Use Columbia Ignitors 
for Radio 
Fanners know the Columbia Ignitor dry cell 
thoroughly. They’ve used it for ignition for 
over 30 years. The same superior quality 
that produces this satisfaction in the ignition 
field admirably adapts the Columbia Ignitor 
for use on all Radio dry cell tubes.

10 % More Milk Will Double 
The Profit from Your Cows 
t 
You do not expect bumper crops from your 
fields without fertilizing and extensive cul¬ 
tivation. Why, then, expect a maximum milk 
yield from your cows unless you keep their 
milk-making organs in top-notch health? 
The hard-worked milk-producing functions of 
the cow need frequent aid to keep up a full 
flow and retain the stamina to resist disease. 
Kow-Kare has such positive action on the 
digestive and genital organs that its benefit 
is soon shown in the milk yield. Thousands 
of successful dairymen are now using it 
regularly about one week in each month for 
every cow. Especially during the winter 
months it aids in keeping up a full yield 
from dry rough feeds. 
Dairy authorities say that the average 
dairy can double the net profit if measures 
can be found to increase the milk 10 %. Kow- 
Kare is a regular £>art of the feeding course 
in thousands of dairies where surprising in¬ 
creases in milk yield are being accomplished. 
Kow-Kare, of course, is primarily a cow 
medicine. It increases milk flow only because 
it builds up the same set of organs that must 
be reached when cow diseases are being treat¬ 
ed. Such troubles as Barrenness, Abortion, 
Retained Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk 
Fever, Lost Appetite can be successfully 
eliminated by Kow-Kare because it restores 
health to the genital and digestive organs. 
There is a definite profit advantage for 
every user of Kow-Kare. Cow health and 
big milk yields are inseparable. Our free 
book, “The Home Cow Doctor,” is yours for 
the asking. It tells the various uses of Kow- 
Kare, with which every cow owner should be 
familiar. 
Feed dealers, general 
stores and druggists

and 65c sizes. If deal¬

Among New York Farmers 
T HE directors and representatives of the 
local associations affiliated with the 
Western New York Fruit Growers’ Coopera¬ 
tive Packing Association, Inc., met on Novem¬ 
ber 28 in Rochester to discuss plans for the 
future. These plans mainly had to do with 
expansion and contracts. The contract now 
in force is good for one year and the proposi¬ 
tion is to extend it to a five-year contract. 
The greater part of the morning session was 
taken up by Walter Peteet, head of the Division 
of Cooperative Marketing of the American 
Farm Bureau Federation. Mr. Peteet has had 
considerable experience with farmers’ co¬ 
operatives in all parts of the country. During 
his talk he presented to the fruit growers the 
plans for an ideal cooperative packing associa¬ 
tion which is based on the experience of many 
of the successful communities now in operation. 
The afternoon session was confined to a 
very thorough discussion by representatives 
from local associations. At the close of the 
meeting it was unanimously approved that an 
energetic campaign for an increased volume 
of business and a long term contract be under¬ 
taken. It was arranged that a committee 
draw up plans for such a campaign, to be sub¬ 
mitted at a later meeting. 
Checks, representing substantial payments 
on apples packed this year, were distributed 
at the close of the meeting.—N. R. P. 
NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
Ontario Co.—November was very cloudy 
and a dull month. We had only about three 
days of sunshine. In spite of the cloudy 
weather, we had very little rain, however, not 
enough to make plowing easy. Strange to 
say October was unusually warm. We had 
especially good weather for all fall work. 
Apples that were sold on an early market 
brought good prices and were well taken care 
of. Cabbage made a larger crop than was 
expected at first. A large quantity of it was 
put into kraut. Corn is now being shredded. 
A great deal of fall plowing is being done. 
Some farmers are threshing beans, reporting 
yields below normal due to the dry weather. 
Red Kidneys are now selling at $6.25 a hundred. 
Warren Co.—The snow that came on 
November 24 is all gone. December 1st finds 
us with the ground not frozen. Roads are in 
good shape and have been all fall. Many 
farmers still are leaving their stock out of doors 
during the day. Stock in general is reported 
in fine condition for winter. Prices of live¬ 
stock are generally low, much below other 
years. Hay and grain is high. Light horses 
find very little sale. Heavy work teams are in 
fair demand. Potatoes were selling for $2 a 
bushel. They have dropped since to $1 and 
there are no buyers at that. Butter is 50c a lb., 
eggs 60c and very scarce. Recent rains have 
filled up many wells that had gone dry during 
the past season. Prospects are for a very 
quiet and dull winter.—R. T. A. 
St. Lawrence Co.—With the open fall there 
has been more fall plowing done than in 10 
years. Prices of turkeys are much lower than 
last year. Quotations at Medina vary from 
45 to 55c. We had a slight fall of snow on the 
24th of last month, but it has all disappeared. 
Farmers are turning their cattle out every 
day. The milk flow is holding up well. Many 
farmers are cutting up wood for winter.— 
H. S. II. 
IN CENTRAL NEW YORK 
Chenango Co.—It is seldom that so much 
fall plowing has been done as was accomplished 
this year. The way the soil turns up indicates 
that we need a good deal of rain. We have had 
practically no snow here as yet, which is 
extremely uncommon. 
Sod plowing in the fall is not quite so 
common as it used to be. This is partly be¬ 
cause pressure of work keeps them back, but 
it is also partly because many prefer to spread 
manure before plowing and plow under. 
Occasionally a man is becoming interested 
in the use of acid phosphate with manure. 
I do not mean by that that its use is becoming 
general or that it is likely to be. That will 
depend on results which are not yet determined. 
There is some interest in it and for oats and 
seeding the use is quite common. A few are 
using it on cabbage. One man said to me 
yesterday that he never used it until last year 
and then he tried it on a half acre of cabbage 
using 250 pounds. He harvested thirteen 
tons of cabbage this fall which is the best he 
ever raised. He will try again with manure 
and acid phosphate. 
Farmers are not satisfied with the milk 
situation but I believe that they are coming 
to understand that the fluid price of $2.80 is 
better for them than the $3.45 price would 
have been. It is impossible to get a high-fluid 
price for our milk so long as the dealers can 
maintain a split in the ranks by the aid of 
farmers themselves. We may as well admit it 
and take the consequences.—H. H. Lyon.
