CROP AND MARKET NOTES—Continued. 
indicate the Uarpest and poorest crop of turkeys 
ever known. Good, fat birds will bring good 
prices, but poor, thin turkeys wilt not be wanted 
at any price. Farmers must feed and fatten or 
else sell for culls. 
Some very fine iive turkeys received from Ohio 
b 5 ' e.vpress, brought 10 to 11 cents per pound, 
while average turkeys did not e.xceed 7 to 8 cents. 
So much for quality. 
A recent oflici.al estimate of the pot.'ito crop of 
Michigan gives the total average for the northern 
counties as 47, for the central counties, 46, for the 
southern counties, 4.8, and total for the State, 44 
per cent of a full average crop. 
Many recent arrivals of live ducks and geese, 
have had insufficient water on the road, and have 
suffered greatiy in consequence. Many of them 
were sick, some dead, and all that were sold 
brought low j)rices. Shippers cannot afford to 
overlook arrangements for feeding and watering, 
and making everything comfort.able for the stock. 
IIOWAKD County, Mo. —An unusual amount of 
cattle feeding is being done in this vicinity. Feed¬ 
ers are paying from 3.5 to .37‘/S cents for corn. 
About two-thirds of a crop of corn was raised 
here. Wheat was good. Apples were a fair crop; 
some orchards were too far advanced when the 
March freeze came. c. v. ii. 
Adams Coitnty, Nkb.—O ne can have no idea of 
the destitution which prevails in this State; noth¬ 
ing like it was ever known before. People have 
to do without, even the necessaries of life, although 
I am ashamed to say that tobacco and liquor 
must be had, even though papers and food are 
sacrificed, in many in.stances. Thousands are 
leaving. Whole towns ai-e being depojnilated. 
Caravans of white-covered wagons pass each day, 
ali going East or South—some as far as New 
York. F. c. J. 
Grundy County, Ili..—T he corn crop in this 
vicinity is good. Few hogs are raised here for 
market. Oats were a good crop. Potatoes are 
alK)ut half a croj); the summer drought stopped 
their growth. Good land rents for $;i..50 to $3 per 
acre. Tame hay was a fair crop ; wild hay was 
scarcely worth cutting. The fall rains have 
started the grass .so that everything looks like 
spring (e.xcept the corn fields). Honey is about 
two-thirds of a crop, with good prospects for next 
year. m. b. 
A committee of seven was aijpointed at the re¬ 
cent Springfield meeting of stockmen, to i)repare 
a revised classification for live stock to be sub¬ 
mitted to the various State fairs. There will be a 
general meeting of exhibitors and all other inter¬ 
ested parties, at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, 
on the evening of Monday, Novemljer 36, at 8 
o’clock, at which the stockmen of the entire coun¬ 
try are invited to l>e present and submit any sug¬ 
gestions they may have to make in regard to a 
proper revision of the premium lists. .41vin H.

Butte Cqunty, Cal.— We are sorry to say that 
our farmers iire inclined to stick to wheat until 
they have wheat on the brain, a mortgage on their 
farms and chattel mortgages on everything else. 
There are great numbers of fine orchards in this 
community, but nine-tenths are rented by the 
Chinamen. All gardens were in their hands until 
this year, when an Anti-Chinese league is trying 
to enable white men to raise and seil their i)rod- 
uce at a j)rofit. But they hjive a hard row to hoe, 
as the Chinamen can huddle together and live 
where white men would starve to death. The 
famous Rancho Chico orchard, comprising over 
1,500 acres, has all been leased to them. It has 
heretofore given employment to more than 100 
boys and girls during the summer months. We 
find The K. N.-Y. the best farmer’s paper we take; 
it gives us an insight into the most prosperous 
Eastern farmers’ methods of culture. We are try¬ 
ing Ci-imson clover for the first time ; it will gi-ow 
here all winter we think. We have 80 acres in 
Alfalfa and will sow about 20 acres more this fall. 
W’e cut three crops of Alfalfa where we only had 
one of grain hay before. We experimented with 
Tall Oat grass and it withstood our dry summer ; 
we think it a success. Our farm consists of 2H 
acres of almonds, 75 acres of orchards, 15 acres of 
mangels, 20 of corn fodder, 50 of barley, 60 of pas¬ 
ture, and 120 of hay crops. We feed all on the 
place. G. B. 
Churn for a Small Dairy. —Can you give any 
information as to the best churn for a small 
farmer? We have the barrel and swing churns, but 
remember that along in the forties there was a 
churn that had a pinion on the dasher, which was 
run by a section of a wheel attached to two 
handles. Is there a churn of that kind now? 
c. c. l. d. 
Ans.—T here are several t/oocl churns; the best is 
the one that is operated with the most skill and 
intelligence. The Davis swing and the bari’el 
churns are as good as any—good enough to satisfy 
most dairymen. We don’t know anything about 
the other churn referred to.

women often feel 
the effect of too 
much gayety— 
balls, theatres, and 
teas in rapid 
succession find 
them worn out, or 
“run-down” by 
the end of the sea¬ 
son. They suffer 
from nervousness, 
sleeplessness and 
irregularitie.s. The 
smile and g'ood 
is time to accept 
the help offered in Doctor Pierce’s P'a- 
vorite Prescription. It’s a medicine which 
was discovered and u.sed by a prominent 
physician for many years in all cases of 
‘female complaint” and the nervous dis¬ 
orders which arise from it. The “Pre¬ 
scription” is a powerful uterine tonic and 
nervine, especially adapted to woman’s 
delicate wants for it regulates and promotes 
all the natural functions, builds up, invig¬ 
orates and cures. 
Many women suffer from nervous pros¬ 
tration, or exhaustion, owing to congestion 
or to disorder of the special functions. The 
waste products should be quickly got rid 
of, the local .source of irritation relieved 
and the system invigorated with the “ Pre¬ 
scription.” Do not take the so-called 
celery compounds, and nervines which 
only put the nerves to .sleep, but get a 
lasting cure with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite 
Prescription. 
“FEMALE WEAKNESS.” 
Mrs. Wibi.iAM Hoover, of Bellville, 
Richland Co., Ohio, 
writes: “ I had been 
a great sufferer from 
‘ ft male weakness ; ’ 
I tried three doc¬ 
tors ; they did me 
no good ; I thought 
I was an invalid for¬ 
ever. But I heard 
of Dr. Pierce’s Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription, 
and then I wrote to 
him and he told me 
j ust how to take it. 
I took eight bottles. 
I now feel entirely 
well. I could .stand Mrs. Hoover. 
on my feet only a short time, and now I do 
all my work for my family of five.”

THE 
Cows Demand 
that their owners shall make effort to educate them¬ 
selves in Dairy Truth. For years they have furnished 
the main revenue of the farm, and now demand that 
the owner invest one dollar a year as a subscription 
to Hoarh’.s DAIKY.MAN, that he may receive the 
varied experiences and teachings of the most success¬ 
ful dairy fanners in the country. 
THE 
Cows Deserve 
your attention on this matter and ajipeal to you 
for more intelligent care, feeding and breeding, and 
handling of their products. They want you to recog¬ 
nize the fact that the experiences of successful dairy¬ 
men will help you. Study your business, for by in¬ 
creasing your knowledge you increase your revenue, 
and in other ways make your life worth living. Dairy 
farming Is like handling edged tools that cut only 
profits when Improperly directed. 
THE 
Cows Are Right! 
And common sense demands that every farmer who 
expects to make money from his cows shall spend at 
least a dollar a year for his own guidance and Instruc¬ 
tion. The Editors and Uorrespondents of Hoakh’s 
Daiky-MA.v are practical men trained In the dairy 
business. The paper Is recognized as the leading
