THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
1147 
MILK. 
N. Y. Exchange price $1.91 per 40-quart 
can, netting four cents in 26-cent zone. 
The zones are fixed by the Interstate Com¬ 
merce Commission as follows: 23 cents 
for the first 40 miles from New York; 26 
cents for the next 60 miles; 29 cents for 
the next 90 miles; beyond this, 32 cents. 
The railroads allow a discount for car lots 
of 10,000 quarts of 10 and 12% per cent. 
Rye, 65 cents; oats, 32; hay, $9 ; cows, 
$35 to $60; horses, $100 to $250; butter, 
25 cents; cream, 26% ; eggs, 22; hens, nine 
cents ; young chickens, 10. This has been 
an off year for us. Quite an acreage of 
beans, sugar beets and chicory is raised 
here. Beans are pretty well harvested. 
The roots are being harvested now. Beets 
are not so good. There is no fruit in this 
immediate vicinity ; no wheat and not much 
corn ; quite an acreage of potatoes, but no 
market. a. p. b. 
Milk is the main thing I sell. The year¬ 
ly price is seven cents, the price to “Sum¬ 
mer people” nine cents a quart. I raised 
about 200 bushels of marketable potatoes. 
I sold some at $1.25, but now the price is 
$1 per single bushel or 90 cents in lots. 
Turnips, the white Winter variety, 60 cents 
a bushel. Hay is generally bought from 
abroad, as no one raises more than for his 
own use, the price from $25 to $35 a ton. 
There are very few cows for sale; price 
from $40 upward. There is very little fruit 
grown. h. j. c. 
Edgartown, Mass. 
Eggs. 23 to 47 cents per dozen; milk, 
6 to 10 cents per quart; lambs, dressing 
off 25 to 30 pounds, $3 each ; ewes, old 
and culls from the flock, $3 to $4 each. 
These prices the last four or five years. 
Young buck, raised to order, $10 ; wool, 16 
to 30 cents per pound, 1902 to 1912; aver¬ 
age price for ten years, 20 cents (about) ; 
cabbage, $1 per 100 pounds; carrots, 60 
cents per bushel; peas, 60 cents per peck ; 
pumpkins, $1 per 100 pounds; squash, $2 
per 100 pounds; sweet corn, 75 cents to $2 
per 100; average price about $1 per 100 ; 
turnips, sweet German, 60 cents per bushel; 
apples, $1 per bushel; plums, $2 per bush¬ 
el ; blackberries, 15 cents per quart; straw¬ 
berries, 12% cents per quart. B. M. 
Plymouth, Mass. 
We can sell nearly all of our farm prod¬ 
ucts direct to the consumer at Lock Haven 
Curb Market; prices about as follows at 
this date: Butter, 35 cents; eggs, 35 
cents; Spring chickens, 35 to 50 cents; 
dressed, 25 cents per lb. ; apples, best Fall 
varieties, 25 cents per peck; tomatoes, 50 
cents per bushel; cabbage, five cents per 
head; corn (old), $1 per bushel. Winter 
apples, pears and onions are almost a fail¬ 
ure ; no regular price. Best potatoes are 
selling at 60 cents; many are rotting. 
Loose Timothy hay, $16 to $18. Dealers 
are paying for baled hay $16; selling at 
$20. They pay 95 cents for old corn, sell 
at $1.10; wheat, 95 cents at mills. Cows 
bring anywhere from $40 to $80, or even 
$100 in some instances; good horses, above 
1300 pounds, $250. Hogs are scarce and 
high. A. T. B. 
Lock Haven, Pa. 
Here are local prices of various articles 
of farm products that prevail in tins 
vicinity: Ilay, $10 to $12 per ton; buck¬ 
wheat, $1.20 per 100; oats, 35 cents per 
bushel; wheat, $1 ; apples, 40 to 50 cents 
per bushel; potatoes, from 35 to 50 cents; 
cabbage, 50 cents per dozen; butter, 30 
cents per pound ; eggs, 25 cents per dozen. 
Hogs have been selling for eight cents per 
pound, but the hog and beef cattle market 
in this section is not sound; no reliable 
buyers. Garden produce and fruits are 
not cultivated extensively for market, as 
we are too far from large cities to deliver. 
The farming in Crawford County, Pa., is 
quite diversified, each farmer raising a 
little of everything common to this part 
of the country. The average price per 100 
for milk at cheese factories was $1.35 at 
a four per cent butter fat test. 
Blooming Valley, Pa. n. v. d. 
Trices here are as follows : Milk at farm, 
4% cents; in town, 8 to 9 cents; butter, 
38 cents now, never lower than 35 cents; 
eggs, 45 cents and scarce, were as low as 
25 to 28 cents; wheat. $1.08 at farm; 
oats, 46 cents bushel of 30 pounds; rye, 
75 cents; potatoes, 75 cents on farm, 90 
cents to $1 in town, were the biggest crop 
in six years; apples are scarce, Pippin and 
King brought $1 per 15-quart basket; fair 
dropped apples, 50 cents a basket; No. 1 
Baldwin, 90 cents; sweet corn, $1 to $1.25 
per 100. wholesale, 25 cents per dozen in 
town ; fowl are 25 cents a pound, dressed. 
We have had a good season, no failure of 
any crop. We are within driving distance 
of several towns filled with commuters, 
finest of markets, and still there are quite 
a few run-down farms, but they are be¬ 
coming fewer in number fast. We are 
getting better prices than anywhere else 
I know of, and land is plentiful at $100 
to $150 an acre. G. s. m. 
Plainfield, N. J. 
Horses selling from $100 up to $400, 
quality considered. Cows, from $30 to $80. 
Corn, $1 per 100 pounds in the ear; po¬ 
tatoes. 25 cents a bushel, no market, 
abundant crop in good condition. Apples, 
50 cents a bushel, good quality and plenty. 
Butter, 30 cents; eggs, 30 cents. Milk, 
retail, five cents a quart. Oats were a 
good crop, going as high as 90 bushels per 
acre. 30 cents; barley, good, 45 bushels 
per acre, 50 cents. Land is selling from 
$75 to $200 for a few good farms; might 
be bought for from $90 to $100 per acre 
if bought from the owner. s. n. f. 
Delta, O. 
The prices obtainable in this vicinity as 
near as I can get are as follows: Beef cows, 
2% to 6 cents a pound, live weight. Fowls, 
12 to 14 cents, live weight; chickens, 16 
cents, live; milk, 40 cents a can, 8% 
quarts; new milch cows, from $50 up ac¬ 
cording to quality, age, size, etc. ; this for 
grade cows; pure bred any price you can 
get. Cows either farrow or not very far 
along with calf, $20 to $50. Potatoes, 80 
cents a bushel. Beans, choice, $2.75 to 
$3.25 per bushel. Butter to regular cus¬ 
tomer’s. 40 cents a pound by the year. 
Eggs, 42 to 45 cents. Apples, No. 1, $2.25 
a barrel. a. w. s. 
Atkinscm Depot, N. H. 
Everybody busy; more work than men. 
Wheat is sown. Some are sowing rye. An 
“ad" in one of our county papers calls 
for help to husk corn at $2 and board per 
day. Corn is cut, except some fields that 
are left to husk on the hill. Some have 
begun cribbing corn. One neighbor has 
built and filled a silo, the only one in this 
vicinity, although there are several in our 
county. N»ar Coldwater, the county seat, 
lightning nearly spoiled a cement silo. 
Harvesting buckwheat has been difficult, as 
it was laid fiat by wind. Thrashing it has 
been interrupted by heavy rains. Potatoes 
yield well and are selling to shippers for 
25 and 30 cents per bushel. Last year they 
were $1 per bushel, and last Spring some 
sold at $2 per bushel. s. i>. h.

MERIDALE JERSEYS 
AND HEIFERS 
FOR SALE 
In the development of the Meridale Herd we are 
increasingly confining ourselves to family lines of 
breeding. As - a result, we are just now willing to 
part with some very excellent Cows and Heifers, a 
little out of these family lines, but so well bred 
that they will add quality to any herd. 
The Herd is under constant supervision of State 
representatives, and the health qf every animal in 
it is assured beyond question. We are therefore 
able to quickly conform to the health requirements 
of any State or of the United States. 
The Cows we offer have proved profitable to ns 
(more than a few have met Register of Merit re¬ 
quirements), and the Heifers give equal promise of 
future usefulness. 
We have no printed list or description, but pre¬ 
fer to show these animals in their everyday work. 
We therefore urge intending purchasers to visit 
Meridale Farms, and will be glad, on request, to 
tell how to get there. The quality of the animals 
is exceptional, and prices are reasonable. Address:

lbs. of milk (average test 4 . 219 ! fat', making 129.46 lbs. of
