DRESSED POULTRY. 
'I'lio iirrivals of froKh-killod turkeys too 
late for Thanksgiving trade have been 
closely cleaned up, though at prices con¬ 
siderably lower than early in the holiday 
week. The stock of Western and niiscei- 
laneous lots now coining in is going about 
10c per pound under the itrevious high 
prices. Chickens and fowls are (piite dull.

BUTTER. 
Top grades of creamery are Ic higher, 
as the proportion of fancy scoring qual¬ 
ities is small. Not much change is noted 
in medium and lower grades. Trade in 
storage stock has been active, Avith slight¬ 
ly advanced prices in some cases. City 
made is rather dull, as many people are 
using butter substitutes when unable to 
buy high qualities of creamery or dairy.

CHEESE. 
Occasional sales above current quoted 
prices are noted, but the volume of busi¬ 
ness is very light and the shipping situa¬ 
tion does not give exporters much en¬ 
couragement.

EGGS. 
The price range has narrowed a little, 
as receipts of nearby high quality are a 
trifle larger, and a great many of the 
shipments show a mixture of pullet eggs 
which are heavily discounted by buyers. 
The gathered stock received is being takeu 
quite readily, so that the market keeps 
cleaned up in good shape. Storage are 
selling a trifle higher on desirable marks.

HAY AND STRAW. 
The extreme hay prices prevailing re- 
cently_ in New York have brought many 
inquiries as to the outlook for shipments 
here. The reason hay has been so high 
at New York and some other large mar¬ 
kets is the difficulty of transporting it* as 
the railroads are thoroughly tied up with 
military shipments. If it were possible 
to move hay here readily the price would 
immediately drop, and this has occurred 
to some extent during the week. W!e are 
glad to give the names of reputable hay 
dealers to anyone desiring to make ship¬ 
ments direct, tholigh under present con¬ 
ditions a much quicker return of money 
may be had by selling to local dealers.

SUCRENE FEEDS 
Bring Better Results at Less Cost 
Help win the war! Your grain made into bread goes much 
farther to feed Uncle Sam’s army than when made into meat or 
dairy products—and it brings you better profits. 
Sucrene Feeds take the place of nearly all grain feeds. They 
are composed of materials known to possess high feeding value 
in prote'n, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, etc. Tested, proven and 
positively guaranteed in quality, and cost you less than any good 
ration you can mix yourself. 
Sucrene Dairy Feed the Leader 
Stop making milk at a loss. Sucrene Dairy Feed produces more 
milk at less cost than other feeds. Here*8 the proof: 
Thos. Y. Hackett, one of the blsKest dairymen in Salem County. 
N. J., writaa; "1 can honestly say that Sucrene has made me more 
money than any feed I ever boufrht. It produces larger quantities of 
milk at low cost, to say nothing of keeping the stock in best of health." 
Cows enjoy Sucrene Dairy Feed because of tbe molasses and 
well-balanced variety of clean, wholesome grain products itcontains. 
Why use corn worth $SO per ton or more, ———- 
when you can buy a standard, ready-mixed feed I 
for less money and get better results oecause it is a 
scientifically balanced feed of guaranteed uniform 
quality>

dealer. If he does not handle it, write us his name

The 1/i H. P. uses gasoline only. 
Same power from a gallon of

You’ll buy a “Z” when you do 
as they did—check it point by 
point with all other engines 
—especially those that are 
high in quality and price. 
These are strong state¬

you consider the re

the name plate.
