Another spell of zero weather has tied 
up the produce trade aud damaged large 
quantities of stuff on the way. 
BUTTER. 
The market is without special change 
from last week’s prices. Receipts of fresh 
creamery are light hut demand only fair, 
because of the increasing use of substi- 
tutesi which are so much cheaper.

The decline in price routinno.s, a.s sup¬

the Far West have moved out fairly well, 
some being sold at auction and others 
through the regular trade. Milder weather 
is promised, and the first touches of 
Spring certainly cannot he far away, so 
the general feeling is weak.

LIVE POULTRY 
Receipts by freight and express are 
very light, aud prices even above last 
week’s high figures on fowls are reported. 
The range is from .32 to 35e on fowls and 
*27 to 21)c on chickens. 
DRESSED POULTRY. 
There is a great scarcity of desirable 
grades of fresh stock, so the market is 
being largely supplied with frozen poultry 
of the vintages of 1910-1917. It is un¬ 
derstood that the Government has ruled 
that the 1910 pack must he cleared out 
this Spring.

very .scarce, the hulk of supplies being

THE CARBIDE LIGHTED FARM 
The Most Valuable Asset of the 
Colt Lighting Plant Is Its 
Zealously Guarded Reputation 
W E have reason to be proud of the Colt’s reputation 
for reliable, dependable service. It has enabled us to 
build and market more and more COLT plants every year. 
This reputation rests on the testimony of over 30,000 country 
home owners who have, through their own experiences, 
become convinced of the following facts regarding the COLT: 
— It gives the most powerful and beautiful white light 
known. 
2 — It not only floods the house and barns with cheerful 
light, but also supplies gas for a perfect cooking range 
— a double service — two city conveniences no home 
should be without. 
2 — There are no noisy engines or exasperating batteries to 
give you trouble, no delicate parts to get out of order. 
Country home owners write us that they have enjoyed 
COLT service for fourteen years without spending a 
penny for repairs. 
4 — The COLT plant is small, compact, and strictly auto¬ 
matic in action. It will easily stand in the corner of a 
cellar or out-house. It feeds every light on the place 
and the range in the kitchen with no attention other 
than a few minutes once a month for recharging with 
Carbide and plain water. 
g — The COLT furnishes both light for the house and fuel 
for the range at LOWER COST than other lighting 
systems. 
W^e have thousands of letters from enthusiastic users, and 
we will be glad to send you copies of some from people in 
your section —but better yet, write us today for the name 
and address of one of your neighbors who own a COLT 
plant, and go over each feature with him, point by point.
