1896 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Bananas are coming in in large quantities. 
Dried fruits are dull almost without exception. 
Pork is somewhat lower under heavier arrivals. 
A few cranberries have been imported from 
Europe. 
Sales of cheese for export to Genoa, Italy, are 
reported. 
Choice refrigerator eggs are preferred to limed, 
no matter how good the quality of the latter. 
Live poultry should reach this market not later 
than Wednesday. 
Bunch beets are coming in now from Charles¬ 
ton, and sell well. 
Considerable quantities of Bermuda vegetables 
are now arriving. 
Trade in hops is practically at a standstill, with 
no immediate prospect of improvement. 
The cheese market is very quiet at present, but 
is expected to show more activity later on. 
About the only kinds of beans in which there is 
any activity, are Yellow Eye and Turtle Soup. 
Beeswax is firm at 31 to 32 cents per pound for 
pure. The supply and demand are both light. 
The United Kingdom of Great Britain imported 
from the United States during the year ending 
September 30, 141,194 tons of hay. 
The markets are generally dull for a few days 
after a holiday. Buyers are mostly recovering 
from the lavish purchases of previous days. 
The roll butter received in this market is a 
mixed lot. It usually comes from the country 
stores, packed in barrels, each roll wrapped in 
cloth. 
Turkey feathers, to be salable, must be nicely 
tied in bundles, wing and tail feathers separate. 
There is little sale for the body feathers at any 
price. 
Prime maple sugar is scarce at 12 to 12*4 cents 
per pound. There is but little syrup in market, 
and quotations are nominal at 75 to 90 cents per 
gallon. 
Notwithstanding the large supply and low 
price of native cabbage, there is a demand for 
that from Europe which has already begun to 
arrive. 
A small quantity of very fine cauliflower, the 
first from this source this season, came in from 
New Orleans early in the week, and sold for a 
high price. 
It is reported that Italian oranges will be 
shipped to this country in large quantities this 
wiuter. Shipments are beginning earlier than 
common, too. 
The first arrivals of Bermuda potatoes sold well 
considering the heavy supplies of native potatoes. 
Tiie best sold for $5 to $7 per barrel, while No. 2’s 
went for $2 to S3 per barrel. 
Best grades of butter have dropped about three 
cents per pound. Trade is dull following the 
Christmas holidays. Arrivals have been liberal 
for the season, but there is no large accumula¬ 
tion of the best grades. 
The Fish, Game and Forest Commission esti¬ 
mate that there are about 3,000 deer in the Adiron- 
dacks. Advices from four-fifths of their corre¬ 
spondents in that region report that 3,551 head of 
deer were killed there during the current season. 
The manager of a restaurant in Philadelphia 
was recently fined $100 for violating the butterine 
law. The statutes require that every restaurant 
hotel keeper shall stamp the words “oleo¬ 
margarine” or “ impure butter ” on each vessel 
in which the oleomargarine is served to the 
guests. 
The annual meeting of the American Oxford 
Down Sheep Record Association will be held at 
Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday evening, January 14. 
The election of officers, arrangement of special 
prize list for 1896, and other business of import¬ 
ance to members of the association, and to ex¬ 
hibitors and breeders of Oxford Downs, will come 
before the meeting. W. A. Shafor, Middletown, 
secretary. 
The New York Produce Review says that, in 
1880, the United States exported cheese to the 
value of $12,170,000. In 1894, the United States ex¬ 
ported cheese to the value of $7,180,000, a decrease 
in exports in 14 years of 40 per cent. In 1880, Can¬ 
ada exported cheese to the value of $3,900,000. In 
1894, Canada exported cheese to the value of 
$15,500,000, an increase in 14 years of nearly 400 
per cent. In Canada, the manufacture of tiffed 
and skimmed cheese is prohibited by law, backed 
up by strong public sentiment. 
The Illinois corn crop this year more than makes 
up for the deficiency in wheat. The State Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture says that on the reported 
area of 6,925,000 acres, 267,425,000 bushels were 
produced, an average of 39 bushels per acre. Both 
the largest area and yield were in the northern 
division of the State, 126,870,000 bushels being 
raised on 3,042,000 acres, or 41 bushels per acre; 
in central Illinois, 2,850,000 acres produced 111,- 
546,000 bushels, or 39 bushels per acre; while on 
an area of 1,032,000 acres, southern Illinois pro¬ 
duced but 30,101,000 bushels, an average of but 
29 bushels per acre. The large yield lowered the 
price of corn, which averaged but 21 cents per 
bushel on December 1 , and was very uniform 
throughout the State. Had the entire crop been 
sold at this price, the producers would have re¬ 
ceived $57,740,000. 
CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE. 
Some Kansas Potato Notes. —I have been 25 
years experimenting and learning just how to 
manage my soil in raising potatoes. The average 
writer will invariably say that the best land for 
potatoes is a sandy loam. I never had any sandy 
loam on my farm. Again, they all tell us that 
fresh manure, freshly applied, is worse than use¬ 
less—positively a hindrance. My soil is an 
alluvial mold 20 inches in depth, underlaid with 
a water-tight clay. This is far from the ideal 
potato soil, but by subsoiling with the uew pro¬ 
cess jilov, I discovered that I gave the soil the 
nature of sandy loam. The subsoiling made it 
loose, mellow and friable, but it lacked the sand 
to add the warmth. I tried extremely heavy 
manuring with fresh, strawy stable manure, and 
learned that the straw in its heating and ferment¬ 
ing, in its holding the soil open, and in other 
ways, gave my land the same nature that the 
sand does to sandy loam. Mauy have written me 
that they cannot raise potatoes on their sandy 
loam until the second year after aj>plying fresh, 
strawy manure ; and wonder how I can raise a 
crop on freshly manured land, without the pota¬ 
toes running all to tops aud no bottoms. 
One must know his own soil, and not rush 
blindly to follow the plan laid down by any one 
man. It takes the subsoiling on my laud, to 
make sure of enough moisture to counteract any 
evil effects from the strawy horse manure ; and 
I would not advise any ore to try heavy manur¬ 
ing in this climate, without subsoiling, providing 
the land is underlaid with hard clay. The Early 
Rose potato will run all to tops on my soil, under 
my system of forcing, but the Early Ohio, Early 
Kansas, Early Morn, Bliss’s Triumph, and Car¬ 
man No. 1 will stand all the forcing that can be 
given them—providing they are planted thick 
enough. The Early Ohio can be cut to one eye, 
planted one piece in a hill, with the hills only one 
foot apart, and the rows only one foot apart, 
thus putting four rows where usually only 
one is put ; but it takes from 30 to 45 bushels 
of seed per acre, .and all cultivation must cease 
with the weeder. The Early Kansas and Carman 
No. 1 must be cut to one eye, one eye in a hill, 
hills 14 inches apart in the rows, and the rows 28 
inches apart, and it takes 16 bushels of seed per 
acre, and all cultivation must be not over one 
inch in depth, and very frequent, also. This 
seems like a waste of seed, but as one acre can 
be made to produce as much as three common 
ones, it is really a saving. 
I use a weeder of my own make, quite similar 
to the Breed’s, and do all cultivating with the 
Planet Jr. 12-tooth cultivator and pulverizer. 
Hereafter I shall always sow German millet at 
the time I lay the crop by, which is about July 1 
here. The millet will prove a help, instead of 
a hindrance, as it shades the crop after the vines 
die, and keeps our wet, hot Septembers from 
spoiling and sprouting the potatoes, as we cannot 
dig here till October or November, on accouut of 
lack of proper storage rooms in so hot a climate. 
I have discovered that heavy manuring with 
stable manure does not cause or assist scab; on 
the contrary, the natural quick growth prevents 
it. One more point: Eastern writers always harp 
on throwing away the seed end of the potato. It 
is my opinion that the seed end is the most valu¬ 
able of all to plant. Did you ever dig potatoes 
that had sprouted ? If so, wasn’t the seed end 
the one that had sprouted? Have you ever no¬ 
ticed potatoes with one large sprout in the bin ? 
If so, wasn’t it the seed-end sprout ? Yes, it was, 
and this proves that this eye is the most vigorous 
of all, aud will be the first to come up and the one 
that produces the large stalk that always has 
the large tubers and in the identical hills that 
Eastern writers advise us to stake for seed. An¬ 
other thing: There is no danger of 12 hours’ soak¬ 
ing of seed in corrosive sublimate solution hurt¬ 
ing them; on the contrary, such seed will come 
up quicker than seed .not soaked, or seed soaked 
the regulation 20 minutes. c. j. n.
