THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
2l7 
PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
Potatoes. —The market Is asain weak and 
prices of eat Ins stock lower. This drop does 
not affect seed potatoes, which at this sea¬ 
son usually sell 50 cents or more per barrel 
above the general run, an addition that is 
not unreasonable when the extra precau¬ 
tions necessary for the proper care of seed 
are considered. The potato crop has been 
a disappointment to many farmers, and as a 
rule those who sold early made most. 
Maimiow Beans. — “I see Marrow beans in 
market quotations, but do not find them in 
seedsmen’s catalogues, and dealers here do 
not know them.” reader, 
Maryland. 
This is the common “white” bean of com¬ 
merce. Dealers in field seeds list it as Mar¬ 
row, Boston Marrow or Navy, and some have 
developed special strains to which they have 
given names of their own. The Marrow bean 
is not so long as the kidney beans but thicker 
in the center. It grows in bush form, though 
many plants send out long shoots. 
A LARUE wholesale fish company in this 
city has for several mouths been bringing 
live carp in aerated tanks from Illinois and 
neighboring States, selling to the East Side 
trade at two or three times the prices form¬ 
erly obtained for the frozen carp. This fish 
has become a nuisance in many western 
rivers, lining a hoggish feeder arid increas¬ 
ing so rapidly as to crowd out the more 
desirable fish. The live carp are sold to re¬ 
tailers who have tanks In their shops, but 
this fish will stand without injury almost as 
much handling as a cat. 
Name ok Address Missing. —My atten¬ 
tion was just called to a number of account 
sales which a commission merchant is un¬ 
able to deliver because of faulty address. 
In some cases the sender of the letter of ad¬ 
vice forgets to sign his name. In others 
no post office is given and the letter lias 
been dropped into a railway mail box. so 
that the postmark gives no clue except that 
the letter was picked up somewhere along 
the line of that road. Every letter ought to 
contain the name and home post office, no 
matter whether it is written from some 
other place. If freight and express agents 
always filled out the blanks in their bills 
and receipts properly there would be less 
trouble in tracing up the shippers, but they 
get “rushed” and the shipment goes ‘‘in any 
old way.” The dealer mentioned above has 
just received two lambs without any identi¬ 
fying marks, and the data from the express 
company so faulty as to be of no value. The 
lambs will be sold, but the man will not get 
his money until he makes a kick about it. 
IIow to Dress Capons For This Mar¬ 
ket. —A first class poultry dealer here gives 
the following directions for preparing ca¬ 
pons for New York trade: “Be sure that 
they are fat. A thin capon is not so good as 
an ordinary chicken, because if not large 
or a proper capon they are not wanted as 
capons or chickens either. Do not kill them 
until crops are empty. Leave feathers on 
meek from head down two-thirds way to 
shoulders. Leave feathers on two Joints of 
wings. Leave feathers on tail and half way 
up the back. Leave feathers on legs from 
knee joint two-thirds up the hips. All the 
rest of the feathers come off. Keep the 
capon clean. Wrap paper around the head. 
Appearance adds to tin* selling price.” 
Misleading information has been spread 
regarding the immense profits from capons. 
The result is that inexperienced persons have 
sent inferior capons here and been much 
disappointed in the returns. The business 
is as much a specialty as hothouse lamb 
trade. A lamb must be just right as to 
weight, age and appearance to bring top 
prices, and a bird that is not a proper capon, 
is thin or not correctly dressed may sell 
even lower than a fair to good chicken.

GOOD ADVICE ABOUT 
CREAM SEPAR ATORS 
Announcement of the Alpena Farm Produce Co. in 
the Alpena, Mich., Argus, Feb. 13, 1907. 
“ In reply to inquiries we wish to repeat that the Alpena 
Farm Produce Co. will not buy cream that is not separated by a 
cream separator, for the reason they must have pure, clean cream 
which can be obtained in no other manner. Therefore every 
patron of the company must have a separator, and, if you have 
not already procured one, you had better see about it in the very 
near future. The Produce Co. is very emphatic in its assertion 
that it does not matter what kind of separator is used, so long as 
it is a good standard make. J)o not buy ‘cheap’ separators first 
because some ‘ mail order ’ house catalogue says it is the best in 
the world. The fact is that ‘cheap’ separators are always the 
dearest in the end. In the first place they do not skim as closely, 
and in the next place they will not stand the test of years. If 
you have a ‘ cheap ’ separator, not a standard make, you must 
not complain if you do not make as much money from your cows 
as you thought you would. The Produce Co. is handling the 
DE LAVAL separator because they can safely recommend it as 
an absolutely reliable machine. If that machine does not prove 
satisfactory the trouble must then be with the manner in which 
you care for and feed your cows. Be sure you start with a 
good machine.” 
The big creamery concerns which look the country and 
the world ever in reaching separator conclusions are almost 
invariably users and endorsers of the DE LAVAL machines. 
Their example and advice is the kind that the inexperienced 
buyer may safely and wisely follow.
