The Mountaineer quotes the Braxton
market, Wheat 81, 80 corn Scots; potatoes
81 90; eggs Sets; butter l5cts; old hens
17cts: old rooster 15cts; why the dis
elimination in price shold be against an
old rooster We don't understand.
Prof. Voelcker modfes this view By
remarking: "rhe effects produced by the
application of bone dust to pastures are
very variable. On the porus land of
Cheshire and similar soils on the red
sandstone formation, the result is very
striking. On land which is wet and
cold and rests on poor, undrained sub
soil, bones often produce no effect" He
recommends, in all cases, a trial on
small scale.

a dozen OF each. For peaches, consult
your nearest nurseryman. For apples

YOUR vicinity. The Prairie Farmer, ad-
dressing correspondent in cold region,
SAYS: The best thing you can get is local
experience. 1t will pay you to ride
TWENTY-FIVE miles to see an Intelligent

your soil and climate ten years"
