We here in Missouri are having 
record breaking seasons this year; a very 
wet and cool Summer, cool August with 
one light frost in September, warm Oc¬ 
tober with one light frost, October 9; 
November till the Gth very warm days 
and nights without any frost at all,

Mocking birds singing, chimney sweeps 
circling in the air like in Symmer, but¬ 
terflies flying around. We’re still picking 
Progressive strawberries. Fall-sown spiu- 
nach for Spring is large enough to cut.

of mine has about 3,000 bushels of pota¬ 
toes, 25,000 pounds of onions, 1,800 
bushels of carrots and a carload of cab¬ 
bage. c . G. 
Columbia Falls, Mont. 
Good near-by springers (black and 
white) sell for from $65 to near $100; 
cows coming fresh another Spring around 
$50; not much beef grown here; ship¬ 
pers or bologna cows about 5c per pound. 
Dairy products in this section are most¬ 
ly milk, and this is largely governed by 
the Bordens and the Phoenix Cheese Co., 
some few make butter and it finds a local 
market at 30c to 36c per pound; some 
cheese is mad in the outlying districts, 
but it is mostly sold upon the market 
quotations of the cities. Fruit not much 
grown, only apples, and they bring from 
75c to $1 per bushel in our local mar¬ 
ket, non shipped out. But very little 
gardening done in this section, only a 
few near towns and villages excepting po¬ 
tatoes, and they are the poorest crop in 
many a year, many farmers not having 
enough for family use, selling in a local 
way for ?oc to $1 per bushel. 
Burlington Flats, N. Y. j. b. c.

40c per bu., large crop; potatoes SO, 
some rot, short crop. Fresh eggs 40c, 
scarce. Milk delivered at station $1.70 
per 100 pounds. There seems to be such 
a wide range in the value of cows, as 
there are too many grades, but choice 
springers are worth from $100 to $125 
each. o. A. P.

are low, even beef is low. Butter is 
scarce and high, selling for 35c; eggs are 
high and still going higher. Potatoes 
are selling here for 60c per bu.; beans 
$4 per bu. Good apples are scarce and 
high. Farmers received a fair yield of 
sweet corn this year averaging around 
$60 to the acre. c. f. n. 
Albion, Me. 
This has not been a very good year for 
farmers in this section; the season has 
been very wet, and this no doubt has been 
the cause for a very light crop of pota¬ 
toes. Although the quality was never 
better,the yield was away below the av¬ 
erage, about two-thirds of last year 
planted, and about one-half yield, * the 
price averaged this week at sidings, $ 1.75 
per barrel, A very light crop of apples; 
in fact not more than 15 per cent, yield. 
Hay crop light, grain fairly good; no 
Alfalfa. Sweet clover or vetch has been 
raised to speak of; corn for factories ma¬ 
tured fairly well; yellow corn did not 
feme up to the average, owing to the very 
wet weather. This has been a very suc¬ 
cessful year for poultry raising; the 
prices for eggs and poultry have been 
fairly good all season. Early hatches did 
fairly well, although not many turkeys 
or geese have been raised. There has 
been a tendency to increase the herds, and 
better cow barns have been built all over 
the county. Horse raising has not in¬ 
creased in this section. It is very no¬ 
ticeable that plowing has increased con¬ 
siderably above average this Fall.
