THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
December 1 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER.—Extras have dropped one cent 
since last report, 26 cents being the top 
price now. The receipts of fresh goods 
show no increase, and there is no accum- 
mulation on traders’ hands. June cream¬ 
ery is not so active as last week. State 
dairies show a very irregular quality. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is down a little from 
last report. Exporters complain of a 
scarcity in offerings of hard wheats. Corn 
is active with considerable export buying. 
Home trade and export demand for oats 
are fair. Both rye and barley are dull. 
But little buckwheat is moving, except to 
the country mills. The price is too high 
for European trade. 
E1VE STOCK.—Receipts for week ending 
November 22 were: 14,764 cattle, 224 cows, 
6,871 calves, 52,692 sheep, and 60,721 hogs. 
Common to choice steers sold at $4 to 
$5.30; oxen and stags, $2 to $4.50; bulls, $2.40 
to $3.25; and cows, $1 to $3. Veals brought 
$4 to $8; grassers, $2.25 to $2.50; and fed 
calves, $2.75 to $3.50. Sheep sold at $2 to 
$3.75; and lambs, $4 to $5.12%. 
DRESSED POULTRY.-Supplies for 
Thanksgiving are coming in. The early 
part of the week was muggy and unfavor¬ 
able for dressed meats, but the change 
later had a good effect on the market. 
Buyers are cautious about taking dry- 
packed goods, fearing that they may have 
been damaged by the hot weather in tran¬ 
sit. Also iced stock that is delayed or 
comes a long distance gets in fully as bad 
shape as the dry-packed in a warm spell. 
There is considerable call for tine young 
ducks.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Everything for the farmer is the an¬ 
nouncement of Cash Supply & Mfg. Co., 
Kalamazoo, Mich. In their advertisement 
this company does not show everything, 
but you will find cuts showing many im¬ 
plements that are seasonable just at this 
time. 
The King Harness Co., of Owego, N. Y., 
asks you to send four cents in stamps for 
their catalogue before buying a harness. 
Many of our readers have bought harness 
from this house, and we cannot recall a 
single complaint. Only one profit from 
maker to user is the motto. 
Many liL.e jobs can be done at home in 
half the time required to go to the black¬ 
smith shop. Of course, the proper tools 
must be had. A forge, an anvil and vice 
are necessaries in a farmer’s workshop. 
Write to C. R. Harper Mfg. Co., Marshall¬ 
town, la., and see for how small an amount 
you can get this outfit. 
A man in Wisconsin writes that he has 
used a Bowsher mill eight years con¬ 
stantly, and it has always been ready for 
business. This mill is made by the P. N. 
Bowsher Co., South Bend, Ind. Of course, 
many improvements are perfected in eight 
years, but such a good record is certainly 
an index of the character of the product 
from their factory to-day. 
Dairymen can detect ai once whether 
their cows have been allowed to drink ice- 
cold water in Winter—it shows in the milk 
pail. It certainly pays to warm the drink¬ 
ing water for milch cows. It also pays to 
heat or cook the food for hogs and cattle, 
but the difference may not be so apparent 
as in the case of the milch cows. Kelly 
Foundry and Machine Co., 27 Purl St., Gosh¬ 
en, Ind., offer a tank heater suitable for 
farmer’s needs. They also make the 
famous Goshen steel tanks. Write for full 
information and prices. 
Oregon Fruit Growing.—I do all my 
own grafting and budding, and some for 
others. When doing this work for others 
I do the work in my own way, by the day. 
I propagate all my fruit trees except to 
get new varieties. I know several large 
fruit growers who do all their own bud¬ 
ding and grafting, with hired men to work 
along with them. Pruning is often done 
by help obtained in the neighborhood, usu¬ 
ally by men who understand the work. 
Spraying in this locality is all done by 
hand power, and all use good sprayers. 
But I am sorry to say that there is but 
a small per cent of common farmers who 
spray. The time has come even here in 
Oregon when people will have to spray or 
do without fruit. j. o. G. 
Drain, Ore. 
CONSUMPTION CURED. 
An old physician, retired from practice, had 
placed in his hands by an East India missionary 
the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the 
speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, 
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and 
Lung Affections; also a positive and radical cure 
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints. 
Having tested its wonderful curative powers in 
thousands of cases, and desiring to relieve human 
suffering, I will send free of charge to .all who wish 
it, this recipe, in German, French or English, with 
full directions for preparing and using. Sent by
