Don't let your stock lose their Summer’s gain 
through November .neglect. Your animals are 
now going on dry feed — hay and grain. 
It’s a big change from the succulent, nutritious 
grasses of summer pastures 
which supply the needed 
laxatives and tonics. 
Keep your animals’ bowels 
open and regular—drive out 
the worms— keep their 
blood rich and keep their 
digestion good by feeding 
Keep your stock up on their appetites. Don’t allow 
them to “get off feed” and in a run-down condition. 
Condition your cows for calving by feeding Dr. Hess 
Stock Tonic before freshing. Then feed it regularly to in¬ 
crease the flow of milk. It lengthens the milking period. 
Buy Stock Tonic according to the size of your herd. 
Here’s a suggestion for your guidance: Get from your 
dealer two pounds for each average hog, five pounds 
for each horse, cow or steer, to staid with, feed as 
directed and then watch results. 
Why Pay the Peddler Twice My Price? 
You buy Dr. Hess Stock Tonic at an honest 
price from a responsible dealer in your own 
town who guarantees it, and who refunds 
your money if it does not do as claimed. 
25-lb. Pall, $2.25; 100-lb. Dram, $7.50 
Except in the far West, South aud Canada.

Crops and Farm News 
..We had our 1919 first. Fall killing frost 
October 11, 23 degrees Falir. j. p. o. 
Fond du Lac Co., Wis. 
In this section the acreage of wheat 
seeding is about 90 to 95 per cent of 
former years. There will be no more 
cattle fed than usual this Winter. 
W ay no Co., N. Y. w. e. o. 
Farmers have their Fall work in Frank¬ 
lin County well under way, and are com¬ 
pleting the potato harvest this week with 
a light crop and low price of 90c per bu. 
at shipping points. Growers are not re¬ 
ceiving more than cost for production. 
Consequently many farmers will go out of 
potato raising in this section next year. 
There is more help than last year, but 
farmers must pay from .$3 to $5 for go. 4 
laborers. Eggs, 5Sc; butter, 65e. ChicV 
ens. live, 25 to 2Se per lb. Squash, Gc par

Franklin Co., N. Y. 
Our section of country is mostly dairy¬ 
ing; few farms over 100 acres and from 
six to 12 cows. Cream is sold to local 
creameries, and last Summer we got up to 
64c for butter. Almost every farmer has 
a few sheep; wool sold up to 65c; lambs 
in boarding season 16c ; now 14c. Fork. 
17c, live; 24c dressed, and we pay now to 
the butcher 40c per lb. We raise oats, a 
very little wheat, corn aud buckwheat. 
Oats a light crop: the grasshoppers de¬ 
stroyed about one-third ; buckwheat, about 
25 bu. to the acre. Buckwheat selling at 
our local mill for $2.50 per cwt. Cows 
out of sight in price; sold a pair of Jer¬ 
sey grades two weeks ago, six and seven 
years old, for $1.80. Chickens and eggs in 
boarding season away up. Chicken up to 
50c per lb,; eggs the highest level in Au¬ 
gust, 70c. and in Summer the roads were 
over-ruil with boarders paying from $10 
tip. Apples picked and put in barn sold 
for $4 per bbl^; oats in mill sold this Sum¬ 
mer for $1.05; now 94c. Most of our 
truit growers spray and we have our or¬ 
chards in sod and manure about every 
second year. We farmers, when we save 
a little and spend it on our places, are 
contented, but there are a good many dis¬ 
contented ones, who claim they never 
make a cent, and are overburdened with 
work. A good many farms changing hands 
lately, and everyone buying is a city man. 
j My section here is all city folks. In the 
j Summer for throe months I sell my milk 
j for 10c a quart and cream 50c a quart.
