SAW LOGS AND FELL TREES 
THIS QUICKJASY WAY 
WITTE Log-Saw Does the Work of 
10 Men at 1/20 the Cost — 
Saws 25 Cords a Day 
You can clear your place easily and 
quickly with a dependable log and tree 
saw that delivers a big surplus of power 
necessary to fast sawing. 
Such an outfit is the Witte Log-Saw 
which has met such sensational success. 
The WICO Magneto equipped Witte 
is known as the standard of power saws— 
fast cutting, with a natural “arm-swing” 
and free from the usual log-saw troubles. It 
burns kerosene, gasoline or distillate so econom¬ 
ically that a full day’s work costs only twenty- 
two cents. 
Hundreds of Witte users make big money every 
year from their outfits, as payment for felling 
trees and sawing logs is very good. 
Wm. Middlestadt, Iowa, reports that the 
Witte has replaced forty men using buck-saws. 
Hundreds of users saw as much as twenty-five 
cords a day. 
Mr. Witte says that the average user of a 
Witte Log and Tree saw can make easily $50.00 
a day with the outfit and so confident is he that 
he oilers to send the complete combination log 
and tree saw on ninety days’ free trial to anyone 
who will write to him. The prices are lowest in 
history and under the method of easy payments 
spread over a year, only a few dollars down 
puts the Witte to work for you. 
If you are interested in making more money 
sawing wood and clearing your place at small 
cost, write Mr. Witte today at the Witte Engine 
Works, 6806 Witte Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., or 
6806 Empire Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa., for full 
details of this remarkable offer. You are under 
no obligation by writing.

Reviewing the Latest Eastern Markets 
MILK PRICES 
HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative As¬ 
sociation announces the following prices the 
dealers will pay the League during the month 
of October for milk testing 3 per cent, in the 
basic zone of 201-210 miles from New York 
City: Class 1, milk used chiefly for fluid 
purposes, $2.60 per 100 pounds; Class 2A, used 
chiefly as fluid cream, $1.90. If skim-milk is 
used for any other purposes, additional pay¬ 
ment over this base price is added, depending 
on use. Class 2B, used chiefly in the manu¬ 
facture of plain condensed milk and ice-cream, 
$2.05; Class 2C, used chiefly in the manufac¬ 
ture of soft cheese, $2.05; Class 3, used chiefly 
in the manufacture of whole milk and sweet¬ 
ened whole condensed milk, powdered and 
evaporated whole milk, $1.45; Classes 4A and 
4B, based on butter and American cheese 
quotations on the NeW York market. 
Sheffield Producers 
The Sheffield Farms Company Producers 
announce the following prices for October for 
3% milk in the 201 to 210-mile freight zone 
until further notice; Class 1, $2.60 per 100; 
Class 2, $1.70; Class 3, $1.55; Class b, to bo 
determined by market quotations of butter 
and cheese. 
Non-pool Cooperative 
The Non-Pool Dairymen’s Cooperative 
October price for Class 1 milk is $2.40 per 100 
pounds; Class 2, $1.85; Class 3A, $1.55; Class 
SB, $1.45, until further notice. 
Interstate Producers 
The Interstate Milk Producers’ Association 
(Philadelphia Price Plan) announces that 
receiving station prices, or the price to farmers 
in the 201 to 210-miles zone from Philadelphia 
for 3% milk is $2.19. In the 101 to 110-mile 
zone the price is $2.29. 
September Pool Prices 
The Dairymen’s League announces that the 
September gross pool price for 3% milk ki the 
201-210 mile zone, is $1.93. From this there 
will be deducted 8j^c for expenses, which leaves 
$1.84 as a net pool price. There will also be 
deducted 10c on the certificates of indebted¬ 
ness which leaves a NET CASH price to the 
farmer of $1.74)^. The NET CASH price for 
August was $1.53b£. The NET CASH price 
for September, 1923, was $2.10. 
BETTER TONE TO BUTTER 
During the week ending October 18, the 
butter market took on a decidedly better tone 
and prices advanced. Creamery, scoring 
higher than 92 score, is now selling in the 
neighborhood of 40c while 92 score butter is 
selling between 39c and 40c. However, this 
improvement is more or less restricted to these 
finer grades. The market still feels the heavy 
pressure of excessive stores of medium grades 
and lower qualities. As a consequence the 
range of offerings is widening and indications 
are that this is going to continue. 
As a whole there seems to he a more opti¬ 
mistic feeling in the butter market. Reports 
indicate that the consumptive demand is fairly 
large and is showing enough force to keep the 
arrivals of fancy marks pretty well cleaned up. 
The sore spot in the market is in the lower 
grade goods. There has been some hopes that 
England would furnish an outlet* for these 
medium grade goods, but it develops that 
such is not the case. Europe offers an excellent 
outlet for fancy American butter and such is 
selling well on English markets. Lower quali¬ 
ties are dragging heavily and the trade in New 
York is strongly advised by those who know, 
not to attempt to merchandise anything but 
the finest stock abroad. 
The chain stores have been a decided factor 
during this week in maintaining an active 
market. These chain stores have been buying 
heavily and with the regular jobbing trade 
showing considerable activity in the face of 
good consumptive demand, the market has 
taken on a firmer tone. Receipts have been 
sufficient to meet current needs so that any 
hopes for a shortage of arrivals and a conse¬ 
quent drawing on storage has not materialized. 
CHEESE MARKET STILL QUIET 
The cheese market continues to drag along 
the same as it has for the past several weeks. 
Trading is inactive and a dull tone prevails. 
The market seems to be turning somewhat 
weaker. Average run fresh New York State flats 
can be bought anywhere from 18c to 19c and it 
is pretty hard to get over 20c for real fancy 
goods. Held flats in general are a cent higher 
all along the line, compared to fresh stock. 
EGGS TAKE BIG JUMP 
Fancy nearby eggs are actually scarce and 
competitive bidding has resulted in much 
higher prices. The very fanciest Jersey and 
other nearby hennery whites, extremely 
closely graded, are bringing anywhere from 76c 
to 82c, depending on package and general 
quality. Nearbys that grade only as firsts 
are bringing from 55 c to 62c, while extra 
firsts and average extras vary from 64c to 75c. 
Nearby gathered whites that grade anywhere 
from firsts to extra first bring 55c to 69c. Even 
“undergrade whites” are bringing 45c. Pul¬ 
lets known as “pewees” or tiny eggs, are bring¬ 
ing 35c to 40c. It is a good plan to keep those 
eggs home. At any rate in view of the present 
market, a man is following a very poor policy 
if he tries to slip any small eggs into a real fancy 
crate. In other words, a half-dozen pewees 
or small eggs will pull down the price of a case 
of average whites say from 65c to 70c to as low 
as 45c or 50c. When the trade begins to bid 
against itself and prices get where they are 
now, buyers are very discriminating. But 
when a man has got the goods, he gets the 
price. 
The strength of the market is chiefly on very 
fancy goods. There are ample intermediate 
and lower grades to supply the demand. From 
that it may be seen that the quality man has 
got things all his way at the present time. 
LIVE POULTRY MARKET STEADY 
The live poultry market is holding fairly 
steady, although prices are not quite as strong 
as they were a week ago. It must be a very 
fine consignment to bring 32c for fowls. Most 
business is being done at a slightly lower figure. 
However, real fancy goods, colored will bring 
the price. White Leghorn fowls are not doing 
nearly as well. In fact they are selling slowly. 
Express chickens are in the neighborhood of 
26c and 27c for colored stock while Leghorn 
roosters are lc to 2c lower. Supplies are 
ample, the freight market bringing in ample sup¬ 
plies to meet the demand with some accumula¬ 
tions in some quarters. This has a tendency 
to put a slight damper on the express market. 
GRAINS AND FEED 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed October 11. 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased per ton, and grain 
per bushel, in straight carlots through billed from Western 
points, delivered on track at points in the freight zones as 
indicated. Mixed carlots cost approximately $2 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers 
depending upon their individual cost of doing business, volume 
handled, etc. In the case of feeds the retail price may some¬ 
times be as high as $5 per ton above the wholesale prices given 
in this report.

For points taking New York rate add to Albany price 
cents on oats; $4 cent on corn, 10 cents on cottonseed meal; 
and 20 cents on other feeds. 
POTATOES VERY CHEAP, 
Potatoes are the cheapest in years. Maines 
are offered at $1.05 per hundredweight deliv¬ 
eries in New York. Freight is 65c which 
leaves 40c to the grower from which he must 
deduct loading charges. The best price offered 
on States is 30c to 35c per bushel, while Long 
Islands are bringing 60c to 65c to the grower. 
HAY MARKET QUIET 
Nothing exciting is going on in the hay 
market. Arrivals have been liberal both via 
rail and water. As a matter of fact it looks as 
though a little weakness is developing. Top 
quotations are a little hard to get. $26 seems 
to be about the.top price on No. 2 hay and 
while No. 1, which is scarce, will bring $27 and 
$28 at the outside. Small bales in general are 
at least $1 a ton under large bales. 
LIVE CALVES STEADY 
The live calf market has had a steadier 
tendency of late. Real fancy prime veals are 
worth anywhere from $14 to $14.50 with offer¬ 
ings ranging down to $8.50 for common slock 
and culls will bring anywhere from $7 to $8. 
Anything that is fair to good will bring from 
$12.50 to $13.50. 
What Consumers Pay For 
(Continued from page 280 ) 
A very large proportion of our national 
egg yield is placed in artificial refrigerators 
during the spring months of peak produc¬ 
tion and are taken out when the hens 
have their vacation in the fall. Cold 
storage eggs are just as good as fresh eggs 
for many purposes and yet one can hardly 
buy them in retail stores. Eggs are either 
“fresh” or “strictly fresh” or “New 
Laid.”
