OHIO CATTLE MEN ORGAN ZE. 
A THOUSAND farmers and breeders 
can do much for live stock interests 
in any State. When these interests 
are so appealing that five times this num¬ 
ber will probably join forces in the next 
few months, the association evidently is 
handling situations which are vitally im¬ 
portant not to one thousand or five thou¬ 
sand members, but to all farmers and 
stockmen of the State. This is the Ohio 
Cattle Men’s Association. The move¬ 
ment has only been organized within the 
last six months. It is the opinion of the 
membership that legislation has been 
enacted which has overlooked the rights 
of owners of live stock and has caused 
hem inconvenience and loss. The prob¬ 
lem of bovine tuberculosis is one facing 
the farmers of Ohio. It has boon dis¬ 
cussed in State meetings for several 
years. The prominence of the question 
is making it one of the important mat¬ 
ters under consideration by the members 
who maintain their views in the matter 
are fair. A prominent member advises 
the policy of cleaning up of herds, not on 
the basis of the tuberculin test, but on 
the basis of evidences of the disease in 
the excretions of the animals. lie says 
that he is backed by the members and 
farmers >>f the State on the basis that 
all spreaders should be eliminated, while 
in his opinion, reactors may in no way 
become dangerous owing to very small 
evidences of the disease. lie maintains 
in behalf of the members that the move¬ 
ment against the disease may be in this 
way immediately inaugurated. The tu¬ 
berculin test is but one of the problems 
which faces the association. The matter 
of encouraging systematic and improved 
breeding operations in the State, the 
Stimulating of cooperative activity among 
other live stock organizations, and the 
promotion of the various breeds are pur¬ 
poses of the organization. 
The officers are: President, Dr. R. G. 
Holland. Wellington; vice-president, J. 
T. Hudson, Ravenna; secretary, W. W. 
Watson,' Youngstown ; treasurer. Sam¬ 
uel Werren, North Benton; executive 
committee, George A. Klotz, Canton; J. 
S. Miller. Ellsworth; J. W. Scott, Hud¬ 
son ; Wm. Bakody, Youngstown and 
Charles Norr, Wellington. A meeting is 
planned for farmers’ week at Columbus, 
Ohio, at which time an election of of¬ 
ficers will be held. w. j. 
BOSTON MARKETS. 
\ GENERAL decline of prices due to 
rather large receipts of most kinds of 
fruit and produce in Boston has taken 
dace lately, and from all signs is likely 
o continue for a while. Apples, which 
were selling fairly well, considering the 
crop and general condition of Lade every¬ 
where, are now practically a glut in the 
market, and the falling off of export trade 
from 44.000 barrels three weeks ago to 
-’4,000 barrels two weeks ago and 14.000 
barrels last week, has not helped mat¬ 
ters a bit. Large quantities of dropped 
ipples, especially Baldwin and Greening, 
.ire being put on the market, but find poor 
sale and bring low prices. The new open- 
dr market opened at Shawmut Ave. and 
Castle St., a few days ago, is giving the 
consuming public of the medium and 
poorer classes a chance to buy apples at 
i much lower price than they have been 
paying to the street peddlers, and bids 
fair to cut quite a figure in market circles 
by helping out the producer and consumer 
both, and leaving the middlemen to look on. 
Vt tins time of year up-country shippers 
tnd Boston dealers ship in car lots of 
drop apples in bulk and shovel them into 
oarrels which are weighed and sold at 
>1 and $1.25 per barrel to peddlers, who 
distribute them about the city at a good 
profit, the general prices being 20 to 
10 cents per peck. Now anyone can go 
o the new market and buy better apples 
it 40 to 00 cents per box, and the pub¬ 
ic is doing just this. At the regular 
market fancy apples are in demand to 
supply a certain trade. Gravenstein 
brings up to $3 per barrel. McIntosh 
ibout as much; other kinds such as 
Snow, King, Wolf River, Alexander, etc., 
ibout $2 per barrel; Baldwin and Groen- 
ing about $1.50 in most cases. West- 
urn box fruit $1.50 to $2 per box when 
wanted. Good bananas, yellow, $2 to $3 
per bunch; others $1 and $1.50; red $3 
co $4.25 for choice, others $1.50 and 
S2.50. Cranberries slow and prices rule 
low at $4 per barrel and $1.50 per crate. 
Grapes plentiful and cheap; California 
stock of Malaga, Tokay, etc., $1.25 and 
$1.50 per crate; Delaware, Concord aud 
such kinds iu small baskets range from 
nine to 15 cents each. Grapefruit plenty 
at $2.50 and $3 per box. I.emous cheap 
and plenty enough for all wants, prices 
range from $2.50 to $0 per box. Oranges 
from California about $4 per box. A 
large crop of Floridas will soon be in 
he market at reasonable prices. Pears 
not in heavy supply, but demand good 
m all grades; Bose about $3 per box; 
Seek<4 $2.50 and $3; Sheldon $2: An¬ 
ion $1.50; cooking stock 75 to $1. Pine- 
ipples $3 to $5 per crate. Quince eheup- 
•r than usual, $2 per box being the aver¬ 
age price for most kinds. 
Potatoes rule rather low at present, 
but may advance slightly later; $1 and 
11.10 per bag are the general prices on 
hese; sweets $2.25 per barrel Southern 
string beans 75 to $1.50 per bushel 
basket; Limas $3 per box; cabbage a 
little short and bring up to $1 per bar¬ 
rel for both drumheads and Savoys; reds 
75 per box. Cauliflower 75 per box; cel¬ 
ery 75 per dozen for early sorts, with 
Ihiscnl and Boston Market from $1 to 
THE CJ RAL NEVV-VOKWE.; 
$1.75. Cucumbers $4.50, $3.50 down to 
$2 per box. Lettuce 50 per box; toma¬ 
toes $3 per box for ripe, $1.50 for green. 
Squash are plenty in the market just 
now, and price low, with demand just 
fair; marrow 75 per barrel; turban, 
Bay State and Holland $1 to $1.50 per 
barrel or per hundred pounds. Onions 
very low and quality rules rather poor 
for present stock of Western Massachu¬ 
setts, etc.; 75 and $1 per bag is what 
many of these are sold for; native stock, 
well dried, 65 to 75 per box and extra 
large firm stock $1 for the best trade. 
Turnips, Fall varieties, 75 per box; ruta¬ 
baga $1 per barrel. Dry weather has 
shortened all root crops, which are the 
best property the gardener has this sea¬ 
son. Beets 75 per box; carrots 85; pars¬ 
nips $1; radish 50 and 65; spinach, 50 
per box and plenty. 
Live hogs and beef lower, the former 
about eight cents per pound; the latter 
four to eight cents is general run of 
the different grades with extra fancy in 
a few cases up to 10. Dressed hogs, 10 
is about the average. Veal calves iu de¬ 
mand and slightly higher, 10 to 12 for 
best, six to eight for poorer grades. 
Milch cows in slow demand except for a 
few extras which always are in demand 
at good prices; the former being $50 to 
$75 each, the latter $75 to $125. Live 
hens and chickens 14 to 15 per pound. 
A. E. P. 
BUFFALO MARKETS. 
T HE apple market has improved late¬ 
ly, so that some extra grades are 
selling for $1.75 per barrel. Green¬ 
ings retail in the city at 60 cents a 
bushel. Potatoes are not quoted at above 
48 and retail at 60. The local crop is 
very large and of fine quality. Peaches 
are about gone, a few being offered at 
$1 for a third-bushel basket. Pears are 
not plenty and the quality is only fair. 
The price is $4 per barrel wholesale. 
Grapes are very plenty, home-grown 
wholesaling at two cents a pound and 
retailing at three. In car lots the price 
is $35 per ton. Cabbage is not quoted 
above $3 per hundred; celery is 30 cents 
a dozen down; cucumbers are becoming 
scarce at $1.75 per hamper; lettuce, 20 
cents per dozen; tomatoes, 20 to 40 
cents per half bushel. String beans are 
poor at $1.75 per hamper or eight cents 
per quart, retail. Frost held off a long 
time and enabled the farmers to market 
about everything. Market dealers com¬ 
plain that consumers deal with farmers 
direct and make it hard for them to pay 
stall rents. If there were half as many 
of them the business would still go on 
at full volume and it would be easy to 
pay rents. There are a few Brussels 
sprouts, retailing at 25 cents a quart, a 
high price, and parsnips have appeared 
at 10 cents per two-quart measure. Hub- 
hard squashes are plenty and very fine, 
at two cents a pound or less, as the crop 
is large. There is considerable sweet 
corn yet. though mostly hard, retailing at 
20 cents a dozen. Butter is steady, but 
quiet, at 34 cents down, wholesale, and , 
cheese 17 cents down. j. w. c.

Itching Skin. 
HAVE a horse troubled with itching 
skin. Is there anything that can be 
. done for it? J. M. G. 
Pennsylvania. 
Chicken lice or horse lice may be the 
cause of the itchiness. Keep poultry out 
of the stable. Clip the horse and wash 
affected parts once daily with a 1-100 
solution of coal tar dip. Do not feed 
corn or green grass in Summer, if the 
horse has to work. Keep the harness 
clean. If the itchiness persists mix half 
an ounce of granular hyposulphite of 
soda in the feed once daily, a. s. a. 
Indigestion. 
CALF now about two months old does 
not grow. When I first got her 1 
began feeding ealf meal, accord na 
to directions, kept her in a box stn>' .-s 
the weather was hot and li es bad. Tho- 
seeing she was making no progress I r 
A 
her outside in the shade. She nibbles a l 
little grass occasionally, but lies down 
most of the time. Her bowels seem all 
right, hut the manure has a very bad 
odor. She always has water at hand, but 
does not appear to drink much. I have 
raised calves before, but have never had 
one that would not eat grass most of the 
time and keep on growing. h. m. b. 
New Jersey. 
Physic the calf with castor oil in milk, 
then add one ounce of limewater to each 
pint of milk fed. Feed six times a day, 
and allow the calf its liberty on grass, in 
orchard or a shady place. Spray with a 
fly repellant daily. See that all feeding 
utensils are kept scrupulously clean and 
sweet. a. s. A. 
Strong Milk. 
I ll AVE a Jersey cow that I highly 
prize; she milks well to within four 
months of calving, she will then dry 
up. I could keep her milking longer, 
hut the milk seems strong and thick so 
much so we dislike to use it. Can you 
tell me the cause of this, and do you 
know to how to prevent it? I feed this 
cow soft feed, cow beets and corn fodder. 
Would the feed cause the milk to get 
thick and strong? w. h. \v. 
New York. 
A cow that “dries off” four months 
before calving is scarcely worth retaining 
for dairy purposes, but if there is a prof¬ 
itable flow of milk at the time you dry 
her off on account of the milk being 
strong in taste, she may be worth treat¬ 
ing. The cow beets are a probable cause 
of the tainted milk. They should be fed 
after milking, or in this case, it would bo 
well to exclude beets from the ration and 
if possible substitute corn silage and good 
mixed clover hay. Great care should be 
taken to sterilize the milk utensils and 
to keep the stable free of strong odors 
which tend to taint warm milk. Every- 
time the milk becomes strong in taste 
physic the cow and then mix half an 
ounce of granular hyposulphite of soda 
m the feed twice daily. a. s. a. 
‘You are still taking Summer board¬ 
ers?’,’ “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel. 
“It isn t that we need the money. But 
we d get kind of lonesome if a new bunch 
of city folks didn’t come along every 
week or so an’ cut up an’ try to enter¬ 
tain us natives.”—Washington Star.

AILING ANIMALS. 
Suspicious Case. 
I HAVE a horse which seems to have a 
very bad cold. She has no cough and 
her nose seems to be dry when in the 
barn, but as soon as she travels on the 
road there is a watery discharge that 
comes from her nose. Under her jaw 
she has a little swelling the size of a 
walnut; the white of her eyes are pink, 
and the lids are a little swollen. We 
also discovered a red spot on her tongue. 
Her appetite is not very good; she re¬ 
fuses to eat oats, but eats hay; we gave 
her some middlings, and she acted as 
though very hungry. It seems her 
throat is sore and it hurts her to swal¬ 
low. c. D. 
Connecticut. 
We should not feel justified in pre¬ 
scribing treatment in this case as the 
symptoms suggest glanders, and that 
disease is incurable, contagious among 
horses aud communicable and fatal to 
man. An affected horse has to be de¬ 
stroyed according to State law and the 
premises quarantined. The stable has 
to be cleansed, disinfected and white¬ 
washed. It may be some simple ail¬ 
ment, but the only safe plan will be to 
have an examination made by a local 
graduate veterinarian. Meanwhile iso¬ 
late the horse. A. s. A.
