p Ae i. Vnnrcolf on this new way of making harness, which is three 
i v»SL 1 Uurscil timesstrongerthanbuckleharness. Beforeyoubuy 
harness, let me send you a set of Walsh No-Buckle Harness on 30 days’ Free 
Trial, to show you why this harness is three times stronger without buckles, 
better looking and handier in every way. If not convinced, send it back at my 
expense. The Walsh is a proven success on thousands of farms for over 8 years. 
Three Times Stronger Than Buckle Harness 
Buckles weaken and tear straps. Walsh lK-inch breeching strap holds over 
1100 lbs. The same strap with buckles will break at the 
buckle at about 350 lbs. pull. Ordinary harness has 68 
buckles. Walsh Harness has no buckles. Easy to see why 
Walsh [ is three times stronger than ordinary harness. 
Packer’s Northern Steer Hide Leather—best that can be tanned. 
COSTS LESS — LASTS TWICE AS LONG 
The Walsh Harness costs less because it saves many a 
dollar in repairs. Users show average repair cost of only 
9 cents per year. No patching, no mending, because no 
rings to wear straps in two, no buckles to weaken and tear 
straps. Greatest advance in harness making. Easily adjust¬ 
ed to fit any horse. Write today for new reduced prices.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT 
ANNUAL MEETING OF 
NATIONAL GRANGE 
ROBABLY the outstanding resolutions 
adopted at the annual meeting of the 
National Grange were 
those requesting the 
installation of a dairy 
bureau in the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture; 
the recommendation of 
a gasoline tax for the 
support of highway 
construction and men¬ 
ace; endorsement of 
cooperative market¬ 
ing; sanctioning the 
plan of the Secretary 
of Treasury to dis¬ 
continue the issuance 
of tax-free securities 
and urging in time of 
war a draft of wealth 
and industry as well as 
men for the army. 
The election of L. J. 
Taber of Ohio as Mas¬ 
ter of the National 
Grange is looked upon 
as a compromise be¬ 
tween the radicals and 
the conservatives. 
The NationalGrange 
now claims a membership of 1,000,000 scattered 
over every State in the Union. Records show 
a growth of 80,000 in the past four years. It 
is also stated that during this period 855 new 
subordinate granges have been organized. Fi¬ 
nancially the National Grange is in an excep¬ 
tionally healthy condition. 
This year’s meeting was declared by the 
officials to be the most successful in many 
years. The attendance was much larger than 
early estimates indicated. Thirteen States 
are represented on the new staft of officers 
elected at this meeting, which were announced 
in last week’s American Agriculturist. The 
Slates represented on the staff range from 
Idaho in the West to New Jersey in the East 
and Vermont in New England. 
NEW YORK FARM NEWS 
Rensselaer Co.—Cider mills are running on 
full time. H. P. Hood & Son are enlarging 
their ice ponds. Many farmers are reducing 
their flocks of sheep. The onion crop this 
year yielded heavily and at the present time 
is practically all in the buyers’ hands. Grow¬ 
ers received a fair price. Several of our well- 
to-do farmers are going to Florida to spend 
the winter. Several of them have been doing 
nicely in the real estate business down south.— 
C. H. Y. 
Greene Co.—The dry spell of the past season 
was mighty severe on crops. Hay made only 
a half a crop. Pears were almost a complete 
failure. The apple crop was also less than 
half. In orchards, especially which were not 
sprayed, the fruit was very poor. On the 
other hand potatoes turned out fairly well. 
They are bringing $1.25 a bushel now. They 
have been higher in some sections. Buck¬ 
wheat is bringing $1.00 a bushel, corn $1.40. 
Fresh cows are in good demand and are bring¬ 
ing good prices. Hay is bringing $20 a ton. 
Along the Southern Tier of New York 
Potato digging is out of the way now. The 
crop was better than it looked as if it would 
be at one time. Potatoes are being carried at 
Whitney Point for 75 cents a bushel. At the 
stores and the Endicott-Johnson market about 
one dollar is the ruling price. 
Considerable fall plowing has been done in 
this county and vicinity. For a time the soil 
was too dry to do good work, but an abundance 
of rain removed this handicap. 
A piece of road northeast from Main village 
a mile in length has been improved. It was 
formerly a very heavy road and the macadam 
is very much appreciated. It should be carried 
on farther, however. 
Still another highway project is the promised 
building of a road along the south line of the 
Lackawanna R. R., from Westover to Gray’s 
Crossing, eliminating an overhead crossing 
which has been one of the most dangerous in 
this part of the country.—E. L. V. 
NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL 
WEEK, JANUARY 15-18 
Agricultural Week in New Jersey will extend 
from January 15 to 18 inclusive. The Farm 
Products Show will be held at Trenton, N. J. 
This show has become one of the features of 
the agricultural program of the State. Every 
year the features of agricultural week are 
becoming more popular. One of the outstand¬ 
ing points of last year’s Farm Products’ Show 
was the great display of 
the Jersey Black Giants 
in the Poultry De¬ 
partment. The potato 
exhibits have also be¬ 
come a very attractive 
department of the 
show. 
The official agricul¬ 
tural convention tvill 
be held in the Assembly 
Chamber, State House, 
Wednesday, Decem¬ 
ber 16. 
Mercer Co. — This 
year’s apple crop turned 
out very well. Large 
quantities of poultry 
are going to market. 
The corn crop is also 
good, although some 
fields show considerable 
root rot. The first test 
in the community corn 
shows that the crop is 
to pass free of root rot. 
The farm bureau mem¬ 
bership drive was conducted from November 
12 to 10.— Mhs. J. F. II. 
PENNSYLVANIA FARM NEWS 
The price of eggs lias advanced to war 
figures. Reading, Allentown, Lebanon and 
Harrisburg markets report the prevailing quo¬ 
tations for best grades at 70 to 85 cents per 
dozen. Dressed poultry commands good prices. 
Travels through the farming districts reveal 
a considerable acreage of unhusked corn in 
shocks. The average yield is better than 
expected, while the present value also exceeds 
former figures.— Oliver D. Sciiock. 
Jefferson Co.—The Community Day held 
at the Henderson Grange Hall was a grand 
success. A large crowd was in attendance and 
all greatly appreciated the program of the day. 
The nine schools of the township-put on 
exhibits consisting of art work, agricultural 
products and fancy work. Prizes were awarded 
for these exhibits as follows: First Prize, 
Pifer School—$5. The second prize of $3 went 
to the Henderson School and a third prize of 
$2 was given to the Desire School. 
The program in the afternoon included ad¬ 
dresses by the Reverend Y ictor M. r l hompson 
of Big Run; Professor C. A. Anderson, ( ounty 
Superintendent of Schools; Professor Schmidt, 
potato specialist from State College; Professor 
Joseph Vial, specialist on horses from State 
College; and Dr. Thomas, president of State 
College.—C. I. G.

principle is at stake and that on each the. .s a 
responsibility for making that principle win 
out. This means that there must be mutual 
“give and take” and understanding between 
officers and employees, and the existence ol 
such understanding has been one of the chief 
reasons for the success of the cooperative 
movement so far.

Grange
