Buffalo Markets 
The season develops slowly. Tht tem¬ 
perature averages low and frosts nnll re¬ 
turn, though most of the existing vegeta¬ 
tion seems to be case hardened and able 
to stand it. Even the peach leaves have 
been frozen more than once, and yet they 
merely stand still for a time and then 
grow again. No report of fruit buds 
being killed is heard. The fact that 
strawberries still retail at 40c per qt. 
shows that the Southern crops arc not 
forward either. 
Potatoes are higher. They .sprouted 
badly iu the cellar ou account of the warm 
Winter. Apples, except the imperishable 
Pacific coast ones, are as high as ever. 
Asparagus is becoming cheaper, but it 
w ill be some time before the home-grown 
produet is ready. Potatoes are $1.25 to 
$1.00 per bu. Bermudas have again ap¬ 
peared. after having lieeu ruled out by 
war conditions for some years. They 
wholesale at $11 to $12 per bbl. New 
Floridas are $6.50 to $8.50 per hid. Ap¬

BeHer CreamSeparation 
Why not? The last few years have 
wrought astounding changes and im¬ 
provements in farming methods and 
machinery. The dairy has come in 
for its share, too. 
Although the United States has 
for years held the world’s record for 
close skimming, its designers have now 
added important mechanical improvements 
and refinements that place it still further in 
a class by itself. In less than two years 
seven exclusive patents have been granted 
on the United States Disc Separator. 
Look the United States over, and 
you’ll own one.
