THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
February 19 
In Two Weeks 
the cash premiums will be distributed 
to agents and club-raisers, for clubs re¬ 
ceived between January 17 and March 1 
inclusive. The first premium is 850 hard 
cash, but every club of five or more is 
guaranteed a premium. We want a good 
many clubs of five. The 850 premium 
will, probably, go almost as a free gift, 
as no one is working with any vigor for 
it. We want to ask all our friends to 
make an effort for that club of five ; we 
mean you, too. Can't you take an hour 
or two and do it ?

MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain market opened dull and weak on 
Monday, and although it became a little firmer 
during the week, it remained quiet, and closed a 
little stronger at the end. Stocks of grain here 
were lighter, and there were smaller receipts, re¬ 
ports of low and decreasing stocks in Europe, 
and difficulty in getting grain to the seaboard. 
There has been no material change in prices, and 
the week closed with the market in good shape. 
The Chicago market is more active, wheat being 
the leading grain there. 
^.Receipts of potatoes have been light, demand 
fair, and prices fairly sustained. There seems 
to be a feeling that the supply in the country is 
fully equal to the demands that will be made 
upon it, so that there is no tendency toward much 
higher prices. Most vegetables are arriving more 
freely. There is a large supply of sweet potatoes, 
and they are dragging somewhat. Cabbage is 
plentiful. California cauliflowers are plentiful 
and lower. Few vegetables are now arriving 
from New Orleans, but Florida vegetables are in 
large supply. There is a wide range, both in 
quality and prices. There is a small supply of 
Bermuda vegetables. 
There is a liberal supply of dressed poultry, and 
the weather has been unfavorable; the trade is 
dull and unsettled. Receipts of live poultry are, 
also, large, and there is a considerable accumu¬ 
lation on hand, so that the market is weak. 
Eggs have declined considerably for the time of 
year, but the arrivals are largely western and 
southern. The strictly fresh-laid, nearby eggs 
are not in excessive supply. 
Receipts of butter are fully equal to demands, 
and trade is very quiet. Strictly fresh fancy 
creamery is firm, as the supply of this is not 
large. On the whole, the market seems to be a 
little weaker than at the close of last week. The 
cheese market is, also, dull, as there is no en¬ 
couragement for exporters to buy, and they are 
doing very little business.

MILK AND CREAM. 
The total daily supply has been 23,150 cans of milk. 
163 cans of condensed milk and 406 cans of cream. 
Beginning January 1, the Milk Exchange price has 
been 294 cents a quart net t0 tlle shipper at points 
sublect to a 26-cent freight rate. 
Tub prices of butter for the past two seasons 
have been almost the death of the dairy business 
here, as there is no chance eight miles from the 
railroad, to send milk to Chicago, 130 miles dis¬ 
tant, for retailing. An average of 55 cents per 
100 pounds for milk, or about one cent per quart 
for the entire year, is all we could pay, and we 
have a first-class buttermaker, and always get 
the top price for Elgin creamery. We pay 90 
cents per 100 pounds now, but in May, as low as 
35 cents. Of course, we don’t keep Jersey cows, 
and it wouldn’t pay us. Beef is the objective 
point. Our yield of butter runs from 3)4 pounds 
in Summer to 4)4 in Winter per 100 pounds of 
milk. We received, during 1897, 2,258,035 pounds 
of milk, a falling off of one-third from the receipts 
of 1896. w. s. s.

Dr. Hunter's Book on the Lungs 
Progress of Medical Science. 
A little book published by Dr. Robert 
Hunter, of 117 West 45th Street, New 
York, gives all the latest discoveries and 
improvements in the theory and treat¬ 
ment of Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, 
and Consumption, fully explaining their 
differences and their cure by medicated 
air inhalations. 
Dr. Hunter was the father and founder 
of the local treatment of the lungs by 
antiseptic medicated air inhalations, the 
inventor of the first inhaling instruments 
ever employed for the cure of lung dis¬ 
eases, and the discoverer of the only 
germicide that cures Consumption by 
destroying the bacilli of tuberculosis in 
the lungs of the patient. His treatment 
consists of healing and cleansing balms 
applied to the lungs three times a day by 
tiis inhaling instruments, the application 
of antiseptic oils to the chest, which sur¬ 
round the body with a zone of medicated 
air, and filling the chamber in which the 
patient sleeps with antiseptic vapors, 
thus keeping up a curative action on the 
lungs day and night. 
No other treatment in the world is so 
direct, common-sense and successful. 
Mrs. Milford Jones says ; It gives me 
pleasure to give all the information I can 
concerning Dr. Hunter and the treatment. 
I can truly say that with God’s blessing 
I am a living witness of its power to cure. 
My disease was of nearly three years’ 
standing; I had been treated by seven 
different doctors, all pronouncing my 
ease very serious, and some hopeless. I 
heard of Dr. Hunter and called on him 
as my last hope. He stated my case very 
clearly, saying there was a cavity in my 
right lung, which to me looked very 
dark. He told me he could cure me if I 
had patience, and would be faithful in 
the treatment, but that it would take a 
long time. 
1 am now able to do my housework 
and work in the store. My friends can 
scarcely believe it possible for me to look 
and be so well, for they had expected to 
bury me long ago. 
1 firmly believe if you are in a curable 
condition at all, Dr. Hunter can do it. I 
feel much interested in all sufferers of 
such a terrible disease. May God bless 
Dr. Hunter’s treatment to your cure.
