THE RURAL NEW-YORKER! 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—The receipts are 
large, but trade is considerably improved. 
Choice chickens are scarce and wanted, 
but fowls are plenty and show more 
weakness than any other item in the list. 
Eastern Spring ducks are firm, and have 
advanced one-half cent.

FEED. 
THE GRAPE SITUATION is improved, 
and holders of the better grades are Arm 
in their ideas. Wine grapes and other in¬ 
ferior qualities are least active. The sea¬ 
son for California Tokay grapes is about 
over. There are large receipts of Almerlas 
in barrels, yet prices remain high. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market is Arm, with 
an advance of one cent on some grades. 
Reports from Argentina are that damage 
to the crop there will cut off 30,000,000 
bushels from the expected amount for ex¬ 
port. The export demand for corn is 
active, and offerings of new corn are large. 
Oats are quiet with light home and export 
sales. Rye and barley are dull and un¬ 
changed. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for week ending 
October 31: 14,812 cattle, 146 cows, 6,053 
calves, 48,813 sheep, and 36,917 hogs. Native 
steers brought $4.55 to $5.45; oxen and stags, 
$2.40 to $4.50; bulls, $2 to $3.90, and cows, 
$1.50 to $3.90. Prices for milch cows ranged 
from $25 to $57.50. Common to choice veals 
sold at $4.50 to $8.60; grassers, $2.50 to $3.25; 
yearlings, $2.25 to $3.75, and fed calves, $3.26 
to $4. Sheep brought $2.25 to $3.75, and 
lambs, $4.50 to $5.40.

Around the dairy there is nothing that 
takes the place of steam for thorough 
cleaning of the utensils. When a steam

an easy one. Jas. Leffel & Co., Box 60, 
Springfield, O., make an excellent steam 
engine for dairy purposes. It is also well 
adapted for all kinds of farm work—thrash¬

There is nothing that will help more to 
relieve drudgery in the kitchen, and to 
render the preparation of meals an actual 
pleasure, than the Enterprise meat and 
food chopper. Every cook should have one 
at her command. It will enable her to ado 
greater variety to her table, to save time 
in the preparation of almost every meal, 
as well as to prevent the waste of many 
dollars’ worth of food. A book entitled 
“The Enterprising Housekeeper,” contain¬ 
ing two hundred recipes has been issued 
by the manufacturers. Anyone may ob¬ 
tain it by addressing the Enterprise Manu¬ 
facturing Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., and 
enclosing four cents in stamps. 
Dairymen and breeders who are compe¬ 
tent to speak on the subject are unanimous 
in their approval of the practice of dis¬ 
horning, both from the humane and the 
practical money-making point of view. A 
great deal depends, however;, upon the 
manner in which the operation is per¬ 
formed. The Convex is one of the simplest 
and at the same time most powerful dis- 
horners made, having a double action, and 
making a smooth, quick, clean cut, with 
the least possible pain to the animal. One 
special advantage is the fact that It Is 
open at one side, so that it hooks on to the 
horn, being easily put In place, and easily 
removed, if the animal for any reason be¬ 
comes unmanageable before the cut is 
made. Send for the Illustrated pamphlet 
on dishorning, addressing George Webster, 
Manufacturer, Christiana, Pa. 
My experience with Sweet clover differs 
from that of A. S. Several years ago I 
purchased a farm on which was a patch of 
It (Melilotus alba), and I could Indues 
neither horses, cows or hogs to eat It, and 
had some difficulty In eradicating it. tr.
