weak, 15Vt to 15^/{>c; fair to good. 14 to 
1.5c: common, 11 to 1.3c: buttermilks, 8 
to 9c: live hogs, $16.50 to $17.90.

2Sc: dressed pork, 21 to 25c; dressed hot- 
hou.se lambs, $12. 
Hog-Dressed Calves. — Calves from 
four to six weeks old and weighing from 
SO to 110 lbs., are the most desirable for 
shipping to this market; a few buvers 
can use heavier weights if the quality is 
very choice. They should be dressed in 
the following manner: When all is ready 
for the killing, take the calf gently (it 
must not be worn-ied or chased, and should 
not be fed for a space of at least six hours 
previous), tie a rope to hind legs and 
hang it up clear of the ground or floor, 
then cut the head off jiLst behind the ears; 
when thoroughly bled out. put in the 
gambrel stick and cut off the legs at the 
knee-joint—where the knuckles and head 
skin are left on sellers have to allow 
enough w'eight to fully cover these, and 
it is best to remove them before shipment. 
'J’hen open the belly from pretty well up 
between the legs to the breast bone; re¬ 
move all the intestines, including the 
lights, liver, heart, and especially the rec¬ 
tum and windpipe, so that there may be 
a free circulation of air through the calf. 
Re careful not to di.sturb the covering to 
the kidneys. Now balance evenly on the 
gambrel and place a stick of suitable 
length in the opening to hold it in proper 
shape: then hang in a cool, drv place 
until the flesh is “set” and the* animal 
heat it all out. The stick which was 
jtlaced across the opening should now be 
remo^’ed. In warm weather the opening 
should be filled with a large piece of ice 
and .sewed up. The calf should then be 
laid down so that the cold air will reach 
all parts of the carcass. Never sew up 
a calf except to keep in the ice. Mark 
for .shipment by sewing a “shipping tag” 
to the bag skin between the hind legs. 
Very small, young calves are liable to 
seizure by our meat inspectors as unfit 
for food. P’ed calves, buttermilk calves, 
grass calves and yearlings sell much lower 
in price than veal calves. 
Pears. —^The ordinary run of Kieffere 
are .selling from $1.50 to $2.50 per barrel. 
If fancy they will bring as much as $4. 
The demand is limited, on account of the 
sugar shortage. Seckel, $5 to .$8; Anjou. 
$3 to $6: Rose, $4 to $8; Clairgeau, .$4 
to $7.

The Titan Tractor Record 
J\ TITAN tractor is a safe machine to buy. 
^ ^ The present models have been at work 
steadil}’’ on average American farms for more than 
two years. Their standing is established. 
Ninety-six per cent of Titan owners say t’ley are perfectly 
satisfied with the amount and quality of work the machines 
do, and with their fuel economy. 
Every Titan tractor operates successfully on kerosene. 
\ou can always get a plentiful supply of kerosene or dis¬ 
tillate, at a reasonable price. 
_ There are two sizes-10-20 and 1.5-30 II. P. The 10-20 
size IS the one recommended for average farms. It is a three- 
plow outfit with two plowing speeds, 1.85 and 2.50 miles per 
from 7 to 10 acres a day. You can use it for 
ah kinds of belt work up to 20-H. P. and for hauling. 
Both sizes give the same steady, reliable service. Both 
operate successfully on kerosene. They reduce labor costs. 
By getting the work done ia the right way and at the right 
time, they increase yields. 
A Titan tractor is a safe, profitable machine to buy. 
To hav'e a Titan tractor delivered in time for tlie harvest 
plowing, your order should be placed soon.
