THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—The receipts are 
heavy, but trade is good, and receivers have 
hopes of getting their stocks pretty well 
cleaned out by the close of the week. Some 
of the inferior iced stock which was left 
over from the Thanksgiving trade is being 
worked out this w-eek. The only scarcity 
reported is in prime young hen turkeys. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market is fairly 
active. The weather is generally favorable 
for curing and marketing corn, and the 
visible supply in the markets is increasing. 
Oats have advanced a trifle. Rye and 
barley are dull. In Chicago prime Timothy 
seed is quoted at $4.40, and clover, $8 to $10. 
'EGGS.—The increased supplies from the 
Southwest have relieved the scarcity of fresh 
stock, and prices are on the decline. On 
account of the unusually high prices of 
late, the consumptive demand has fallen off 
somewhat, but trade is now improving. 
Holders of cold storage eggs are quite 
anxious to sell. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were: 8,920 cattle, 228 
cows, 3,667 calves, 34,156 sheep, and 25,799 
hogs. Native steers brought $4.60 to $5.50; 
fat oxen, $4.90 to $5.10; and bulls, $2.25 to 
$4. Milch cows with calves brought $25 to 
$50. Veal calves sold at $4 to $8.25; and 
grassers, $2.25 to $2.75. Common to prime 
sheep brought $2.25 to $4.25; and lambs, $5 
to $6.25. __

A cold snap, and then the ice harvest 
will begin. Be sure to have your tools in 
readiness, or the ice may melt before you 
are prepared to begin. Write Ross Bros., 
Worcester, Mass., about that ice plow they 
are advertising. 
The subject of feeding roots to stock has 
been getting a good deal of attention from 
our correspondents lately. We would refer 
our readers looking for a good root cutter 
to Cutaway Harrow Co., Higganum, Conn. 
The Oriole feed mill grinds corn fine, 
making it suitable for table use. We think 
this is quite a point in its favor. For fur¬ 
ther information write the manufacturer, 
Wilson Bros., Easton, Pa. This firm also 
makes a good bone cutter. 
Why feed green bone? The many rea¬ 
sons can be summed up that it is the cheap¬ 
est and best poultry food known. With a 
good bone cutter like the Dandy the bone 
is easily prepared and green bones can 
usually be had at the butchers for little or 
nothing. The Dandy is made by Stratton 
Mfg. Co., Erie, Pa. Send for catalogue, 
prices, etc. 
Last week Mr. Geo. Oglesbee, of Hardin 
Co., O., gave his experience in cooking food 
for hogs. He considers it a great saving 
with the majority of foods, and that he 
was able to market his hogs from two to 
three weeks earlier than w T hen fed raw 
food. We would advise those buying a 
cooker to look into the merits of Heesen’s. 
The manufacturers make a point of guar¬ 
anteed capacity. Write Heesen Bros. Co , 
Tecumseh, Mich., for illustrated booklet. 
CANADIAN ROOTS AND CELLARS. 
In this settlement most of the people have 
good cellars under their dwellings, and as 
very few plant more than one acre of roots, 
they have room for them in the cellar. In 
the old style of small log houses and shan¬ 
ties with nothing but a hole under the floor, 
they pit them out, as described in The R. 
N.-Y. a short time ago. Apples may be 
used in the same way, and will keep better 
than in a cellar, if not kept too warm. We 
do not raise many potatoes in these parts, 
as we have not much of a market for them. 
Sometimes they are as high as $1 per bag; 
nobody has any to sell, then, and some¬ 
times 35, 40 or 50 cents per bag. December 
1 a market was opened in Campbellford for 
the first time; potatoes and apples sold for 
60 cents per bag. Most of our barns have 
stone basements the full size of barn; here 
we have our root cellars. They may not 
be best for keeping roots, but most con¬ 
venient. In the cold stormy weather one 
does not have to go out of doors to feed 
cows, horses, or anything, etc.; they are all 
comfortable under the barn, excepting the 
pigs, and sometimes they are there, too. 
If kept cool enough and not too cold white 
turnips and mangels will keep till April; 
Swedes and carrots will keep a month or 
two longer. In these parts we begin to feed 
turnips, the soft kinds, where the directors 
of cheese factories will allow it, about July 
or August, and feed right along as long as 
they last. I began feeding about Septem¬ 
ber, and intend to feed till Christmas, and 
then stop till March. I would feed all the 
time if I had plenty. We have no market 
for roots, but I suppose they would sell for 
about 15 or 20 cents per bushel. Where a 
person has no root cellar, the roots may 
be put in heaps on the ground without a 
pit, then nail pieces of boards or scantling 
together like an A; put these over the piles 
of roots for rafters, cover with boards, 
then with straw and a little earth, and as 
the frost increases put on more cover, 
earth or manure. Be sure to leave a pipe 
for ventilation; close it when very cold, 
open when fine. t. c.
