TOBACCO MARKET. 
There is a little more inquiry for old to¬ 
bacco, good wrappers of the 1900 crop bring¬ 
ing a fair price. About 100 cases of these 
goods were sold recently for 60 cents. The 
seed market is dull. The auction sale of 
shade-grown tobacco at Hartford, Conn., 
was well attended. Samples representing 
319 bales, the total cultivated under 
cloth last year, were shown. One bale of 
very fancy wrappers brought $2.80 per 
pound. Other prime light wrappers ranged 
from $1.35 to $2.50. Second-grade, light, 
brought 75 cents to $1; and prime, dark, 75 
to 80 cents. The following table shows 
average prices realized by different grow¬

Mr. Cook, in the issue of May 3, highly 
recommends Carbolineum Avenarlus as a 
paint for preserving the silo. Those inter¬ 
ested in silo matters can get full informa¬

lineum Wood Preserving Co., 21 Park Row,

The kerosene engine has some strong 
points in its favor for farm work over all 
others. Some of the advantages are: No 
engineer or fireman required, always ready 
for use, safe and reliable. One pint of oil 
per horse-power per hour is all the fuel re¬ 
quired, which makes the cost of operation 
comparatively inexpensive. Any one look¬ 
ing for power to run silage cutters, thresh¬ 
ing machines, separators or other farm 
power will do well to write to A. Mietz, 128

Swan’s Standard Roofing for the roofs 
and Swan’s Extra Heavy Felt for lining, 
siding, etc., will please every user. These 
articles and a full line of roofing and build¬ 
ing papers are manufactured by the A. F. 
Swan Company, of New York City. These 
preparations will make a building com¬ 
pletely tight and warm and exclude entire¬ 
ly all wind, rain, sleet, snow, etc. Aside 
from their great usefulness and long wear 
—some roofs having now been on for 16 
years and being still reported in good con¬ 
dition—they have the added advantage 
of being low in price. They therefore 
come within the easy reach of all. Then, 
too, they can be successfully laid or put on 
by anybody without previous experience or 
expert knowledge. The Swan people pub¬ 
lish some very interesting little booklets on 
the subject of roofing and siding with cuts 
showing the method of application. They 
will mail these free if you request them. 
Mr. P. V alente, of Peekskill, N. Y., 
writes concerning Black Insecticide Soap, 
as follows: “The Black Soluble Insecti¬ 
cide Soap bought of you last Spring was 
used on some cherry trees that were very 
badly affected with aphis and other insect 
pests. It took only one spraying, which 
was very quickly and easily done, entirely 
to clear them of all insects. Your insecti¬ 
cide has done for me what others have fail¬ 
ed to do. I shall certainly use it again 
next year.” V. Casazza & Bro., 192 Prince 
Street, New York, are agents for this soap 
for United States and Canada. Write them 
for full information. 
An invention which is rapidly winning its 
way to public favor is the Howell adjust¬ 
able steel horse collar, manufactured by 
the Howell & Spaulding Co., of Caro, Mich. 
The first impression with many is that a 
steel collar is too unyielding to be com¬ 
fortable on a horse, while the reverse is 
true, for the same reason that army sad¬ 
dles with their wood trees never gall the 
back of a horse. It is the most humane 
collar. A soft collar makes the flesh soft, 
the perspiration irritates it, a galled neck 
is the result, and a cure is impossible 
while working. Users of steel collars never 
complain of galled necks; the collars are 
lighter; having no hanres or straps they 
are more convenient, and while the cost is 
a trifle more at the outset, they are the 
cheapest in the end, as once bought they 
last forever, and being adjustable, can be 
made to fit any horse. Address as above 
Right at this time the corn planter is 
perhaps the most seasonable tool with the 
farmer. No kind of farm work as now 
done has departed more widely in method 
in a generation than the simple matter of 
planting corn. The writer cannot but mar¬ 
vel at the up-to-date planter and its regu¬ 
lar and exact work, when his mind reverts 
to the time when as a boy he dropped the 
corn by hand and was followed by his 
father with the hoe. Take for example the 
Eclipse Corn Planter, manufactured by the 
Belcher & Taylor Agricultural Tool Com¬ 
pany, of Chicopee Falls, Mass. It is per¬ 
haps as near typical of what is considered 
the best and most up-to-date in corn plant¬ 
ers as anything to be found, it plants with 
regularity and precision, corn, beans, beets, 
etc. It plants in hills or drills as desired. 
Any of our readers interested in corn plant¬ 
ers would do well to look up the Eclipse, 
and write the manufacturers for a cata¬ 
logue. 
Folly of “Certificates.”—I never, until 
within a few days, realized of how little 
account a certificate of inspection of nur¬ 
sery in Connecticut, where I saw plum and 
peach trees, especially, completely covered 
with San Jos6 scale. They had not even 
been sprayed, and from under these trees 
strawberry plants were being dug and 
some of them shipped to the State of 
Washington, bearing the tag of a New 
York State nursery, which will probably 
receive all the credit if the scale is trans¬ 
mitted hence. Both nurseries have a “clean 
bill of health” from the inspectors—so- 
called J. E. p. 
Moosup, Conn. 
Witli the most Insidious forms of disease—it Is no 
wise to tritle. Dr. D. Jayne’s Expectorant is the 
natural remedy.— Adv.
