ing. The wonder isi that no great decline oc¬ 
curred in view of the heavy supplies that have 
been rolling in from all directions. It is plain 
that many dealers and probably many con¬ 
sumers, too, have been getting a Winter supply 
while the getting is good. Unless the crops 
were under estimated, which there is no reason 
to suspect in a general way, it. will not be so 
easy to purchase later in the season as during 
the past two months. 
It is one of the few seasons when one would 
almost risk advising a grower not to hurry in 
clearing out his potato crop, for instance, if he 
has enough good storage room. Rate of ship¬ 
ment has been slowing down fast in November. 
The States which have been rushing potatoes to. 
market are somewhat new in the business, 
especially North and South Dakota. They had 
to sell, because most growers owed money and 
few had any kind of permanent storage facili¬ 
ties. Prices in producing sections range from 
$1 to $2 per 100 lbs., according to section 
mainly. The high cost of freight makes dis¬ 
tance for market a bad handicap.

times used to heat Western farmhouses. At 
that time almost everything else was cheap, too, 
and farmers could exchange their corn for more 
goods than they can get now. If history re¬ 
peats, t,he turning point cannot be far off. 
Hay and live stock also sell low in the West. 
Steers are $4 to $10 per 100 lbs.; cows, $2.50 
to $3.50; sheep, $3 to $6, and so on. Low prices 
for live stock and meats are helping the export 
trade of this country, which has the advantage 
of Australia and New Zealand and of South 
American in quality and nearness to market.

Hope Farm Notes 
(Continued from Page 1332) 
k, i r ^ mn ’\ be sonie truth in oil this, 
but didnt we have a fine time last night’ 
J>nl you ever see happier children? Whv 
you have nearly fiOO pounds of vomig 
stock here that you would not sell for 
•>o(K) a pound, and I know it. You are 
giving them just what you lacked in your 
own youth, and that is recompense for 
some of the things which you know von 
ought not to have done. Of course, it has 
been a hard year, but what of it. now that 
it is over? Go out and look at vour fruit 
trees, and you will find them loaded with 
buds for next season. You have home and 
health—now hang right on to hope. Of 
course, those Red pullets disgraced you as 
layers, but how wonderful thev will he 
in the frying pan. You killed those two 
ducks yesterday. Wait until noon tom or-’ 
row and watch the group around the table 
as Mother carves those ducks, and see 
how successful they were. Don’t let mv 
pessimistic brothers here put out the can¬ 
dle that burns behind love and hope. Thev 
mean well, but they were carved out 
wrong. Brace up! The past is dead! 
Be a live man in the future!” 
I do not know, just how it happened, 
but I felt a little fist pounding away at 
my side, and there was Rose in a little’ 
white wrapper, clean and sweet as the 
flower she is named for, standing before 
me. She had run down to sav “good- 
nigh*-.” 
“Why. I caught you asleep!” she shout¬ 
ed. 
Rut that could not be possible. 1 
glanced up at my good-natured friend who 
had just spoken and it seemed to me that 
as the candle went out the big jovial eve 
winked at me. h w c

Farmers are doing very well this year. 
Milk fair price; hay enough to carry 
them through; also a big crop of coni, 
which is being cut into silage, which will 
carry the farmers through the Winter in 
good shane. About the same number of 
cows milking; price about $100 each; 
beef cows cheap. Potato crop light; 
price about $150 per bushel. Very few 
apples this year. Peaches were a fair 
crop. Eggs 50 cents per dozen. Onions 
good crop, also good price. The onion 
growers are smiling th : s year: last year 
they made nothing. Farm wages from 
$2.50 to $3 a day. j. u.
