that it sells for so cents bottle and

THAT WONDERFUL CHURN F..

want to add my testimony to the
list of those that have used the Light
ming Churn. 1t does all that is claim
ed for it you can churn easily in one
minute and get large percentage more
butter than with the common churns.
1 never took the agency for anything
before, but so many of my nelghbors
wanted churns that l ordered 80 and
they are all gone. I think i'll year
every farmer will have a Lightning
Churn, in fact they can't afford to be
without one as they make so much
more butter and good little bit OF
money can be made in every township
selling these churns. By writing to ).

Trolleys and the Hay Trade.

Philadelphia Record.
The advent OF the trolley and Its dis
placement of horses has affected many
lines of industry in one way or another,
and one business which has gone into
marked decline because of the electrl-
cal innovation Is that of large class OF
farmers who depend on Philadelphia as
a market for their hay. Eight FOR ten
thousand horses, which formerly be-
longed to the old car lines and were an
important factor in the consumption of
hay, have disappeared, and nothing
takes their place in this particular.
The popularity of the trolleys for pleas
ure travel also has cut into the business
of the liveries, and here, too, with small
Ter stables, the demand for the farmers
principal product Is lessened. A con-
sentative estimate places the amount
OF hay now received in this city at on
ly tw0-thirds OF what was brought in a
few years ago, the great falling off be-
ing due entirely to the shrunken mar
ket and consequent lower prices. Alto
gether the quotations on hay have
dropped about Is per cent. since the
trolleys were put in operation.
