ing he will fail of getting the benefit
of the lower rates, to the extent OF
the amount that he pays the "agent"
for his services, but that is his own
business, and if the agent can in
duce any large number of people to
order through him he will be making
an easy living, with no worry about
Possesses by poor debts or the fall
of prices.
They say that Parcels Post would
be "class legislation" Ii so the class
benefited, would be, by far, the larg-
est class in our country, as the COM
mon people, those who live by their
labor, and have to purchase their sup
plies, either from the home merchants
or the department stores, are much
more numerous than the small retail
dealer" whome they argue will be
legislated against.
We fail to see why the residents
of our country are not as worthy OF
Parcels Post as those of Germany,
England, or in fact, most any other
country, as almost all of them have
a law of that sort in force.
1t doesn't seem necessary to have
dozen grocery stores in a small town,
when on or two larger ones, with a
fair clerical force would handle all
the merchandise that the dozen are
handling, with far less expense for
rent, bookkeeping, fuel, interest, ana
other expenses, and the customers
could get the benefit OF. the saving,
and have the money saved to pay for
few pleasures that now he is de-
prived of.
The common people are fast becOm-
ing of the belief that concentration is
a good thing, and that 'competition"
is getting to be thing of the past
as our grocers have Grocer's Union
in every town, and there is no COM
petition between the dealers, and the
customers have to pay the prices set
by the Union, and accept the prices
set by the Union on the produce sold
to the members of the Union.
The Government must exercise SUI
pervision over all trusts and combi-
nations to keep them from eXacting
exhorbitant rates from the public, so
there is not the least bit more danger
of a monopoly in merchandise, under
the Parcels Post, than there is at
present, under existing conditions.
1t is true that we need the town
and the merchant, but we do not need
nearly so many as there are in some
towns, so if the Parcels Post does
cause a few of the home merchants
to quit business we are not hurt, as a
whole, but rather benefited by the
change.
We still maintain that "the greatest
good to the greatest number OF peo-
pie" is the rule that should be en-
forced throughout the nation, and a
good Parcels Post law would work to-
ward that end
Let all who are interested (and what
farmer is not?), send letter to his
Congressman, or to the Postmaster
General of the U. S. telling him that
he is expected to use all his power to
get Parcels Post law passed at the
session of Congress, soon to convene.
Let us do our best to get this much
needed law passed, SO as to give us
farmers a fair show, and allow us to
get the greatest good out of our
money.

AS usual thing bank barns are
not good dairy barns, unless the stalls
are placed on the floors entirely above
ground and the basement is used for
storage of implements or purposes OF
a similar nature. A basement as or
dinarily constructed is dark and damp
and has low ceilings. 1t is difficult to
ventilate and entirely unfit for hous-
ing animals The drainage of the
yards around the barn is very import
ant Yards must be dry and firm.
A correspondent asks why home
made butter sells at least cents
pound under creamery butter. 1t is all
in the quality. We have seen home made
butter which in my opinion, was supe-
rior to any creamery we ever tasted.
But there is not enough OF the grade
to establish a market, and the really
good must be sold at the average
price. Having control over every de-
tail home dairy goods should get top
prices.
