same week year ago, 149 cars for BoS-
ton, and 40 cars for export, total Of
279 cars.
The storm and cold weather struck the
market with a pretty full supply of
mutton and lambs at hand, and the
resulting dull trade softened the posi-
ton little, though quotations have
lost but little. Later, trade has been
better. Veals have been very firm, on
a shorter supply. Lambs, 6@Sc; Brigh-
ton fancy, rosie; muttons, 6@7c; Brigh-

No particular additions are being
made to the game supply, and the mar
ket is pretty firm.
Milder weather has brought a better
demand for apples, and the market is
firmer especially for BaldWins, which
are higher: Baldwins, $3@3.5O; green
ings, $275@3.2s; Tolman sweets, $4,000
$50; spies and Kings, 1904; seconds. all

for the week were 1854 bb1s, all to Liver
pool; same week year ago, 4511 bbIs;
total since the season opened, 204, 795
bbls; same time a year ago, 100, 721 bbIs:
same time in 1896, 887, III bbls.
There are no pears on the market, and

Potatoes have been moving better
since the mild weather, and the market
is more steady. There are no sweet
potatoes offering. Aroostook and east

Jersey sweets, nonninaIly, 50 per Dbl.
Lent opens this year for the fish trade
with the market for fresh stock upset
by the storm, and supplies on hand have
been exceedingly light throughout The
week.
There were 20 cargoes in from mis-
cellaneous grounds, and the aggregate
amount of fresh fish landed was only
3SS, 800 pounds. AT Gloucester there
were 10'arriva1s, with 6O3, 900 pounds Of
fresh mixed fish. One vessel also came
in at Gloucester from the banks with
<reSh hal1but to the amount of 5000
pounds.
There were four cars Of halibut in
from the Pacific coast this week, and
they brought 10@11c per pound.
On account of the slim receipts, prices
have ruled high on cod and haddock
most of the week. The top was reached
on Thursday, when as high as 61a cents
per pound was paid for some offerings.
The demand has been diverted in a
measure, therefore, to cured stock Sup
plies of nearly all the staple goods are
diminished in volume, and the market is
quite firm in consequence.

OUR FARMERS.
EXPERIMENT WORK.

"Of all the different breeds of cattle
in our country, there are only three
classes of COWS which can be kept for
profit, the fancy stock for beef, the
| greater mixer, and the butter cow.
The cheese COW we used to hear about
and the general purpose COW, belong
to an extinct variety which never
existed other than in the Imagination
| of their owners. To have a COW for
profit, we must breed with one pur-
pose in view"
The above is quotation from Prof
Woods lecture before the Portland
dairymen. It stirs up Bro. Gilbert
of the Maine Farmer to sharp retort.
He says it is good illustration of
"pure thee retical farming" He also
says: SIT is easy to sit down with pen
Gil in hand, under the light of science
and work out the proof Con paper of
the assertions made in the quotation.
II farmers keep COWS for single pur-
pose, and that alone, then the half
truth contained might expand to a
O0AO chO C11O
gene raj purpose cow be relegated to
an extinct race. But as a matter of
fact, not written in science, farmers
do not keep cows for single pur-
pose.
Bro. Gilbert's conclusion is that ex
pertinent station work return answers
correct possibly for the station, but
misleading to the farmer at large
when taken without qualification.
The mission of the stations is to es-
tablish principle, and not to lay out
code of farming. 1t will not answer
for the farmer to take the station as his
sole guide. He must still make his
own farm an experiment station unto
himself. The principles involved at
the station, in successful farm man
agement must be weighed and
balanced with conditions and sur
roundings as found with each individ-
ual farmer. A station, therefore, is
beyond its province when it assumes
to lay down a code for universal
practice with the dictum, tsthis alone
is right

What have become of the old time
pillow men? asks a correspondent OF
the Country Gentleman. Are they all
dead, or have their hands forgot their
cunning, and their eyesight grew dim?
With the improved plows of to-day it
would seem strange that any one of
moderate intelligence couldn't do a job
of blowing, but not one out of ten
who profess to hold the pillow do good
work, and among those hired on the
farm not one in fifty knows how to do
this work well.
During the last three years, tho
writer says, he has hired considerable
blowing done, both by day and the
acre, by men who profess to know
how, but they we're all about the
same. Anything to get over the
ground, cut and cover. If the pillow
was thrown out there was no backing
up, the unbroken soil being left for
the next furrow to partially cover.
They had little ideas of adjusting the
pillow in changing the draft, etc. and
plowed the same depth for every
kind of crop.

grateful letters from those who have been bene-
flied and cured of the various diseases of the Kid
neys, Liver, Bladder and B iood, Rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia and Chronic Constipation, and all weak

of those who had used the trial bottle had received
such benefit from it that they purchased large
