MARKETS. 
BEVEEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER is down one cent from last 
week, and business Is dull for everything 
except the choice grrades. There is a sur¬ 
plus of ordinary stock, which in some cases 
is being offered at cut prices. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is 1% cent above last re¬ 
port on account of Hessian fly damage 
and unfavorable news from the South 
American wheat belt. Corn is also a trifle 
higher. The rains and muddy roads in the 
corn States hinder the movement of the 
crop to market. Oats are Arm, and the 
stocks in hand light. Trade in rye and 
barley is dull.

HOTHOUSE PRODUCTS. — Mushroom 
trade is dull, there being but little call for 
anything but the better grades. Western 
rhubarb and asparagus are doing very 
well. Few of the cucumbers received are 
good enough to reach top prices. Lettuce 
is also inferior. As a general rule hot¬ 
house products of low grades will scarcely 
pay for shipment.

Morrill & Morley advise fruit growers 
not to experiment with spray pumps. Both 
these men are large fruit growers and have 
done the experimenting for you on their 
own orchards. Write to Morrill & Morley, 
Benton Harbor, Mich., and learn about the 
Eclipse spray pump. 
We have had many letters from sub¬ 
scribers asking where they could buy the 
kerowater sprayer so often spoken of in 
The R. N.-Y. We now refer all interested 
to our advertising columns, which contain 
an announcement of the manufacturer. The 
Gould Mfg. Co., Seneca Falls, N. Y. 
Many of the faults of driving horses are 
due to improper bits. A harsh bit in a 
tender mouth will impel the animal to do 
all sorts of antics, and many make the 
mistake of putting a harsh bit in the 
mouth of a hard-headed horse. The Im¬ 
perial bit will control the most vicious 
horse with ease, and at the same time 
will not Injure the most tender mouth.

Inform yourself as to the needs and re¬ 
quirements of your fowls; read “How to

Co., Box 20, Syracuse, New York. This val¬ 
uable book is sent free of charge to all who 
apply for it, and the Information therein 
is founded upon the experience of some of 
the best and most successful poultrymen 
of the day. Much information is given as 
to the value of green cut bone and the best 
manner of preparing it with a Stearns 
bone cutter. 
The most approved method of marking 
cattle, sheep and swine for positive Identl- 
flcation is by use of Dana’s white metallic 
ear labels, as years of successful use by 
thousands of the best breeders and farm¬ 
ers and over 40 recording associations has 
thoroughly proven. The owner’s name or 
address and consecutive numbers appear 
on the Dana labels; their application is 
easy, their permanence assured. For sam¬ 
ple or agency write to C. H. Dana, West

Information Is wanted about hand hay 
pressing. During the late war I bought 
and had pressed with hand presses (and 
horse) several hundred tons, sold to the 
Government We would get from three to 
flve tons pressed a day, according to the 
men working. Good hand presses can do a 
very good job. If the hay is in bams or 
sheds it can be pressed at odd times. 
Marietta, O. 8. s. t. 
The price of cows to come fresh between 
now and April 1 is about |30 for fairly good 
animals, and from that up. There have 
been a good many culls sold cheap, but 
good ones have brought good prices. I 
was raised on a farm and have been farm¬ 
ing for myself more than 60 years, and 
have never seen so continuous a drought 
during a whole growing season as the one 
just passed. The first real wetting to start 
springs and streams was about December 
1. In some localities only a few miles away 
conditions have been very much better. 
E. Masonville, N. Y. w. i. b. 
Skim-Milk Calves.— A writer in the Pa¬ 
cific Rural Press praises the Holstelns for 
feeding calves. He says: “A short time ago 
I sold a grade Durham and Holstein calf 
(sire a purebred Holstein), raised on skim- 
milk and a little oil meal, which brought 
me $9.60 at 8% cents per pound when six 
weeks old. I tried to repeat the experi¬ 
ment with a better-bred Jersey calf, and 
did well to have it come out alive. That 
is where the virtues of the Holstein come 
in play. They are docile and easily 
handled good feeders, and lack the dainti¬ 
ness and nervousness of the Jerseys; they 
respond wonderfully to good treatment.”

Asthma Can Be Cured. 
statement of a Noted Physician. 
The astonishing statement that Asthma 
can be cured, coming from so well-know'n 
an authority as Dr. Ktidolph iSchiffmann, 
will be of interest to sufferers from 
Asthma, Phthisic and Hay Fever. The 
Doctor’s offer, coming as it does from a 
recognized authority, who during a prac¬ 
tice of over 30 years has treated and cured 
more cases of Asthma and its kindred 
than any living doctor, is certainly a gen¬ 
erous one and an innovation in this age of 
countless fraudulent nostrums. Believing 
that the honest way to .sell a remedy is to 
let those who would buy convince them¬ 
selves of its merits before purchasing. Dr 
Schiffmann has authorized this paper to 
say that he will send a free trial package 
of his remedy, “Schiffmann’s Asthma 
Cure,”to any sufferer who sends his name 
on a postal card before March 10th. This 
remedy has cured thousands of eases that 
were considered incurable. Being used by 
inhalation it reaches the seat of the dis¬ 
ease direct, stops the spasms instantly 
and insures sweet and refreshing sleep. A 
free trial package will convince the most 
skeptical. Those desiring to try a free 
sample should address Dr.R.Schiffmann,
