Buffalo Markets 
Again the severe weather, which ex¬ 
tended into March, has staved off the de¬ 
cline in southern-grown produce, which 
has a downward tendency from the late¬ 
ness of the season, and it has pushed up 
potatoes, though eggs continue to decline 
slowly. Some dealers are asking $40 
maximum for baled hay, but that is bound 
to be unsteady till the weather becomes 
more settled. The rule is not much 
change in prices.

OAe ORIGINAL PATENTED PIPELESS FURNACE 
with, tke 'Ihennd-Seal INNER LINING 
In Successful Use Ever Since 1909—the First 
Patented Pipeless Furnace on the Market 
and Today More in Demand Than Ever 
T HE fact that the Homer Pipeless Furnace—the Original 
Patented Pipeless Furnace—has been increasingly success¬ 
ful every year ever since 1909 shows definitely that the Homer 
gives American families the kind of heating service they want. 
The basic idea of the Homer Pipe¬ 
less Furnace is founded on funda¬ 
mental natural laws—and their suc¬ 
cessful application to the heating 
problem has proved of tremendous 
value to the health and comfort of 
American homes. 
One of the exclusive features ob¬ 
tainable only in the Homer—the 
original patented pipeless furnace— 
isitsdistinctiveThermo-Seal Inner 
Lining, preventing heat radiation in 
cellar or basement and permitting 
the safe storage of vegetables and 
fruit. 
The famous Homer Thermo-Seal 
Inner Lining, is made of two sheets 
of heavy galvanized iron, effectively 
insulated with asbestos. This keeps 
the cold air passages cool and hot 
chambers hot. After years of test it has 
been proven that the Thermo-Seal 
Inner Lining is remarkably efficient 
and will last the life of a furnace. 
Write forthe New 1920 Furnace Book which /fives the facts about the Homer 
Patented Pipeless Furnace. You’ll never be disappointed in a Homer. It is the 
longest established pipeless furnace on the market—and the most successful.

The Right Principle 
Hinman Milkers have been successful everywhere 
because they were designed with the correct prin¬ 
ciple at the start—the gradual suction and the complete re¬ 
lease of suction. The individual pump of the Hinman 
applies the vacuum gradually to the cow’s teats, as the 
piston moves outward, and then completely stops suction 
on the back stroke. This is easy, natural and comfortable 
to the cows. 
HINMAN MILKER 
First in Efficiency, first in Simplicity, first in Ease of 
Operation and Cleaning, and lower in cost than other 
standard makes. Used in many of the country’s finest 
dairies, on thousands of the most valuable, record¬ 
making cows. 
Get This Big Catalog 
If you keep cows, at least you want to know how 
milkers work and what they offer. This book, fully 
illustrated, will be very interesting to you and can be had 
free by simply asking. Write for your copy ieday.
