Current Comment.

EaGs.-We have had very dull market
for the past week. Supplies have been
liberal and demand slack.
OATs.-The market is quiet, with some
| business doing as supplies are needed on
about the same basis OF price as last week.
fredericksburg of old potatoes have
| increased since the advance In prices and
| for the past day or two there has been q full
supply.
BEANs.-The market is still dull and
| prices are ruling low and weak Marrow
| pea and medium have to be strictly choice
| to bring 85c.
CHEEsE.-There has been marked in
crease in receipts during the past week.
Demand has been light with a declining
tendency in prices.
FLoUR.-The market continues dull, and
under the effect Of the decline in wheat
general prices are lower. With wheat
than they were before, and the business
done is confined to small sales here and
there as supplies are needed.
BUTTKR.-Ws have had very heavy re-
ceipts for the past week but there has not
been q proportionate increase in the de-
shade prices q little to keep the goods NOV
ing. There is some demand for cold stor-
age, but 1t is not very general as yet.
LUMBER.-The cargo list of some of the
mill agents here and commission men is far
from what they ordinarily expect. One
dealer says they are not one-half as numer-
GUS as they should be, and attribute il to
the dull times. The mills simply will not
ship lumber to be slaughtered in this and
other Eastern markets. With the light
shipments that there are 1t is not easy to
dispose Of all the lumber coming forward.
WooL.-The Market as predicted last
week, shows a much stronger tone in spite
of the trivial sales Of domestic wool. Do
nestle wool is indeed utterly neglected.
Nine of the largest houses in the city re-
ported no sales whatever beyond sample
bags. The market is on purely specula-
tive basis. The mills are glutted to the lips
with wool. Some of the leaders boast that
they have supply sufficient TO last them
for eighteen months ahead. This does not
prevent them, however, from coming into
the market for more foreign wool as fast as
their supplies are reduced

Veal VS.. other Dairying.

Residing where there is twelve-cow
veal farm, and il being something en-
tirely new to me in the line of dairying,
l have been much interested in scru-
tinizing all its operations for the past
year. A plain statement of facts will
be of general interest All of the
twelve cows are very ordinary animals,
largely of scrub blood, and would prob
ably rate not better than 200.pound but
ter cows on the average. Their feed
has been like the COWS, sub-ordinary.
The total sale of veals for the year 1896
amounted to $50, or S67.50 per COW.
The young calves that were not dropped
on the farm were obtained from milk
dairymen and of some one to three
cow farmers who are glad to get rid of
the young things at nominal price.
The veals are sold at about four to five
weeks of age. In cold weather they
are slaughtered, hog-dressed and sent
to the New York markets, 300 miles
distant; and in warm weather they go
to the same market alive, in lamb and
calf car attached to fast freight train.
1t is the aim to have the COWS come
fresh in the fall and push the veal bust
ness in winter, for then veals bring
much more than at other seasons.
Calves of beef breeds and their grades
are best, Holsteins second, scrubs
third and Jerseys fourth. Holstein
COWS are best to fatten calves, the beef
breeds second, scrubs third and Jer-
seys cows, like their calves, are not
sin it" (veal farming) at all. The
rich milk of Jerseys causes calves of
the other breeds named to scour toe
much. Their milk is all right for their
own calves, but the latter, as to size
compare with the other calves as
"small potatoes" do with Maule't
Thoroughbreds, Freemans and Carmar
No. 3's. Cows very soon learn tt
mother any strange calf, and do no
mind it 30 much as change of human
mixers, because all calves draw thu
milk alike and human mixers do not
If one will compare the results of thi
case with the results of similar dair,
for producing milk, butter or cheese
he will see that the difference in prof
is largely in favor of veal dairying, ant
then the difference In labor is so large
ly in favor of the latter, there cal
hardly be any comparison.-Exchange

Dairy Notes.

THE dairyman who is anxious to see
that his cows have enough to eat and
drink, stands good chance of making
money out of them, no matter what
their breed may be.
REMEMBER that noxious weeds in
the pasture make bad favored milk
and from that is evolved poor favored
butter, and the buyer always notes this
discrepancy in affixing a second-class
price.
THE poorest feed for mich COWS dur
ing the whole season is the tender i'm
mature grass of early spring. Many
dairymen do not realize this, or if they
do, pay 80 little heed to it that they are
losers every year.
IT never pays to increase the number
that every cow you already possess, is
yielding every drop of milk she is capa-
BILE Of. But few dairymen need more
COWS, although there is not one out Of
hundred bnt what needs better ones.
KICKS are costly, for every savage
kick you give your COW knocks dollar
off from her value as milk producing
animal. A hired man whom you can
not trust to be kind to the COWS behind
your back, would be very costly per-
son to have around if he worked for his
board.
THIS promises to be decidedly good
cheese year. The cheese factory sys-
tenn is experiencing boom that prom
ises to benefit every one connected with
IL, provided manufacturers do their ut
most to turn out apeerless quality of
stock. In this they must have the
earnest cooperation of their dairy
brethren, who will further their own
interests by furnishing them good milk.
AS to the profitableness of granting
COWS while on grass, that will depend
on circumstances. A good pasture
would not necessitate this, and the
making of a good grazing lot is as much
in the power of man as in nature. Ex-
pend the money that you would pay for
grain in summer, to clean the briars,
stones and debris, from the pasture,
that thick mating of grass may cover
all OF it, and on such grazing you will
lind that the COWS cannot gain through
extra feed.
A DAIRYMAN once told me that he
had the best "butter pasture" in that
section. He seemed to think that there
was some mysterious attribute about it
that made his COWS yield extra rich
milk. went on purpose to his farm
to see this wonderful pasture, and
found rolling field well watered,
partly shaded, and covered with rich
growth of white clover and mixed
grasses. Here then was the secret of
the " butter PASTURE" simply an abun-
dance of the right kind of feed, and
plenty of pure water.

Live Stock Market.

WESTERN CATTLE.-A good-sized consign-
ment was received for the export trade, and
none offered to home slaughterers.
CALvEs.-The arrivals this week were
smaller by over two hundred, but there was
an increased demand which sent the prices
up at once. The prices last week were
slightly decreased and this weeks rise re-
stored them to their usual value.
EASTERN BEEF CArrLE.-As usual, the
amount Of this stock was barely large
enough for quotation, and but little attens
ton was paid to it by buyers, The consign-
ment on hand, however, found enough pur-
chasers to make clearance at prices about
the same as were obtained last week.
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-The market opened
with even sales on this stock and prices
steady. The consignment was somewhat
less than last week, but this did not seem to
affect the general sales very much and the
stock was quickly bought up. The demand,
however, was not great enough to cause any
rise in prices and they sold for about the
same as was received at last weeks sales. q
