The editor of Rural New BOrker said
~ had letter from a man not long ago.
who said that his neighbor had bought a
horse for $50 trained him carefully for sew

making $500 out OF the deal.
He took the horse as a raw "green' nimal
and when he got through with him the horse
could do almost everything but talk. Now
this man thought that was very profitable
/ business
he wanted to buy book that would tell
him Just how to do that horse training. Thus
he thought he could buy green horses and
make his fortune by educating them. OF
course we had to tell him that no such boOk
had ever been printed or ever will be printed.

man took some OF the brains out OF his own
head and put them under tine hide Of that
horse, and until man can become half horse

tatoes, you send part OF your land and part
OF the best that is in you. and that is what
gives value and character to the product.

brains we send away in the basket OF in the
hide the mere we have left, because it is true
that brains, like muscle, will grow through
exercise"

products we have TO sell, act as sort Of pub

of our farms and our brains.

But a neat package liberally filled with |
good, sound products, such as the seller him
self would be glad to buy (were he in the buy

ion, that the producer and shipper must rank
with those who are good, better, best.
