1t would be common sense for all
the potato growers within reach of
the same shipping station to plant
some one approved sort. A car load,
or half dozen car loads all of one
kind, can be sold half dozen times
over before linked lot" will be
even looked at.

Horsemen should remember that
not five pet cent. Of the horses bred
for racers ever make real race horses.

looks. Breed for roadsters.

There are two mistakes that farm
ers have need to guard against now
Do not sell off all the good hogs be-
cause they bring high price this
winter. and do not rush to the other
extreme and breed lot OF poor COWS
that are not fitted for breeders.
Probably pork will not sell Al so high
price next year, but there will be a
better chance for growing it prof.
tably il good sOws are selected,
and thoroughbred boars are mattel
with them. The profit arises from
having pigs that will make the mos,
pork at the least cost, aud good Iced
ing wiltdo the rest.
