MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has been more active during 
the week; especially is this true with reference 
to wheat prices, which are now materially 
higher than one week ago. There seems little 
question that there is a serious shortage, not 
only in the crop in this country, but in some 
other of the wheat-producing sections of the 
world, and the probability is that wheat prices 
will go permanently higher. Sales have not been 
remarkably heavy, and export trade has been 
light owing to the advance in prices. There is 
a moderate export business in corn, although 
no material change In prices. The market is 
strong, and interior receipts are not heavy. 
Other grains show little change, but the market 
is steady. The hay market has been strong, but 
the probability is that there will be lower prices 
if receipts continue large. The hop market 
shows no change in prices,but there is an increase 
in demand, and the situation is strong. Receipts 
of butter have been ample, and the market is 
somewhat dull and unsettled. The probabili¬ 
ties are that slightly lower prices will rule. 
Cheese prices are slightly higher than one week 
ago, on account of the moderate supply and an 
active export demand. Receipts of eggs have 
been heavy, and the market has shown some 
weakness. A large part of the receipts, how¬ 
ever, have been seriously affected by the extreme 
heat and they failed to come up to the mark. 
Fancy fresh nearby stock is in good demand at 
good prices. Receipts of potatoes have been 
heavier, and the market is easier at somewhat 
lower prices. Old potatoes are practically a 
back number, although there are some sales at 
about half the price of new potatoes. The mar¬ 
ket on poultry, both dressed and live, is dull and 
weak. Young ducks have become very plentiful, 
and the price is low. There is a good supply of 
vegetables, although the quality of those from 
nearby is rather poor. Long Island is doing very 
little to supply us in this line this year.

The low-down feature of the Spangler grain 
drill recommends it to many farmers. It affords 
the advantage of being compact, saves labor in 
putting grain Into the feed-box, and leaves an 
unobstructed view of the team for driving. The 
manufacturers’ little book gives the advantages 
fully. They will send it, if you are interested. 
Address The Spangler Mfg. Co., York, Pa. 
An inspection of a recent illustrated catalogue 
i:sued by the R. E. Dietz Company, 87 Laight 
Street, New York, reveals an array of lanterns 
that seems practically endless. Lanterns to carry 
in the hand, lanterns to hang on the wall, to 
pi Ant on posts, for attachment to vehicles, to 
hunt, to fish, to drive with, in short, lanterns for 
about every conceivable service that darkness 
demands. This catalogue is notable for its ex¬ 
tensive list of lanterns and lamps especially 
designed for farm and general country use. It 
will be mailed free on application. 
Sour milk is caused by the development of 
bacteria. This development is hastened by heat 
and foul gases. The bacteria may be kept in 
check by keeping the milk at a low temperature, 
or they may be destroyed entirely by raising it 
to a high temperature—by sterilizing it. When 
cooled and aerated, the heat and gases are ex¬ 
pelled, and the development of bacteria retarded 
—souring is delayed. In this condition, the milk 
is more digestible than when sterilized, and will 
keep long enough for all practical purposes. The 
Champion automatic milk cooler, made by the 
Champion Milk Cooler Co., Cortland, N, Y., is a 
little implement that does the work most satis¬ 
factorily. 
About two years ago, the Dairy and Food Com¬ 
missioner of Ohio charged that Scott’s Emulsion 
contained morphia, and brought suit against 
the proprietors, Scott & Bowne, of New York. 
The case was recently tried in Cincinnati, and 
resulted in a verdict for Scott & Bowne, the 
charges made by the commissioner being prompt¬ 
ly and fully disproved. The Connecticut Experi¬ 
ment Station, at New Haven, has published lists 
of poisoned and adulterated foods, and given the 
name of the manufacturers. These goods are 
being sold in every town of Ohio. The commis 
sioner ought to prosecute these known transgres¬ 
sors of the law, before spending his time and the 
people’s money in the prosecution of wholesome 
goods. 
THE SHOT THAT TELLS. 
Do you know 
what happens 
when one of our 
big; thirteen-inch 
shells strikes a. 
fortification ? It 
is fairly lifted off 
its foundations. 
This is the mod¬ 
ern way of doing 
things: concentra- 
X ting every ounce 
— of power and en- 
ergy into one tre¬ 
mendous irresisti¬ 
ble blow that sim¬ 
ply annihilates 
opposition. This 
is the method that 
means success. 
It is just the 
same in the war¬ 
fare against dis¬ 
ease. While all 
sorts of half¬ 
way compro¬ 
mising medi¬ 
cines in the hands of only partially ex¬ 
perienced doctors make a feeble, “small- 
calibre” sort of resistance to the enemy. 
Dr. Pierce’s magnificent “Golden Medical 
Discovery,” with its splendid blood-purify 
ing, liver-toning, strength-creating power, 
hurls the fortress of disease from its very 
foundations, and searches and drives out 
the lurking symptoms of weakness and de¬ 
bility from every secret hiding place in the 
entire physical system of mankind. 
The work of this grand “Discovery” is 
thorough; it gives the health that is all 
health; the strength that is solid and sub¬ 
stantial and lasting; not flabby fat; not false 
stimulus; but genuine, complete, renewed 
vitality and life-force. 
“ I had been a sufferer for fifteen years nearly 
all the time,” says Mrs. Sarah E. Taylor, of 
Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kans., in a friendlyletter 
to Dr. Pierce. “ In August, 1896 , was taken with 
severe cramping pain in my stomach. The doc¬ 
tor here said it was due to gall-stones. He re¬ 
lieved me for a short time, and then there was a 
hard lump about the size of a goose egg formed 
in my right side. It became so sore I could 
scarcely walk about the house, and I had no ap¬ 
petite. I consulted the best doctors in town and 
they said medicine would do me no good. I 
gave up all hope of ever getting well again. 
“ You advised me to take your ’ Golden Medical 
Discovery’ and ‘Pleasant Pellets,’ which I did 
according to directions. I began to feel better, 
and my appetite came back. Now it is a little 
over a year since I began to do my own work. I 
am stronger than I have been for five years.” 
Look for It. 
Here it is.
