The prices in our district are good. 
We are getting at our co-operative cream¬ 
eries from 90c to $1 for butterfat. Some 
tanners send to Philadelphia and receive 
lOVrC per qt for 4 per cent milk. Feed 
is very high; bran very scarce at $2.25 
per cvvt. ; middlings scarce at $2.50 per 
100 lbs.; gluten, $3; cobmeal, $2.90; 
cornmeal, $3.50; hominy, $3.20; cake oil 
meal, $3.25; rye middlings, $2.60; oats 
chop, $3.25, and the silos only filled half, 
because our corn crop was very short. 
This will leave only a small profit for the 
farmers. I had an extra good crop of 
apples, sold nearly $1,000 worth of apples 
from a small orchard of 160 trees

per doz.; butter, 73c; milk is sold' by 
butterfat, which averages about $3.80 per 
cent; farmer receives 8.7c per lb., or 
about $3.70 _ per 100 pounds of milk. 
Corn fodder is scarce and high, bringing 
from 7 to 11c per shock. Weather is dry 
and farmers have to haul water. Labor 
scarce, charging from $2 to $2.75 per day. 
Bucks Co., Pa. w. h. w. 
This Fall was a very open one so far 
in this section. We had splendid weather 
all Fall, no killing frosts until Oct. 1st. 
Potatoes were dug this year without 
much difficulty, while last year many 
were frozen in the ground. Here in Mer¬ 
cer Co., Pa., the potato crop was fairly 
good, running from 100 to 200 bushels 
per acre. Along early in October quite 
a few sold for $2 per bushel, but they 
came down quite a bit later on. Most of 
what were sold brought from $1.25 to 
$1.50 wholesale and $1.75 to $2 retail. 
There were very few shipped out of this 
section by the carload. Practically no 
buyers around, and many growers * held 
their potatoes for a higher price, and 
have them stored in the cellar in pits for 
next Spring delivery. Very earlv pota¬ 
toes were a total failure, as they nearly 
all were struck with the blight.‘and the 
drought finished them. The Fall seeding 
of wheat is very promising in this sec¬ 
tion. With warm weather, plenty of 
rains and very little hard freezing it has 
made a wonderful start. Many farmers 
say it is the best seen for years. The 
drought badly hurt the new catches of 
clover last Summer. When some of the 
wheat was cut most of the little clover 
plants were almost burnt up. The later 
rains revived much of it, however, but 
still we doubt if next year’s meadows, 
especially new meadows, will be very 
heavy. Pasture has been good to a very 
late date. Stock is mostly in good condi¬ 
tion. Horses are very cheap and plenty. 
At many public sales good horses bring 
only from $59 to $100 and the poorer 
ones can hardly be given awav. Cows 
are in fair demand, and run from $40 to 
f^ T °t as many changing hands as in 
lormer years. Hogs are worth now 20c 
•™d there seems to 'be plenty of them. 
Chickens are a very scarce crop and are 
worth from 20 to 25c per pound. Butter 
o5c ; eggs, 60 to 65c. Feed is all high.' 
with hay at $20; straw around $10 in 
mow; ear corn, SOc; shelled corn. $1.75 
per bushel; oats around 75c; dairy feeds. 
$2.50 to $3 per cwt.; bran. $1.75; mid¬ 
dlings, $2.50. Corn has sold at public 
sales at from SOc to $1 per shock. Many 
public sales this Fall and quite a few 
farms being sold. p. 
Mercer Co., Pa. 
Creameries are paying League prices 
for milk; $4.08 for 3 per cent, and 10c a 
point over 3 per cent. Local stores are 
paying 60 to 65c for butter and selling 
| or 75c and upwards. Potatoes are worth 
from $1.15 to $1.50 per 'bu. Roof is slow 
sale at 12 to i4e per lb. Pork is quick 
sale from 22 to 24c. Seasoned stove wood 
worth $2.50 to $3 per cord. Oats are 
plenty, but few farmers selling any. Feed 
Prices continue high; corn, $1.70 per bu.; 
oats, SOc: meal or cracked corn. $3.10: 
hominy, $3.06 gluten, $2.70; cottonseed

Per ton in barn ; baled hay. $1.70 per 100

still asking $3 a day for unskilled labor. 
But now that the war is over and men 
coming back from camps and from France 
there will soon he plentv of help and 
wages will tend to adjust themselves by 
the law of supply and demand. This 
county is a center for the wood-acid fac¬ 
tories which produce wood alcohol, char¬ 
coal and acetic acid. The cessation of the 
call for products used in making muni¬ 
tions has suddenly lowered their price 
and their sale. The result is that many 
wood choppers who have been receiving 
$2 to $3 per cord for cutting wood are 
thrown out of employment, many fac¬ 
tories having stopped chopping wood for 
the present. These wood choppers are 
idle now. but will be ready for farm work 
in the Spring. I think the outlook for 
dairy and general farming in 1919 is good

ORIGINAL KEROSENE TRACTOR 
“In old timothy sod I pulled three 14-inch bottoms at an 
average depth of six inches, some of the time up a pretty 
steep grade. In stubble I pulled the same plows at an 
average depth of eight inches.”—Geo. W. Lee, Gladstone, N. J. 
Waterloo Boy reserve power insures a smooth, even job of plowing in 
rolling land or varying soil conditions. Its two-speed motor, 2V\ and 3 miles 
per hour, enables you to turn the furrow at varying speed for best results in 
any kind of soil; quick change of speed and 12-foot turning radius permits 
close work in irregular fields and at corners. 
The Tractor That Pays Its Way 
because it is the right size for the widest range of profitable operation- 
supplies ample power for the heavy work, economical power for the lighter 
work available for all work. Many Waterloo Boy owners are keeping 
their tractors busy most of the year—at draw bar or belt. 
Simplified onstruction makes it easy to operate; equipped with Hyatt 
roller bearings, dependable ignition device, patented fuel saving kerosene 
burner, automatic lubricating system and other features which insure many 
years’ service at minimum up-keep cost.
