Stand BV Home.

1t is wrong impression which
prevails with some farmers that they
do bstter and get better prices for
their poultry by selling to some
travelling outfit which is here to-day
and gone tomorrow. You cannot do
it, kind friend, and when you trade
with these travelling fellows, who go
from place to place in a car. in Mis-
souri, to day and Kansas tomorrow,
you can bet you life you pay the
freight and not only that but hotel
bills in addition. Moreover, you have
no means Of seeing your poultry
weighed or knowledge of the cor
rectness Of their scales, or the mar
ket price Of your poultry. There is
only enc safe plan and that is to sell
your poultry TO home dealers. like
Carpenter & Shafer, of Butler, who
have an established business of wears
standing; who have invested several
thousand dollars IN buildings, and
who deal square and honest with
you. give yoa correct weights ana
the highest price the markets afford.
Stand by your home poultry dealers
who furnish you a market the year
round ana help bear the burdens of
taxation. Carpenter & Shafer will
nay sc pound for hens Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
