Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 3, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo¬ 
tations covers the qualities on hand at 
the time. The best grade of most fruits 
and vegetables, live stock and poultry on 
sale one week may be much better or 
poorer than next week's offerings, so that 
a lower top price on such products does 
not necessarily mean a lower general mar¬ 
ket. This does not apply to butter, cheese 
and eggs, which are more thoroughly 
standardized. 
milk PRICES. 
New York, for October, $3.11 per 1 (X) 
lbs. for 3 per cent milk at points 200 to 
210 miles from the city, with 4c per 100 
additional for every tenth of 1 per cent 
butterfat over 3. Retail prices for bot¬ 
tled milk are: Grade A, 18c; Grade B. 
10c. 
Putter. 
The heavy advance in prices lias been 
checked, and top grades of creamery have 
settled down a little under last week's 
figures. Storage is moving out a little 
more freely at a range of 57 to 00c.

S°od, others very poor. Oue man sold 
only 4L bu. from five acre**. Potatoes 
about normal yield, but rotting badly, 
some claiming only 50 per cent rot. Ap¬ 
ples very scarce, except very few orchards 
that were well protected. One of our 
neighbors reports $108.85 from one tree, 
which I think by description of apple is 
the Duchess of Oldenburg. Plums and 
cherries, none: grapes and pears, very 
good. The hay crop on new meadows was 
about normal, while old meadows were 
very poor. Corn, at mill, $3.80 per 100

per bu.; grapes. $1.50 to $3. Although 
the season has been extremely wet the 
farmers are getting along well with their 
work: some thrashing to do vet. Our 
first killing frost came on Sept. 25. Nearly 
all corn was cut. we arc getting quite 
a number of foreign people in our section. 
They seem to get along very well after 
getting our mode of farming. They are 
mostly Polish people and very iudus- 
triows- C. M. K.

Right and Wrong 
Methods in 
Farming 
A farmer raised 90 
bushels of corn per 
acre; his neighbor 
across the road got 
only 25 bushels per 
acre. Climate and 
rainfall were the 
same. The difference 
in yield was the result 
of different methods 
used in seeding, in 
preparing the soil, in 
harvesting. One man 
adopted the newest 
and most successful 
discoveriesof farming 
authorities through¬ 
out the country. The 
unsuccessful farmer 
depended entirely on 
his own experience. 
Right and Wrong 
Farming Methods 
—the simplest ways to cut down on labor 
—the most approved methods of vitalizing your soil 
—thesoundest principles of improving thedairy herd 
—the experts’ discoveries for growing record crops 
—the practical methods of increasing stock profits 
—the most advantageous marketing plans. 
Told by over 100 of America's 
Greatest Farming Authorities 
A thousand and one new farming discoveries have 
been made by men who are revolutionizing crop and 
livestock results. These new ideas are quickly re¬ 
claiming soils formerly thought hopeless; are securing 
startling butter fat production; are forcing hogs to 
market earlier and bigger on less feed; are doubling and 
trebling farming profits in every climate and locality; 
are cutting down labor needs by saving work in a hun¬ 
dred ways. A nd now these secrets 
have been made public. 
The Discoveries of Specialists 
Just as we have the physician who specializes on 
one particular branch of medicine, so we have the 
farmer who specializes on one particular branch of 
farming. At an expense of over $50,000 for editorial 
material alone, the successful farming experiences 
of recognized authorities and specialists in all parts 
of the country have been collected and placed within the covers 
of Farm Knowledge. Never before has a work of this scope and 
value been produced. Farm Knowledge contains the results of 
actual experience in improving methods and increasing profits; 
it was specially written in interesting and easy-to-understand 
language. Up-to-the-minute in every way, yet it upholds every 
method that has proved its merit.
