THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
June 3 
HINDSIGHT. 
Grain prices, as a general thing, are a trifle 
lower than one week ago. Export sales are very 
small, and the strike at Buffalo has become a 
very serious matter so far as trade is concerned. 
Butter prices are somewhat lower than one week 
ago. It is not likely that there will be any ma¬ 
terial advance in prices for some time to come. 
Cheese prices are lower, also, though receipts 
are moderate. Receipts of eggs continue large, 
but so many are going into cold storage that 
the market is Arm, and prices are materially 
higher than one week ago. The poultry market 
is firm, and prices generally higher. These 
higher prices have reduced consumption to a 
considerable extent, and this, of course, oper¬ 
ates to lessen the demand in the wholesale mar¬ 
ket. Receipts of live poultry are light, but as 
the demand is not heavy, the market is very 
quiet. Strawberries are the principal fruit now, 
and receive most attention. A few old apples 
are yet in market, but demand for them is lim¬ 
ited. Some huckleberries have arrived from 
the South, and California oranges, and pine¬ 
apples from the West Indies are in evidence 
Southern vegetables are in good supply, and 
each week sho ws receipts from still farther north

BUSINESS BITS. 
The American Hay Tedder is made on a prin¬ 
ciple somewhat different from the usual hay 
tedder. Instead of the angle or crooked shaft 
the forks are placed on a revolving cylinder 
This overcomes the jar and shock of the kicking 
motion. It is made by the Ames Plow Co , Bos¬ 
ton, Mass. 
Those who cure oats and cow peas for hay 
agree that hay caps are almost essential for 
thorough curing. Many farmers also use them 
for curing hay of every kind, and for covering 
stacks. If in need of anything in the line of 
waterproof or canvas covers, Henry Derby, 124 
Chambers Street, New York, will send prices. 
Several years ago, we paid $7 50 for a Dutton 
mowing-machine-knife grinder. We think it has 
paid for Itself every year since. It fastens to th< 
driving wheel of the machine,and one can sharpei 
a set of knives in a few minutes while the team 
is getting breath. The result is better work 
and less wear and tear on team and machine. It 
is now sold for $5 by the Cutaway Harrow Com¬ 
pany, Higganum, Conn 
About six years ago my sister contracted a severe 
Cold and was troubled with a bad Cough. She be¬ 
came very weak and delicate, and a physician was 
called in who pronounced her disease CONSUMP¬ 
TION. She continued to grow worse, and the doctors 
said she could not recover. A friend luduced her 
to try Jayne’s Expectorant. After taking a few 
doses she began to Improve and kept on with the 
medicine until she was entirely well, and has ever 
since enjoyed good health.—L. W. MILLER, Dexter.

HOW TO Dll AIN LAND l’llOLITAlilY. 
On every farm there is probably some latd 
that could be made more productive by under¬ 
drainage. Properly drained land can always 
be worked earlier, and more profitably. The 
best and Aosi 
economical way 
to drain is ex 
plained in the 
book, “ Benefits of Drainage and How to Drain,” 
which is sent free by

COMMISSION HAY and STRAW 
Wrlta for Quotation!. 
\ JUNE PRESENT free 
For the month of June, this watch will be given 
absolutely free to any reader who will send 
us a club of 10 new subscriptions for the re¬ 
mainder of this year, at 50 cents each. One 
yearly subscription at 81 will count two. 
This watch is fully warranted to keep good 
time. Nickel case and movement, jeweled, 
stem wind and set. This is not a clumsy thing, 
commonly called a watch. It is a watch and a 
neat one at that. We want to beat the record 
of new subscriptions for June, hence make the 
above terms for this month only. One or two 
evenings among your neighbors will secure the 
club. The day we receive it, we will send you 
the watch prepaid. 
If the watch does not suit you in every way, 
you may return it and get all your money back. 
But it will suit you. Now is the time to act if you want a nice watch—without 
money—and for little work. THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
T A LKI 7VG IT UP. 
OPINIONS ABOUT THE R. N.-Y. 
Of course, you will be able to tell your neighbors your opinion of The R 
N.-Y. But they may say or think you are interested. Well, let them read what 
OTHERS SAY. 
Mr. W. H. Fry. Greenwood, Ind , writes : , : Remember, T am a LIFE subscriber. 
Don't stop it until you are notified that I am under the sod.” 
Here is a man from Illinois: ‘'I was well pleased with the Horticultural 
Department during my trial subscription. I like the paper better than I antici¬ 
pated that I should, as I supposed it suited only for eastern people ; but corres¬ 
pondence and information from all parts of the country, and the ability of the 
writers make it a paper of interest and value to the Middle West, and I should 
judge, all parts of the Union. I am an amateur horticulturist and tester of new 
varieties of fruits, and find The R. N.-Y. quite as valuable as any western paper.” 
David Emerick, Illinois. 
“ I hope to get The R. N.-Y. forever and forever, as long as the river flows, as 
long as the heart has passions, as long as life has woes ! That is a good while, 
you must admit. Some of your subscribers, I see, brag of the length of time they 
have taken it. Permit me to boast a little of what I am going to do ” 
E. G. Hunt, Beldens, Vt. 
That’s all we are going to give you this time. But if this does not bring them, 
we have more to follow. Now let’s hear from you !
