Where the summer and early fall milk prices have been settled, it has been on the basis of an ascending scale for July, August and September—the September price being the highest ever paid for September milk. It is reasonably certain that this rise toward higher milk prices will be the rule in all the principal milk markets. Figure out your profit over the cost of your grain feed,.on this basis. If you buy your July, August and September requirements now, your BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN FEED will cost you no more than that which you used to make your June milk ; and you are thereby assured, as far as BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN FEED is concerned, that the en tire rise in the milk price will be additional profit.

GOOD farm help is scarce. Conserve it by making the most of what man-power you have. A Case Kerosene Tractor and the properly related size of Grand Detour Plow makes farm help more efficient—-more productive,—and less costly in proportion to the results accomplished. Just consider the advantages of having one of these out fits on your own farm. Don't forget the importance of being able to do your plowing rapidly when the soil is in the most favorable condition. Then consult the nearest Case dealer. Remember, Case Kerosene Tractors and Grand Detour Plows are both built by the J. I.
