Milk 
Jobbing Prices at New York. 
Restaurants using two to five cans per 
day are now paying five to 5 % cents for 
class B, pasteurized milk. 
A NEW YORK DAIRY SECTION. 
This is not a beef county, as most of 
the herds are Jerseys, with a few herds 
of Guernseys and Ilolsteins. Our butch¬ 
ers buy mostly Western beef for their 
business. Some of them get now and 
then a cow that was useless for dairy, 
and have to pay on the ratio of Western 
prices. At present beef is .$10 to $13 per 
quarter and retails from 10 to 28 cents 
per pound. A few of the farmers have 
bought small flocks of sheep and find 
ready sale for lambs to our local butch¬ 
ers at eight cents live weight, and they 
retail it for 12 to 22 cents from wagon. 
Dairying is the principal industry and 
the creameries handle the milk either un¬ 
der co-operative or sell to creamery com¬ 
pany. Sheffield Farms Company bought 
the co-operative plant here last Fall and 
they buy the milk. It is quite satisfac¬ 
tory, only.it takes the skim-milk off the 
farm, and that is one reason for such a 
shortage of cows; there are no calves 
raised. Good fresh cows bring from $50 
to $75 each and are hard to find at that. 
Hay is short crop, but so are fresh milch 
cows and I do not know in three years, 
if there are not more calves raised, where 
the cows will come from to supply the in¬ 
creasing demand. Butter brings 27 cents 
per pound to the farmer. I do not know 
what use creamery company makes of 
their butter as they make butter and ship 
cream and whole milk to New York City. 
There is not fruit enough here this year 
for home use; all kinds are very scarce. 
Horses very high; very few raised here; 
good teams from $300 to $600. A. m. 
Ashland, N. Y. 
Cows sell from $60 to $100 a head; 
butter 27 *4 cents per pound; cheese, 
1314 ; eggs, 30: new potatoes, $1 per 
bushel; raspberries, 18 cents per quart: 
cherries. 1214 cents per quart; oats. 50 
cents per bushel; corn, $1.40 per hun¬ 
dred pounds; green peas, 50 to 90 per 
bushel. ^ E. G. 
Beaver Meadow, N. Y. 
We get good prices for everything we 
can raise. This is strictly a Summer 
boarding-house section, and at the pres¬ 
ent all houses are full of guests. Pro¬ 
duce is sold in a semi-retail way. at the 
following prices: Green corn, $1.50 to 
$2 per 100 ears; tomatoes. $1 per 10- 
quart basket; beets and carrots. $2 per 
bushel; best potatoes, $3.50 per barrel; 
cabbage, $2.50 per barrel, or 10 cents 
per head; beans and peas, $1.50 to $2 
per bushel; cauliflower, 10 to 25 cents, 
according to size. The price mentioned 
for tomatoes is for first part of the 
season ; the price usually drops gradually 
to 75 cents and $1 per bushel about the 
last of August for canning. Hay, $16 
to $20 per ton ; no grain raised to sell. 
Fresh cows in Spring and Summer, $30 
to $50; in Fall same cows. $18 to $30; 
good young horses, $200 to $300. There 
are no dairies here. No small fruits 
raised. Apples are a complete failure 
this year. c. »r. c. 
Barryville, N. Y\ 
Dairy cattle coming fresh this Fall are 
bringing from $70 to $100 per head for 
grades. Milk at the cheese factory and 
cream ry has brought from $1 to $1.15 
per 100 pounds. Red and black rasp¬ 
berries have been scarce and high, bring¬ 
ing from 12 to 20 cents per quart. There 
is large acreage growing in this part of 
the State. A. E. N. 
Augusta, N. Y. 
In our section the number of people 
give a good home and retail market, and 
comparatively little farming is done. 
Cows seldom under $75 and up to $125; 
milk, wholesale, 5 to 6 cents a quart; 
retail, 8 to 10; butter, when for sale, 
35 to 40 at door. Lima beans, 25 cents 
a peck ; beets, $2 to $3 hundred bunches; 
corn, $2 a hundred. Not enough fruit 
to quote, but good pears will bring $1 
per bushel and so will apples. Potatoes 
may be said to be the principal crop 
grown here, and value follows closely the 
New York markets. This crop is light, 
owing to dry Summer. j. j. b. 
Bell more, N. Y. 
August 9. We are naving a spell of 
very hot humid weather, from 70 to 90 
degrees in the shade, which with the tor¬ 
menting flies seems to make the cows 
fall off in their milk production. As the 
pastures are getting short the price of 
butter has advanced to 36 and 3S cents 
a pound, while milk always stays the 
same price, seven and eight cents per 
quart retail and five cents per quart 
wholesale. Eggs 28 to 30 cents per 
dozen; potatoes have dropped to $1 a 
bushel. Yellow Transparent apples, 
hand picked, 40 to 50 cents a peck; fallen 
ones from 20 to 30 cents a peek. String 
beans 40 to 50 cents per half bushel 
basket; cabbage from three to six cents 
per head. New hay $20 per ton; hay 
was a rather sliorjt crop on account of a 
severe drought during May and early 
•nine. Early sown oats were also short 
in straw, but timely rains helped the 
biter oats which are not all cut yet on ac¬ 
count of the humid and unsettled weather, 
lorn is looking good. The late potato 
muds are a puzzle, some fields are looking 
'"iy good, while others are from one- 
fourth to one-half missing. The same 
conditions are reported throughout 
Schuylkill and Berks Counties, while Le¬ 
high County is reported as having very 
fine looking potato fields. It is feared 
that this weather will cause the rapid 
spread of blight. The Winter apple crop 
will be short owing to the late frosts. 
Orchards on high land will yield fair 
crops, while those on low land and near 
streams do not have any fruit on at all. 
Barnesville, Pa. j. h. k. 
Corn is our great staple, now brings 
about 50 to 55; oats. 36; wheat, 85; 
hogs, $7 to $8 per 100; beeves about 
same. Milch cows, $50 to $70; butter, 
20 to 22; eggs, 16; fowls. 13. Few ap¬ 
ples raised, old orchards all gone. Gar¬ 
dens burned out; potatoes, 55 to 60. 
Albany, Ill. c. b. p. 
The hay crop was fair, some very 
weedy, mixed hay more plentiful than 
straight Timothy. Potatoes look well, 
but early crop suffered from drought. 
Oats a medium crop, some very thin on 
the ground. Fruit very scarce in some 
parts of the county on account of late 
frosts. Wheat was good; rye good in 
straw, but poorly filled; corn good. 
Prices as follows: Potatoes, $1 per 
bushel; eggs, 28; butter, 35; wheat, 95; 
rye, 60; oats, 50; chickens, IS; corn, 
70. Heavy rains have washed the roads 
badly. Work on the State road between 
Catawissa and Centralia has been 
stopped owing to lack of funds to pay 
laborers. w. G. b.

THE BOSTON MARKETS 
The supply of fruit and vegetables on 
sale in Boston market increases from 
day to day, and with the demand some¬ 
what lessened for various reasons sales 
are a little slow at the best prices asked, 
but a slight reduction usually closes the 
sale. Corn is in fair supply, yet not 
excessive, and prices on best hold at $1 
per box with most of the poorer stock 
finding a good sale at 75 cents. The 
retail prices vary from 20 to 30 cents 
per dozen ; three to six dozen is required 
to fill a box on the average of early corn. 
The general supply now ready and com¬ 
ing on is not heavy, and if demand is 
reasonably good prices to growers should 
remain good on corn throughout the sea¬ 
son. The pepper crop looks good and is 
large enough to give the Italian people 
a good supply throughout the season; 
present selling price is about $1.50 per 
bushel. Outdoor tomatoes are just ripen¬ 
ing up and bring $3 to $4 per box. House 
tomatoes bring eight and 10 cents per 
pound. Cabbage is plenty for present 
supply and brings $1.50 per barrel. 
String beans are cheap at 50 cents per 
box. Shell beans are blighting some, 
which fact is apt to keep prices above 
that of previous years’ low prices pres¬ 
ent price, $1.50 per box. Lettuce, one 
of the market gardener’s most paying 
crops, is selling to please the growers so 
far this season as the rule; present price, 
50 cents per box. Cucumbers are show¬ 
ing blight early this year, which is apt 
to cut the.bearing season short and keep 
the price at a high figure; present price, 
$3 per box. Fancy cauliflower, $2.50 per 
box; celery, $1.50 per dozen bunches; 
onions locally are not a large yield as 
yet, and prices are well up at $1.50 per 
bushel. Squash is plenty enough to sup¬ 
ply the demand easily and sells at 50 
cents per box for Summer crook-neck 
and $1.25 per barrel for southern mar¬ 
rows. Beets bring around $1 per box; 
carrots. $2, and the supply not plenty as 
yet. Spinach brings 60 cents per box; 
a few green peas on sale at $1.50 per 
box ; potatoes hold firm at about $3 per 
barrel, with sweets as high as $4.50. 
Cantaloupes are in good supply but poor 
in quality at 75 cents to $1.25 per crate. 
Many retail stores are selling them at 
four large ones for 25 cents. Water¬ 
melons fairly plenty at 30 to 40 cents 
each. Apples have been in good demand 
at good prices, but owing to the heavy 
drop from the trees lately the second 
grades are selling a little slow at 75 
cents per box more times than at $1. 
The fancy ones, of course, sell better, 
some at $1.75 per box. Pears from 
California. $3 pm' box. Peaches coming 
more plenty, yet prices vary much, but 
about $1.25 per basket is perhaps the 
average. Plums plenty and glutting with 
no set price, probably $1 per basket is 
the price many are and will be sold at. 
Butter holds about the same. best 
grades being firm at 31 and 32 cents per 
pound ; others slow at 28 to 30. Cheese is 
also in good supply and trade slow; best, 
li ; others, 13 to 15, is the figure for 
most sales. Eggs in good supply and | 
prices are easy on some grades, which ! 
sell at 23 to 30. but the best fancy fresh 
bring 37 and in some cases in a small 
way, 40 per dozen. Ileus, as the rule, 
are not laying heavy, but going in to 
molt early this season. Live fowls sell 
at 17 per pound; dressed fowls, 16 to 20; 
roasting chickens, up to 30; broilers. 24; 
ducks. 20; best dressed beef. 14; other 
grades. 10 to 12: mutton, 7 to 9; lamb, 
best, 14; good. 12; eastern veal, 14 to 
16 for best; others, 10 to 12. a. e. p.

for Butter 
The get of Sayda’s Heir, 3d, 74817, show 
a thrift and finish which mark them as 
well-bred in every sense of the term. 
They are markedly similar in color and 
conformation. They are notably rugged 
and hardy as calves, and as they grow 
to maturity every one develops a vig¬ 
orous constitution and splendid dairy 
type. All his daughters carry excellent 
udders and large, well-placed teats. 
Their consistent breeding is re¬ 
flected in their dairy ability. The 
Sayda family in the Meridale 
Herd now includes twenty . Reg- 
ister-of-Merit cows, their average 
record being 8115 lbs. milk, test¬ 
ing 5.635%, and making 557 lbs. 
butter, at an average age of 6 years 
5 months. 
A full sister-in-blood to Sayda’s Heir, 
3d, is just finishing a year of authenti¬ 
cated work at almost twelve years of 
age, and will exceed 11,000 lbs. milk 
and 800 lbs. butter. She has averaged 
over 7910 lbs. milk, 540 lbs. butter an¬ 
nually for ten years.

HOLSTEIN CATTLE 
At the St- Louis fair in 1904 great satisfaction was 
It by the advocates of a popular dairy breed in the 
120-day records made by their cows, the best one being 
280 lbs. fat. 
From their point of view this is still a phenomenal record 
though rather small when compared with a recent official 
Holstein record, namely—393.487 lbs. fat from 11.326.7 lba. 
of milk in 120 days. 
Other things being equal, great producer* are economical 
producers and in no other breed will yon find so large a 
proportion of big-yield cows as among Holsteins.
