FARM PRODUCE PRICES.
Mistakes Made by Farmers in Selling and
in the Selection of Crops.

Farm prices are largely regulated by
the kind of produce that reaches the
markets, says the Philadelphia Record.
The farmer who makes a speciality of
growing articles of extra quality, and
who ships at the proper time, will
realize more on one acre than another
farmer who depends upon bulk or
quantity will upon TWO acres. There
is never time or "a season when the.
markets are not overstocked, that is,
with inferior produce. but buyers
search for something better and select
the best, the consequence being that
in what may be regarded as an over
stocked market there is never too
much of that which is choice. Straw
berries have sold at % cents per quart
when prices were far below the cost of
production of inferior kinds, and when
there was demand for all that the
market could supply, yet hundreds of
growers could not realize a profit for
the reason that they could not COM
pete with those who had the best to
offer. Even with low prices for live
stock the remedy is TO use the pure
breeds and thus improve the quality.
Capital does not monopolize superior
stock. Any farmer can, by the use of
pure-bred sires, gradually increase the
value of his f1ocks and herds if he is
willing to be patient and use skill in
selection of the sires and dams. In all
cases where some new variety of fruit,
grain or vegetable has been introduced
the originators, or those who first be-
gan with it, have derived profit, for
the reason that the public is always
looking for something better and will
pay an extra price for quality.
Farmers and fruit growers can not
Judge of a conditioner amarket in the
future or of prices during preceding
season by comparison with the present
year. A large number of farmers will
discard crop altogether the next sea-
son if prices are low at present, which
is just the opposite practice to the
course that should be pursued, for the
reason that when one farmer drops
out others are entertaining the same
views, the result being that the arti-
Gle will be scarce the next year and
prices high. Tits was the case few
years ago, when potatoes were very
low in price. Hundreds Of farmers
became disguised and omitted pota-
tees from their list OF crops the next

Hot Climates Are Prepared for II.

Summer n Poctica1 Season-People of
Hot Climates Are Prepared for II.
Almost all the poetry of our litera-
ture centers about the scenes of sum-
mer and the summers heat. We pic
ture life in cool courts, with splashing
fountains and abundant fruit and
flowers, the life OF hot countries where
the sun casts his burning arrows out
side, as the top of things to be desir
ed; and we are really never happier
than we are in that outdoor weather,
and our own parallel at seaside or in
the country, since the life being the
outdoor one, we can make ourselves
comfortable in shade and breeze, and
lie back as sure of welfare as the rose
itself. But in town all that is other
wise; and. when the hot weather in
all it's fervor is upon US there, we can
find no poetry in it,
We are somewhat fortified in our
state of feeling by remembering that
Shakespeare loved the hot weather no
better than we do. For he spoke of II
as fantastic summers heat" and with
more hostility as summers scalding
heat" terms which make us feel that
nettle-rash and nervous irritability
were features of his dog-days as OF
ours. This day." he says, grows
wondrous hot; some airy devil hovers
in the sky" But Shakespeare alone
could combine the poetry and the prose
of IL. For our part, we grumbled about
the cold when the chill winds blew.

tiers to call to her assistance. You

Matter cook. See, Mees John?'
Poor, little Mrs. John saw-and all
through the harvest from cutting to
"threshing cooked for the harvesters
with only the help of a 10-year-old boy.
Cooking for harvesters means hard
work and long hours. There is no cor
ner grocery to run to for a can of this
or a box of that The vegetables must
be dug, picked or pulled, prepared and
cooked Bread, cakes and pies must
be baked and plenty of them, for there
is no bakery at hand that may be call
ed upon in case of a shortness in the
pantry. Breakfast must be had before
daylight then a light lunch sent out
TO the field at ten o'clock-a heavy din
ner at noon-lunch or some cooling
drink sent to the field again about
three o'clock, and a heavy supper pre-
pared between six o'clock and seven.
Then, often in case of a coming storm,
or IL IL has been too hot to work for
several hours in the afternoon, and the
harvesters work until nine, there is an
extra smack" to set up; then. the
mountains of dishes are to be washed
and the dozens of little things done
toward the early breakfast before the
weary head can seek its pillow.
Is il possible for one woman to get
through with so much hard work?
Yes. and the women of Kansas, who
have faced the harvest cooking alone
for years until the mortgage was
raised" are countless. Perhaps they
are old and worn before their time.
perhaps they are broken in strength
and health, but they have helped TO
make the state a good place for their
children to live in, to stick to and to
die in.
The struggle is over now. and the
Kansas farmer. as a rule. can afford
to keep help for his wife, but the only
thing that troubles him now is where
to find this help Not many years ago

farmers. who had more girls than dol
lars. were very glad to have them
