THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BEANS.—Trade is not heavy, though 
some jobbing in marrows is reported. 
There are a number of export orders for 
Red kidney. White kidney are scarce. 
BUTTER.—Extras have advanced one 
cent since last report. Arrivals are light, 
and this fact, together with the cooler 
weather, makes the market very firm. On 
lower grades, however, the conditions are 
' different, and it is hard to dispose of 
much of the ordinary stock. Factory but¬ 
ter is very dull. At present there is little 
demand for it either for export or home 
use. 
EGGS of all grades are higher. Fresh 
collections good enough for fancy trade 
are particularly scarce. Holders of re¬ 
frigerator goods are firm in their ideas, 
but no large deals in this stock are re¬ 
ported at the advanced price. Unless re¬ 
ceipts increase largely another advance is 
likely, though dealers are reluctant to 
force prices up to a point that will ma¬ 
terially lessen trade. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the week 
ending November 8 were 12,266 cattle, 224 
cows, 5,466 calves, 44,858 sheep, and 30,114 
hogs. Native steers sold at $4.25 to $5.60; 
oxen and stags, $2.25 to $3.30; bulls, $2.25 to 
$3.75, and cows, $1.45 to $3.50. Milch cows 
brought $35 to $50. Veal calves brought $3 
to $8.50; grassers, $3 to $3.50, and yearlings, 
$2.75. Sheep sold slowly at $2.25 to $4, and 
lambs, $5 to $5.95. Light State hogs brought 
$5.35. _

BUSINESS BITS. 
Last week one of our correspondents 
spoke of mixing onions with green bone 
for his hens. A green bone and vegetable 
cutter is a necessity in any poultry yard. 
Humphrey & Sons, Box 39, Joliet, Ill., 
make a good one. Send for free catalogue, 
which contains an egg record sheet for 
each month. 
F. W. Bird & Son, of East Walpole, 
Mass., say that the paint which they 
recommend for use on Neponset and Paroid 
roofing is Parine paint. This is a black 
asphalt paint and will not injure in any 
way the roofing. They made Parine simply 
to have a paint which they could recom¬ 
mend with a certainty. 
To keep the feet warm and dry in Win¬ 
ter is essential to good health. Leather 
boots, even when they do keep out the 
water, are cold, and the regular rubber 
boot is unhealthful if worn continuously. 
A very good substitute for both is the 
Bull Band all-knit w r ool boot and rubbers, 
made by the Mishawaka Woolen Mfg. 
Co., Mishawaka, Ind. Ask your dealer for 
them, and if he does not keep them write 
the manufacturer. 
When the writer was a boy on the farm, 
one of the duties was to hold the lantern 
while an older member of the family gave 
the cattle an extra feeding just before bed¬ 
time. We know of many barns having 
been burned through defective lanterns. 
The Dietz lantern is the standard every¬ 
where, and it is poor economy to buy any 
other. A postal card will bring you an in¬ 
teresting pocket catalogue. Address R. E. 
Dietz Co., 87 Laight St., New’ York. 
There are thousands of farmers who find 
a gun necessary on the farm. A man may 
possibly feel that he can keep a scrub 
cow, sheep or dog and still be classed as a 
good citizen, but any man who keeps a 
scrub gun is a dangerous citizen. No 
doubt about that. It never pays to take 
any risks with powder and lead. If you 
must have a gun get a Winchester and use 
the shells prepared by the Winchester 
Arms Co., New Haven, Conn. Then if 
your aim is true the target will suffer. 
Hundreds of young people on the farm 
are going to have an hour or two of spare 
time every day during the Winter. This 
time can be frittered away so that they 
will have nothing useful to show for it 
when Spring comes; or, by doing definite 
work in some one line, a surprising amount 
may be accomplished. The International 
Correspondence Schools, Box 1510, Scran¬ 
ton, Pa., offer great inducements at a mod¬ 
erate cost to those who wish to use their 
spare time to advantage. Write for cata¬ 
logues and full particulars in regard to 
this system of instruction by mail, stating 
what line of study you would like to take 
up. 
A CURE FOR ASTHMA.

business in order to be cured. Nature has pro¬ 
duced a vegetable remedy that w’ill permanently

A bald roof, that is, a roof worn away in 
spots, can be quickly cured by simply 
tacking over the “ bald'” spot a piece of 
P & B Ruberoid Roofing. 
If you cover your entire roof with it, throwing 
away the old rooting, you will never have bald 
spots. For Cow Barns. Stables and Outbuild¬ 
ings, Ruberoid is unequaled as a rooting and 
siding. It is a sure protection against draughts, 
water and cold, is airtight and proof against 
weather, water heat, cold, vermin, etc. Yonr 
horses and cattle will be healthier when thus 
kept warm and dry. Rain water running from 
a “Kuberoid” roof can be used for all domestic 
purposes. Write tor samples of Ruberoid.
