Clean and Clear 
as Water 
For Retained Afterbirth 
When a cow fails to‘‘clean” promptly, she should be flushed out with B-K. A retained afterbirtb 
neglected may cause Abortion or Barrenness. 
B-K as a douche brings the afterbirth naturally—saves removing by hand. B-K kills the infect 
ing germs and foul odors—heals the uterus—removes slime and acid—no straining—no irritation 
B-K is much more effective and safer than lysol, carbolic acid, Lugol’s solution and oily coal-tar dis* 
infectants, which do not cleanse the uterus, but make it more acid. 
If your dealer does not have B-K, send us his name.

We arc located about 18 miles from El¬ 
mira, which is a good market for almost 
any kind of produce. At city curb market 
potatoes are selling at $1 per bu.; apple.'?, 
75c to $1; parsnips, 25 to 30c pk. But¬ 
termilk, 5c qt.; egg.s, 38 to 40e. Potatoes 
have been sold as low as 55c for good 
stock at public sales. One farmer de¬ 
livered a load of 40 bu. at 75c; took them 
all at one trip with a small touring car, 
plus one lumber wagon hitched behind; 
,inilk delivered at coudenseries at League 
prices. Dairy butter, 45 to 50c at coun¬ 
try stores, hardly a fair deal for those 
who are so situated as to be unable to sell 
milk. Cows have sold at auction at prices 
ranging all the way from $50 to $160, as 
to size and condition, about $100 for or¬ 
dinary fresh COW.S. Horses in good de¬ 
mand, also at greatly varying prices. 
One horse bought for $15 at private sale 
sold for $50 at auction a few days later. 
Teams ready for work, from $400 to $500, 
according to weight. Buckwheat, $3.75 
cwt. at mill ; small lots, $2 per bu. at 
sale. At some feed stores we canaot buy 
bran, but can get what looks to be a good 
substitute or imitation at $2.75 per cwt., 
evidently a smooth way of getting by the 
government price. Here, as elsewhere, 
the number of eggs to be incubated is 
greatly reduced. If the hens could but 
have the barley now taken by the brew¬ 
eries they would glady accept it as a sub¬ 
stitute for wheat, and produce something 
of far greater food value than beer. When 
will our nation wake up on this question? 
Why compel cities to spend so much 
money_ to decide the wet or dry issue, 
when it could all be done at one stroke 
at no expense? M. c. 1’.

The outlook for Winter wheat in this 
vicinity is first-class. About 20 per cent 
of the wheat acreage is in Winter wheat, 
and is in good .shai)e for a bumper crop. 
Spring seeding is now in full blast and 
will be finished by April 20, The pros- 
{lect for a big fruit crop is good at this 
time. Feed of nil kind.s is scarce. Hay 
is .selling at $25 i)er ton ; oats and barley, 
$00 ])er ton. Butter fat, 52c per lb.; 
eggs, 30 c i>er doz. j, p. t.

Farm work has been at a standstill the 
past week on account of nearly a 20-inch 
snowfall. Some Spring wheat has been 
sown. Winter wheat is looking good. 
The Spring has been favorable for it. 
The Fairfield Cheese Co. opened their 
factory April 1. Plenty of auction sales 
are being held. Sugar making was a good 
yield; syrup sold from $1.50 to $2 per 
gal. The daylight saving bill did not 
cause much inconvenience to the farmers, 
as they go mostly by the sun. Eggs, 34c

$60 to $125. All kinds of feed very high 
and very hard to get. People here did 
not think much of the Food Administra¬ 
tion poultry law, as many would' have 
liked to sell their surplus broodv hens.

.Our principal occupation i.s making 
^We get $2.36 per 100 lbs., 3 per 
cent. Grade B, and 4c for overv .1 per 
^nt above 3 per cent, delivered at the 
Borden s {ilant. We have to pay the com¬ 
pany for drawing, a.s they send out teams 
to pick up the milk. I live about nine 
miles from the plant and it costs us $6 
per day to get it drawn, and the load has 
to pay the day’s work, be it 1.000-lb. 
load or 3,000 lbs. Veals bring 15c per 
lb. if they weigh 150 lbs., but are less if 
under 150 lbs., 13 to 14c. Butter, about 
42c, trade; cannot get any cash at the 
stores for it. Potatoes, SOc per bu. in 
tF/\ae; ^nnot get any cash on them, 
either. The stores are all on a cash basis, 
but the farmer must take trade for his 
produce. Cows are bringing a fair price. 
1 know of a herd of picked-up cows, 20 in 
number, that sold for $2,000 about March 
1. I was at an auction April 10. and 
saw as nice a herd of registered Holsteius 
sold as you would care to look at, and 
they brought a little over .$200 per head 
as I remember, about 20 head. Here are 
the i»rioes I had to pay for a load of feed 
at our local mill Ajiril 12. such feed as I 
oV per 1(X) lbs.; oil- 
meal, $,3..-.>; gluteu, $3. u. w. 
Cattaraugus Co., N, Y. 
Wheat a.s a rule goes to millers; farm¬ 
ers got into that rut and they stay, when 
a cerlain time comes, sell wheat The 
other products go to the market at Roch¬ 
ester. Canning concerns have been 
through all Winter getting farmers to 
contract rai.sing tomatoe.s. Quite a num¬ 
ber of our farmers are making milk for 
milkmen, or I guess they would starve if 
they kept on straight farming; there i.s 
nothing in it. Cattle are bringing $100 
or more each ; fruit not much around 1‘en- 
field. Little pigs are bringing $9 each ; 
horses $200 and up at auctions. Feed of 
all kind is scarce. j. g 
Monroe Co., N. Y. 
There was^ more wheat than usual put 
out here; it is looking fine; had good Tain 
on Ajiril 5. Usual number of oats sown; 
looking fine, too; some corn already plant¬ 
ed. Ground is working nicely this'Spring. 
Last year’s wheat is about all sold. Yel¬ 
low corn brings $1..50 in Galena; good 
white for meal is 10 to 15c higher. Oats, 
75c hii. at farm. Milch cows bring from 
$65 to .$fi0; stock cows from 6 to 9c per 
Ih. on foot. Hay, prairie, $20 to $21 ton. 
We generally get 40c under Kan.sas City 
niiirket for fat hogs. We sell cream to 
Blue Valley Creamery Co.; get 4.3c lb 
for butter fat. Eggs, 33c doz.; butter, 
40c lb. Quite a few Irish potatoes put 
out, but do not think there will be as 
many sweet potatoes put out as common. 
Hired help is high priced and hard to get. 
We tried out one of those high school boys 
a while back; he could not put on a set 
of harness and did not know which hole 
the hor.se’s nose went through in the hal¬ 
ter, yet he asked as much as an experi¬ 
enced hand wanted a year ago. Before I 
will pay out good money for poor help I 
will do what I can and let the rest go by. 
The prices they ask for farm implements 
we cannot raise wheat at $1.90 and $1.96 
per bu., but, of course, we are all in on 
whipiiing the Kaiser, so we intend to 
keep plugging away. p. e. ir.
