THERE is no class of men at the pres
ent time that pays more attention to
the intelligent study of details than the
successful farmers. It is not enough that
they know one thing; they must know all
about the production, care, cost, food and
market value of each crop, and the cost
of TRANSPORTATION. This latter item does
not mean the cost OF railroad transporta-
ton. for while that effects the price paid
for the product, that rate is looked after
bv the purchaser, the cost of transporta-
ton that the farmer must consider Is the
cost of getting the product to market.
Sometimes the market price is good but
the roads over which the produce must
be hauled are so bad that it is worth all
the stuff will bring to get 1t TO market
OF so much importance Is this matter to
the farmer that the subject is given prom
inent place on all Farmers Institute
programs now, and the speakers engaged
to discuss it are men Of state and national
reputation on the subject of road making.
These Institutes are largely attended and
20 these is due i'll a measure, the improved
condition of the farming and dairying
communities.

were several active candidates and one,
more active than the others, perhaps,
was the victor in The contest But to the
lattcr's great surprise and disappointment
he found, when his formal application
and the result of theprimary election had
been forwarded to Washington, that the
president had decided to give the post
o flee to q man who had not figured at

moral in the incident it may be that pri-
mary elections have their uses, but they
don t always select the best postmaster.
