Averaging 86.6 Pounds of Milk 
Per Day From Each Cow 
PHIS is the record of several dairymen 
A who feed Bull Brand Dairy Ration—a 
record made possible by its base of dried 
brewers grains, renowned for its favorable ac¬ 
tion on the secretion of milk. 
Although a 24% feed, “Bull Brand” costs no 
more than many 20% feeds. Some feeds may 
cost you $7.00 a ton less or 
two cents a day for each cow, 
but farmers who have fed 
both have found that Bull 
Brand will produce at least 
two quarts of milk more per 
day for each cow. Two quarts 
are worth fifteen cents. The 
extra cost of feeding Bull 
Brand over some feeds is two 
cents. Your Profit—thirteen 
cents.

Milking- done; the separator run

Either a mussy, fussy period of washing 
up and rc-assembling—or a quick, sani¬ 
tary wash-up that’s a matter of mo¬

-Depends entirely on how wisely 
you’ve selected your separator. 
The Perfected Disc Bowl of the United 
States takes the drudgery out of the 
clean-up. No chance to get the discs 
mixed; they’re interchangeable. Just 
slip them on the handy disc transfer— 
at one stroke—wash in warm water, 
rinse in boiling water, and the job’s done. 
The United States is a Separator you

Live Stock and Dairy 
Tomatoes for Stock 
I notice A. L. H. asks about tomatoes 
for feeding stock. I have not fed them to 
stock, but eating tomatoes myself caused 
me to have a number of boils. The doc¬ 
tor advised me not to eat tomatoes, and 
also told me quite a number of persons 
could not eat tomatoes, as they would 
cause intestinal disorders. No doubt the 
action on the average animal of the acid 
iu the tomatoes would he much similar to 
their action *on the human being. 
Elmhurst, N. y. w. E. T. 
We have fed many bushels of soft to¬ 
matoes to the hogs this season. The hogs 
eat them greedily aud thrive on them. 
The geese are also very fond of tomatoes. 
As for humans, it is true that some people 
are unable to eat tomatoes with satis¬ 
faction. In our own family we eat them 
freely, and all find them very satisfac¬ 
tory. We kuow r people who cannot eat 
strawberries without breaking out with a 
serious rash. M’lk is considered the <v’o 
universal perfect food, yet we have known 
people who were made sick by drinking it. 
Such people could not justly claim that 
all should avoid the use of milk. The 
scientists rank tomatoes well up in the 
scale of useful foods. 
Old Doll Takes Tea with the Boss 
The picture shown below is sent us by 
J. D. Kluemper of Decatur County, In¬ 
diana, who says: 
I anj sending the snapshot of Doll, our 
old favorite and standby, 2.3 years old, 
being 21 years in our possession. In 
many respects she is as spry as a four- 
year-old. -She is stepping up to the lunch 
bu.; apples, no market; hay, $25 ton; 
milk cows, $40 to $50; eggs, 63c doz. • 
poultry, 20 to 23c lb.; Iambs, 9 to 10c 
lb.; hogs. 13c lb. This is a good fanning 
section, but the farmers are discouraged, 
as everything costs so much and markets 
are poor. v. c. 
Tioga Co., Pa. 
The corn crop was good in this section; 
good apple crop. An average acreage 
was sown to wheat this Fall. Ilorse and 
cattle market is very dull now. Best 
mares can be bought for about $150 to 
$175; best cows for about $165. Eggs, 
50c doz ; chickens, 20c lb.; butter, 35c 
lb ; new corn, $1 bu.; potatoes, $1 bu. 
Have had a nice, dry Fall since Septem¬ 
ber 12. w. h. 
Grainger Co., Tenn. 
In this section there was about the 
usual amount of hay and a large apple 
aud email fruit crop. Potatoes bring 
$1.50 bn. ; eggs, 80c doz.; butter, 60c lb. 
The milk trouble caused the price of cows 
to drop to $25 per head, and the farmers 
are not se’Iing. Farm labor is very 
scarce, which makes the Fall work drag 
slowly, but weather conditions have been 
very favorable and no one seems to he 
discouraged. We are looking for better 
times. M. k. 
Fulton Co., N. Y. 
I am situated in a curve of the Monon- 
gahela lliver; about seven miles »as f v-,> 
have the Youghiogheny River, with little 
towns all along each river, and the farms 
are all cut up into small tracts. I would 
hardly know where to go at this writing 
to buy a load of corn, while, of course, 
some few have a little to sell. When 1 
buy feed I go to our feed store, and pay 
big prices. I paid for corn during the 
middle of the Summer $2.40 per bu.; the 
last I bought, about October 1, paid 
$2.15. One of my neighbors has gone to 
' The How and Old 
table for a cup of tea and a few apples. 
We are certainly glad to see a picture of 
old Doll eating her breakfast just as 
though she were a member of the family, 
and we hope she will have one of those 
good apples shown on the plate. A horse 
like old Doll, after living with the family 
all through the years, ought to he con¬ 
sidered, not only as a member of the fam¬ 
ily, but a privileged member as well. 
You can always tell a good farmer by the 
way lie handles and cares for his fine old 
animals that have been with him through 
sunshine and storm, helping him to carry 
on the farm. Old Doll is almost a human 
being, and we are glad to know that she 
has a home where, she will have a chance 
to rejoice in her old age. 
Milk and Crop Notes 
Our warehouses and millers are at this 
date paying farmers $1 90 for wheat, 
$1.15 for rye, $1 for old corn. 60c for 
onts. First-class apples, York Imperial, 
$1 per bu.; Stayman. $1.50; culls and 
seconds. 50e to $1. The apple prices are 
without container, and are bought by 
dealers. Potatoes, $1 to $1.25 in the 
towns and villages to consumers. Plight 
rot is had, aud many have been lost. 
Wheat was about 60 per cent of average 
yield; rye, SO per cent; corn, 100 per 
cent; oats, 125 per cent: apples, 150 per 
cent; potatoes, 75 per cent. Quality A 
No. 1 of each, except potatoes. Farm la¬ 
bor is $3 per day of 10 hours, but speed 
or production of that labor is hut half to 
two-th'rds of forme’’ days, thus making a 
cost of $4.50 to $5 to produce what $1 
to $1 50 produced four and more years 
ago. The expected pressure on the farmer 
will be met by the older farmer experi¬ 
enced in economy, but the younger are 
apt to fall. H. li. L.

Milk sold to the Helvetia condenscry

Ohio to buy a car of corn. Our farmers 
are in all kinds of business besides their 
farming. Some do hauling, some running 
coal, some iu the truck garden, and others 
in the dairy business. Farmers were sell¬ 
ing wheat at $2 per bu., and they had only 
began husking corn Election Day. There 
are only a few in the dairy business now, 
feed and labor being too high. H. F. w. 
Westmoreland Co., Pa. 
The farmers of my district, which is 
the eastern portion of Union and the 
western portion of Northumberland Coun¬ 
ties. a'ong the Susquehanna River, have 
good crops this year. The principal crops 
raised here are wheat, corn, oats, rye, 
potatoes and general warden truck. Fruits 
and berries were plentiful, but lower in 
price than the preceding two or three 
years. The Fall seeding of wheat is 
large in growth, owing to the late Fall, 
with warm and wet weather. Many ap¬ 
ples are not yet harvested. M-uny cider 
apples went to was‘c on account of scar¬ 
city of labor and barrels or containers. 
Peaches were plenty, and sold for $1 to 
$2 per ha'f-bushel basket. Apples are a 
drug on the market. The fanners are 
getting from 40c to $1 perbu. for extra 
choice lots. Potatoes were an unusually 
good cron, hut many rotted in the field. 
They sold from the field from 50c to $ 1.25 
per bu. Many farmers rushed their po¬ 
tatoes to market on account of the rot. 
Wheat at present is $2.10 to $2.20, and 
rye about the same ’>er bushel. Corn is 
selling out of the field from 75c to $1 
per bu. of 80 lbs; oats, 70c per bu.; 
sweet potatoes, $2 per bu ; eggs, 70c per 
doz. The farmers had sold their milk to 
the Nestle Food condenscry at Lewisburg, 
Pa., hut that closed down. Now the 
farmers must make butter, which is sell¬ 
ing at 52c per lb. This district also has 
a large production c*€ milk. The outlook 
for the farmer is good, although machin¬ 
ery is high in price and labor hard to get.
