Water Is Cheap Feed! 
Milk is 87% water,two-thirda of which must be taken 
into the_ cow’8_ system as water. No matter how 
much high-priced feed you give your cows, they 
cannot produce their maximum flow of milk on only 
two drinks of water a day—especially when turned 
out in winter weather to a tank of ice-cold water. 
A constant supply of fresh water, tempered, al> 
ways before the cow, means more milk in the pail- 
more profit for you. Many dairymen have increased 
their milk yield from 26% to 40% by the installation of 
Detachable Water Bowls 
Not only increase the milk yield, but save all tho 
time of watering the herd. Quickly detached and 
cleaned. Have the famous strainer-in-the-valvs 
feature —will not overflow and flood the bam. 
Valve seat, valve stem and strainer are brass — 
proof against rusting, sticking and trouble which 
insures Tong years of satisfactory service. Water 
cannot flow from one bowl to another — prevents 
spreading of disease through water. Easily install¬ 
ed in any barn with any kind of stalls. You can 
do the work yourself.

Many Farm Sales in New 
Jersey 
W. H. BULLOCK 
F arm sales have been the order of- 
the day in the last few weeks 
throughout New Jersey, and the height 
of the season for spring disposal of 
farm property, live stock and equip¬ 
ment is at hand. Considerable interest 
has been shown in the sale of horses 
at these sales, and teams have been 
sold all the way from $135 to $375 per 
pair, the latter figure being high at the 
sales and only for sound animals well 
broken into the work. A number of 
cars of horses from Illinois and other 
parts of the Middle West have recently 
been received at several points in New 
Jersey, local dealers selling them to 
their regular customers. 
At some of the public sales, good 
grade cows have sold at $90 to $95 
apiece, a few high producing animals 
occasionally going as high as $175. 
Hay has been sold at the farm at $15 
to $22 per ton, while good timothy 
offered through dealers at local points 
in the southern part of the State, has 
brought around $25. 
Scarcity of Farm Labor 
Farm labor is reported scarce through 
many sections of the State. At such 
points as Allentown and Hightstov/n, 
N, J., buses full of laboring men go 
daily into such towns as Trenton and 
New Brunswick, the same men previ¬ 
ously being available for farm work. 
A large rower in the vicinity of Allen¬ 
town said that 30 men daily commute 
to the city for work, whereas 25 of these 
same men previously were available for 
work on the farms in his vicinity. 
Fruit Buds Reported Healthy 
The consistent cold weather of Feb¬ 
ruary and March was favorable for 
the protection of peach buds generally 
throughout New Jersey, despite a tem¬ 
porary rise of temperature during the 
first few days of March. The cold 
weather and snow have maintained the 
trees in a dormant state and have pre¬ 
vented too rapid development of the 
buds. Although too early in the season 
to give a definite d&timate on the con¬ 
dition of peach buds throughout the 
State, scattering reports now available 
indicate a healthy condition and the 
promise for a good bloom, all other con¬ 
ditions being equal between now and 
May. Orchardists also report that the 
cold weather has been effective in con¬ 
trolling some of the orchard pests. It 
has also made wild deer more bold in 
Atlantic, Ocean and Cumberland coun¬ 
ties, bringing the animals nearer to the 
farm houses, with considerable damage 
reported to young trees. 
The county agents of Southeastern 
New Jersey, in conjunction with the 
State Experiment Station and the New 
Jersey State Bureau of Markets, re¬ 
cently conferred for the purpose of urg¬ 
ing more attention to the standardiza¬ 
tion of sweet potatoes. It was felt that 
the U. S. grades should be adopted and 
that the growers should acquaint con¬ 
sumers with the merits of such stand¬ 
ardization so that sweet potatoes might 
be more generally consumed next year 
and at a price nearer to the cost of pro¬ 
duction. The growers are asking New 
Jersey consumers to order definitely ac¬ 
cording to grade. The grades selected 
are: N. J. U. S, Fancy No. 1, No.' 2, and 
Jumbo. The No. 1, which is the general 
commercial pack, runs 1% to 3 inches 
in diameter with a length between 4 
and 8 inches. However, the length may 
be less than 4 inches if the diameter is 
2 inches or more. To qualify for the 
grade, the sweet potatoes must be sound 
and practically free from dirt, disease 
and other injury. 
Notes from the Counties 
Hunterdon Co.—At the recent meet¬ 
ing of the Flemington Fair Association, 
the fair dates for next summer were 
set as August 21 to 26. Officers for

ident; F. R. Williamson, Vice Presi¬ 
dent; A, S. Case, Treasurer; Dr. C. S. 
Harris, Secretary, Horace P. Murphy, 
Race Secretary. The Flemington Fair 
is annually one of the best racing 
classics among the smaller associations. 
The general fair attractions are also 
splendid and plans are being made for 
an even better event this coming sea¬ 
son.

A Silo that 
locks together 
T he Harder patented Spline 
Dowel combined with a 
square tongue and groove on the 
staves produce in the Harder, a 
silo that will never lean or shear, 
or become less efficient than the 
first day it was built. 
To be satisfactory,a silo must ex¬ 
clude air absolutely. That is the 
Harder principle. 
When a Harder is built, it is 
there to stay. You will never find 
the name “Harder” on a leaning 
silo.
