PRODUCTS, PRICES and TRADE 
Prices current at New York during week ending 
December 22, 1910, wholesale except where other¬ 
wise indicated. The retail prices given do not, as 
a rule, cover either the highest or lowest sales, but 
show what the bulk of consumers of moderate 
means pay for small quantities of produce bought 
in Fulton, Washington, Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and up-town grocery stores. "Retail" is rather 
an indefinite word, but in this column it means 
less than barrel or other original package lots of 
fruits and vegetables, less than tubs of butter, 
cases of eggs, etc. The trade of commission mer¬ 
chants is strictly wholesale. The retail prices 
given are those secured by grocers and small deal¬ 
ers who receive no direct shipments.

Milking Before Calving.—I f the udder 
of a heifer or eow is very full and over 
distended, so that the condition seems to 
be causing the animal pain, 1 think it is 
advisable to relieve the pressure by milking 
before calving. I do not know that any 
trouble is likely to result from the act of 
milking itself, 'but trouble may result 
from the condition which makes it neces¬ 
sary. Feed the animal a ration of good 
hay and corn silage or other succulent feed, 
and a fair allowance of grain, not too rich 
in the heavy concentrates. With this treat¬ 
ment a normal condition of the udder is 
likely to be maintained. If the bowels do 
not move freely give one pound of Epsom 
salts dissolved in a quart of water. See 
that all conditions affecting the health of 
the animal are as near perfect as possible, 
and it will seldom be found necessary to 
milk a heifer before calving.

\ The Winner of the $500 | 
PRIZE ^NjEXornShow^Worcester 
The Grand Prize Acre Grown on Stockbridge. 
The Grand Prize of $500 at the Corn Show was offered 
by this Company for the largest amount of food obtained from 
one acre in the shape of shelled corn, the corn to be grown 
exclusively on Bowker’s Stockbridge Corn Manure. The 
prize was awarded by the Judges to No. 11 who proved to be 
Perley E. Davis of Granby, Mass. His yield at harvest time 
was 127 bushels (flint), containing 43 percent, of water and 
cob, which reduced to 12 per cent, moisture (average in crib- 
dry corn) gave a yield of 103.23 bushels of shelled corn per 
acre. It contained 4934 pounds of actual food (protein, fat, 
sugar, etc.) A new record, perhaps a world record on a sci¬ 
entific basis. 
Mr. Davis is a practical, up-to-date farmer, a graduate of the Massachu¬ 
setts Agricultural College. The seed was an eight-rowed yellow flint, planted 
in drills three feet apart, two kernels every eight to ten inches. The suckers 
and weeds were all removed, also the corn was thinned to one stalk in a place, 
and missing - plants filled in by transplanting. It was a perfect stand. He ap¬ 
plied the fertilizer at three different times, 1900 pounds in all. 
The next largest yield in the contest was 96 bushels of crib-dry shelled 
corn (yellow flint), grown with 1000 pounds of Stockbridge Corn Manure per 
acre. This crop gave 4589 pounds of actual food per acre. 
This contest shows that the Stockbridge Corn Manure produces not only a large 
amount of corn per acre, but with the right kind of seed, a corn rich in food consti¬ 
tuents ; therefore
