DRESSED POULTRY. 
The supply of turkeys turned out larger 
than was e.xpected, so that prices declined 
several cents toward the last of the 
Thanksgiving buying. Fancy dry Mary¬ 
land turkeys and roa.sting chickens kept 
up proportionately higher than medium 
grades, many of which wholesaled around 
85 cents.

In the barns that are James Equipped the 
task is not too great for children’s strength; for 
James Equipment makes bam work ’ easy. The light 
running James Carriers make chore time almost play time, 
turning a disagreeable, dirty task into a near-pleasure. 
The James Carrier makes a boy's job of what used to be shirked 
by all—an investment paying a profit of 25% a year in labor saved. 
The James Feed Truck or Feed Carrier saves much walking to 
and from feed rooms—makes unnecessary the lifting of heavy baskets. 
James Drinking Cups not only save 
time — cows have fresh water before 
them day and night—but they do away 
with the nuisance of tending bother¬ 
some tank heaters in blizzardy weather; 
Save fuel expense; increase milk yields. 
Drinking cups earn 200^ and more 
a year on their cost. 
And so with other James Equipment 
—stalls, stanchions, scrapers, steel pens 
for cows, calves and bulls, ventilators, 
bull staffs and swinging cranes. 
The 320- page book “The James-Way” 
tells all about these James inventions 
that save labor, increase milk yields, 
promote bettor* cow health, make

you become reconciled and talk it over?”
