S IT down right now and write for our 
Free Booklet on Gearless Hay Loaders. 
It is illustrated in colors and will prove val¬ 
uable and interesting reading to every farmer 
who raises hay, alfalfa or beans. The light 
running “ GEARLESS ” rakes the field 
clean and loads the hay carefully upon the 
wagon without thrashing out the seed or 
chewing up the hay in the least. 
It has the long, easy, sweep stroke of the 
hand rake, adjusts itself automatically to the 
quantity of hay whether it be light or in 
windrows. It operates by one man (the 
driver) and can be depended upon every 
hour of the haying season. 
Our booklet tells all about. Drop us a 
postal today.

I WANT FAIR PLAY. 
For 45 years I have fought all forms 
3 of trust combinations, have kept my 
;; prices down where every farmer could 
j buy a first class scale at a fair price 
J and have protected the dealer. Now 
fthe implement dealers largely sub- 
' sidized by the trusts say that if I sell 
my scales to a farmer they won’t let me 
_ sell to any dealer. All right. I am 
ready for the fight. Hereafter my price is the same to all 
Money talks and any responsible man can buy my scales 
on approval to be paid for on agreed terms at dealers 
price. Money talks and your request on a postal card will 
bring you my offer on any kind of a scale that you may 
want, big or little. Money talks and if you have the 
money I nave the scales and the inclination to fight the 
trust which says that no man can buy my scales without 
paying a profit to the dealer. Write me and soon.

PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
The salmon pack of Alaska and the Pa¬ 
cific Northwest for 1910 brought the can- 
ners $19,000,000. 
Colorado mined 12,000,000 tons of coal 
during 1910, 75,000 tons being anthracite, 
and the remainder high-grade bituminous. 
The steamer Honoluluan, has just ar¬ 
rived at Seattle from Baltimore, a 14,000- 
mile journey around the Horn. The trip 
required 5G days; oil was used for fuel, 
14,000 barrels being shipped at Baltimore 
for this purpose. 
Dirty Rye.—I recently examined a lot 
of rye that sold for at least five cents be¬ 
low its real value because it had not been 
well cleaned. A little finer sieve on the 
fanning mill would have taken out the rat 
droppings and straws, which made the 
grain practically unmerchantable. 
Furs. —In making shipments of furs it 
is well to order each lot held separate un¬ 
til the returns are received, so that if the 
price made is not satisfactory the check 
may be returned and the goods sent back 
to the shipper. Any responsible fur house 
will hold shipments separate in this way 
on request, and thus misunderstandings and 
disappointment will be avoided. 
Dressed Poultry. —The Christmas mar¬ 
ket was one of the worst ever experienced 
in New York. Those who had stored 
poultry at Thanksgiving were trying to get 
rid of their stocks on a market that was 
already overburdened with fresh supplies. 
The result was low prices, and all the 
local warehouses filled with poultry that 
could not be sold. One estimate puts the 
surplus at 200 carloads. Speculators were 
able to pick up fancy turkeys at 21 cents, 
and will probably make a little money out 
of them on this basis, as there is a fair 
demand for turkey during January. 
Hay.—“C an you inform me whether hay 
is likely to go up or down?” G. h. 
New York. 
The under grades are dull and selling 
low at present; prime and No. 1 are nearer 
what may be considered the top price for 
those grades. From present appearances 
there is more probability of advance in 
medium and lower grades. Prophesying fu¬ 
ture prices is rather doubtful business, 
however. 
“What do you think of lettuce and as¬ 
paragus growing for shipment to New 
York? The-Co. is going to sell 
them for me.” e. c. 
Wayne Co., N. Y. 
There is always a demand for lettuce 
and for asparagus in its season, provided 
a fine quality can be grown and got to 
New York in good condition. The market 
gets overstocked with both of these things 
at times, but the same is true of all green 
vegetables. The house that you mention 
is considered one of the best dealers in 
vegetables and fruits, and will probably be 
able to get all that the market warrants. 
Nearby growers can get rid of consider¬ 
able low-grade stuff, at prices that make 
a small profit, as it costs hut little to get 
the produce to market, but for a distance 
of several hundred miles it will scarcely 
pay to ship anything but prime asparagus 
or lettuce. Be sure that the lettuce seed 
used is the best that can be had, and the 
same is true of asparagus roots. 
Eggs. —The market is weak on all hut 
strictly fancy white. Storage eggs are be- 
ng urgently offered, a good many having 
reached the limit of profitable storage, 
rhere appears to be considerable misun- 
lerstanding as to what constitutes a white 
;gg in the New York market. Those that 
wing the premium price are pure chalky 
vhite, with no pink or brownish cast. This 
white idea is merely a fad, but those will¬ 
ing to pay for it have as much right to 
lemand the special color desired as to in¬ 
sist that fresh eggs be fresh. Ibe egg 
handler’s room is a place where murder 
juts and dark secrets are brought to light. 
[ was this week looking over a case of 
eggs said to be three days old when 
shipped, making them about a week old 
vhen examined. The candler s fijffit 
showed them to be a mixed lot, a few 
Eresh but mostly shrunken or black 
spotted. 
Canada is making a thorough investiga¬ 
tion of express rates in the Dominion. On 
ill business extending west of the Bake 
Superior regions the Railway Board has 
ordered the companies to file new tariffs 
md a new form of contract within three 
months, stating that in some instances the 
present rates are exorbitant and the con¬ 
tracts unfair. In Canada practically all of 
the express company stock is owned by 
the railroads, the express business being 
merely a subsidiary of the railroad organi¬ 
zation. This subsidiary has been mordin- 
atelv profitable, and the Railroad Board is 
unable to see why express business, which 
is not essentially different froi* 1 * as J; 
freight business, should carry, profits out 
of all proportion to the freight depart¬ 
ment. In the case of the Dominion Ex¬ 
press Company, it is understood that $2V 
500 was originally put into it, $ 1 , 0 UU,uuu 
in stock being issued. This stock has since 
been increased to $2,000,000. the inference 
being that the extra capitalization is made 
solely to whittle down the appearance of 
the profits. This is exactly what express 
companies in the United States have been 
doing, but the Canadian Government seems 
to be unwilling to swallow it calmly. 
Paint and Waterproofing. —I saw the 
advice to use linseed oil to waterproof 
canvas. I have for many years used it. 
but made it one-fourth lard oil. The small 
amount of lard oil doesn’t seem to lessen 
the adhesive nature of the linseed, and 
makes it soft and pliable. I have used 
it for wagon aprons and storm covers for 
horses, also on curtains of our truck 
wagons: it keeps the water out, keeps them 
soft, and they do not cut or break as with 
clear linseed. For several years a mixture 
of petroleum and linseed oil has been used 
in this section as paint for farm build¬ 
ings. One-third linseed will bind, hold, 
or harden the paint, while petroleum 
largely goes in the boards. For barns that 
have been unpainted a long time it does 
very well. My neighbor and myself both 
used it three‘or four years ago, and it 
looks good yet, cost of petroleum about 
13 cents per gallon. s. F. w.
