BUTTHK. 
The market is one cent higher and in a 
generally stronger position than last 
week, particularly on the better grades. 
A little export business to Europe is 
noted of ladjes and renovated, ranging 
from 22 to 25 cents. Our recent imports 
have been quite large, including 50 tons 
from Argentina. About 25 tons are now 
on the way from New Zealand and Den¬ 
mark, the latter more expensive than our 
present price for extras.

CHEESE. 
Business has been lighter than last 
week, and export inquiry considerably 
less, owing to the increasing price of

EGGS 
Prices have dropped another five cents, 
and large quantities are reported on the 
way. It is quite likely that the decline 
at New York will be greater than at in¬ 
terior points, as after a high market in 
New York shipments all tend this way 
for a time when production increases. 
Many producers will find profit in their 
local markets rather than adding to the 
increasing supply in the great cities. New 
York has recently exported 120,000 dozen 
eggs to Europe and received about 15,000 
dozen from California.

FRESH FRUITS. 
Receipts of barrelled apples have not 
been exceptionally heavy, but demand is 
slow and a larger proportion going at the 
lower range of prices. This, however, is 
because of the heavy percentage of 
shrunken fruit or under grades. .Straw¬ 
berries are moving fairly well, mainly at 
80 to 40 cents.

Heavy speculative business has ad¬ 
vanced wheat five cents. Market on 
corn and oats firm, but less interesting 
to speculators. Cash wheat has sold at 
$1.60 in New York, and $1.50 in Chicago. 
At the same date in Paris it was $ 1 . 59 , 
and in Argentina, $1.29. The highest 
price on wheat in this country in the last 
50 years was in 1867, when it brought 
$2.95 in May. Other high marks since 
then have been $1.79, !n 1877; $1.85 in 
1887 and 1898—both the result of cor¬ 
ners.

THE AUTO-OILED WINDMILL Wl ™ 
Every bearing is constantly flooded with oil. Two quarts of oil in the gear case of this 
8 -foot auto-oiled windmill will keep the gears and every bearing flooded with oil for a 
year or more. 
. T. ho galvanized steel helmet covers the gears, keeps out rain, keeps out dust, keeps 
in oil. The mill needs oiling but once a year. 
There is a windmill, known the world over as “the windmill which runs when all 
others standstill. This new windmill with gears and bearings flooded with oil runs in 
much less wind than that well known windmill. 
The two large gears, which lift the load straight up, are each independent of the other and each 
,s d ”^ en by lts own P inion on the mam shaft and must take its half of the load at all times. 
The auto-oiled windmill, withitsduplicate gears and two pitmen lifting the load straight up, is un- 
" Jjreakable. Every 8-foot mill is tested under a pumping load of 3000 pounds on the pump 
For the larger sizes the load is proportionately greater. We know that 1 
every one of these windmills is unbreakable. We venture the assertion 
that this is the most nearly perfect, best made, best tested, 
best oiled, most nearly perpetual, automatic and self- 
sufficient of any machine of any kind ever made 
. for farm work and the most nearly fool-proof. 
There is no friction on any part of the furl¬ 
ing device when the mill is running and very 
little when'the wheel is furled, 
A small 
child can easilyifurl this 
windmill or an automatic regulator can 
takecare of it. One of these mills has been furled 
10,000 times in one day by a man on our premises—more 
times than it would ordinarily be furled in 30 years of service. 
A band brake, of the automobile type, is used, and it always bolds. 
The gear case contains two pairs of gears and the supply of oil. From this 
gear case the oil circulates to every bearing in a constant stream. It flows out 
through tha friction washers in the hub of the wheel and is automatically returned to 
the gear case. Not a drop of oil can escape. It is used over and over. So long as 
there is any oil in th» gear case the gears and every bearing will be flooded with oil. 
If you are tired of climbing a windmill tower; If you are tired of buying repairs 
and having them put on; or, if you are tired of waiting for a big wind, let us fur¬ 
nish you an unbreakable, self-oiling, ever-going mill to go on any old tower. It 
costs but little and you will get the difference between no water in a light wind 
and an abundance of water in almost no wind. The flooding of all the working 
parts with oil, the perfect balance of the wheel and vane on the tower, the very small 
turntable on which the mill pivots and the outside furling device make this difference. 
Now there is no objection to a high tower. Have as high a tower as you need to 
gat wind. You don’t have to climb it. Your dealer can come once a year and put 
in oil, if needed, and inspect the mill. 
. . Running water purifies itself—stagnant water, standing water, collects and retains impur¬ 
ities. If you pump from your well constantly all the water itlcan spare, the water that comes 
in to take its place will be pure. If the water in your well stands until you happen to want some, 
and you pump but little, then it is likely that surface water will flow into it and carry in im- 
punties. The unsafe well is the one that has standing water. A flowing stream is the thing to be desired. 
The auto-oiled windmill makes all this possible as it can run from one year’s end to the other with 
practically no wear and no cost. If interested, write Aermotor Co., 1146 So. Campbell Ave., Chicago. 
Why not have flowing water, cool in summer and warm in winter, always fresh and pure? It 
will cost next to nothing. It will give health to your family and stock. Let the water run into a 
good size reservoir and raise all the fish of the choice kinds your family can eat, and have water to irrigate 
your garden and make it raise many times as much as it would otherwise. Water costs nothing. Use it. To let it stand is to abuse it 
We need and must have the best dealers everywhere. They need us if they are going to remain in the windmill business. Write right now
