I have attended only one auction this 
Spring, and that was mostly a poultry 
sale. It. I. Reds predominated, and brought 
from 85 cents to $1.05 each for pens con¬

varied from $15 to $22 per ton according 
to quality and amount sold, while better 
grades, i. e., “horse hay” so-called, sells 
for $25 to $30 per ton. Milch cows are a

Most farmers prefer private sales, but 
farm produce brings good prices at auc¬ 
tion. Horses bring from $150 to $250 for 
heavy, $100 and down for lighter. Fresh 
cows', $60 and down ; registered Holsteins,

Little Genesee, N. Y. 
Very backward Spring; April has been a 
cold sour month. Very little plowing dom 
as yet, no oats sown. Work will come in 
a lump when the weather becomes settled. 
Farmers are trying to spray (April 30 1 
when the wind does not interfere. We are 
using the lime and sulphur for the first 
spray, and for the second after the bloon. 
has fallen will put in arsenate of lead. 
Farmers are taking more care of their or 
chards than usual. Grass lands look good, 
but wheat is not as good as usual, being 
winter killed with ice and water. Alfalfa 
fields are looking good. The season for 
maple sugar was a failure. Our town has 
purchased a new steam roller and stone 
crusher to be used in improving our ways. 
There seems to be a scarcity of good seed 
corn. I have just shipped 30 bushels to 
Vermont for seed, and have a fine lot left 
for sale. Horses have been higher than 
usual this Spring, some teams selling for 
$550. The prospect for peaches seems to 
be good. Wheat $1.05; barley $1.25; oats 
60 cents; corn 85 cents ; potatoes, 90 cents; 
butter 28 cents; eggs 18 cents; veal, 7% 
cents; pork seven cents; young pigs $3 
Timothy hay $25; Alfalfa $22; wool from 
19 to 22 cents, acordlng to quality. Some 
fruit is being put out. E. T. b.

There are no auction sales in this vicln 
ity. To get prices we take quotations In 
Boston papers, deduct freight, cartage, com 
mission and any other deduction that the 
goods could possibly be subject to, and then 
guess what your check will look like; one 
man’s guess is as good as another’s; e. g., 
I shipped a car of hay to Boston, it was 
worth from $20 to $23. freight $2.40, com¬ 
mission $1, netted $12 at station. The 
next week a man buying for same concern 
I shipped to paid $15 at narrow gauge sta 
tion where freight was 75 cents more to 
Boston, and a lot poorer hay than mine. 
Potatoes quoted $2.75 to $3.10, two bushel 
bags, freight on 600 bushels or more six 
cents per bushel, bagging 3% cents, coni 
mission four, if in bulk shrinkage 10 to 15 
bushels, $15 extra for heater car. Freight 
on apples less than car 36 cents a barrel; 
cartage, five; commission, 20 cents; buyers 
now paying from $2 to $2.50 for No. 1 
lately. Cows, from $35 to $70 generally; 
occasionally some sell from $70 to $200. 
Nine Holsteins sold here this week for 
$1800. Oxen, seven feet and over, $200 to 
$300 per pair. I bought some Shropshire 
sheep last Fall for $5 apiece. No silage 
sold and not much put up. Butter fat is 
bringing 37 cents per pound ; skim-milk, 25 
cents per 100. G. v. h.

Tires—10 
Ten Years Spent Getting Ready for 
This Sensational Success 
No-Rim-Cut tires have seemed to come like a 
meteor into the leading place in Tiredom. In two 
years the sales have increased 500 per cent. They 
have trebled in the past 12 months. 
Now these new-type tires by far outsell any other 
Testing 240 Materials Cutting Tire Bills in Two 
tire in existence. But this, remember, is our 13th year. 
Some of those years were spent in darkest obscurity. 
Ten of those years were spent perfecting this tire. 
So this amazing success has big reason behind it. 
It has come through slow progression. 
We started tire making 13 years 
ago by bringing to our plant the 
best experts we knew. And we kept 
on bringing them. For nobody 
knew in those days how to meet 
automobile conditions. 
To prove ideas quickly, we built 
testing machines, where four tires 
at a time are worn out under every 
road condition. 
There we have tested some 200 fab¬ 
rics—some 40 formulas for treads. 
There we have tested every method 
of making, of wrapping, of vul¬ 
canizing. 
Every material and method was 
compared by actual mileage, on 
this metered machine of ours. Thus 
year after year we increased tire 
mileage, and lessened tire troubles. 
Thus we finally brought the Good¬ 
year tire about as close to perfection 
as men ever will get it. 
Then we started on other savings. 
Records on thousands of ruined 
tires showed 23 per cent had been 
rim-cut. 
This led to the invention of No- 
Rim-Cut tires. This patent type 
has made rim-cutting impossible. 
It saves tire users that 23 per cent, 
by a method which we control. 
10% Oversize 
Next we dealt with blow-outs, due 
to overloading tires. We made No- 
Rim-Cut tires 10 per cent over the 
rated size. 
That means 10 per cent more air- 
10 per cent added carrying capacity. 
And that, under average conditions, 
adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage. 
These two features together, with 
tens of thousands of motorists, have 
cut tire bills right in two. 
8&% Profit 
Then we aimed to sell these per¬ 
fect tires for the least price possible. 
AKRON, OHIO 
No-Rim-Cut Tires 
With or Without Non-Skid Tread# 
Our multiplied output aided in this. 
So did our modern equipment. 
No-Rim-Cut tires used to cost 
one-fifth more than other standard 
tires. We have brought them to an 
almost equal price. And our profit 
last year, despite all our facilities, 
was but 8J4 per cent. 
200,000 User# 
It was ten years from the start 
before men woke to these tires. 
Then one told another, and the tide 
of demand developed like a flood. 
Now over one million have gone 
into use. Sales have doubled three 
times in two years. Now some 
200,000 motor car owners insist on 
these premier tires. You will also 
insist when you know them.
