PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
The Borden milk schedule to producers 
for the six months beginning with April 
is as follows, compared with last year. 
This is per 100 pounds in the 26-cent 
zone. For the 29 and 32-cent zones the 
schedule is 10 cents less for all months:

Figuring 
86 pounds to the 
40-quart 
can the per 
■ quart price is as 
follows : 
April, 3.01 
cents; May, 2.47 
; June, 
2!36; July, 
2.68; August, 3.01; 
Septem- 
her, 3.22. 
Miscellaneous wholesale prices at New 
York are mainly as previously reported, 
$1.81 and $1.71 per 40-quart can for B. 
and C., though less of the latter is arriv¬ 
ing because of health board restrictions. 
* 
Butter has declined three cents during 
the week, best creamery now wholesaling 
at 25 cents. A great effort is being made 
to get rid of the storage creamery, 
prices on medium grades having been 
cut to 19 to 21 cents. The small amount 
of fancy State dairy arriving brings 24 
cents, but most receipts are of lower 
grades, worth only 18 to 20. 
* 
Old cheese, particularly colored stock, 
is very scarce, and one cent higher. The 
supply of white is a little larger, but 
the market as a whole is in strong posi¬ 
tion. Prices in Canada at present are 
too high to encourage imports from that 
country. The low prices of butter and 
high figures for cheese are naturally 
turning more milk than usual into the 
latter, so that the output of new cheese is 
expected to be considerably increased. 
* 
The egg market is unsettled, prices 
running eight to nine cents per dozen 
lower than last week. Receipts for two 
days at New York ran over a million 
dozen. The top wholesale price for fresh 
eggs is 22 cents. This includes every¬ 
thing but large whites under special con¬ 
tract, and casual sales to customers who 
are looking for something extra choice 
and willing to pay a premium for it. 
Prices are now on a level with last year. 
* 
The embargo on potatoes from Hoi- 
land has now been removed by the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture, as that country 
is considered free from the diseases 
which caused the quarantine.

Captain Polack, of the North German 
Lloyd, has just made his 200th trip 
across the Atlautic. He has been work¬ 
ing for the company since 18S6, and a 
captain since 1897.

Port Arthur, in Southeastern Texas, 
leads all ports in this country in grain 
shipment, the movement there in 1913 
being 203,000,000 bushels, which is 25,- 
000,000 bushels ahead of the next larg¬ 
est port, Buffalo. 
* 
The number of domestic animals in 
Germany, according to one of our con¬ 
suls, is as follows: Poultry, 82,474,317; 
hogs, 21.S85.073; cattle, 20.15S.738; 
horses, 4,510,297; sheep, 5,7S7,S4S; 
goats, 3,383,971; hives of bees, 2,619,- 
891. 
* 
Our trade balance, that is the excess of 
our exports over imports, for the seven 
months ending January 31, was about 
$454,000,000. Our exports for this per¬ 
iod totalled $1,522,100,000. Our largest 
customers are England, Germany, Can¬ 
ada and France. 
* 
The telephone combination had net 
profits of $32,920,090 to turn over to 
stockholders January 1, making a divi¬ 
dend of 9.55 per cent. The number of 
daily telephone connections averaged 27,- 
237,000. and there is a 16,111,011 mile¬ 
age of wire.

The wool market in the East has been 
very dull. Some recent prices are: Mich¬ 
igan and New York, unwashed Delaine, 
22 to 22% ; Ohio half blood combing. 24 
to 25; Kentucky, three-eighths blood, un¬ 
washed, 23 to 24. Shipments of wool 
from Australia to the United States for 
seven months past amounted to $1,556,- 
255. w. w. H. 
—You Can Feed Them BETTER on Food That Costs a Lot Less 
R UNNING your cream separator at the wrong- speed leaves one-fifth to one-half of the cream 
m the skim milk which you feed to your hogs. Yet nobody on earth can turn the handle 
cf a separator at the right speed by “guess." 
The Stewart Speed Indicator stops all the waste and pays you 20% to 50% more butter- 
money because it keeps you turning exactly the proper number of revolutions per minute. 
The “Kansas Farmer" says—"It is easy to lose the butter-fat (cream) of 2 or 3 cows in 
a . ° r 12 cow herd by incorrect cream separator turning.” Dairymen have lost thousands 
of dollars just that way. But NOW hundreds of long-headed dairymen are saving the cream 
they used to waste—saving it by using a Stewart Speed Indicator on their separators. The 
Stewart Speed Indicator 
for Cream Separators 
goes on the crankshaft and shows how fast you are turning the crank-handle. The maker of 
your separator has already told you just how fast to turn it. If he says “55 revolutions" he 
means just that many—not even one more or one less per minute. 
Ju*t Watch the Stewart 
Keep your eye on it. as you turn the crank-handle. If it says “55,” then you are cranking 
at the rate of 66 revolutions per minute. If it goes above or below that mark you must slow 
down or speed up, as the case may be. Keep it right there. No counting or timing is ever 
necessary—the Stewart tells at a glance. 
“A Great Saving of Cream” 
Walter L. Griffith of Wisconsin writes us: I find that the 
Stewart Indicator is a great help in many ways. I have found 
heretofore when separated milk stood, that cream would rise on it. 
but since using your Indicator there has been absolutely none, which 
in the cost of a year's time will amount to a great saving of cream. 
Also the cream gives a higher test and seems to be more even and 
of a better quality.” 
One dairyman with 20 cows lost $524.10 in a year by 
guessing at the speed he was turning the crank handle. 
Another dairyman writes that he has 8 cows and that 
guesswork lost him $18.60 in one month. 
How about YOU? Are you willing to throw cream to 
the hogs ? Put a Stewart Speed Indicator on your separator 
and watch results. If it does not increase your cream pro¬ 
duction, then take it back within 30 days and get your money. 
Price $10—Easy To Put On 
All you have to do is to tell us the name and number of your 
separator, and the year it was made. We furnish the Stewart com¬ 
plete on a new crankshaft that you can easily install—all for $10. 
(If yours is a De Laval, then no extra crankshaft is necessary.)
