a rule, cover either the highest or lowest sales, but 
show what the bulk of con winners of moderute 
means pay lor small quantities of produce bought 
lu Fulton, Washington, Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and up-town grocery stores. "Retail” is rather 
an indefinite word, hut in this column it means 
le6s than barrel or other original package lots of 
fruit* and vegetables, less than tubs of butter, 
cases of eggs, etc. The trade of commission mer¬ 
chants is strictly wholesale. The retail prices

17-Year Locusts Coming. 
I hare received from the experiment 
station a paper telling us that the 17- 
year locust is due here next Spring. What 
harm do we have to expect from them? 
Barnegat, N. .T. 
The last visit with us did very lit¬ 
tle damage. A few shoots of young 
trees were injured, but the injury was 
not serious. We would like to have re¬ 
ports from New Jersey readers. After 
former experience with these locusts would 
you be willing to plant trees as usual 
next season? 
Preparing for Raspberries. 
I would like to start two acres of 
raspberries next Spring. What is the best 
kind to plant, aud the best method of 
preparing the soil? Soil is a sandy loam, 
with gravel subsoil. I have plowed the 
field this Fall aud given a covering of 
manure. Would it bo advisable to sow 
with Crimson clover this Fall, or would 
It winter-kill? u. 
Wayne County, IVunsylvania. 
Do not sow Crimson clover this Fall. 
It will surely winter-kill. Better sow rye 
on the field. That will make a fair 
growth to bo plowed under in Spring. 
THE WHISKY DOLLAR.—Since w r are 
getting at the producers’ share of that con¬ 
sumer s dollar, tin 1 following will he inter¬ 
esting. This statement Is printed on a card 
sent out from “Chester Crest,” the New 
York Christian Home for intemperate Men : 
WHAT YOU GET. 
From a bushel of corn the distiller gets 
four gallons of whisky 
Which retails at .$16.80 
The farmer gets... 225 
The U. S. Government gets . 4.50 
The railway company gets . 1.00 
The manufacturer gets . 4.00 
The drayman gets .15 
The retailer gets . 7.00 
The consumer gets .Drunk 
The church gets the widow and orphans to 
keep. 
Corn is now selling at nearly 60 cents a 
bushel in New' York, while the Western 
farmer probably gets 40 cents. The rest 
of thi' items are about correct, especially 
the last two. 
Galloway 
No Longer a 
“Joke” to His 
Competitors 
Here are 2 jreod

1— Highest Quality. 
2— Lowest Price. 
8—Long Free Trial. 
4—Freight Prepaid

8— Safest Selling 
Plan. 
N OW I’m back again for 1911 with Bigger, 
Better Propositions than ever. Five years 
ago manufacturers of ’’priced-high” ma¬ 
chines took Galloway for a ’’Joke.” Today 
they are wondering how I could build up such 
an enormous business direct with the Farmers 
of America. In such a short time, too. And 
today I have thousands upon tens of thousands 
of satisfied customers among the Farmers of 
America—everywhere. Will you join us? 
Why can’t you and I deal together—direct—without 
a lot of middlemen getting a chunk of your money I 
My success Is not a secret. 
It is an open book. 
I was raised on an Iowa farm. 
My people bought farm Implements the same as other 
farmers. 
They paid the long prices the same as other farmer.! 
paid. 
While using those Implements I got to wondering 
what they actually cost to muke, and when 1 left the 
farm 1 started work for au Implement Manufacturer 
who sold through agents and dealers. 
I found out their tremendous manufacturing profits, 
and the expenses of brokers—jobbers, traveling sales¬ 
men, etc., which they put Into their high prices—all 
paid out of the Farmers’ Pockets. 
Then I went into the manufacturing business myself 
They dldn’tsee how I could dolt—with my small means 
and a family to tako care of. 
But I knew that the Farmers would be with me If I 
gave them high quality and square deal—sold direct, 
and gave them the savings on my wholesale factory 
prices. 
And you never saw me starting to make any machine 
except what the Dealers and Manufacturers get the long 
price for. 
And yon never will. 
Here’s my Galloway Line, and you’ll find that my 
prices save yon from *25 to *300 on any Galloway ma¬ 
chine, according to what you want, front the smallest 
capacity to the largest: 
Manu re Spreaders—Gasoline Engines— Cream Separa¬ 
tors, etc.—(and watch out for my Automobile An 
nonneement before long.l 
I want YOU YOURSELF to know my "See It 'Work” 
Flan. 
I’ll give you every chance—with NO RLSK TO YOU. 
Whose pocket Bhall the money jingle in—yours or 
the dealer’s! 
I want to hear from you and It won’t cost you anything 
to make this Independent Investigation. 
Will YOU write me this time!
