THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER trade Is dull. Receipts of all 
but extras are large. There is but little 
call for June creamery, and the same is 
true of State dairy. Exporters are hand¬ 
ling a little factory at 13 cents or under. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Receipts are lib¬ 
eral and the demand slow. The only scar¬ 
city is in fancy chickens and small hen 
turkeys. The proportion of coarse chickens 
and ordinary fowls is large, and they are 
not wanted. The stock of capons is also 
large, and in light request at 13 cents for 
the top figure. 
FRUITS.—Apples are not selling very 
well, but holders of extra cold-storage 
goods express considerable confidence in 
the future of the market. Since the holi¬ 
day rush was over, cranberry trade has 
been dull. The Florida strawberries re¬ 
ceived are inferior, having a good many 
green spots, and the price has dropped to 
25 to 30 cents.

The smoke house always was a source of 
worriment, vexation and expense. When 
it catches fire let it go up in smoke. 
There’s a better way to smoke meats. That 
is by using Krauser’s Liquid Extract of 
Smoke. It is made from selected hickory 
wood. It is applied to meat with a brush 
or sponge. It contains the same ingredi¬ 
ents that preserve meat that is smoked in 
the old way. It gives meat a delicious, 
sweet flavor and gives perfect protection 
against insects and mold. It is cheaper and 
cleaner than the old way. Information 
concerning its use, cost, etc., can be had 
by writing to the makers, E. Krauser & 
Bro., Milton, Pa. 
The friends of the Page Woven Wire 
Pence Co., of Adrian, Mich., will learn with 
great satisfaction of the company’s being 
recapitalized at $1,000,000, every dollar paid 
in, and every share sold. The receivers 
have been discharged, and the company 
is again in possession of its entire property 
which includes the steel, rod and wire mills 
at Monessen, Pa., and its original Adrian 
plant. The management is not materially 
changed. The capacity for weaving fence 
will be quite largely increased, and the 
company hopes to be able to supply the 
Spring’s demand as fast as it is called for. 
It seems as though the farmers and stock- 
men were really standing by them In their 
endeavor to furnish a fence not made by a 
trust. 
A “Watch” Dog.—T he following story 
is told of a Brooklyn dog: The Rev. William 
Tappan, who conducts a mission in South 
Brooklyn, has an ugly bulldog named 
Watch which usually goes to church with 
his master and sits outside until the ser¬ 
vice is over. At Friday evening prayer 
meeting Mr. Tappan took for his text a 
portion of Scripture beginning with the 
word “Watch.” As he announced the text 
the dog pricked up its ears. At a second 
and emphatic repetition of the text the 
bulldog dashed up the aisle and springing 
into the pulpit, jumped all over his master, 
interrupting the sermon until the animal 
was led outside of the chapel and tied. 
College Agriculture.- In speaking of 
the advantages of the farmers’ short 
course at the Kansas College (Manhat¬ 
tan), these statements are made: 
“The college purchased half of a farm¬ 
er’s herd of hogs, taking a fair average of 
the lot. We fattened these hogs in 60 days, 
while the farmer, doing the best he could, 
marketed his in 110 days. We spent less 
for feed and had risk from disease for less 
than half the time. By feeding Alfalfa 
hay with grain to fattening hogs the col¬ 
lege secured 868 pounds of pork per ton of 
hay fed. It pays to know what type of 
animal gives best results for feed con¬ 
sumed. In 1898 a scrub cow of the dairy 
type gave the college milk worth $40.37 
above cost of the feed, while another 
scrub not of the dairy type yielded milk 
during the year worth $6.25 less than her 
feed.” 
Cow Pea.s in Oswego Co., N. Y.—We use 
the Black and Whippoorwill. The results 
were not all we could hope for, but I shall 
try them further next year. They have 
done best for us on loose open soil; on clay 
soils their grow'th has been very poor. Our 
climate is moist and cool during the grow¬ 
ing season, owing to lake influences—a con¬ 
dition probably not congenial to cow peas. 
A point against them as a cover crop for 
orchards is their tendency to go to pieces 
after frosts, and hence fail to give the soil 
the necessary protection against hard 
freezing. c. b. c. 
Michigan. 
R. N. Y.—By sowing the cow peas in 
drills we are able to sow rye in the Fall 
and thus secure a Winter covering. We 
have never recommended cow peas for rich 
land. They are best on light, open soils— 
the poorest parts of the farm. 
CATARRH CAN BE CURED. 
Caturrh is a kindred ailment of Consumption, 
long considered incurable ; and yet there is one 
remedy that will positively cure catarrh in any 
of its stages For many years this remedy was used 
by the late Dr. Stevens, a widely noted authority 
on all diseases of the throat and lungs. Having 
tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands 
of cases, and desiring to relieve human suffering. 
I will send free of charge to all sufferers from Ca¬ 
tarrh, Asthma,Consumption and nervous diseases,

directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail
