Sharp Advance in Eggs and

advances in the past few weeks. Re-
tail dealers on the local market are re.
ceiving 35 cents a dozen for eggs and
the best country butter meeting with
ready sale at so cents pound. while
the creamery product is being retailed
at the high price of 40 cents.
There is likely to be further ad
vance in either of the commodities as
local dealers state they are both scarce
and at this season the demand is great.
The consumer may not be surprised at
any time to be compelled to dig down
in his pocket and meet another ad-
vance in eggs and butter. Prevailing
prices in the larger cities are consider
ably higher than here and it is predic-
ted the consumers will be compelled to
pay 81 per dozen for eggs before the
winter is over. Eggs have sold on the
Cincinnati market as high as 43 cents.
The price of turkeys will be as high
as last year and possibly higher. The
price is being regulated by the supply
this year which will be short. The
crop of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky is
fairly good but reports from other Sec
tlONS OI the country are tU Tue elGCt
that there is practically no crop at all.

and there NAV be another advance

Local dealers are preparing fowls
for the Eastern market and the cool

1t is a case of ejectment brought

failure to keep up fences, shock the
corn, etc. The damages claimed
amount to 5000.

Wreck All Cleared Away.

Sunday afternoon the last Of the
wreck on the Lake Erie & Western
road at Muckshaw was cleared
away. The parts that could not be
saved were burned, the iron picked
up and loaded on cars, and the
wrecked engines were taken to the
shops at Peru where they will be
gone over, and what is good about
them will be saved and the rest 90
to the scrap pile. 1t is a work of
days and days to make and assemble
all the various parts of a railroad
locomotive, but a second of time is
all that is needed to make them into
waste iron, when they come together
as was the case Friday evening.
The powerful wrecking cars with
the devices for lifting, take up the
broken engines and cars, and soon
the track is ready to be lined up
again, and new trains pass over as if
nothing had happened. 1t is a part
of the business of railroading to
care for the breakage that is con-
stantly occurring along the roads.

Another Good Record.

Some time ago we published an
article showing the success and re-
suits of one of our best farmers in
the production of milk. Since the
writing of this article several others
nave come to our notice and as these
may be of interest to many of our
readers we are giving figures of an
other herd, owned by F. Jensen,
Donaldson, Ind.
This herd consisted of six cows,
five of which were MIXED from Jan.
l, 1911. All six were MIXED the
balance of the year.
In this case the milk was skinned
with a hand separator and the
cream sold. The. total weight of
cream sold was 6141 pounds contain
ling 1894 pounds of butterfat. The
test of this cream indicated that
1892 pounds of milk were produced
to make this cream. The average
production for the five cows for one
year We find is GAL pounds of milk
containing 293.5 butterfat. The
value of butterfat from these five
cows was $386.25 an average Of
$7.25 per COW. Each COW has
1897 pounds skim milk to her credit
which "a zoe per cwt. give $10.77
more. The total income per COW
for the year amounts to $780,.
The cream was sold to a local
receiving station at Donaldson ca
Elgin prices for butterfat during the
past year. No effort was made to
make record or high production,
in fact, the owner of the herd did
not know anyone was recording the
figures and was himself surprised
at the result. He thought his cows
were OF profitable but thought dif-
ferently when the years total IVES
shown to him. tt shows that figures
are often necessary to prove facts
and will show profits where we do
not expect them.
