FRESH FRUIT.—Arrivals of apples are 
light and prices generally firm. Florida 
strawberries are plenty, and sell slowly on 
account of the unfavorable weather. A 
New York Exchange price within 26-cent 
freight zone 2% cents per quart. 
BUTTER.—Price down one cent, and the 
recent reductions have caused quite an in¬ 
crease of demand. Prime table grades are 
scarce at present, but no Increase in price 
is anticipated.

The Philadelphia North American relates 
the following cure for hiccoughs: “The 
doctors tried ether and various other 
remedies without success. As a last re¬ 
sort they placed a piece of Ice on the 
patient’s abdomen when he did not expect 
it. The man was so frightened that he 
stopped hiccoughing at onc«. " 
BUSINESS BITS. 
Geo. Strong, of Smithtowii Branch, N. 
Y., says he is using a two-hoi‘se-power 
Mietz & Weiss kerosene engine for pump¬ 
ing water to a height of 90 feet, and can 
cut cabbage at the same time and have 
power to spare. Address A. Mietz, 128 Mott

W. J. Capron, V. S., writes to Lawrence- 
Williams Co., Cleveland, O., as follows: 
“I read your advertisement about Gom- 
bault’s Caustic Balsam and have tried it 
for the last year in a great many cases and 
found it perfect. Its use in my practice 
has become so much increased that 1 would 
like to know what you will charge me for 
it by the dozen.” 
We desire to say to people who contem¬ 
plate buying low-down steel wheels that 
the grooved-tire wheels, made by Havana 
Metal Wheel Co., Havana, 111., are giv¬ 
ing the very best satisfaction. They make 
the flat tires as well as the grooved, and 
know that the flat tires do not last as long 
or give as good satisfaction as the grooved- 
tire wheels. Get their prices when buying. 
We frequently have advertisements of 
the Animal World, which offer pets of all 
kinds free, and which have been cut from 
other papers, sent us with the request 
whether they are reliable. The publisher 
of this paper has been recently arrested 
and held in $2,500 bond to answer charges 
of fraud. We have never heard of anyone 
getting pels or anything else for money 
sent them. The previous good standing of 
the paper accounts for the advertisements 
appearing in some papers which do not 
knowingly accept such advertisements.

The Elkhart Carriage ami Harness Co., 
Elkhart, Iml., make claim to being the 
largest manufacturers of vehicles and har¬ 
ness in the world, selling to the consumer 
exclusively. Having decided long ago that 
the public would much prefer to deal direct 
with the manufacturer, the man who made 
the goods, if the people but could be con¬ 
vinced that they were getting the best 
goods at the lowest procurable price, the 
Elkhart people inaugurated their present 
system. The results of 28 years of experi¬ 
ence in carriage building are given in their 
free illustrated catalogue. 
“Soluble and Sure.” —Perhaps you never 
stopped to think what a bag of fertilizer 
represents. The deserts of South America 
provide nitrate of soda, the great city 
factory sulphate of ammonia, the animals 
that do our work or provide our meat give 
bone, blood and tankage; the mines of the 
South and of Germany give phosphoric acid 
and potash, while the ocean is scoured to 
furnish fish scrap. We hold a handful of 
the fertilizer, and realize how two conti¬ 
nents and a dozen localities are represent¬ 
ed. We are not speaking of a cheap and 
clumsy mixture of acid rock and kainit 
with a faint smell of tankage, but of high- 
grade complete goods such as are sold by 
the Bowker Fertilizer Co., of Boston, Mass. 
These fertilizers are said to be soluble and 
sure! Who say so? Farmers who have 
bought them for the past 30 years, and 
crops that have talked in that universal 
language—money, 'rhis is but the first 
chapter in the story. It is continued in the 
catalogue issued by the Bowker Company, 
and all should read it. 
Illinois Grass Notes.—I am entirely out 
of grass ground. For some reason for the 
last three years it has been impossible to 
get a catch from Spring-sown grass seed. 
I sowed twice with oats and failed; then 
at suggestion of a friend I tried barley, as 
it is said the oat stubble is likely to burn 
out the young grass during our usual hot 
dry weather in August and September, but 
I failed with that. One of my neighbors 
had the same trouble with Spring-sown 
seed; sowed in the Fall and has a fair 
stand. Possibly Fall-sown seed has a 
chance to get a firmer grip, so can with¬ 
stand a probable drought. Cow peas have 
proved a bonanza to those who have failed 
with grass. Have any of the dairymen 
found that cow peas fed to cows made the 
butter strong? a. m. c.
