Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 6, 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 be6t 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 market. 
This does not apply to butter, cheese and 
eggs, which are more thoroughly stand¬ 
ardized. 
MILK PRICES.

Buffalo Markets 
The season is about as open as it was 
through the Summer. In sheltered 
places such crops as green beans and to¬ 
matoes were picked in ordinary condi 
tion on November 1, though the unfor 
tuuate freeze of October 7th cut off most 
of the tender stuff. There is plenty of 
evervthing, though, owing to the peculiar 
condition of the milk and butter market 
the price of butter still soars. Many 
very large potatoes of the new variety 
called Heavyweight are in the market.

ery, 56 to 65c for dairy, 55 to 63c for 
crocks, 47 to SOc for common, 29 to 3Sc 
for oleomargarine. Cheese is quiet but 
firm at 35 to 36c for longhorns and 
bricks; 32 to 34c for fiats and daisies,

Cows like it. A complete

more milk than yours and 
I never force them—” 
You cannot govern the fat per¬ 
centage of milk and you cannot 
force the cow to yield more than 
a healthy normal supply without 
ruining the cow. Therefore, the 
obvious course is to bring up 
the body endurance, health and 
strength to the very highest point. 
When we effect this, we secure 
the greatest milk yield and the 
richest milk that nature intended 
that particular breed of cow to 
produce without forcing. 
Badger Monopoly Feed is the only 
carbohydrate feed of its kind; no 
other feed can provide such body- 
strength and energy. On the 
other hand either Badger Sweet 
Cud or Krause Dairy Feed will sup¬ 
ply the extra protein which is so 
needed for high milk-production. 
When used in combination these 
are the perfect, balanced safe ra¬ 
tion for cows. 
Consult us about your feeding prob* 
lems; for fifteen years we have 
been milling the finest and most 
carefully prepared dairy feeds. 
We are able to advise you how to 
maintain the health of your cows 
and how to keep your milk supply 
up to its fullest extent without 
forcing and ruining your herd

Badger Monopoly Feed is 
milled from cleansed whole 
corn, barley and oats bp out 
individual process. It fur¬ 
nishes an ideal carbohydrate 
portion of the cow’s ration 
because it is bulky, su'eet and 
easily digested—and supplies 
the necessary energy to turn 
feed into milk. Cows like it. 
Badger Sweet Cud is a scien¬ 
tific mixture of alfalfa meal, 
cotton seed meal, gluten feed, 
brewers grains, malt sprouts 
and a small percentage of 
molasses which adds porta¬ 
bility and aroma and induces 
cows to drink their needed 
quantity of water. Cows like it.
