bunches. Onions not so plenty at $2.50 
per bag for native stock. Spanish $5 per 
crate; Cuban and Texas Bermudas $2.50 
and $3; cucumbers a little short and 
higher at $6 and $6.50 per box; seconds 
$3 and $4 if good. California cauliflow¬ 
er $2 per box. California celery $1.50 
per dozen bunches; Southern string beans 
$5 to $6 per basket. Hothouse lettuce is 
selling well at 75 cents to $1 per box 
Tomatoes 35 per pound, Florida crates 
$4. Spinach $3.50 per barrel for South¬ 
ern stock; kale $2.25 per barrel; dande¬ 
lions $1.50 per box; beet greens $1.25. 
Cabbage, n-.tive old, $3 per barrel; South¬ 
ern $4 per barrel; squash 114 to 1% 
cents per pound. 
Horse market a little improved in sell¬ 
ers’ favor, as Maine shipments are al¬ 
lowed by permits. Best large green 
horses up to $400 each; medium weight 
horse of the class $275 to $325; lighter 
stock $200 to $250. Good second-hand 
horses not plenty at from $100 to $250. 
Butter slightly lower, as buying is not 
brisk because all who can are waiting 
for grass butter and lower prices, which 
all agree must come; 33 to 35 per pound 
for best is the figure; second grades 28 
to 32 for most sales. Cheese holds firm 
and prices about the same. 17 to 18 Yj. 
Western eggs coming in plenty and sell 
at 23 to 25 per dozen by the case. Local 
stock not plenty enough to meet demand, 
as many are put down for future use and 
they are wanted for hatching very largely 
also. Some as high as 26 to 27 per dozen, 
others about 25 is the rule. 
Live hens bring about 17 per pound; 
dressed 17 to 20 for good large stock; 
others 15 to 18 according to grade and 
condition. Dressed beef 11% lor sides 
of best quality, others 0 and 10. Good 
mutton and common lambs 13 to 15; 
fancy lamb 17 to 18 per pound; common 
veal 9 to 11, with fancy up to 14. 
Maple products not a very heavy sup¬ 
ply this year, syrup about $1 per gal; 
sugar 10 to 16 per pound. A. E. P. 
April 26. At present eggs are worth 
20 cents, and fat old hens 16 cents per 
pound. It is no trouble at all to get the 
full market price for those products right 
on the farms, but the garden products 
are altogether different. Farming in this 
county, Anne Arundel, consists exclusive¬ 
ly of trucking and orcharding. Trucking 
leads everything else here 10 to 1, but 
the orchards are increasing rapidly and 
small poultry farms also are becoming 
more numerous. The farmers who run 
their farms on their own money, come out 
practically every year well ahead of ex¬ 
penses, but the ones backed by the com¬ 
mission men apparently never make much 
headway. The latter class is greatly in 
the majority. This is a poor grass coun¬ 
try and few T cows are kept, their milk 
is readily sold for eight and 10 cents per 
quart. Irish potatoes sell for 75 cents 
per bushel; tomatoes usually start off 
about the first of July for $1.50 per 
peach basket and by the first of August 
they usually are down to 20 cents per 
basket or less. Cantaloupes usually come 
on about the first of August and their 
prices range like the tomatoes. Water¬ 
melons sell for $8 to $15 per 100 on the 
boats. None is hauled to tow r n. Sweet 
potatoes usually sell for $1 to $2 per 
barrel. Strawberries and dewberries are 
also favorite crops, and their prices vary 
from 12 cents to nothing per quart ac¬ 
cording to the season and quantity on 
market Nearly every trucker ships his 
products to Baltimore on the boats, but 
prices received in that manner seem very 
unsatisfactory, and some are beginning 
to haul their goods to market on w’agons 
with much better results. Last year the 
peach crop sold for about 40 cents per 
basket (1% peck) and there was a heavy 
crop of them. H. E. G.

During the last two years a special 
gathering or conference of Guernsey 
breeders has been held the evening pre¬ 
vious to the annual meeting of the. Amer¬ 
ican Guernsey Cattle Club. This year 
such a gathering will take place at Hotel 
Imperial. New York, on Tuesday evening, 
May 11. At 6.30 o’clock arrangements 
have been made for those in attendance to 
dine together at the hotel. Following the 
dinner there W’ill occur in the Assembly 
Room a general discussion of the feed¬ 
ing and care of Guernseys. Dr. Joseph 
L. Hills. Director of the Vermont Experi¬ 
ment Station, who has a high reputation 
as a teacher and investigator along the 
line of cattle feeding problems, will give 
an address. Messrs. Murphy and Gock- 
ereli, from the Anna Dean Farm, will 
tell of the care and work of Murne 
Cowan; Mr. Charles II. Jones of that 
of Cherry of Edgewater; and Messrs. Rob¬ 
erts of that of Nella Jay 4th. It is 
hoped others will discuss the w’ork of 
their cow’s that have figured prominently 
in the A. R. records during the year. 
The question of the proper feeding is 
surely of great importance to Guernsey 
breeders and it is hoped that this occa¬ 
sion will prove a good “experience meet- 
ing.” 
The largest consignment of fresh eggs 
ever shipped to South America left New 
York. April 24. for Buenos Ayres in the 
refrigerated compartments of the Lam¬ 
port & Holt liner Verdi. It consisted of 
6.840.000 eggs, packed in 19.000 cases, 
weighing fifty-six pounds each, and oc¬ 
cupying a space of two and one-half cu¬ 
bic feet. A shortage of fresh eggs in the 
Argentine will give the consignment a 
market value of more than six cents each 
and will represent a value in the Argen¬ 
tine capital of about $410,000. Brazil 
and Argentina have drawn heavily on 
their egg supplies from Hungary and 
France, but the war has completely elim¬ 
inated shipments. The Verdi also car¬ 
ried to South America consignments of 
peanut butter, beans, rice, potatoes and 
fresh Oregon apples. 
The presence of the foot-and-mouth dis¬ 
ease in the vicinity of the League Island 
Navy Yard, Philadelphia, has led the 
State authorities to urge the owners of 
herds in this locality to send their hogs 
to slaughter at once. Approximately 
8,000 hogs are usually feeding in what 
is locally known as the “Neck.” They 
are fed chiefly on garbage from the city, 
but whether the disease has been con¬ 
veyed to them in this way is still uncer¬ 
tain. The vicinity of Philadelphia was 
one of the first places to become infected 
when the plague made its appearance 
last Fall, and more or less infection has 
lingered there ever since. The last re¬ 
port received by the Federal government 
shows that up to April 16th a total of 
23.290 animals had been infected in 
Pennsylvania. Of these, 8,067 were 
swine; 14,857 cattle; and the remainder, 
sheep and goats.

Yes, waiting for every farmer or farmer’s son —any in¬ 
dustrious American who is anxious to establish for him¬ 
self a happy home and prosperity. Canada’s hearty invi¬

is higher but her farm land just as cheap and in 
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 
160 Acre Homesteads are Actually Free to Settlers and 
Other Land at From $15 to $20 per Aero 
The people of European countries as well as the American continent must be fed — thus an 
even greater demand for Canadian Wheat will keep up the price. Any farmer who can buy 
land at $15.00 to $30.00 per acre — get a dollar for wheat ana raise 20 to 45 bushels to the acre 
is bound to make money—that’s what you can expect in Western Canada. Wpnderful 
yields also of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed Farming is fully as profitable an industry 
as grain raising. The excellent grasses full of nutrition, are the only food required 
either for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools, markets convenient, climate excellent. 
Military service is not compulsory in Canada but there is an unusual demand for 
farm labor to replace the many young men who have volunteered for service in the war.
