continues and prices are 2 to 3 cents higher. 
Gathered stock is selling well wlien of fairly de¬ 
pendable ipiality. 14torago eggs are moving out 
quite freely and are a better bargain for some

erally steady. Heeent sales at Boston liavi' been:

and Pennsylvania h.alf blood combitig, T'i'i'g77. 
FRUITS. 
Demand for peaches is quite active, but prices 
c.ntinui' low except on extra fine fruit. The 
weatlier lias been favorable for peach market¬ 
ing, so that there has been less loss from soft 
or spoiled peaclies than freqtiently occurs. ,Vr- 
rirals of apples are light, and sound hand-picked 
Sitrayed fruit is bringing high prices. Keijeijits 
of pears are conslderalily larger but demand 
gooil, upwards of •1'7 a barrel being received for 
good to choice standard varieties. Grapes are 
in much larger supply, but selling only fairly 
well. The Vinifera varieties from the West 
are selling quite low and taking the place of 
the early Eastern Graites with many buyers. ,V 
little later when our Concords and Niagaras ar¬ 
rive in thoroughly ripe condition they will at¬ 
tract part of the trade now using Western 
stock. Plums have been doing a little better, 
8 -lb. baskets wholesaling from 50 cents down.

AILING ANIMALS 
Breachy Horse 
We have a 000-lb. liijrse obout It 
years old, Avliicb btis grown very skill¬ 
ful in jumpiug out of his pastuiT, over 
bars four rails high ito :iu adjoining 
corufield, the pa.stui-o being partly 
rough wood htt. (’ould you tell us bow 
we could bobble him to prevent bis 
jumping or crawding through? E. D. L. 
Xew York. ^ 
We .should advi.se you to try ;i dif¬ 
ferent plan from bitbliling. Ptii'tuilly 
blindfold the lioi-.se by means of a piece of 
light leather or beav.v canviis attached 
to the brow band of .a halter and so 
fitted tbiit it w’ill hang over the fore¬ 
head and eyes in such a way so an to 
prevent the hor.se from seeing to jump, 
but not prevent him from seeing to 
graze. Hbobles are somewlnit dangerous, 
but they may be experimented with if 
our plan doe.sn’t work. You can buy 
suitable bobbles from your harness 
maker Please report later if the blind¬ 
er prevented jumping fences. A. s. a. 
Precocious Development of Udder 
A young cow 5vithout calf is two ye.qrs 
old, and seems to be developing an udder. 
Can such an animal be milked, and, if 
so, will it in any 5vay impair the health? 
New’ Jersey. E. o. 
Case.s are on record 5vhere milk has 
developed in the udder of an unbred 
heifer. In mo.st of these sucking of the 
udder by a calf is the cause. Milk may 
be removed and used if in profitable 
quantity. Without an examination we 
cannot advi.se as to the condition present 
in your heifer. Ask some experienc’ed 
veterinarian or dairyman t<) make the 
examination. It .should be I’cmenibered 
that enlargement of the mammary glands 
giving the appearance of lactation may 
be due to tubercular tumor.s, so that the 
examination by an o.xpert is the more 
necessary. a s, a. 
Worms

In feed twice daily for a wco-k give the 
mare one tablespoonful of a mixrure of 
equal quantities by weight of wilt, sul¬ 
phur and dried sulphate of iron (cop¬ 
peras), then stop for 10 days and then 
repeat the treatment. Oive the foal half 
a teaspoonful of the same mixture twice
