HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market as a whole has been 
rather dull during the week, although 
prices have not changed much from one 
week ago. Late in the week wheat was 
somewhat stronger on account of reports 
of higher prices abroad and damage to for¬ 
eign crops. Export sales were tolerably

heavy, and receipts rather light. The corn 
market closed strong, though exports were 
only moderate. The movement in the in¬ 
terior is reported to be large. The mar¬ 
ket on oats was quiet but closed firm on 
an advance in the western prices. Export 
sales were small. There is little business 
in rye, largely for export. Stocks are re¬ 
ported very low, and there will be little 
business until the new crop arrives. Re¬ 
ceipts of butter have been moderate, and 
the market has shown little change from 
one week ago. Of the lower grades, there 
is a surplus, and these are weak at uncer¬ 
tain prices. Some lots show damage by heat. 
Receipts of cheese are only fair, but the 
market is very quiet, with a prospect of a 
surplus being carried over. Receipts of eggs 
are moderate, and trading is brisk. Re¬ 
ceipts of potatoes are heavy, and the mar¬ 
ket is weakened somewhat, with lower 
prices. Old potatoes are still being offer¬ 
ed, and if of choice quality, bring fair 
prices, although the quantity sold is not 
large. There is a good supply of poultry, 
but the market is in fair shape, and busi¬ 
ness is good.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Mr. T. A. Stevens, of the Grand View 
Stock Farm, Tingley, Iowa, says that 
Fleming’s Lump Jaw Cure has cured for 
him one of the most persistent and aggra¬ 
vated cases of Lump Jaw he ever saw. 
Aided by science, American farmers have 
become the world’s greatest food pro¬ 
ducers.They are not exact, however, in 
commercial matters. The measure of buy¬ 
ing and selling farm products is weight. 
We ought to know to a pound the weight 
of what we buy and sell. That is the only 
way to protect ourselves. This can be done 
only by passing the goods over a pair of 
scales. These can now be bought so 
cheaply that there is small excuse for go¬ 
ing without. The Osgood Scale Co., 103 
Centre Street, Binghamton, N. Y., is one 
of the most reliable concerns in the coun¬ 
try. They issue a full catalogue on scales.

Subscribers who have something to sell or 
buy or exchange, new or old, are invited 
to make their case known in this column. 
Help and Situation Wants will also be in¬ 
serted here. The cost will be four cents a 
word, each insertion; cash should accom¬ 
pany the order. This column will make and 
save money for the farmers who use it and 
watch it.

As a result of the Winter, on 60 or 70 
acres of bearing peach orchards, we will 
not have one bushel of fruit. The trees, 
however, have recovered remarkably; I 
shall lose, probably, not over five per cent, 
and those aged and wormy trees. Young 
trees show but little damage. My sweet 
and English Morello cherry trees are con¬ 
siderably injured. Japan plums stood the 
Winter well. Lombard trees damaged. Ni¬ 
agara grape vines were cut down to the 
root in many cases; Concord uninjured. 
Allegan Co., Mich. h. v. m. 
Apples in Connecticut.— Our Rhode 
Island Greenings are bearing a good crop. 
About 20 per cent of our Baldwin trees are 
well loaded, and as many more partially. 
Fallawater is doing better, as most of the 
trees have plenty on. King is showing up 
better than ever before, perhaps one-third 
being full. Gravenstein is very light. 
Wealthy is well loaded. Williams Favorite 
will produce half a crop. McIntosh Red 
have enough on. Baldwins are our busi¬ 
ness apples, and nine-tenths of our trees 
are of that variety, so on the whole, we 
will have but a light crop this year. We 
did have quite a number of Ben Davis, but 
have grafted over most of them. What 
few we have left are bearing fairly well. 
There is no reason or excuse for growing 
the B—D— here, where so many really good 
kinds do well, and we do not regret giving 
it up. j. T. M.

$50 Sewing Machine for $19.50. 
WITH ONE YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE R. N.-Y., 820. 
We should be sorry if any reader of The R. N.-Y. in any part of the country 
should pay $40 or $50, or even $25 or $30 for a sewing machine. We would be sorry 
because we can send him just as good a machine as is made for $19.50. The finish 
and appearance and attachments are in 
every way equal to the best machines 
made. We will send it ON TRIAL, freight 
paid, and you may return it at our ex¬ 
pense, if you are not satisfied; you shall 
be the judge yourself. We shall sell them 
at this price only to subscribers. We have 
sold thousands of these machines to sub¬ 
scribers, and we have never had one re¬ 
turned. Several families in connection 
with The R. N.-Y. have them ; that is why 
we can praise them so highly. 
For $19.50, we will send the machine to 
any subscriber, freight paid to any address 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For $20, we 
include a year’s subscription. After a fair 
trial, we will return the money and pay 
freight both ways, if you are not satisfied. 
We will send it for a club of 10 subscriptions at $1 each, and $15 extra.
