MARKETS 
Prices current at New York during week 
ending September 4 , 1908. 
Review of Week.—R eceipts of eggs 
light, and considerable storage stock Is 
working out at fair prices. Butter trade 
Quiet and market/ overstocked with all 
lower grades. Potato market weak, with a 
large proportion of ordinary stock in the 
receipts. Cauliflowers bringing high prices 
where of fair finality. Cabbage market 
somewhat improved. Not much change in 
the apple market, but business is quiet. 
Bartlett pears are plentiful, and as stock 
runs small and is ripening rapidly, sales 
are being forced at cut prices. Peach re¬ 
ceipts very large the latter part of the 
week and market overstocked. Hops very 
low. Conditions in dressed poultry are 
unfavorable. Receipts from the west run 
too poor to attract the better class of buy¬ 
ers. 
GRAIN.

KILLING LICE ON HOGS. 
We have a herd of from 200 to 250 
Berksbiros, divided into lots of from 30 
to 75, maintained on different farms, and 
the prevention of lice has in years past 
been no small proposition for us to con¬ 
tend with. We have a scheme now, which 
in its results Is more effective than any¬ 
thing we have yet tried, and we have 
used ronl tar products, kerosene emulsion, 
machine oil and many other things. We 
Imve wallows for our swine, which contain 
water to the depth of from a foot to two 
feet, maintained fresh, no stagnant wal¬ 
lows. We always put some lime In these 
pools. We buy crude oil. processed, by the 
barrel, which costs about 10 to 12 cents 
per gallon by the barrel. Once a week, 
when lice appear, we draw off three or 
four quarts of this processed oil and pour 
over the surface of this pool, upon which it 
immediately spreads and forms a coating. 
The bogs do not dislike this oil, and fre¬ 
quent the wallow just the same. When 
they emerge from the water a bit of this 
oil is deposited over the entire surface of 
(he hog, under the arm pits and In other 
places where the lice most frequent. It 
keeps the skin of the animal In good con¬ 
dition and kills (lie nits as well as the 
lice, something we have been able to ac¬ 
complish with no other remedy, we have 
taken hogs, which have come (o the farm, 
from other herds, pretty well infested with 
lice, and one voluntary bath In this solution 
has done (be business. A good way is to 
build a box of strong plank, near a pump 
so that It is bandy lo fill, bind the corners 
with old Iron hoops or aything else to 
reinforce It. Make the box large enough 
to accommodate one or more large bogs and 
about 18 inches deep. Keep this filled 
with fresh water; put a bit of lime Into it 
and with an occasional pall of oil over the 
top, no trouble will be had with lice and 
the bogs will be much better for the bath 
during the Summer season. Avoid stag¬ 
nant pools, but give them all the good 
clean water they want, both Inside and 
out - H. C. & II. B. HAItPENDINO.

Kili.ino Smut in Wheat. —Every year 
at wheat seeding time there are questions 
about treating seed wheat to destroy the 
germs of smut. These germs are on the 
grain, and may bo destroyed without hurt¬ 
ing the seed. The Ohio Experiment Sta¬ 
tion gives this method: Formalin, or 40 
per cent formaldehyde solution in water, 
may be obtained at most drug stores. Mix 
one pint or pound of this thoroughly in 40 
gallons of water; this makes the solution 
to use, and is enough to treat 50 bushels 
of seed wheat. For small amounts of seed 
use formalin and water in the same pro¬ 
portions. Four ounces formalin to 10 gal¬ 
lons of water will la* enough for 10 or 12 
bushels of seed. Place seed wheat to be 
treated on clean swept, tight floor in piles 
of convenient size lo be stirred through¬ 
out. Sprinkle the formalin solution from 
sprinkling can or nozzle upon the pile, with 
stirring to bottom of pile, until all pos¬ 
sible is absorbed. After a few minutes 
Interval, repeat (be operations of sprink¬ 
ling and stirring; those are again repeated 
until at least three quarts of solution per 
bushel of i/ruin has been absorbed. One 
pillion per bushel is not too much. The 
pile Is then covered with cloth or canvas 
for about two hours; tin* covering is then 
removed and the grain stirred at intervals 
by shoveling over to dry it. It is then 
ready to sow at any time.
