bler potatoes (about 200 bu.) at ,$1.5,5; 
Bliss Triumph (none rotten, but deep- 
oyed), $1.4,5; one carload of cabbage at 
$11 per ton. About the first of September 
I sold a car of cabbage at $7 per ton. 
Truck crops have fluctuated from nothing 
to high prices in different localities, but 
arc now more uniform and higher. One 
man at Owego, N. Y., is now holding 
1.500 bu. onions for $1.70 per bu. lie 
also has about l,.50O bu. potatoes tor sale 
at about $1.60 per bu., and two or three 
cars of late cabbage. He just .sold his

Clearfield Co., Pa. ■ ■ 
There is no wheat raised here at all. 
and in late years no rye. Oats are raised, 
but no more than is used for home con¬ 
sumption. I’rices now are somewhere 
about from 75c to 80c per bu. Buck¬ 
wheat. on account of the early frosts, 
was of little consequence, and I have not 
heard of any set price per bu.shel. Buck¬ 
wheat flour is sold for from $7 to $8 per 
100 lbs. Corn is prodiiced only for sihage 
purposes; very little raised to maturity. 
Potatoes usually are raised here more 
than is required for home consumption. 
This year the crop is only from one-third 
to one-'half of normal, and they are selling 
from $1.25 to $1..50 per bu. Apples were 
a light crop and very poor. Carden crops 
are raised to quite an extent, but very 
little of it is sold ; used mostly for home 
consumption. Very little butter is made; 
brings about 50c per lb. Cattle are 
bringing good prices. Calves from .$12 to 
$20, according to si/e and grade. Y'ear- 
ling heifers, good stock, from $40 to $50; 
cows, from $60 to $75 ; hogs from 18c to 
20c per lb. a. s. p.

Butter, in small lots, sold privately, 
brings about .50c; sold in larger quantities 
to country stores. 44c to 45c, and deliv¬ 
ered in New York City I get. at present, 
at auction, the price of 02 per cent grade. 
Cattle are bought, locally, live weight, 
for 7c; dressed and in quarters of beef, 
about 1,3c. Just now local creamery is 
closed, but when running pays I.eague 
prices. F. AV. B.

We receive $2.7714 per 100 lbs. for 
September milk testing 4.3 butter fat at 
station. Potatoes, $1.50 a bu., at station. 
Wheat, extra dry, .$2.05 at station. Good 
feeding cattle cost $11 per 100 lbs.; fat

$4.40; wheat, .$4.,3,5; oats, 7Sc to 82c; 
bran. $2.10; middlings, .$2.45; cottonseed 
meal. $2.90; gluten feed, $2.90; hominy 
meal, $.3 .30. These prices are for grain, 
delivered, at retail. There is a discount 
for cash of one cent per bu. on oats, and 
five cents per 100-lb bag on other grains, 
and the same discount if grain is taken 
at the mill, so that “cash at the mill” 
means two cents discount for oats and 10 
cents per bag for other grains. Good 
cows are selling from $125 to $1.50 an I 
more. A. K. S. 
.Essex Co., Mass. 
The principal feednse<l here is corn and 
oats, fed without grinding;. oats to horses 
with corn, corn alone to cattle, with Al¬ 
falfa hay ; in the absence of that, cotton¬ 
seed meal. ^lany depend on silage and 
hay entirely for .stock cattle. Wlien the 
hay is clover it is a good combination. 
Csnally the ptirchased feeds are fed very 
sparingly. In our own ca.se we feed Al¬ 
falfa ha.v and corn silage for young stock 
and dairy cows; with hogs, corn with a 
small amount of tankage answers the pur¬ 
pose. Oilmeal. cottonseed meal and other 
mill b.v-products are fed in very limitetl 
quantities as compared with a few years 
ago, when prices were more moderate. 
Old corn is now selling at .$1.85; had a 
good crop of oats, but no one selling. Oil- 
meal, ,$3 ; tankage. fiOCr. >$4.75; bran. ,$2; 
shorts, ,$2.75, all by the KM) lbs. Milk is 
retailing in town at 10c per qt.; butter 
fat in Omaha. 48e. l*otatoes were a fail¬ 
ure here; farther north they were better. 
They are retailing at $1.35. Locally we 
are experiencing a severe drought; ground 
too dry to plow, very little Fall wheat 
sown ; what is sown does not grow. Cat¬ 
tle and horses have had to be fed for a 
month or more. A good many calves that 
have run with their dams are sold for 
beef, which will cut short the beef next 
year and the year after. Farmers are an¬ 
ticipating a shortage of feed next Spring.

rough. $5..50 to $10. Mt>st farmers have 
done sowing wheat. A large acreage was 
sown. Corn is very heavy, but most of 
it is lying fiat, making it hard to .seed. Help 
is very .scarce, many arc paying ,$2.50 to 
.$.3 a day. and board ; apples are plentiful 
and plenty of fodder and hiiy. Most 
farmers will go into this IVinter with 
pleiit.v of everything, including anlomo- 
l)iles. M. n. F.

Fresh Cows, Holsteins, are in de¬

to buy at pre.seut prices for future d('- 
livery; the crops in this neighborhood are 
not up to the average and might be 
considered i)<>or. Farmers arc* holding 
them back. Eggs, ,50c: poultry about

they have hard work stdling tluun. ililk

man. Hens or fowls cm be bought for 
22c per lb. liveweight. llogs are from 
20 to 22c per lb. liveweight. Not much 
dealing in cows. The potato crop will be 
about 70% of nonnal. No extensive dig¬ 
ging started as yet. Apples are a com¬ 
plete failure. I’eaches were abundant 
until the hard frost hit them, farmers 
getting 8.5c to $1 per 14-qt. basket. The 
frost hit us hard about 8ept. 10 two 
ii'ghts running, thermometer going to

One of the chief reasons the MOLINE-UNIVERSAL 
tractor has become the “favorite” with the farmers 
IS because it has power to spare. It is possible to give 
It more than it will pull, but not possible to stall its 
drive-wheels This PROVES it has plenty of power. 
^he motor is the “heart” of any tractor 
— thats why we have built into the 
m 
1,^?^ , dependable motor that money, factory equip¬ 
ment and skill could devise. Our reputation is too sacred to put out a 
factor Avhich is not right. So, to be doubly sure we built the
