Avoca, N. Y. 
Auction sales run about as follows: 
Good horses, $150 to $250 each ; common, 
$50 to $100; fresh cows, $50 to $60, while 
springers bring from $25 to $35 per head ; 
hogs, heavy, six to seven cents per pound,

a pound dressed; 12 cents live; eggs, 36 
cents per dozen ; butter, 30 cents a pound ; 
liay, best,'$20 a ton; common, $12 to $15

manure sold, but what is sold brings $1.25

cents per quart at station. Grains are 
selling at Ca.lifon mills, wheat. 95 cents a 
bushel; oats. 50 cents a bushel; corn, 85 
cents per 100 pounds; rye, 90 cents per 
bushel: buckwheat all sold. Farms are 
«banging hands quite often at higher figures 
than ever before; one man bought three 
years ago for $3,000 and sold now for 
$5,000. while another bought last Spring 
for $3600 and sold this Winter for $4500, 
both in Pleasant Valley near a peach king. 
Hunterdon, Co., N. J. w. a. 
There are but a very few 1 auction sales 
here, and when there is one it is to dispose 
of animals that have passed their best days. 
Such cows are worth $10 to $15, but a fair 
fresh milker .is worth from $50 to $75. A 
fair cow that will freshen in Spring is 
worth $35 to $50. Hay f. o. b. Dolgoville, 
$17 to $18 per ton. There is lots of silage 
here, hut I never heard of any being sold ; 
we consider it worth about $5 per ton. 
Farmers never sell any manure here, but 
they buy it in the village at 50 cents per 
alod. Potatoes are worth $1.10 to $1.15 
per bushel; eggs, 40 cents; butter, 34 
cents; milk, four cents per quart whole¬ 
sale. ’ Eggs, 45 cents; butter, 38 cents: 
milk, six cents a quart, retail. Horses, 
fair, worth $200 to $250. Pork from $8.50 
to $9 per 100 pounds; veal, from 11 to 12 
cents per pound; lambs, from $5 to $6 per 
head; sheep, from $2.50 to $3.50 .per head. 
Dolgeville, N. h. m. b. 
Farm implements, harness, etc., generally 
are slow' sale at auction and bring low 
prices, ranging from perhaps one-third 
original cost if in good condition, to al¬ 
most nothing if old and worn. Hogs have 
sold well for five to seven cents per pound 
for butchering stock and $15 to $30 per 
head for breeding stock. Not many good 
dairy cattle in this section of Illinois, beef 
breeds being generally kept. Not many 
cattle fed here, farmers generally keeping 
only enough cows to supply their own needs 
and perhaps a little surplus butter to trade 
for groceries. Cows have been selling from 
$50 to $80. I started in the dairy business 
three years ago and have bought most of 
my cows and have only two for which _I 
paid less than $50. I have a. herd of 15, 
but no first-class dairy cows, only such as 
I could buy, but I have a Guernsey sire 
and am gradually working into that breed 
of dairy cattle. This section of Illinois is 
In the heart of the grain belt and little at¬ 
tention is paid to dairying or stock raising. 
Most farmers raise corn and oats in rota¬ 
tion with clover, and some are beginning to 
use rock phosphate. Land values range from 
$150 to $200 per acre, and at that price is 
considered too valuable to keep much pas¬ 
ture or meadow. Not enough hay is raised 
for home consumption, corn stover and 
oat straw being substituted. Clover hay 
sells from $15 to $18; Timothy, about $20 
to $22, and Alfalfa about $24. Only a few 
raising Alfalfa at present. There is only 
one silo that T know of in the country, so 
no silage is being sold. I expect to build a 
silo next Summer, and know of two or 
three more to be built. Poultry has brought 
fair prices, turkeys, 18 cents; chickens. 14; 
am not posted on ducks and geese. Eggs, 
25 to 30 cents this Winter. Milk, six cents 
per quart; cream, 20 cents per pint, and 
butter, 25 cents. 1 am running a milk 
route in our town. In horses, the Perch- 
cron type is mostly kept, and good indi¬ 
viduals sell from $200 to $280. T bought a 
young mare three years old in September 
last and paid $275 for her. I have a 
gelding weighing about 1600 that I have 
offered for sale for $250. l. d. m. 
Silage is never sold here; none except 
dairy farms have silos. Manure brings $1 
a two-horse load (about a ton) at the 
stables in town; is valued at $2 on farm 
in settlement with share-croppers. Fresh 
milch cows with calf at $40 to $75 accord¬ 
ing to quality. Good butcher cows, four 
cents per pound; calves, 5% cents live; 
eggs, 35 cents per dozen ; milk retailed en¬ 
tirely by dairies at 10 cents ; farm butter, 
25 to 35 cents according to whether it is 
hand skimmed or separator print. Cow 
pea hay ,$25 per ton; fodder, $30. and 
corn is selling freely at $1 per bushel (80 
pounds in the shuck) ; these prices at our 
local market delivered. Dressed pork, nine 
cents, so you see except in cotton we get 
a good share of the consumer's dollar.

of March, has good warm barn, fed mixed 
ground feed consisting of corn, oats and 
bran, and plenty of clover hay; salt when 
she wants it. water with chill taken off. 
About the 15th of December they failed to
