OHIO NOTES. 
Hog Cholera. —Two inspectors from 
tbe office of the State Veterinarian en¬ 
tered Fayette County recently to open 
the campaign against hog cholera which 
will be waged there for the next year, 
with the expectation of eliminating it 
entirely. The inspectors spent the first 
day visiting a few farms near Washing¬ 
ton C, H, the county seat, and taking a 
“hog census”; each farm which showed 
signs of cholera among its hogs was noted 
and placards announcing the finding were 
posted. During the campaign $20,000 
appropriated by the General Assembly 
for the work will be spent in the county. 
Later it is expected that similar appro¬ 
priations will be made* for the work in 
other counties in the State. 
O. S. U.—The first formal step to pro¬ 
vide accommodations for the numbers of 
short course agriculture students ex¬ 
pected at Ohio State University in Jan¬ 
uary, was taken by the State Agricultural 
Commission when it decided to have an 
architect prepare plans and specifications 
for changes necessary to make buildings 
of the State Fair grounds suitable for 
class rooms. It is probable that the com¬ 
mission will make these changes and all 
Winter course agricultural students will 
attend school in the Fair Grounds. Al¬ 
ready the university buildings are so 
crowded by students attending school 
throughout the entire year that there is 
little room for additional agricultural 
students of the Winter course. 
More Extension Work. —Last year 
the Legislature passed a bill that said the 
State wanted the university to start more 
extension work. The Legislature said 
“there are thousands of boys, and girls, 
and men and women for that matter, who 
can’t get a chance at our big university, 
and we must do something for them.” 
Now they will carry the college education 
to “all the people.” A pdrty of State and 
university officials have left Columbus 
for a five days’ tour at the State univer¬ 
sities of Michigan, Illinois, and Wiscon¬ 
sin. In all these institutions and es¬ 
pecially the last two, extension work has 
been organized very extensively. 
Highways. —Maintenance of highways, 
probably the greatest of all problems *in 
connection with the improvement of road 
conditions, is receiving the attention of 
the highway codifying and revision com¬ 
mission, which is now visiting in the 
Eastern States, securing data for use in 
Ohio. Where this phase of the highway 
problem has been neglected roads have to 
be built over at almost as great cost as 
at first, and counties have labored under 
a cumulative load of debt. It is for this 
reason that the commission hopes to write 
into laws making mandatory the mainten¬ 
ance of improved roads. It has been 
suggested that the county surveyor be 
given the general charge over the road 
maintenance with the title of county ro;wi 
engineer. If made responsible for the 
condition of highways in this county and 
given funds with which to work, it is the 
theory of the commission that good results 
can be obtained. Clarification of the high¬ 
way construction laws, which contain 
hundreds of sections which prescribe an¬ 
tiquated methods of highway improve¬ 
ment under present conditions, also is to 
be attempted. Proposed legislation will 
be submitted to the Legislature next Win¬ 
ter* E. v. A. 
BOSTON MARKET REVIEW. 
With the flush of vegetables and fruit 
of most sorts over, prices are moving 
slightly upward and demand is somewhat 
better on most tilings. As it is now gen¬ 
erally known that apples are a short crop 
and part of the seconds and poorer grades 
are disposed of to dealers and canners, 
anything that will stand up any length 
of time is in demand at fair prices. 
1 ancy hand-picked bring good money, be¬ 
cause if the seller does not get his price 
lie stores for the high prices that must 
come this year at holiday time and after. 
l'he pear crop, were it not for the Jewish 
population, would be a drug, -but the 
heavy consumption by these people keeps 
the offering moving at fair prices. Fancy 
California and native stock bring good 
prices, $2.50 to $2.50 for Bartlett, Seckol 
and Bose, with Anjou and Sheldon about 
less per box ; common stock of mixed 
varieties 75 to $1.25 for cooking purposes. 
Cranberries are in fair demand at $6.50 
per barrel and $2 to $2.50 per box. 
Grapes a little short in supply, so they 
sell at fair prices. Small baskets of Sa- 
lems, Concords and Catawbas bring about 
-0 cents, with Niagara a little higher, 
foreign stock of Malaga. Tokay and 
others, $1.75 to $2.50 per crate. Bananas 
trom $1.25 to $2.25 per bunch for yellow, 
with reds from $2 to $4.50. Oranges, 
California stock, $5 to $7 per box; Flor- 
l'las just coming in a little under size and 
not ripe, $2.50 and $4 per box. Lemons 
v t( V* 8 * H)X f° r best large fruit. 
1 York quinces $2.25 per box; native 
crop short and pears well up, $2.50 to 
• ' 1 M 1 ’ Inirge fancy, with small stock bring- 
•' v -.50 .to $2.25 per box. Best fancy 
Gravenstein apples as high as $6 per bar- 
icl. McIntosh about the same, other good 
,? ’J® stock $2, $4 and $5 per barrel. Best 
Baldwin $4.50. good $2 and $2.50; Green- 
nigs $2.:>0 to $4 ; Western box fruit $2.25 
t0 s ’*> "'ith Winter Banana quoted at 
around $4. Native box stock $1 and $2 
Per box, with some fancy kinds doing 
much better. 
Onions about the same, $1.75 to $2.25 
~“hushel bag for car stock, with na- 
tiws in boxes $1.15 to $1.25, pickling 
bringing $2 to $4.50. Potatoes recover¬ 
ing from recent drop now bring $1.40 
and $1.50 per bag, with supply about 
normal. A general shortage of entire 
crop means a general upward trend from 
now on, as there is not much chance of 
outside or foreign stock being shipped 
in to any great extent, as short crops in 
some countries, disease in others, as well 
as dry rot, will keep the supply down. 
Sweets lower and plenty at $1.J)0 and 
$1.75 per barrel. Cabbage is being put on 
the market freely enough to keep the 
price down at present, but the general 
opinion is that this will double in a short 
time, as the general crop all over is light. 
Drumheads bring $1 to $1.25 per barrel, 
Savoy 75 to 90; and Reds 50 to $1 per 
box; cauliflower were plentiful and cheap¬ 
er, 50 to 75 per box, $1 per long box. 
Squash is also a general short crop, and 
prices are fair, although demand is not 
very heavy as yet. Bay State and Hub¬ 
bard two cents per pound; Marrow $1 
per barrel; Turban $1.50 per barrel; 
pumpkins 75 per box. Cucumbers under 
glass not plentiful yet, and prices are 
good; $9 per box for best, others $5 to 
$8. Lettuce generally poor in quality, 
with prices good at 75 to $1.50 per small 
box. Celery, White Plume, $1.25 per 
box ; Pascal and Boston Market $1.50 to 
$1.75. Southern string beans $2 per bas¬ 
ket. Tomatoes short and about done for 
ou outdoor stock, which brings $2 per 
box if good; hothouse 25 cents per pound. 
Green ones in demand at $1 per box. 
Good butter is short and supply will 
not equal demand for several months 
yet; in meantime second quality storage 
will be sold whenever possible by folders 
of same. Best now brings 36 by tub; 
medium grades 30 to 34; cooking stock 
28 to 30. Cheese is not very good qual¬ 
ity ; while price holds fair demand is 
not what it sometimes is at this season. 
Best 18 to 19, others 16 to 17. Eggs 
are soaring out of sight and touch of 
common people, bringing over 50 cents 
per dozen for new-laid; storage stock of 
good quality 32, others about 28. 
Grain prices are easier, meal as low 
as $1.52 per bag wholesale; retail 
$1.60 to $1.70. Oats 38 to 48 per 
bushel wholesale; retail $1.15 to $1.25 
per bag. Bran $24 to $25 per 
ton; middlings and mixed feed $27 to 
$29; cotton-seed and linseed $33. Glu¬ 
ten $29. Best old hay for horse feeding 
brings $23 and $24 per ton. good $20 to 
$22, common stock #15 to $20; swale and 
damaged $12 and $13. Good rye straw is 
bringing $20 per ton ; oat straw goes at 
$ 12 . 
Dressed fowl 20 for native stock. West¬ 
ern 18 for best, others 14 to 17. Roast¬ 
ing chickens 25 ; broilers 23 per "pound. 
Live fowls are in demand, as good stock 
is short. Any having such are holding 
same to squeeze a few more eggs if pos¬ 
sible before putting on the market, or 
until the pullets lay. These will bring 
16 cents per pound easy, poor stock 
bringing 15. and most of the offerings 
are poor. Good large roasting chickens 
17, others 15 and 16. _ Ducks also bring 
16. Live beef at Brighton is firmer and! 
brings 3, 4, 6, and 6% cents according] 
to grade for cows. Steers $6.25 to $8.25' 
per hundred weight. Good live veals a 
little slow at 8% to 10 for fancy. Live 
hogs about 9 was the average price; 
lambs 7 was the offer. Milch cows plenty 
but demand light except for the pick; 
others sold slowly, with prices shaded a 
little from previous week. A few go at 
around the $100 mark, more at $50 to 
$65. Dressed beef in Boston for fancy 
13 cents per lb.; veal, fancy, 16; lamb 
12^4 ; hogs 11. A. E. P.

Carrier 
Rigid and Rod Track Combined 
A combination that offers all 
the advantages of the rigid 
track inside the barn—all the 
advantages of the rod track 
outside. 
It enables you to use, in¬ 
side the barn, the celebrated 
JAMES I-beam track, bent to 
any curve without use of heat, 
with JAMES simple switches 
and a raising and lowering 
carrier. 
“Button-on” hangers make 
the I-beam track easy to erect. 
Tub lowers by its own 
weight; is kept under perfect 
control by JAMES friction 
brake and clutch.

**Originators of Sanitary Barn 
Equipment Ideas” 
While filling tub carrier “stays 
put”—moves only when you push 
it, because track cannot sag. 
Outside the barn you use the 
rod track. Stand at the door, give 
carrier a shove; it runs out, dumps 
itself at proper point, and returns 
automatically to the barn. Never 
fails to dump. 
Cannot jump either the rigid or 
rod track. y
