A FARM FENCE FAMINE! 
If you will need fence next spring and know 
where you can buy, DO IT NOW, even if you have to 
borrow the money. Don’t wait for t>e price 
to come down nor buy more than you will really 
need, for many will have to go without. Reason 
for this prediction explained in our “Pence Famine 
Bulletin.” Free for the asking. Not at all; you’re welcome.

This is a dairying section. Holstein 
cows are in fair demand and bring from 
$125 to $160, milk being sold by the cwt. 
| to receiving stations and shipped to Bos¬ 
ton. We are having a mild spell, plenty 
of rain, snow disappearing fast; farmers 
are hauling on wagons. Not many pota¬ 
toes planted in this section; buyers are 
paying $1 per bn., market dull. Eggs 
have been high all Winter; have dropped 
recently to 60c per doz. Butter, 60c per 
lb.; Yellow Eye beans. $6 per bu.; native 
turnips, .$1 per bu.; hay, first grade, .$18 
per ton; straw, $18 per ton; oats. 22 
lbs., 80c; bran, $2.80; meal, $1.55; 
cracked corn, .$1.55; middlings, $2.80; 
mixed feed, $2.00. W. H. B. 
Washington Co., Me. 
Wheat, $2.15 to $2.25; corn, $1.65 to 
$1.75; oats, 75 to 80c; potatoes, $1; 
cornmeal, farmer has to pay $07 per ton ; 
bran, farmer lias to pay $50 per ton; 
middlings, farmer has to pay $51 per 
tdn; bay, .$23 to $27 per ton ; Timothy 
seed, $4.50 to $5 per bu.; Red clover, 
$23 to .$20 per bu.; Alsike, .$17 to $19 
per bu.; Alfalfa, $12.50 to $14 per bu.; 
beans, hand-picked, $4.50 to $5 per bu.; 
broilers, dressed. 50c; fowls, dressed, 38 
to 42c; pork, $17 to $22 per cwt.; butter, 
dairy, 42 to 45c; eggs, 50 to 70c. _ Cattle 
are selling at the country auctions at 
very high prices: it is not unusual to 
hear of $125 to $150 being paid. Horses 
are low. whether the tractor or what is 
the cause, but it is doubtful unless a 
farmer raises extra choice large drafters 
whether it pays. A good two-year-old 
steer or heifer will bring as much as a 
two-year-old colt, and in many cases 
more, and I am mighty sure that it costs 
less to raise the steer than it does the 
colt, and if the colt gets blemished there 
is no comparison as to the value. c. i.

There was a good quantity of wheat 
sown here last Fall, and it has stood 
the Winter remarkably well for so open 
a season. I think farmers as a class did 
well last year, but they do not seem very 
optimistic at this time. Men who will 
rent farms can get almost anything they 
want; farmers seem to give very extra¬ 
ordinary opportunities to those who will 
work on shares. Help is very scarce and 
high. Horses very low, unless very large 
and good quality. Cows from $00 to 
$150. as to quality. Hay selling at auc¬ 
tion at $18 to $21, good quality ; oats, 70 
to 90c per bu. I was at one Auction and 
with a good crowd oats could not be sold 
at 70c. Barley, $1.05 to $1.13. g. b. o.

This is a dairying community mostly. 
The milk goes to Scranton at League 
prices. The farmers are getting inter¬ 
ested in a corporation to handle milk and 
buy feed, with headquarters at the county 
seat. The open Winter has probably in¬ 
jured the hay and Winter grain to some 
extent. We are hoping for an early 
Spring. All things are bringing good 
prices at auction. Current prices for 
products are: Cows, $100 to $200 for 
grades; horses, $100 up; chickens, live, 
34c; hogs, 22c, dressed; eggs, 35c; oats. 
85c; wheat, $2.10; potatoes, 85c; hay, 
$20, loose. We are paying for mill feeds 
as follows: Cottonseed, $3.10; oilmeal, 
$8.20; corn. $2.90; gluten, $3.10: bran. 
$2.70; wheat feed, $2.70. Farm help is 
scarce and wages high. S. H. Y.

The United States Separator was good 
enough several years ago to set the world’s 
record for close skimming, but that was 
only a milestone in its development. Refine¬ 
ments of construction and operation, since added, 
have anticipated every need of the modem dairy. 
* ! , r 
Within two years seven exclusive patents have 
been granted on the United States Disc Separator. 
Mechanical perfection has been 
added to perfect skimming.

DISC SEPARATOR 
We are ’seated about 18 miles north of 
Pittsburg on the banks of the Allegheny 
River. In a radius of six miles the pop¬ 
ulation is about 00,000. about half for¬ 
eign born and colored, with numerous sa¬ 
loons owned by foreign-born people. Nu¬ 
merous workships and mines, wages high¬ 
er than evCr known around the mines. 
Land is selling from $500 to $1,000 per 
acre within a radius of three miles from 
the river, and land can be bought for 
from $40 to $50 per acre with coal and 
gas reserved eight or 10 miles back in the 
country. Farming is deplorably neglect¬ 
ed. The farmers take life very easy ; keep 
a few cows and sell their milk to the mid¬ 
dleman. who has about as much as the 
producer. Nearly all sell thuir milk and 
buy oleomargarine. Most of the land is 
very poor. It has been a very mild Win¬ 
ter. The farmers take no interest in 
stock; all horses and cows bought, no 
Sheep and occasionally a farmer with a 
.couple of pigs. There is only one farm¬ 
hand within five miles. About on^-third 
of the milk is shipped here, and sells for 
36c per gal. Milk is all sold by the gal¬ 
lon; had retailed for 15c per qt. The 
town folks depend on the middleman for 
their vegetables. All mill feed, $50 to 
$100 per ton; hay. $30; straw, $18; 
wheat, $2.30; oats. 90c; corn, $2.10; po¬ 
tatoes, $2; dressed pork, 28 to 30c. per 
lb.; apples, 7 to 10c per lb. No fruit in 
the county. Cabbage, 5 to 10c per head: 
pumpkins, 15 to 25c each. The fuel used 
is gas and coal, which is abundant, and 
the consumer is charged high prices for 
same. B. C. M.

“Why do you sign your name Norali?” 
asked a teacher of one of the Chinese boys 
in his class. “Don’t you know that 
Norali is a girl’s name?” “O, ho.” was 
the reply. “Norali is the name of the 
famous American who built the ark.”—

Strong 
and 
Handsome 
Craine Triple Wall Silos 
are the strongest silos 
made and eliminate the 
necessity of ugly, bother¬ 
some loose hoops and lugs. 
They harmonize with the finest 
farm buildings, because of 
their smooth, handsome ap¬ 
pearance, effected by the fa¬ 
mous, patented, continuous 
Crainelox covering, w hich 
forms the 3rd and outside 
wall. Inside is an inner wall 
of closely fitted staves, in be¬ 
tween is a wall of special, 
thick weather-proof felt. 
This 3-wall construction keeps 
keeps warmth in and cold out; 
it is a real air-tight frost-re¬ 
pelling and strongly supported 
silo. Once erected, it stays 
put without tinkering. 
Thousands of farmers are re¬ 
building old twisted, tipped 
and collapsed stave silos into 
beautiful 3-wall Craine Silos 
at about y> the cost of a new 
one. Get" our plan for re¬ 
building old silos.
