THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
January 12 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
POTATOES have remained at about the 
same figure for a number of weeks, and 
there are no apparent reasons for an im¬ 
mediate advance in price. The present cold 
snap hinders the free movement of the 
crop, and there are many complaints of 
frozen stock. Receipts from Bermuda are 
increasing, the tubers bringing about 
twice as much as the home-grown product. 
EGGS are going up again, an advance of 
two cents per dozen being noted on last 
week’s figures. The rise affects fresn- 
gathered stock most, yet there is getting 
to be a decided scarcity of choice refriger¬ 
ator goods. 
HOP prices remain firm, and holders are 
looking for a little rise when the brewers 
lay in their new stocks. The highest 
figures noted are 19@21 cents for choice 
1900 New York State. 
MILK PRICES.—At the last meeting of 
the New York Consolidated Milk Ex¬ 
change it was voted to reduce the price of 
milk from 3^ to three cents per quart for 
all points within the 26-cent freight zone.

The Golden Egg states that the probable 
egg crop in this country for the year 1900 
will number 13,000,000,000 eggs, and that if 
these eggs were stood on end one on top of 
the other they would reach almost 500,000 
miles high. 
BUSIHESS BITS. 
It would seem that no farm family could 
afford to be without a food chopper at the 
price the Star is offered in this issue. 
Read the offer on another page. 
The Pierce-Willlams Company, South 
Haven, Mich., are making a first-class 
quality of fruit and vegetable baskets and 
boxes. These packages are very strong, 
light, convenient, and attractive in form. 
If you are a shipper—large or small—write 
for their free catalogue. You will get 
better returns if you pack properly. 
Mr. a. M. Grant, superintendent of 
Phillips’ Academy, Andover, Mass., writes 
that he is convinced that the use of As¬ 
bestine Cold Water Paint retarded the 
spread of the fire from which they suf¬ 
fered December 10 last. In fact, he gives 
this paint credit for saving the buildings. 
The fire-proofing quality accredited to 
this paint is one that will have great 
weight with paint users. 
Every farmer that has not learned the 
food value and the economy of crushed 
or ground cereals in cattle feeding, the 
convenience of grinding grains for home 
use, and the profit in working for neighbor¬ 
ing farmers should write to Sprout, Wal¬ 
dron & Co., Muncy, Pa., for their cata¬ 
logue of mills. These mills are next to 
indestructible and very rapid in their 
work. Purchasers get a guarantee that 
really protects them, but the mills are 
sold on trial. 
A Horse-Trader. —The Horseman tells 
this storj- of a Michigan man: “It is re¬ 
lated of him that this year he bought a pair 
of horses and made the crops on his farm, 
then sold the horses for a farm, the farm 
for a house, the house for a team, buggy, 
harness, etc., sold one horse and a buggy, 
sold the harness for a pig and a wagon, 
made three horse trades with the remain¬ 
ing horse and now has a horse, a wagon 
and pig for. sale. In a year he has owned 
and traded 20 horses, each of which was 
the ‘best’ horse in Newaygo County.’’ 
Road Nuisances.— There have been a 
number of legal cases in England recently 
growing out of the poisoning of live stock. 
The leaf of English yew tree, an ever¬ 
green, is poisonous. Clippings from a tree 
or hedge were allowed to remain on the 
roadside. A heifer ate some of these 
leaves and was killed. Suit was brought 
against the man who trimmed the hedge 
to recover damages. The case seemed to 
hinge upon the fact that the leaving ot 
these trimmings on the public road was a 
nuisance. The judge held that it was a 
public nuisance to put anything on the 
highway that was dangerous to man or 
beast lawfully using the road. It did not 
matter whether the person who put it 
there knew or did not know that it was 
dangerous. The judge also said that the 
farmer had no right to put hedge trim¬ 
mings on the road whether they were dan¬ 
gerous or not, for that amounted to using 
the public highway for a private purpose, 
which w'as not justified. The result was 
a verdict for the value of the heifer. This 
decision indicates that in England at least 
anything placed on the highway must be 
regarded as a nuisance if it interferes with 
the lawful use of that road by any citizen. 
Poisonous shrubs, wild cherry leaves, or 
twigs would come under this head the 
same as pieces of glass, thorns or tacks, 
which might Injure the foot of a horse or 
puncture the tire of a bicycle.
