January 2fi 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
JiGGS are down three cents from last re¬ 
port, but with a brisk demand and advices 
of light receipts on the way, the market 
is firm. 
POTATOES.—Trade is poor all around, 
and the market has a surplus of low-grade 
stock, which has to go for $1.50 or less. 
Prices on the better qualities are firm. 
Sweets and Bermudas are dull. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Receipts continue 
large, and dealers are complaining of dull 
trade, particularly on turkeys and fowls. 
Choice chickens are iirm, a good many of 
the packages of poultiy now coming in are 
showing the effects of the recent warm 
weather, and have to be disposed of at 
once. 
GRAIN.—Wheat has dropped three cents. 
The crop in Argentina is estimated at 105,- 
000,000 bushels, and this will allow a surplus 
for export of anywhere from 50,000,000 to 
70,000,000 bushels. Corn is weak. There is 
not much activity in the oat market here, 
but light stocks in western markets 
brought up the price a trifle. Rye and bar¬ 
ley are dull. _

E. B. WooDw^ARD, 302 Greenwich street. 
New York, furnishes game associations 
with live quails and rabbits for breeding 
purposes. He has orders from State game 
commissions for a large number of live 
rabbits. Any who can supply them should

The Cahoon broadcast seeder has been 
before the farming public so long that 
many of our readers are familiar with its 
good points. It sows from six to eight 
acres an hour, and distributes the seed so 
evenly that one could say It saves its cost 
every hour. Write to Goodell Co., 14 Main 
St., Antrim, N. H., for full information. 
A FIRST-CLASS poultry supply store has 
been established at 38 Vesey Street, New 
York. It is under the management of 
Adin G. Pierce, the well-known expert in¬ 
cubator operator and poultryman. The new 
store is owned by The Star Incubator Co., 
of Bound Brook, N. J., and carries a full 
line of Star incubators and brooders, Lin¬ 
coln flint-coated roofing, Franklin lice 
killer. Star Specifics, bone-cutters, etc. 
Anyone Interested in quick and econ¬ 
omical farm and garden work should 
obtain a copy of the Iron Age Book for 
1901 by writing to the Bateman Mfg. Co., 
Box 102, Grenloch, N. J. Improvements 
are shown in this catalogue in the well 
known standard line of ‘‘Iron Age” imple¬ 
ments, and a number of new tools are in¬ 
troduced, including a combined pivot and 
fixed wheel riding cultivator, a combined 
fertilizer distributor and seed drill and a 
combined single wheel hoe and seed drill. 
Among the many good machines now on 
the market for grinding grain for stock 
purposes, we know of none which stands 
out more prominently than the Improved 
Quaker City grinding mill. It is manu¬ 
factured by A. W. Straub & Co., of Phila¬ 
delphia, Pa., and is handled in the West 
by The A. W. Straub Co., of Chicago, lil. 
The mills crush and grind ear corn alone, 
or mix other grain with it at the same 
time The reader will observe the double 
hoppers, and this is the object of their use. 
The reduction is very gradual, easy and 
thorough. Small-grain hopper is equipped 
with automatic Shaker feed, which insures 
evenness of the resulting meal or feed. 
They are easy to adjust and regulate, and 
in grinding shelled corn alone can be set 
so as to produce the finest family meal. 
Write to the nearest office for catalogue, 
circulars, prices, etc.

Gasoline Engine.— For the past two 
years we have used a gasoline engine; It 
thrashes, shreds corn fodder, cuts and 
grinds feed of all kinds; in short, is used 
for any purpose where power is required. 
It is perfectly safe, no danger from fir* 
and requires but little attention. Our en¬ 
gine is 4% horse-power, but would recom¬ 
mend more power, whether wanted or not.

An Illinois farmer said that aft¬ 
er harvest he had fully 200 bush¬ 
els of loose oats on the ground 
that he could not secure any ben¬ 
efit from, because the fence 
around the field would not turn 
hogs. Figure the loss for yourself. 
He also said, all this would have 
been saved if he bad used the 
Kitselman Woven Wire Coiled 
Spring Fence, and the value 
would have gone a long ways 
towards paying cost of the fence. 
With the Duplex Machine 
any farmer can make it himself 
at the actual cost of the wire.
