AGRICULTURAL.
Marketing Farm Products,

One of the most important parts of
farming at the present time is the sell
ing of what is grown or produced on
the farm. When farmers are some dis
lance from a city market they must pro-
duce articles which can be easily trans
ported, and in order for them to sell
well they must be put up in good shape.
We are more and more convinced that
the creamery, rightly conducted, and
running through the winter, is the best
solution of the problem of marketing
butter in Vermont. A well-managed
creamery can sell its product at great
advantage over the ordinary butter
buyer. The latter must take all grades,
from all sources ; the former makes a
uniform product.
But when farmer cannot send his
milk to creamery, he should aim to
produce uniform article of the high
est quality. The only way to get de-
cent price for butter or any farm prod
uct is to make first-cass article, and
then deal directly with the consumer,
if possible. OF course this is not al
ways possible, but should be sought
after by every enterprising farmer.
Farmers who live near markets, where
they can drive into city and sell their
products from door to door, have a
great advantage. But farms thus stu
ated are high-priced and the taxes are
usually quite high. The middlemen
and railroads are the greatest burdens
the farmer has to carry and the most
difficult to remove.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-08-19
Leave Out the LOafers!

Suppose that Woodworking farmer
were called upon to provide for four or
five strong, able-bodied persons who
did not do enough work to pay for
their board! There would be trouble
on that farm right away, and justly 30,
for both sense and Scripture proclaim
that the man who will not work shall
not eat. Yet many farmer who
would quickly turn oafers away from
his own table, will tolerate worse loaf
ers out in his barn. 1t ia safe to say
that, in most dairy herds, there are
four or five cows that do not pay for
the food they consume-to say nothing
of the space they occupy, and the labor
expended in caring for them. The
reason they stay, year after year, thus
eating up the farm profits, is that the
farmer is deceived because he has no
means of knowing which of his cows
are robbers. 1t is easy to pick out the
human loafer because his individual
acts stand by themselves; but where the
work of the COWS is Jumped together,
the individual fraud escapes. Babcock
and Scales are the two detectives
needed to pick out the robber cows.
Leave out the loafers!-Rural New
Yorker.

From Producer to Consumer.

1t would do Vermont farmers good
to visit New York and some of the
towns around it and see how farm
products are marketed 1t is a sight
worth seeing to visit the markets and
see the immense amount of farm and
garden produce which is daily disposed
of in that great city. The low price of
farm products is fact which is often
commented on by city residents. Good
butter can be bought in New York and
Philadelphia for twenty cents. Po-
tatoes are only seventy-fve cents, and
all other products in proportion. This
means extremely low prices for the
producer. The railroads must have
their profits, the middlemen must have
theirs, and when all these have salts
fed themselves there is absolutely no
profit at all left for the farmer, unless
he conducts his work on the latest and
most intelligent principles. For there
are men who do make money at farm
ing even in this day of low prices.
Suppose man gets fourteen cents for
his butter. If he can make it for ten
cents, he is making money. If he can
grow potatoes for twenty cents and sell
them for twenty -fve cents he is making
money. And if he can manage to get
this product into the consumers
hands so as to secure for himself a
part or the whole of the middlemen's
profits, he will make still more money.
Suppose ten farmers send butter to
city market. Nine of them 90 on in
the old ways, One adopts the most
modern methods, and makes fine or
extra fine article, which he ships
weekly or so to private consumers.
This requires care, business methods,
wisdom and patience, but the mans
cash income will be a third or a half
more, or even double that of his less
enterprising neighbors. If he can get
the twenty cents or more per pound,
less railroad changes, he will feel much
better satisfied than the man who gets
only ten to twelve cents. For it is
hardly possible for any farmer to make
living by selling butter at suchlfig-
ures

Agricultural Chemistry,

Chemistry as the handmaiden of agrl-
culture has achieved a wonderful sue
cess. Fertilizing the fields has not only
become a we'll understood business, but
is an exact science. There are methods
Of recovering waste products and utiliz-
ing heretofore useless matter. 1t is
known what is required to produce the
best potatoes and other crops, each one
having supplied to it the chemical ne
cessities Of its existence Land, sea and
the elements are taxed to furnish the
constituents necessary to the best growth
Of vegetation. 1t would have been "a
surprise to our ancestors had they been
told that there are common plants which
derive very small portion of their sub
sistence from the soil, but are fed from
the air and water; therefore, to under
stand the theories of drainage, rainfall,
evaporation and absorption are matters
of the utmost moment. To nothing does
agriculture owe such q debt as to sci
ence, for by its means the waste places
of the earth can be made productive, and
by the introduction of new chemical ele-
ments malarial and unwholesome soils
are made fertile and transformed into
healthy and agreeable dwelling places

Farmers Need knowledge.

This need becomes more and more
apparent. We lately met striking ex-
ample of this. A farm of 1870 acres,
seventy in grass, keeps only the equiv
alent of about twelve cows, yet this
farm is located in one of the best farm re-
gions in the East. What is the trouble?
Ignorance, just that and nothing more.
The owner is a manufacturer who
knows nothing of farming. The men
he gets to carry on his farm only know
how to work. There is no one to di-
rect their work intelligently, and this is
the case with thousands of farmers.
No matter how hard man works, if
he is not guided by intelligence, by
true wisdom, his hard work comes to
naught. 1t is said farmers need cap
ital. True they do, but much more do
they need knowledge. Money is of
little use on a farm unless one knows
how to use it. Labor and capital on
farm must be directed by knowledge,
or they will come to naught. Knowl-
edge comes of observation, by reading,
by thought and study. Agricultural
papers are necessity to every farmer.
Once in great while a man will pick
up knowledge without reading, but his
range will be very narrow, and he will
lose much. No man can at present
succeed in farming without knowledge.
