Wholesale Prices at New York. 
Week ending Aug. 27, 1915. 
The commercial values of farm prod¬ 
ucts are what they sell for—not neces¬ 
sarily their food value or what some one 
thinks or wishes they were worth. Hence 
representative sales rather than opinions, 
even though unbiased, are the correct 
basis for quotations.

EGGS 
Receipts are only moderate and mar¬ 
ket in quite strong position except on 
low grades. There is a small movement 
of storage, but prices are not high enough 
to bring out much choice stock. A fully 
developed, hut not hatchable, chicken was 
found in a case of supposedly fancy eggs 
the past week. This is mentioned merely 
to emphasize the need of caution in col¬ 
lecting to make sure that nothing from 
“stolen” nests gets in. The writer has 
seen eggs from such nests sorted by shak¬ 
ing, all not giving a sloshy sound being 
considered suitable for market.

There’s a big fat profit in keeping hosts lice- 
free. Lice stop economic growth. The hog 
that has to waste its energy against the 
scratching post can’t fatten cheaply. Dis¬ 
infect your hog pens with Dr. Hess Dip and 
Disinfectant: dip your hogs with it in mild 
weather or simply add it to the hog wallow. 
It is a sure lice killer on all farm stock and 
prevents disease. 
Dr. Hess 
Dip and Disinfectant 
One gallon makes 70 to 100 gallons solution 
is excellent for sheep dipping; it is a guar¬ 
anteed remedy for sheep scab and ticks; 
it destroys germs and foul odors—in short, 
its use as a disinfectant around your farm 
will keep away disease. Invaluable for dis¬ 
infecting sinks, drains, troughs, garbage 
cans, outhouses, etc. Good alike for home 
and stable. Sold in pint 
bottles, quart, half-gallon,
