PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
Potatoes. —Old stock is still for sale but 
the demand is weak aud market dull. New 
potatoes from the South are selling well at 
prices about on a par with last year, $2.25 
to $3 per barrel for good stock. 
Gkekn Vegetables. —Jersey string beans 
and peas are arriving and selling well. 
Supplies from the South are more or less 
out of condition and going at low prices, 
in some cases 15 cents per bushel. What 
choice cabbage there is brings upward of 
75 cents per barrel, common down to 25 
cents. The supply of cucumbers very much 
in excess of demand aud only the choicest 
selling at paying prices. 
Gooseberries for Market. —*‘What is 
the best variety of gooseberry to raise for 
New York market?” c. w. 
New York. 
Downing and Houghton are kinds very 
largely grown and may be considered stan¬ 
dard market varieties. Gooseberries are not 
a very popular fruit here and should not 
be produced with the idea of shipping large 
quantities to New York. In Europe they 
are used largely as a dessert fruit and are 
sold ripe, but they are practically never 
seen in New York except in the green state 
when fit only for cooking. During goose¬ 
berry season the market is monopolized by 
strawberries and other showy small fruits. 
Tomatoes from Florida and Mississippi 
are in liberal supply. The regular six-bas¬ 
ket peach crate is used for the Florida 
tomatoes. In Mississippi a flat oblong case 
holding four three-quart baskets is largely 
used. These cases have wholesaled in New 
York at 50 cents or under and the peach 
carriers under $1 during the past week. 
The set of tomato plants in north Jersey 
lias been considerably damaged by potato 
beetles, cutworms and cold nights. In 
seine eases cutworms mowed the plants 
down by the thousand, while the beetles 
camped out on any that remained and 
trimmed them. By baud picking some 
plants were saved, and the vacancies af¬ 
terward filled with late plants, the fruit 
of which will have to be picked green and 
ripened in frames. One man suffered a 
severe loss through a misuse of nitrate of 
soda. He put a little of this chemical in 
the bill when setting 10,000 plants, and of 
course the tomatoes died in a short time. 
It was the farmer’s first experience with ni¬ 
trate and an exceedingly expensive lesson. 
Doubtless the people who sold him the 
chemical took it for granted that he 
knew how to use it. Had this nitrate been 
put on top the ground around the ptants 
so that the raw chemical did not touch the 
stems or come into direct contact with the 
roots the tomatoes wonld now be jumping 
instead of being a dead loss. 
Milk Pimcer.— “Are the consumers in 
New York City buying their milk at the 
present time for one cent per quart less 
than they paid last January for it? The 
producers are receiving 2% cents per quart 
now for milk, and last January they re¬ 
received four cents. The same number of 
cans of milk were received in the city the 
second week in April as the second week in 
January bnt still the price had gone off one 
cent. Who is getting the benefit of the 
reduction?” e. s. 
Delaware Co., N. l r . 
A good many bakers and small grocers 
sell milk at about cost in Summer to draw 
trade, and in this way some consumers do 
get part of the benefit of cut prices. I have 
seen milk thus dipped from cans and sold 
at five cents, occasionally at four. Of 
course it was low-grade milk, more or less 
watered. Some milk retailers in the high¬ 
er grades of trade make reduced prices for 
Summer, but as a rule the price is uniform 
the year around, the greater profits of 
Summer helping the lesser average of Win¬ 
ter. The price of seven to nine cents covers 
a great quantity of retail milk. "Certi¬ 
fied,” “Guaranteed” and other special milk 
runs from 10 cents up to 20. Since the in¬ 
quirer asked this question the Exchange 
has reduced the price one-half cent to 2V t 
cents, so the difference between what the 
farmer gpts and the average consumer pays 
is now still greater. The wholesale and 
retail handlers in the city have a profit 
of four to five cents per quart to divide 
up. Of course delivery expenses in the 
city are heavy, and there are some bad 
debts, which cut into the profits.

RABBIT EXTERMINATION IN AUSTRALIA. 
The Melbourne Leader, in a description 
of Bolinda-Vale, a great estate or ranch 
within 30 miles of Melbourne, says that 
like all other large estates in Victoria, if 
rabbit suppression were suspended for two 
or three years, it would he unable to carry 
any stock. Incessant war has to be waged 
against rabbits to keep them under. A 
day on Bolinda-Vale with the manager, Mr. 
Robert Clark, affords evidence of the heavy 
cost of rabbit suppression to landowners. 
They have been at work on Bolinda-Vale 
continuously for 30 years. Thirty-five men 
and 40 horses are continuously employed in 
it. Poisoning, digging out the burrows, 
fumigation, trapping, ferreting and hunting 
with packs of dogs, are all methods which 
are successfully employed. The substances 
employed in fumigation are bisulphide of 
carbon, charcoal and sulphur. The fumes 
of each of these are forced into a burrow 
by a blast from the fumigator. All the 
holes are stopped up, and the rabbits in 
the burrows are smothered with the fumes. 
Digging out the burrows and destroying 
cover is an excellent way of keeping down 
the rabbit pest. Good work is done on 
Bolinda-Vale with packs of dogs. Ten to 
12 dogs—all kinds, greyhounds, fox terriers, 
pointers and crossbreds form a pack. The 
packs are taken out daily by men on horse¬ 
back. Each pack accounts for an average 
of about 50 rabbits per day.: sometimes the 
number runs up to 100 or 150. A lad with 
two or three ferrets, a dozen nets, and a 
good dog, will get two to three dozen rab¬ 
bits a day. The trappers attend to 50 
or 60 traps each. Many of them who un¬ 
derstand the business make good wages. 
Sow Eating Chickens. —I had this 
trouble last year: I got some old bones 
from the butcher and she ground them up 
and ate them, and that was the end. This 
year I have seen chickens jump around on 
her, hut I have not seen an attempt to 
catch one, and she has 11 nice pigs with 
her now. The same time last Spring she 
had 11, and otherwise gentle. I believe in 
giving such a sow all the bones she will 
eat. h. a. k.
