For Better Milk Records 
Give Your Cows Larro 
To improve the milk record on any cow in your herd—feed her 
Larro, according to instructions on the guarantee shown below. 
Remember—two sacks of Larro must increase her milk 
yield or you get your money back! 
Buy Larro Through 
Your Local Dealer 
No matter how much milk your cows 
are producing on their present ration 
Larro is guaranteed to make them 
produce more—and every Larro dealer 
is authorized to carry out this guar¬ 
antee to the letter. If your dealer 
does not have Larro in stock get in 
touch with us direct. 
This is the same guarantee of more milk 
which has stood back of Larro for 
seven years. To the man who is not 
yet a Larro user it is an absolute 
promise of better. results from his 
cows—to the veteran Larro user it 
is double assurance that Larro today 
is the same as it was in the beginning 
—that its quality will never be 
changed.

Milk and Farm News 
I am on a farm of 100 acres, and have 
seen the allotted time of man. All the 
help I have is a man over 60. I have 
20 head of cattle, two horses, four pigs ; 
two miles to creamery once a day, 365 
days in a year. It is 4 A. M. till 7 P. M. 
I know of four farmers in two miles of 
me that have no help. One farmer has 
20 head of cows. I saw him and his wife 
and girl planting potatoes. One man 
told me this morning at the creamery he 
and his wife were all alone, milking 15 
cows, farm of 150 acres. It is about so 
all around. What will the poor chickens 
have to roost on when they come home 
to roost? Poor things; poor things! It 
seems to me the people are getting be¬ 
yond all the laws of God and man. I 
will try to take care of my own roost 
and let the chickens roost where they can. 
What fools we poor mortals are. 
Washington Co.. N. Y. o. w. w. 
Milk. eggs, hay and some wheat are 
sold in this locality. All other grains are 
fed on farms to horses, cows and hogs. 
Hay will be a better crop than last year, 
but not up to normal. Wheat, very poor ; 
some farmers did not get any out. at all 
last Fall, on account of rains. Rye is 
about half a crop; oats look very good at 
this time; so does corn, but it is about 
nvo weeks later, and crows, blackbirds 
and poor seed make some fields look very 
uneven on account of so much replanting. 
Holr> very scarce; lots of farms changing 
hands at higher prices than Civil War 
times. The new owners are foreigners, 
and are making good. They have lots of 
children, brought up to work. These are 
the ones that will help us out. but not un¬ 
til they get from six to 10 years older. 
Fifty years ago there was just such a 
rush of newcomers. Their children stayed 
at home, but their children’s offspring 
flew, and are still flyinsr. hundreds of 
them not satisfied. I know three out of a 
neighbor’s family getting $28 per week 
and one of them $32 per week; all have 
flivvers and girls galore, but am going ti> 
say right here these newcomers are rais¬ 
ing the right stuff. Milk is sold to cream¬ 
ery ; these are seven in a radius of 12 
miles, and they pay according to test. 
Butterfat for May, 06c: eggs for mar- 
ket. 44c. Almost all around here have 
purebred slock, and sell eggs to hatchers 
at 12c per dozen above market quotations 
Philadelphia. Hay. $1.65 per cwt. at 
the press; hogs. live. 14%c lb.; fowls, 
lb., live: veal calves, 17c. live. Near¬ 
ly every farmer who has cows here has i 
silo or two; one man has four. 
Pennsylvania. bucks co. farmer. 
Corn. $2 per bu.; wheat. $3. not much 
on hand. Timothy liav, $42 per ton, less 
freight $1.60. Live poultry. 50c per lb • 
eggs. 4Sc. Potatoes, old, $4 per bu.; 
strawberries,, 25c per box; other fruit and 
truck are bringing good prices. Labor is 
very scarce, and there is less ground uu- 
der the plow than ever before. The sea¬ 
son is backward about two weeks. Very 
little hay is being made as yet. Crop 
will be below the average. Wheat is good 
and poor; some places it was frozen out 
badly, and fields are all more or less this 
\vav; it is well headed, however. Corn 
is away behind : some places just finished 
planting the third week in June. The 
stand, does not look so well; poor seed and 
the birds gave it a bad start. I. L. w.

Prospects for crops are good; almost 
unprecedented hot weather in early June, 
followed by rain, started things blooming. 
* hats heading, pastures abundant; a good 
year so far. Potato bugs stripped 100 
tomato plants of foliage, for the first time 
in my life spent on a farm: but don’t 
feel like blaming the Administration or 
national convention with the depraved 
appetite of “tater bugs.” mrs.t. 
Wright Co., Iowa. 
Butterfat. May. 60*4c; pork, 17 to 
20c. delivered; eggs. 3Se: hay. cut and 
pressed, $25 per ton ; lambs near $10, but 
are reported to be low. partly on account 
of the low price of wool: that is supposed 
to be 25 or 30c. Little pigs, four or five 
weeks old. $5 to $6 each; cows, common, 
from $70 to $00; milk, about 6c per qt. ; 
potatoes, about $3 to $4 per bu.; veal 
calves. 15c: fat cattle, about 9e. Our 
leading product is hay; we raise all kinds 
of grain. Oats look poor. Corn usually 
gives front 40 to 100 bushels to the acre in 
ears; buckwheat from 10 to 40 bushels per 
acre. Wheat looks grand this season, and 
looks as though it might go to 40 bushels 
to the acre this year. Corn is small and 
had to he planted the second time. We 
are large buyers of grain, which is very 
bigh. Meal. $5 per cwt.. it being higher 
than most other grain. The farmers are 
trying to do all they can. Labor is scarce 
and very high. Mechanics are getting 
50c per hour. State road men are getting 
$4 per day. The things we have got to 
buy are going up and those we sell are 
going down, so that if we could get the 
men to work here we could not pay the 
price. I gave $2 yesterday to have shoes 
reset on the team, and have had the same 
work done for 80c. No young men are 
learning the blacksmith’s trade, and L 
think we shall soon be paying twice that 
price. j, w. B-
