LIVE POUI.TRY. 
Receipts are light and prices remain 
without special change. The local repre¬ 
sentatives of the Federal Food Board are 
taking^ measures to get a wider distribu- 
tiou of the scanty receipts by limiting the 
amount that can be sold to any one dealer 
for a w’eek’s supply. Prices reported are 
35 for young I’ooster.s, turkeys and geese, 
and 27 for old roosters. Very few ducks 
are arriving by freight or expres.s. Near¬ 
by ducks have been brought in by auto¬ 
mobiles to some extent, but the supply is 
very light. 
DRES.SED POULTRY. 
A large proportion of the fresh-killed 
.stock is coarse and undesirable, most of 
the trade being supplied by frozen poultry, 
the supply of which is fairly lai'ge.

Let Your Boy or Girl 
Do the Milking While Farm 
Hands Do Other Important Work 
The mechanical operation of a Sharpies Milker is so 
simple that a 12-year old boy or girl can handle the 
Sharpies successfully and milk the herd faster and 
better than three men by hand. Ben Richter, Jr., 
of Breese, Ill., writes enthusiastically that his two 
children, aged 10 and 12, operate the Sharpies 
Milker very satisfactorily. 
SHARPLES MILKER 
The Only Milker with Positive Squeeze 
Sharpies is the world's fastest milker, which not 
only saves time but increases the milk flow—fast 
milking always does. A Sharpies Milker pays for 
itself in four to six months. The famous Sharpies 
“upward squeeze” teat cup carefully massages the 
teats after each suck and keeps them in a perfectly 
healthy condition. It is the only milker with a 
positive squeeze. 
Used on more than 500,000 cows twice daily.
