Wholesale  Prices  at  New  York. 
Week  ending  April  21,  1916. 
The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  are  what  they  sell  for — not  neces¬ 
sarily  their  food  value  or  what  some  one 
thinks  or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Hence 
representative  sales  rather  thau  opinions, 
even  though  unbiased,  are  the  correct 
basis  for  quotations.  Except  in  cases 
where  quality  is  standardized  by  scoring, 
the  top  grade  refers  to  the  best  on  sale 
at  the  time.  The  best  sheep,  lambs,  ap¬ 
ples.  pears,  etc.,  one  week  may  be  much 
better  or  poorer  than  the  next.  ^

The  Borden  prices  for  six  months,  be¬ 
ginning  with  April,  make  no  quotation  on

BUTTER. 
The  market  as  a  whole  has  been  weaker 
and  part  of  the  time  one  to  two  cents 
under  last  week’s  range.  There  were 
some  temporary  shortages  owing  to  slow 
railroad  work,  but  reports  from  interior 
points  show  increasing  supplies,  and  the 
probability  of  lower  prices  soon.  City 
made  and  packing  stock  have  been  quite 
well  cleared  out,  so  that  the  market 
on  these  grades  is  in  stronger  posi¬ 
tion  than  for  some  time.

Some  export  business  is  developing, 
mainly  between  16  and  17  cents.  Local 
trade  is  light,  and  the  price  range  for  all

Receipts  are  very  heavy,  but  demand 
for  the  Easter  trade  is  large,  and  any 
surplus  of  suitable  grades  is  being  moved 
into  storage  quickly.  A  rather  large  busi¬ 
ness  is  being  done  at  the  new  Butter  and

Shield-budding  the  Mango 
Seedling  mangos  are  ready  for  budding 
when  they  are  about  a  meter  high.  Bud- 
wood  should  be  taken  from  the  first,  sec¬ 
ond,  and  third  growth,  well  matured,  from 
the  end  of  a  branch.  Such  bud  wood  is 
always  green  and  smooth. 
About  three  weeks  in  advance  of  the 
date  when  the  budding  is  to  be  performed 
cut  off  the  leaf  blades  of  the  selected  bud- 
wood  while  still  on  the  tree.  This  causes 
the  leaf  stalks  to  drop.  When  the  scars 
are  well  healed  the  budwood  is  in  condi¬ 
tion  for  budding.  (See  Fig.  251.  page  685.) 
The  buds  should  be  cut  about  four  cen¬ 
timeters  long  with  am  ample  wood  shield, 
and  inserted  in  the  stock  at  a  point  where 
the  bark  is  preen  and  smooth,  like  the 
budwood.  not  brownish  or  grayish  and 
rough.  Use  waxed  tape  for  tying  and 
cover  the  entire  bud.  When  in  the  course 
of  two  to  three  weeks  a  good  union  has 
formed,  unwind  the  wrapping  and  expose 
the  leaf  bud.  and  cut  off  the  top  of  the 
stock  10  to  15  centimeters  above  the  bud. 
Thereafter,  promptly  rnb  off  the  wild 
sprouts  whenever  they  appear  iu  order  to 
assist  the  inserted  buds  to  make  a  growth, 
which  otherwise  frequently  are  very  dila¬ 
tory  in  starting.  When  the  buds  have 
made  a  growth  of  about  30  centimeters 
cut  off  the  stock  immediately  above  the 
bud. 
Note :  The  budding  knife  should  be 
kept  clean,  and  the  edge  so  sharp  that  it 
readily  shaves  the  hair  on  the  forearm.

Some  Farmers  Still  Use  Oil  Lanterns 
to  Light  Their  Barns 
Of  course  —  back  in  the  old  days  —  30  years  ago  —  you 
couldn’t  get  anything  better.  But — these  last  few  years  have 
so  changed  living  conditions  that  up-to-date  farm  families 
won’t  be  satisfied  any  longer — with  poor  light. 
The  modern,  farmer  is  quick  to  see  the  value  of  good  light — 
its  safety  and  the  convenience  it  brings  him  and  his  family.  There 
are  now  hundreds  of  thousands  of  farmers  who  have  chosen  the 
Pilot-Carbide-Outdoor 
Lighting  and  Cooking  Plants

bright,  inexpensive  light  they  can  use — 
but  cooking  fuel  as  well. 
This  wonderful  machine  stands  out  of 
doors— on  top  of  the  ground,  anywhere.  It 
has  totally  changed  the  old  -  fashioned 
methods  of  barn  and  house  lighting. 
You  can  now  flood  your  barn  with  safe 
brilliant  light — instantly.  No  matches 
needed .  No  dangerous  lanterns  to  tip 
over  or  upset . 
Think  what  this  means  to  you!  Think 
how  much  better  and  quicker  you  can 
work,  with  plenty  of  good  bright  light  in 
place  of  a  smoky,  dim  oil  lantern. 
You  will  find  the  [barn  lighting  feature 
alone  worth  the  entire  investment  for  the 
PILOT.  And  its  use  in  the  house,  as  well, 
means  added  happiness— safety — comfort 
and  convenience  for  your  whole  family. 
Just  because  your  father  and  grandfather 
used  oil  lamps  and  lanterns  is  no  reason 
why  you  should,  any  longer,  put  up  with 
their  danger  and  poor  light.  Light  the 
modern  way,  the  Safeway,  with  the  PILOT.
