than it did laat spring, while ana showed an advance of to a dosen. Thia advance ht prlee was attributed br Mrs. Dunning to tha late season, the pastures were poor, owing to tha cold, backward spring; and tne oowa aa a result wars not doing as well aa they end last spring when the paetnrea were much batter at this Mate of year than they were now. Also Affects Hens. The fold spring had also kept the hens from laying aa freely as wiey would have done had tbe weather keea war mar.

The reault waa that ease were scarcer and brought higher prices than laat year, retailing at ISO a doaen Instead of tie a dosen ss they did laat spring. Mrs. Dunning said butter "was eosntrur down slowly In pries, but she expected that It would remain a cent or two higher a pound than tha flrure at which It sold laat Mrs. Dunning aald that another meson for butter being so high waa that many farmers had practically no hay to feed uietr uowe, one saiu mat aunng the i winter several cows starred to death, one farmer toeing through starvation The backward spring and tha quent poor pasturing haa also resulted in hay and oats bringing higher price than a year ago. Hay waa selling at 91 to It a ton mora, while oats showed aa advenes of several cents a bushel.
