commercial poultry man, but better for a 
farm flock, where the hens can range and 
pick up a good share of their food. It is 
said that the eggs are usually lacking fer¬ 
tility, and that the hens are ti’emendous 
eaters without l)eing heavy layers. Still, 
we think they will have a definite place 
among imultry.

NEW YORK, MAT 9, I91S. 
CUTTER 
The market has l>een very strong with 
prices Ic to 2e above last week. Later 
in the week part of the advance was lost 
and the market became quite unsettled. 
The quality of the current make shows 
the usual variations in going from hay to 
grass, with more or less onion flavor in 
the_ butter from sections where pasture 
is infested with this pest.

The Federal Milk Commission price at 
New York for May is .‘f2.46 per 100 Ib.s. in 
the 150-mile zone for ti per cent fat, with 
4 cents per 100 lbs. additional for each 
tenth of one per cent fat increase. 
Eggs. 
Receipts are large, but tbe proportion 
suitable for high class trade is rather 
small and prices on these grades quite 
firm. The general run of gathered stock 
is going quite slowly and dealers with 
large supplies of these medium grades are 
cutting prices to make them move more 
rapidly! The unusual heat prevailing for 
several days has made gathered eggs ex¬ 
posed to it very doubtful property.

Rusiue.ss is picking up a little and de¬

good. Some broilers are said to have 
been sold around 00 cents per lb. 
Roosters both old and young are a trifle 
lower and mainly of undesirable quality. 
DRESSED POULTRY 
The recent hot weather has made havoc 
with some shipments of fresh-killed poul¬ 
try which were not iiacked with sufficient 
ice. Most of the trade is still supjilied 
with frozen stock, which looks and han¬ 
dles better than the iced. Fresh killed 
broilers are very scarce and bring fancy 
prices.

FRUITS. 
The apple market is active with high 
prices prevailing on sound fruit of desir¬ 
able varieties. Albemarle is being sold 
here to a larger extent than formerly, as 
the export trade that usually takes large 
quantities of this variety is held up by 
the war. Straw'berries are in fair supply, 
but selling well when sound. A few 
watermelons from Florida have arrived, 
averaging around $75 per hundred.

mainly small sizes. Old cabbage is prac¬

ful and lower except for the first receipts 
of the day. Shipments that get in on 
later trains lose the best trade and often 
have to go .$1 to .$1..50 per dozen lower 
than the early arrivals. Onions are sell¬ 
ing in a wid(> range, but the market is 
fairly firm on stock that is not sprouted 
and good quality of Texas new.

TYe have a fine flock of Rufl; Plymouth 
Rock poultry. Recently I have noticed 
several of them pass worms. The worms 
are white, about one and one-lialf to two 
inches in length, and about the thickness 
of the lead of an ordinary pencil. 2’he 
hens are in fairly good condition and have 
laid well all Winter. What can I do to

The round worms that you have no¬ 
ticed do not seem to do any serious harm 
to poultry when present in moderate num¬ 
bers. If it is desired to make an effort to 
get rid of them, each bird may be given a 
teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine dilut¬ 
ed with an equal amount of some bland 
oil. and the dose repeated, if necessary. 
A flock is very likely to become reinfected 
through picking up the discharged worms 
or their embryos, and it is not easy to rid 
them permanently of these parasites.
