BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

FROM W euneSday's Boston journal.
The butter market has maintained n firm
tone for the week past, and all the fine lots of
creamery offered have been disposed OF at
full quoted rates. There is a tendency to
still higher prices at the close, owing to the
high cost OF butter in the country, and the in
dlcatlons are that an advance of half a cent
will be established on the new arrivals, most
OF which are showing full grass flavor This
Is Influenced more by Il speculative demand
than by any increase in the general distri,
button, and receivers. as a rule, are opposed
to the rise, but while buyers are ready to 20
or send orders into the country and compete
for the new make, there is no use in talking
about low prices here.
IL was pretty generally agreed Yesterday
that 1914 to 90 cents would be a conservative
quotation for fine lines of Northern and Yves.
torn creamery this week SAFES were being
made at 1875 to 1884. and, while few sales
had been effected at 20 cents. buyers were I'M
willing to pay over 1914 cents for most OF the
goods offered. But finest Northern lots will
cost nearly 20 cents laid down here and those
who control that kind show disposition to
store rather than let il go at less than 90 cents.
There were plenty of buyers al IS to 1917 cents,
and THIS rate covered a good deal of the stock
wnlcn arrived late last week, but not
showing the fine qualities of later arrivals.
Boxes were in liberal receipt and not easy to
be mad at more than the top price of tubs, say
20 to 20l3 cents.
with large receipts and slow trade, prices
or eggs have eased of. and II was hard to
make sales yesterday. Fresh Eastern range
lots.
The country cheese markets this week have
developed a firmer tone. and more inquiry Is
reported in New York for export, so that the
general situation is more IN favor OF the sell
Ing interest than at any time during the
month. Trade here does not show any ma

Not infrequently horse gets "off its

grain is untouched and possibly its hay
is merely unused over aud not eaten
Ia nearly all such cases the conclusion
is jumped at that the horse is sick
Then, of course, drugs arc the next
thought. The horse needs "toniRg up. :"
aud condition powders. or some condi-
mental "stock TODD" is resorted to, with
a child-like faith that it is good for the
horse. just what it wants." because
somebody, never before heard Of and
that nothing is known about, has said

written by sanity benefactor. Now,
before beginning % dose the horse With
such stuff stuff you can know nothing
Abou.-try a change Of feed. and it will
probably be found that the horse is not
sick at all, save Of the kind Of food that
it may have been compelled to eat three
times day for possibly weeks and weeks.
Some roots or other suoculent food at
such time will be found excellent, sub
stitute fodder corn for hay. aud cnrn or
barley for oats, or vice versa, and give a
bran mash occasionally. warm if Il will

Fitting Horse Collars.

An agricultural report received from
New South Wales describes among other
things q method Of securing a perfect fit
for ready-made horse collar. Select
a collar Of the size and form best suited
to the horse, let it soak 10 water over
night, wipe Of the surplus water in the
morning. put the collar on the horse.
and by means Of the hame straps draw
it snugly to the sides Of the back from
the top TO the bottom; then work the
horse moderately through the day, and
the collar will be better fitted to the
horse and to every inequality Of his
shoulders than the best expert in the
country could do over an inanimate form.
This is the best, the easiest aud most
perfect method Of fitting . collar that
can be recommended. II collars have
been fitted to horses by this method in
the spring, when they we're fat. and they
have been worked down thin in flesh il
will be necessary 10 soak the collar again
and readjust as before

Danger in Handling Fertilizers.

10 view Of Ae general use of bone
dust as fertilizer by farmers and gar
deners, the following case Of anthrax is
Of interest Anthrax is a very fatal dis
ease due to a special bscterium. IL usu-
ally occurs in animals. chiefly cattle /;
but sometimes the germ gains entrance
into the human body, and almost iDvari-
ably causes death. Owing to the trades
in which it usually occurs, it is common
ly known as wool sOrters' or rag pickers'
disease The man was farmer, who
had some slight itching eruption on the
chest. which be frequently scratched -
For two weeks before his death he had
been engaged in sowing different kinds
Of grain along with artificial manure in
the shape of bone dust, his hands. of
course, were covered with the latter. and
he frequently used them for scratching.
10 few days he noticed small pimple.
This gradually grew larger and became
swollen aud iD6amed. The skin grew
darker. being almost black in patches
his face was dusky and livid, he suffered
greatly from difficulty of breathing, aud
died four da after the onset Of the dis
ease. The physician who had charge Of
the csse, after careful examination of
the possible sources Of infection, con
oluded that the man had infected himself
by scratching some Of the bone dust into
the skin on his chest. The obvious
moral to be drawn is that great care
should be used in handling artificial ina
nures, and that very especial precautions
should be taken whenever there is an
open sore or cut on any portion Of the
body likely to be brought in contact
with the fertilizer.

Permanent Place for Melon Patch

4 "a A0hOub AAoo0 IVA AgAVh oSVo'
No doubt it is a good idea TO have one
place to be used constantly for a melon
patch, if place convenient to the house
aud suitable in all other respects can be
found A Kentucky farmer, in one Of
our exchanges. who has adopted the
idea, has this to say Of it:
Last fall and winter had plat Of
ground MANFRED, ploWed and narrowed,
then covered several inches deep with
straw. When gardening season arrived
in tho spring, | made openings in the
straw eight feet apart each way and
planted my melon seed. Of course |
had the insects to fight as usual and con-
siderable replanting to do, but finally
my vines grew and throve wonderfully,
and the place was q pleasing sight to
the melon lover. Melons large and
small poeped through the green vines
and made nests in the soft straw. They
lay in loving proximity, close enough
to make Southern darby beam with
delight I had some Of the largest and
best melons ever saw, and up to the
last of October We had plenty to eat
and spare Of fine, sweet melons, and mine
were the only vines or melons could
hear of in the vicinity. think this q
good. easy plan and will follow it for
melons. tomatoes, potatoes aud cucum-
bers All these do well on straw and
require no other cultivation than start
ing the young plants. 1t will be a
benefit to the ground, which requires
nothing from year to year but an addi-
tional layer Of straw, the thicker the
better. All the work necessary can be
done at odd times when other work is
not pressing. intend to prepare an
other plat this fall and winter, out Of
reach Of chickens. as they scratch the
straw about and let the ground dry and
the weeds grow.
