BUTTER. 
The better grades of dairy and cream¬ 
ery are 2c higher. The surplus of low 
grades has been worked down, so that 
the market is in much stronger position, 
except on packing stock and city made. 
The extreme prices prevailing, however, 
are likely to shorten consumption materi¬ 
ally.

There is still some scattering business

DRESSED POULTRY. 
Fresh-killed turkeys of fancy grades 
were scarce, wholesaling up to 45c in ex¬ 
ceptional cases. Part of this shortage 
was due to the delays, which held up ship¬ 
ments until Thanksgiving trade was over. 
On this account some shippers will lose 
several cents per pound. Business in 
good to choice grades was mainly in the 
range of 34 to 3Sc, and ordinary West¬ 
ern stock down to 25c.

VEGETABLES. 
Potato market is somewhat weaker, 
but this is mainly because of the large 
proportion of low quality in the offer¬ 
ings. Onions are in surplus. String 
•beans from the South are bringing very 
high prices when in good condition. Cab¬ 
bage slightly higher. Cauliflower in large 
supply, but more or less frozen.

The Early Order 
Gets the Goods 
The railroads are called upon to handle a greater 
volume of traffic than ever before in their history. 
Vast quantities of supplies for our troops at 
home and abroad must be moved quickly 
and safely. These have the right of way 
over all other freight.. The crops must also 
be moved to the seaboard. The strain on the 
railroads is tremendous. Every car must be 
loaded as near to full capacity as possible for 
there are not enough to go around. 
Then, too, the -Army has taken thousands of 
skilled railroad men forcing the employment of 
many “green” hands. Even so, the rail¬ 
roads are short-handed. Were you to visit 
one of the great freight yards you would 
see thousands of loaded cars waiting an 
opportunity to proceed. 
“What has all this to do with farming ?” you 
may ask. Just this—YOU can protect your 
interests by ordering your Spring fertilizers 
shipped NOW and at the same time help win 
the war.

bushels of potatoes on a measured acre using 
only our Ex’celsior Potato Fertilizer 1916. 
He writes: “These fertilizers always work well 
in the planter and produce good results.” 
Experiments at the Ohio station prove that 
fertilizers make every hour of labor produce 
larger returns. E. Frank Coe’s Fertilizers 
will help you secure "a greater yield from 
every field. ’ ’

B ig Clover” 1; 
milkers. They dem 
IS the answer to an insistent demand from our cus¬ 
tomers for a complete high protein ration for heavy 
, demanded a 24% protein feed with the characteristic 
Clover-Leaf quality and palatability. 
“Big Clover’’ meets this requirement perfectly. It is made of the cleanest and 
best grains obtainable for the purpose, and seasoned with salt giving it a flavor and 
relish that induces a healthy appetite and perfect assimilation. 
Palatability and Nutrition are the Big 
Advantages of Clover Leaf Feeds 
They produce more milk of better quality than other feeds. “Big Clover” may be used 
alone as a complete ration for heavy milkers, or it may be toned down by the addition of 
home grown grains ^ch^ ground oats, corn and cob meal, etc,, to bring the protein 
content down to 22%, 20%, 18% or whatever may be required. 
T 'll*® Glover possesses every element desirable in a 24% ration and is rightly priced. 
It will save you^ money because it saves the time, labor 
and cost of mixing. Try“Big Clovcr”and be convinced. 
Look for the 
Four-Leaf Clover 
It’s the sign of good luck—and good feeds. All 
the Clover Leaf brands are identified by the four-leaf 
clover as shown on the sack. These are the Clover 
Leaf quality feeds;
