Where the weeder is used the work

Cutting Middlemen's Toll.

The best methods of marketing gar
den truck and other perishsble produce
is just now the subject Of much discus
sion between advocates OF various
plans. One set Of farmers believe in
the producer building up retail family
trade direct with consumers in cities
and towns, Others oppose this, claim
ing conditions have 80 changed within
the last generation this cannot be done,
Both are right in measure. Yet the
general principle holds true that there
is a field for "getting together" and
cutting cut some Of the excessive mid.
dlemen's tolls. There is too wide q
difference between what the producer
actually nets and consumer pays for
berries or fresh vegetables, poultry,
etc.
No general rule can be applied to the
situation. Each farmer must study
conditions so far as his own business ia
concerned. In many instances he can
work up profitable trade in selling
direct from farm to town resident. AL

Who Shall Mix Fertile

A man has a pain in his knee and
finds that by rubbing certain lini-
ment on it the pain is relieved. The
next week he has a headache, and, re-
membering his knee, he rubs the same
liniment on his head. The pain gets
worse instead of better, and the man
denounces the liniment as fraud, He
does not realize that the trouble in his
head may come from his stomach. The
liniment helped his knee, but failed to
help his head; therefore il is fraud.
You see, this man fails to recognize that
there were two kinds of aches, each re-
quiring different treatment. He is
like the man who uses phosphate"
or some one sided fertilizer, and OBJ
tains good results on certain crop.
He tries it on another crop or soil and
fails; therefore, all fertilizers are
frauds.
A friend once used Two hundred
pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda on
wheat in the spring and increased his
yield quite little. The next year he
decided to use only nitrate on his pc
tatoes, which were planted on a soil
quite deficient in potash. He got a
large growth of vines, but few pota-
toes He said that nitrate of soda, and
incidentally, all fertilizers, were "no
good" A fair amount of potash used
with the nitrate would have doubled his
yield, but he would not go down to the
true causes of his failure. Such men
make a.mistake in attempting to mix
their own fertilizers or to use special
substances. They will do much better
to buy the mixed goods, and always Sc
lect complete mixtures. Generally
speaking, it will pay farmer to hire
experts to mix or plan for him, unless
he is willing to think and study down

Champion Swimming Dog.

To be in the water all the time is the
delight of Bruno, the smooth-coated
collie owned by a Boston man. As
swimmer he has not met his equal in
the canine family. He was born in
Waltham in 1893 and weighs about
fifty pounds.
He has already competed in eleven
races against spaniels. collies, New.
foundlands, settlers and bulldogs and
has never been defeated.
Not only is Bruno fast and long dis
lance swimmer, says the Boston Globe,
but he enjoys jumping into the water
from places twenty-five or thirty feet
high.
A number of times each day he
leaves his owners house unattended
and goes to the West Boston bridge,
from where he jumps into the water.
After swimming around awhile he will
go to one of the boathouse floats. climb
out Of the water and return home.

history of literature that tells you their
best works and makes a few discon-
nected extracts and tells you their
of them.
