NEW YORK. 
BUTTER. 
The week has brought both an advance and a 
decline, so that prices remain about as last re¬ 
ported, though the market tone is weaker. 
There iS the usual small demand for something 
iK'tter than the average of top grades, and 
where such lots are found there is no difficulty 
in getting a premium. The irregular quality of 
Winter butter is a source of constant trouble. 
Some creameries apparently tliink they can work 
off a few tubs of poor churnings with the better 
lots. The attitude of receivers toward such 
cases varies. Rome complain, and others merely 
adjust tlie prices and say nothing, lint in the 
end the shippers are sure to suffer for any at¬ 
tempted deception of this sort. Packing stock 
and city made grades are dull.

CUEERE. 
Business in old cheese is liglit, but prices are 
onc-lialf cent higher. Rupplies are so small that 
holders are not auxious to force trade. In new 
make conditions are a trifle easier, with some 
pxiwrt inquiry, though shipping conditions are 
such that but little can be done In this line at 
present.

Tlie decline last reported has cont: ued, 
though there is some reaction at this writing. 
With six weeks of what is ordinarily the worst 
Winter yet to come, cliecks on production inay 
make temporar.v jtrlce increases. Nearby white 
are clearing out better, as there is less trouble 
with small sizes. The few storage remaining are 
held strongly.

DRERRET) POULTRY. 
In fresli-kllled stock chickens are averaging 
lK)or. Demand for turkeys is light, barely 
enough to take the scanty supplies at tlie liigh 
prices asked. Ciipons arc in larger receipt, but 
many are too tliiii to liring within 10 cents of 
the top price. They should weigh at least 8 or 9 
pounds, and 10 for the best trade. Rome lots are 
se«m averaging but little over five pounds. Tlielr 
frames are large, but they have not had enough 
to eat. TTnless one is prepared to feed them to 
the limit they might better be disposed of In the 
Fall at chicken prices. Large fowls and old 
roosters are exceptionally 1 igh. Business in 
frozen poultr.v is liglit. as siiecuIatorS feel that 
eoiiditious warrant a linn holding.

The market on choice aiiples is strong, owing

All In The Day^s Work 
DelcoLight actually pays for itself in time and labor saved in doing 
the household chores. 
Here is a sample day’s work for Delco-Light, on the farm of A. L. Denlinger, near 
Engel wood I Ohio. 
—“ground 150 lbs. of sausage meat—churned 90 lbs. of cream—turned 
the washing machine and wringer for large family wash—separated 
25 gallons of milk. And after all of this work, my wife had plenty 
of time to bake bread. During the evening, some of the neigh¬ 
bors drove in and we had a pleasant time under Delco-Light.” 
Delco-Llght betters living conditions on the farm. It furnishes an abundance of 
clean, economical, safe light for house and outbuildings. It makes possible a 
modern bath and running water in various parts of the 
house, and it furnishes power for small farm machines. 
Delco-Light is a complete electric jjower plant—wonderfully 
compact, economical and efficient—and so simple that 
a child can care for it.

•-Planet Jr? 
No. 72 
This is what T. D, Buchanan, Clrosse Isle, Mich., says of Planet Jr Cultivators and 
Seeders. Planet Jrs are so scientifically designed and skilfully made that they save 
time, lighten labor, and produce bigger and better crops. 
No. 72 Planet Jr 2-row, 2-horse Pivot-wheel Cultivator saves a man, 
a team, and a cultivator every day it is used. Cultivates two rows of corn, potatoes, 
beans, etc., at one passage, even if rows are crooked or irregular width. In check. 
rows and listed corn it also beats any other tool. Has spring 
I lift. Can be equipped with spring-trip standards, discs. 
Sweeps, hoe steels and furrowing shovels. Specially 
hardened cultivating steels add 50 per cent to wear. 
Eight styles—various prices. 
Planet Jrs range from these big 2-horse imple- 
'ments for large acreage down to the light hand- 
cultivators for the family garden. 
No. 12 Planet Jr Double and Single Wheel- 
Hoe Combined is the greatest hand-cultivating 
tool in th« world. It straddles crops till 20 inches 
high, then works between rows with one or two 
wheels. The plows open furrows and cover 
them. The cultivator teeth work deep or shal- 
J low. The hoes are wonderful weed-killers.
