Ooo
THE man or woman who shows
taste In preparing vegetables,
fruit, butter and poultry for
market is tbe one who gets
fancy prices and big profits. It is part
ly reputation and partly the appear
ance of commodities thai enable one
to sell at high prices. '"
"Here is an Illustration: It costs 10
cents to feed a broiler up to the age
of two inon ilis, and S cents more rep
resents the expense of care and mar
keting. Tills is where tbe business is
on a large scale. If the producer re
ceives 23 cents for the bird be is bare
ly getting cost and wages, but at 85 to
40 ceuts there is a liberal profit. The
extra 10 or 20 cents is the thing to
work for. and it Is gained by supply
ing goods in nice order. These broil
ers may be fattened on sweet milk,
shorts, cornmeal and boiled potatoes.
This or similar food will give a whole
some, sweet, juicy flesh, which epicures
will be willing to pay well for.
. To appeal to the best trade produce
of alt kinds must be clean and fresb.
There should be taste and care In ar
ranging packages. It Is possible to
hare an individualityabout these mat
ters which will hold customers after
they have been found. ' An attractive
article of merchandise virtually sells
itself. This is particularly true, of
nice country produce.
It must be borne in mind that, while
prevailing prices on commodities bear
heavily on the poor, there are thou
sands In every large city w,ho are will
ing and able to pay double the regular
retail rates if they can obtain really
choice produce direct from the farm.
The selling end of the farmer's busi
ness Is of ever Increasing importance.
It is a feature of agricultural activity
which urgently demands attention.
There are thousands of skillful farm
ers who are poor salesmen and permit

"THERE ALL THE HONOR
LIES."
There is as much honor In be
ing nble to lay off a straight
row, use the lioe dexterously
and operate the' mower or the
binder correctly as to be a me
chanic, a carpenter.- n lawyer, n
doctor or tt merchant. U is not
the kind of work one does, but
the manner In which the work is
done, that makes character.

. WORK OF SHEEP SHARPS.
They Fool You Sometimes by the Way
. the Animal Is Trimmed. f
-Preparing sheep for the show ring
Is the work of an expert. ' Tbe skillful
shepherd can hide the defects of his
sheep so that they are not apparent to
the eye, and only tbe experienced judge
can discover them. Sheep cannot be
Judged without feeling of them. The
Judge must use his hands far more
than his eyes. The novice is often de
ceived by the way the sheep is trim
med. Often the sheep appenrs to be
fat when it is thin.
After tbe sheep have been trimmed
they usually are blanketed. The
blankets keep them clean and prevent
them from rubbing their wool, which

would undo all the work of the shep
herd. They also prevent the pulling
of the wool by thoughtless persons.
Persons who are Ignorant of tbe effect
upon tbe sbeep and also on the tem
per of tbe shepherd delight to bur;
tbelr fingers In tbe soft wool and then
pull It Wherever they poke their
finger Into the wool a hole is lert
which is very bard to fill up. The
wool it pulled out and gives the fleece
a ragged appearance. Tbe worst
thing, however, Is the large bruised
spot which is made where tbe wool Is
pulled. Kansas Industrialist .

the difference between failure and suc
cess. . With the development in cities
of a Bteady cashxlemand at uii. prices
for all kinds of produce and a general
Improvement - int transportation facili
ties, there Is mo good reason why tbe
farmer should. not reaBze greater re
turns on the- (commodities which he
has to dispose o$. .
A New Tork X stnessman who was
forced to a New Jersey suburb on ac
count of broken .health is making a
good living by irepncklng vegetables
and fruit which Up brrs from fanners
and truckers, reptivkluy them and sell
ing direct to the cV1'- He has a
large list of reguInieustoers among
the residents of the' numerous small
towns of bis vicinity,'; who buy all their
fruit and vegetables from him because
they can depend upon getting them
fresh, clean and sound.
A' recent visit to the great produce
market of South Wale- street, Chicago,
disclosed tbe fact ttait hundreds of
shippers send ttielr aptple crop niaich
of It fine fruit of goad color and free
from rot to the commission men
dumped into barrels ntgardlfess of size
or condition, mixed Vilfitb dSrt. leaves
and twigs, all tending to lover the val
ue of the fruit, a condition which the
commission men are quick to take ad
vantage of. The merchi hits greatly In
crease their own profits v by repacking
the apples. . ;- - '' . . .
Any farmer or gardener who Is lo
cated within reasonable distance of a
good market will make .more money
by selling to retail dealers or consum
ers than by shipping his stuff to the
commission men in the- large cities. By
careful attention he can in a short
time establish a reputation for his prod
uce which wll bring imore-customers,
than he can serve.

Gate That Let Both High Water and
Low Pass Easily Beneath It,
A swinging water gate may be made
in the following manner: Take a log
about four inches In diameter. Drop
it Into the forks, of two posts, one set
on either bank of the stream. The

posts should be set three or four feet
into the ground, and tbe log should be
long enough for tbe ends to extend a
foot pr so beyond the forks of the posts.
Suspend to this pole a gate made thus:
Saw six Inch board, the desired length
and nail three or four crosspieces to
them, clinching tbe nails so the gate
will be strong. Bore boles In tbe top
ends of these upright pieces for Insert
ing tbe suspension wires...
These wires should run over the pole
and be Just right to keep tbe gate from
striking tbe bed of tbe stream. If this
gate swings clear It will let the water
pass underneath it when tbe stream
is swollen by tbe fresbet and drop back
to its natural position when tbe stream
runs down. Iowa Homestead.
Farming With Brains.
When one bears of a treat yield of
corn or small grain it la a safe guess
tbat a good alfalfa or clover sod exist
ed on the field not many years before.
Tbe planting of good seed is the foun
dation of success in farming, and many
there be who fall .to build upon tbat
foundation. For all such the outlook Is
discouraging.
Tbe compost beap la the farmer's
saving bank. There, little by little, be
saves wealth tbat otherwise would go
to waste,' but, gathered together and
properly need, will make the soil richer
every year.
Diversified' farming carries an idea
of intensified farming that to, getting
the most profits from an acre of land.
When crops are diversified the land Is
occupied longer and consequently yields
more than when one crop is grown and
tbe land lies fallow large portion of
the time.
Constantly yon will hear men saying
In public addresses and agricultural
papers that It It impossible for tbe or
dlnary farmer to produce beef profits
bly, while Just as constantly the farm
era In the corn belt are throwing away
the corn plant, which. If preserved In
the alio. It the finest meat making food
la the world. Hoard's Dairyman.

PRESIDENTS AND STATES.
Virginia, Ohio and New York About
. Equal In Honors.
In only one resiwct can Virginia still
be properly called the Mother of Presi
dents only as to tbe Dumber of years
Virginians occupied the executive of
fice, not as to the number of residents
of Virginia elected to tbe presidency
or succeeding to the presidency.
Since tbe beginnlug of tbe govern
ment presidents have beeu taken from
only ten states Virginia. Massachu
setts, Tennessee, New York. Ohio, Lou
isiana. New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Indiana,
There have been five from Virginia
Washington', .lellersou. Madison. Mon
roe and Tyler.
There have been five from New York
Vnm Bnren. Fillmore, Arthur, Cleve
land, and Roosevelt.
. There have been five from Ohio
William llenfy Harrison. Hayes. Gnr
fle'A, SIc-Klnley and Tart.
There have -been three rrora Tennes
see Jackson, Polk and .luhuxnii; two
fifom M;ifN!H"linsettx-.1ohii Adtiuis and
John Qiiiucy Adams: two from Illinois
-Lincoln and (Irant: one from New
Hampshire Pierce; one from Louisi
anaTaylor; one from Pennsylvania
Buchanan; one from Indiana Benja
min Harrison.
New York is the mother of vice pres
idents, having had ten out of the twenty-seven
Aaron Burr, (ienrge Clinton.
Daniel D. Tompkins. Martin Van Bn
ren. Millard Fillmore. William A.
Wheeler. Chester A. Arthur, Levi P.
Morton, Theodore Roosevelt and .lames
S. Sherman.
Of these ten four succeeded to the
presidency by reason of death of In
cumbent. The four were Van Buren,
Fillmore. Arthur and Roosevelt.
It was a remarkable fnet that at tbe
end of President Roosevelt's term.
March 4, 1909. New York had lmd the
presidency about nineteen years out of
the twenty-eight since the inaugura
tion of President arneld in 1881-tbe
i period covered by the White House
service of ' Arthur. Cleveland and
Roosevelt.
Still more remarkable Is tbe fact that
at the end ot President 'faffs present
ter.m, March 4. 1913. New York and
Ohio will have had the presidency tbir-ty-two
out of the thirty-six yenrs since
the inauguration of Hayes.
Probably most remarkable of all Is
the fact that Virginia. New York and
Ohio have held the presidency seventy
three years of the 124 since the begin
ning of the government! Buffalo Courier.
THE DECLINE OF FRANCE.
Poor Agricultural Results
New
Source of Wor'y.
: The steady decline of population has
long been a subject ot serious concern
to French statesmen. Bnt nnother and
more alarming discovery has been
made. The French peasant is losing
his reputation as a wealth producer.
The vast accumulation of reserve capi
tal in Franee'and the general prosperK
ty or the country are due in no small
degree to the existence of an indus
trious and thrifty peasantry.
The peasant Is the backbone of the
republic-, and yet nil is not well with
agriculture in France." The subject
has been thoroughly ventilated in the
Paris press. It will surprise most peo
ple to know that .the net returns to
the French farmer are lower than
those or must countries In Europe.
Denmark, only a fourth the size, ex
ports four times more agricultural pro
duce than France. Germany and Bel
glum, although mainly industrial ennn
tries, hnve u relatively arealer agri
cultural export than France, which Is
primarily nn agricultural nation.
Tbe. return per acre to land under
crops in France is lower than in Den
mark, Belgium, England or Germany
in the order of production. France
shows increasing imports of eggs and
butter, although twelve yenrs ago
France exported more eggs than Den
mark. Argonaut
Van Biens't Romantto Vow.
The age of romantic vows and their
fulfillment is not altogether past. On
every Nov. 18 for two'score years or
more Sir. Van Blene. the lamous acior
imislcian, who has appeared in a pop
ular i.We entitled "The Broken Melo
dy" some 5,000 times, has played bin
cello in the streets or wraaou ana giv
en his earnings to charity, because on
that day long ago Sir Michael Costa
"discovered" him and rescued him
from the poverty and privation of a
street musician's life. Mr. Van Piene
in bis gratitude vowed to go back to
the old life and play for others on
every anniversary of his rescue and
has faithfully adhered to bis oath.
