Use the Moline Mower for Tough 
■ Heavy Cutting 
On the rear of the Moline Mower you 
will notice a bell shaped gear. When 
this gear gets into motion it has the 
same effect on the sickle as a fly wheel 
on any machine and carries the mower 
through heavy and difficult cutting 
where other mowers fail. You can 
always depend on the Moline. 
.This is the same principle that was 
used on the old Adriance Buckeye 
Mower 60 years ago, and 
you won’t find it on any other 
mower on the market. In 
fact, this mower is the old 
original Buckeye, now called 
the Moline Mower, and is 
greatly improved. Every 
user of a Moline Mower 
profits by these years of ser¬ 
vice and knows his Moline 
Mower will not fail him in 
a “pinch."

Beeman Garden Tractors 
THEY PLOW, CULTIVATE DISC AND HARROW 
T he beeman garden tractor is the most modern applica¬ 
tion of power work on the farm. In cultivating it goes astride of 
onions, carrots, beets and other crops that grow in narrow rows, 
cultivating one or three rows at a time. In cultivating corn or other 
wide-rowed crops it goes between the rows. It will take the place of a 
horse ,or mule m cultivating. It cultivates closer, faster and better 
than It is possible in any other waJ^ No pnsliing or pulling. So easy 
to control, that a boy or woman with a BEEMAN can do more work 
than three men. Pulls a small plow or harrow and develops 4-II.P. on 
the belt. Goes from job to job on its own power.,

POTATOES IX l!.\r) POST ITOX. 
The potato situation continues to re¬ 
main unsatisfactory. I’rices drag along 
at low levels, and sag still lower at some 
Western points, whore the supply seems 
to be much heavier than iu potato .sec¬ 
tions like Northern Maine and Western 
New York, It looks as thougli nearly 
one-third of the stock iu tlie West and 
North is still unshipped, and doubtless 
much of it will never come to market. 
Growers are reported disgusted with the 
situation, aud often not taking the 
trouble to cart their potatoes to market 
at present prices, preferring to feed Lhera 
to stock aud use their time for putting iu 
crops. There is every indication that the 
Northern potato crop will he much lighter 
this year, owing not only to the bad con¬ 
dition of the market this season, but 
also to the extreme shortage of labor and 
the high cost of fertilizer. The eai-ly 
Southern crop, however, is larger than 
last year. Growers in that section have 
been stimulated by the uniformly high 
prices received last season. This croi) 
will liegin to come forward iu qu:uitit.y 
next month. Old iiotiitoes are selling at 
Maine points at .$1.10 to $1.21 cwt. 
bulk; at New York shipping i)oints at 
$1 to $1.25; in Miciiigaii at 00 to 75c; 
in Wisconsin, 00 to TOc, and in the Far 
West sacked stock is selling at 50 to 75c, 
all of the above being No. 1 grade. No. 
2 grade sells at one-half to two-thirds 
of the price for No, 1, ami is in consid¬ 
erable demand for .starch-making. Seed 
stock is bringing about double the price 
of^ table .stock. In city markets carlot 
prices range from 00c to $1.25 in West¬ 
ern and central mai'krts. and sales to .iob- 
bers range from $1.25 to $1.80 per cwt. 
in leading general markets. 
OXION,S STILL WEAKER. 
Prices in leading markets have dropped 
about 25e since last reported, aud the 
general range is now 50e to $1. Inferior 
grades dropped as low as 20c per cwt. in 
some market.s. In the producing sections 
most stock is shipi)ed on consignment, 
there being no local buyers. Some stocks 
from storage have actually been given 
away because it was feared returns from 
sliipment would not pay expenses. Nearly 
all storage .stock has been sold at heavy 
losses. The new Texas stock has not- 
been marketed to any extent, perhaps 
having been held back on account of gen¬ 
eral unfavorable market conditions. 
BEANS A LITTLE LOWER. 
Prices have sagged off a little further 
since last quoted, and the decline in 
some markets total over $1 during the 
past five weeks. The general range iu 
the Eastern producing sections is $11 to 
$12 cwt. bulk, and .$13 to $14 in the 
city wholesale markets. Demand is not 
ver.v active at this time of year, aud there 
is too much damaged stock on the market. 
3IARKET NOTES. 
Fancy asparagus from California sold 
at $11 per doz. bunches last week. Some 
of almost equally high value is arriving 
from South Carolina. Texas growers 
are puzzled to find outlets for onions and 
spinach; not much encouragement to 
ship either product, and eanners or driers 
will not take them. The strawberry .sea¬ 
son centers in Louisiana now. The 
quality is fairly good, but with much 
sandy stock. G. B. F.

Limekiln Ashes lor Grain 
1. I am !in amateur; have recently ac¬ 
quired a large farm (grain and dairy), 
clay loam soil. I wish to seed oats, bar¬ 
ley, corn, buckwheat and rye. I have a 
large quantity of manure former tenant 
failed to draw on land. My oat land is 
nearly one mile from the barn. I fear I 
will not have time to get mncli manure 
on it. I can get lime and wood ashes, 60 
per cent liine, 30 per cent ashe.s, for $7.50 
per ton. ^Vonld it do to drill this in with 
the grain, and would 200 pounds to the 
acre get results worth while? 2. Do .vou 
think the velvet bean vill mature in this

1. This is jirohahl.v limekiln aslies, 
which represents tlie refuse from the bot¬ 
tom of the kiln after the lime has been 
taken out. I’sually more or less sand is 
scraped up with it. You woTild receive 
very little benefit from 200 pounds of tliis 
drilled in with the oats. Such a small 
amount would not make a showing. You 
should use at least 1,500 pounds of it to 
the acre, and that would not give a first- 
class crop unless manure or some other 
form of nitrogen is used. 2. You are too
