The Farm and the Farmer

will, at that" Mr.. Demoret reports
quite little wheat on the farms and
says that any price over a dollar u.s.
ually brings it out. They have receiv-

West Manchester Buying Corn.
The manager of the elevator at West
Manchester says that. with so much
new corn in sight farmers are disposed
to sell their old supplies at going
prices. He says that quite little corn
is moving and that his price is now
! IS cents per cwt. AS to coal the ele-
yator has a small stock of Ohio coal
| in its bins, which is being sold at $1,000
per ton. Another lot should arrive
next week. 1t is his opinion that coal
/ is too high and he hopes to Sc it much
/ cheaper later on. There is no tend
ency to sell wheat shown by farmers
in the West Manchester district; those
having little in store being mostly in
clined to hold to see what can be got
ten for it later. The stocks on the farm
are very light.
Paying 81 at Lynn.
The manager of the mill and eleva-
tor at Lynn said they had small stock
of crystal block, West Virginia coal,
which they were selling at 81 per
ton. I'VE can buy all the coal we
need" said he. "All we have to do is
to order it and pay the price. The
price is the rub, but by paying that we
can get no end of coal, right now
Lynn is looking for a few cars of coal
next week. The elevator reports corn
drying out very fast and says they un-
derstand that some farmers have left
the job of silo filling so late that the
corn is no longer in proper condition
to ensilage to good advantage. Very
, little wheat is moving at Lynn, although
the mill has been bidding 81 most al
of the week.
Looking for Cheaper Coal
Manager Goodrich of the Goodrich
elevator at Winchester, says they are
entirely out of coal, but have enough
, ordered to do awhile, and some of i
, should arrive early next week. HI
says coal is too dear, and that it is
, his opinion that it will be in gooC
, supply at lower prices within the mex
two or three weeks. Farmers are il
no mood to buy any quantity of coal a
: present prices, and are likely to Blu.
on a hand to mouth basis until salts
fled there is no coal to be had at
reasonable price" The supply of whea
, at Winchester has about dried UP
] though some corn is moving RICH
I along.
. Trying Vaccines on Poultry.
: Since the use of vaccines in humal
diseases has become so common, en'
l the vaccination of hogs has proven s.
2 successful, poultrymen have been try

prevent roup, a contagious or infeC
tious disease that affects all classes O
: fowls, has been tried out by bacteriolc
! gists and poultry disease experts, blu

Practical results in the vaccinatio

has probably done more investigator
in this field than any other man. H

" forms of roup, so that they may be di

scabs form on the comb, wattles ar
