THE RURAL NEW-YORKEH 
April 29, 
PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE 
Is one day recently, 1,175,000 pounds of 
fish and 48,000 pounds -of lobsters were 
landed at the port of Boston. The lobsters 
came from Nova Scotia. 
At Duluth, Minn., the Government has 
extensive fish hatcheries. The output from 
these this Spring will be about 33,000,000 
young fry; 10.000,000 whitefish; 15,000 
pike, and 8,000,000 trout. 
Postal Savings Banks. —There are 48 of 
these institutions in the United States at 
present, and on April 1 8201,901, in 4,307 
accounts, were on deposit in these banks. 
The most extensive patronage was in the 
West, though in one Massachusetts town of 
7,000 inhabitants, 250 accounts were regis¬ 
tered. 
Paper currency to the value of about $3,- 
000,000 was sent from the New York Sub- 
Treasury to Washington for redemption on 
April 17. This was torn or badly worn 
and sulk'd money. This is but a small 
fraction of the disgracefully dirty paper 
money (truly ‘'filthy lucre”) in circulation 
throughout the country. Two special 
reasons why these dirty bills should be 
redeemed are that they are carriers of 
disease and that they help counterfeiters, 
as they are able to work off poor imitations 
by making them look worn and soiled. 
Old money sent to the Treasury Depart¬ 
ment, Washington, D. C., will be redeemed 
without charge in cases where the holders 
are not located where the change can be 
made conveniently at banks. 
Slack Pork Business. —The year ending 
March 31 showed a decided falling off in 
pork trade, the total decrease being nearly 
2,400,000 hogs. 
Live Poultry Dealers.—“I wish to get 
the names of some wholesale live poultry 
dealers who handle poultry as per quota¬ 
tions in the R. N.-Y. G. a. 
Connecticut. 
The names of several concerns that are 
considered reliable have been sent the in¬ 
quirer, but we cannot guarantee that any 
of them will buy or sell at the prices 
named. Effort is made to give figures rep¬ 
resentative of actual sales at the time, but 
there is perhaps no other element in the 
produce trade about which there is so much 
uncertainty. Prices may run along without 
much change for several weeks, and then 
rapid and violent changes may occur, so 
that one day’s figures may be of no account 
the next day. The buyers and sellers are 
frequently so much at odds regarding prices 
that a day or two is spent in hanging back 
and shopping around before either., -'vboth 
will make the concessions necessary'Yo do 
business. Of course, this method of making 
prices is not confined to the live poultry 
trade. Dealers in potatoes, apples and other 
produce often have more or less of a 
"talkfest” on hand before sales can be 
made, and here is where experience and 
knowledge of human nature counts. The 
dealer who is best informed on general 
market conditions and able to size up_ his 
customer's limits gets the highest prices. 
It is a delicate matter to know just when 
to let a possible customer go and when to 
make concessions to him. Some dealers 
have the practice of making a sale anyway, 
even though at a price below their judg¬ 
ment as to values. This keeps the goods 
moving, and on an average is perhaps bet¬ 
ter than the opposite plan. w. w. H.

ff A Roof of Slate Never ^ 
Attracts Lightning 
Think of the risks—the fire losses— 
endangerments of life, stock and property 
that a roof of slate on your home, barn or 
out-bnildlngs will forever eliminate. 
Think of having a roof that lightning, sun, 
fire, water, snow, ice, or the action of air cannot 
affect—that cannot warp, crack, rust or decay. 
Think of having a roof of natural rock, that 
is solid, enduring, ornamental; that lowers fire 
insurance premiums; increases property valua¬ 
tions; betters the appearance of any building it 
covers and never wears out, and you must 
think of— 
Sea Green and Purple 
Roofing Slate 
The one roofing by which all patent or artifi¬ 
cial roofing preparations are compared—by which 
the test of service and satisfaction of any roof¬ 
ing material is judged— is Sea Green and 
Purple Slate. 
Don’t allow the misleading low first cost of 
these cheap roofings to prevent you from having a 
roof that lasts forever— that will never need 
repairing. Specify Slate and settle your roofing 
problem for the balance of your life.

The DAIN Vertical 
Lift Mower 
leads all others. It’s easy on the 
horses, convenient to handle, and so 
strongly made that it will be doing 
duty years after other mowers have 
gone to the scrap heap. 
Its Compensating Gears and Cutter 
Bar Realigning Device are successful 
examples of the wonderful inventive 
genius of Mr. Joseph Dain. The gears 
are so mounted In relation to each 
other that perfect balance and true 
mesh are permanently insured and 
the crank shaft is relieved of all end 
thrust, preventing lost motion, re¬ 
ducing draft and mutiplying cutting 
power. That is why the Dain Mower 
runs lightly and cuts wliereothers fail. 
Other points of superiority are: Ad¬ 
justable Draft Hitch; Automatic Clutch 
Shifter; Long Pitman and extra large 
Knife Head. 
The Vertical Li ft Is bo handy to operate a boy 
can raise the cutter bar with ease. It Is the 
only mower you can realign, yourself, right In 
the field with your wrench. This practical 
adjustment for maintaining the cutter bar in 
line with tKS pitman, means added efficiency 
and years of extra service. 
The Pain is the mower that will give you 
complete satisfaction.

about this greatest of all Mowers, and about
