Potato receipts are rather light and prices 
for choice a little above last week’s report. 
Damage from rot is quite serious and makes 
speculative buying uncertain business. 
Oniony Rye.—“I notice in market quota¬ 
tions ‘Rye free from onions.’ What does this 
mean?” E. t. 
New York. 
In some parts of this country the wild 
onion is firmly established. On the top of the 
stalk a lot of little sets form. These often 
ripen about the same time as rye and are 
likely to be bound up with the grain. By 
thrashing time they are dried down to about 
the size and color of rye kernels, and a good 
many of them pass through the rye sieve of 
the cleaner. Being very strong, they flavor 
the grain when ground and injure it for many 
purposes. This is one of the most trouble¬ 
some weeds, and after once established one 
has a night-and-day job to get rid of it. To 
dig and burn every plant is not a big job 
where a farm contains only scattering 
patches. Where fields are overrun with onions 
only some form of long continued intense cul¬ 
tivation will clear them out. and the cultiva¬ 
tor's patience is likely to lie exhausted long 
before the job is done. Onions in pasture or 
hay taint milk so thoroughly that the flavor 
is noticeable in butter made from it. 
Fkuits. —Apples are plenty, but with a 
strong demand prices have ranged a little 
higher than last week, choice red sorts being 
particularly active. Buyers of Winter apples 
are operating cautiously, and comparatively 
few closed deals are reported. The pear situ¬ 
ation has improved, choice Bartlett and 
Seckel going above $4 in some cases. Really 
salable plums are higher, but a lot of the stuff 
received has been in bad condition. Teach 
arrivals are abundant, but as a rule the fruit 
is bringing full value. The grape demand is 
increasing, prices now being within reach of 
cheap buyers. Muskmelons are very low, re¬ 
ceipts being heavy. Colorado large crates 
have gone at $1 or under. Anyone fishing for 
surprises can get more bites in handling 
muskmelons than any other class of fruit. 
The choicest Rocky Fords do not always pan 
out as expected, and I have this year had jer¬ 
sey melons equal to anything seen from the 
West. The deadly blight seems to have failed 
to appear in many sections of the East for¬ 
merly visited.

RUBER-OID 
WAS THE 
First “OID 99 
and is the pioneer weatherproof 
and elastic Roofing. 
FOR THIRTEEN YEARS 
lluberoid Rooting has been, as it is to-day, 
THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD 
by which Rooting quality is judged. It has demonstrated powers of endurance 
found in no other liooflng. It enjoys the prestige of the highest authorities in the 
world. The United States Government has ordered over three million square feet for 
the Philippines alone. 
Attempts are constantly being made to deceive the public by means of inferior 
imitations. Our registered trade-mark, “RUBEHOID,” is imitated, the externa^ 
appearance of the imitation roofing is made to 
resemble Ruberoid, and even our price-lists and 
literature are copied. 
For the safety of the friends of Ruberoid, there¬ 
fore, we stamp the registered trade-mark,‘ RUB¬ 
EROID,” on the under side of our Rooting. If not 
there, it is not genuine Ruberoid. We are the sole 
owners and patentees of the combination of ingre¬ 
dients used in Ruberoid. No one else can use it; 
therefore, there is no roofing which can be “ the 
same.” Remember to IDOK FOR THE TRADE¬ 
MARK. Write for Booklet *• k” and samples.
