Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YOKK, OCTOBER 3, 1918. 
Tho.se prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. 
BUTTER. 
The market is weaker and one cent 
lower, except on packing stock, which is 
scarce and slightly advanced. The ex¬ 
treme prices prevailing on creamery have 
cut consumption and turned many buyers 
to substitutes.

CHEESE. 
Another advance of two cents bas been 
made. The Government is reported as 
making inquiries regarding the quantity 
of stored cheese in all large holdings 
throughout the country. This may mean 
an intention to commandeer part of this 
stored cheese, as has been done with but¬ 
ter.

EGGS. 
Receipts are light and prices two to 
four cents higher on top grades. The 
surplus of lower qualities has been work¬ 
ing down considerably, but there are many 
complaints of mixed lots, which make 
trouble all around. The writer has ex¬ 
amined cases in which .some are new-laid 
and others apparently a month or more 
old. Probably part of this mixture is 
accidental, but much of it shows an evi¬ 
dent intent to see whether the poor ones 
w'ill not go through unnoticed. Addled 
and black-spotted eggs are in the same 
class with rotten apples, potatoes or other 
spoiled produce.

TN three short years, the satisfaction of thousands of owners of Happy Farmer 
Tractors has built the great business and the 16 big factory buildings of the 
Happy Farmer Tractor organization. Every man who owns a Happy Farmer 
Tractor boosts for it. His own experience has shown him that the Happy 
Farmer is the perfect, one man, kerosene burning tractor for the farm of any size. 
From start to finish the Happy P'arnier Tractor is built for leadership. Every part of it 
is made in the Happy Farmer plant by the highest grade workmen and the most up-to- 
date machinery. 
So many thousands of farmers want the Happy Farmer that we cannot keep pace with 
the demand, although we are continually increasing our manufacturing facilities. 
The Right Design 
That the Happy Farmer with its wide 
tread and perfect balance, is the right design 
of tractor, is proved by its use. Experience 
has shown that this design delivers more 
power with less weight. 
The Happy Farmer turns in its own 
tracks to right or left with equal ease. 
While it is rated at only 12-24 horsepower, 
it can always be counted upon to deliver 
much more than this whenever you need it. 
Because the Happy Farmer is so simple 
and because of our great factory, big buy¬ 
ing power, and expert organization, we can 
offer this master tractor for the low price of 
$1075. 
Happy Farmer Tractor Implements 
Happy Farmer Tractor Implements give 
the same satisfaction as the Happy Farmer 
Tractor. All Happy Farmer Moldboard 
Plows are automatically controlled by a 
cord from the driver’s seat on the tractor. 
The Happy Farmer Disk Harrow is made 
especially for tractor work. The Happy 
Farmer Drill is the only proven successful 
one with automatic patented power-lift and 
power pressure.

Performance in the field is a tractor’s 
only test. Watch the Happy Farmer your¬ 
self and you will see why it is America’s 
greatest tractor. There is a Happy Farmer
