There has been another small decline 
and a general weakening of the market. 
Some of the shipments, however, are not 
being oflered for sale as the current 
prices are below the limit put by the 
shippers who prefer to risk holding for 
an increase.

FRUITS 
The apple market is dull owing tti the 
large proportion of low grade <.-eIl:ir-

marks of barrelled Baldwin, Winesii)) ;iiid j 
Albemarle bring the former high range | 
of prices, but all medium and under j 
grade.s of barrelled and boxed stock are 
low. Strawberries are in much larger 
supply hut many of them arriving in 
bad order owing to delays on the roads, 
some in open crates having brought ten 
cents per quart.

VEGETABLES 
Potatoes are in larger supply land 
medium grades slightly lower. They are 
being retailed from peddler’s wagons at 
a figure which increases demand so that 
they, are being worked out faster. Sound 
onions are doing a little better, though 
still low, but sprouted or otherwise dam¬ 
aged grades are going very low. Let¬ 
tuce from the South has been arriving 
in poor condition. The cabbage market 
is slightly firmer though the price range 
remains Avithout much change. Aspar¬ 
agus from South Carolina and Georgia 
is bringing high figures when not frozen. 
Kale and spinach are quite scarce.

Prolapse of Rectum 
I have trouble with young pigs, about 
three months old; I find some with 
rectum pushed out, some of them bleed¬ 
ing. Is this piles? a. f. 
New York. 
The wall of the rectum protrudes in 
such cases, as a rule, but in .some cases 
piles are present. Some irritant in the 
feed is the pi’obable cause. Worms may 
be a contributing cause. The hulls of 
ground nnscreened oats are a common 
<‘anse. \\ e also have seen it among lags 
feed large quantities of boiled potatoes, 
bran, or wheat middlings or shorts in 
excessive amounts. Feed milk and flax¬ 
seed meal. Add raw linseed oil if con¬ 
stipation persists. Allow exercise daily. 
Trejit by cleansing protruding parts. 
diKstiug them with fresh powdered ergot 
and returning them to place, then dra^v 
the tail down between the hind legs and 
keep it there for 24 hour.s by means of a 
tape tied to its end and then to a band 
around the body. If the condition per- 
si.sts .scarify the protruded part and bathe 
with warm water to encourage bleeding, 
then return to place and put a stitch oi- 
two across the anus ro prevent return of

HUDFORD TYPE 
A TRUXTUN reduces 
yonr cost of hauling to the 
minimum as compared 
with doing it by horses. 
It is on the job every day. 
It is never tired, never sick. 
It doesn’t “eat its head ofF' 
when not working. 
Our engineering department 
will gladly answer any questions 
regarding the size truck you 
need, etc., free of charge. 
Write today for our book 
“Low Cost Hauling’” and name 
of nearest TRIUXTUN dealer* 
JUST now our country is confronted 
^ by a big transportation problem. 
Food, clothing and munitions must 
be moved. The railroads are doing 
their best; but even their best is not 
good enough. 
Every one must hefp. And the TRUXTUN 
will help every farmer to do his bit by relieving 
the railroad of the heavy strain the war has laid 
on them. 
With a TRUXTUN you can do even your 
farm-to-city delivery, a daily run of fifty to sixty 
miles being the ordinary thing. 
The TRUXTUN is the original unit for con¬ 
verting passenger cars into profit cars. 
It gives you a real truck—sturdy, dependable, 
shaft-driven, with internal gear axle drive, the 
drive used on the highest-priced trucks.
