HANDLING FARM PRODUCTS.
improved Methods Praetieed in Many
Agricultural Towns.

Every farming community turns
trade TO the town where best prices
are paid for the minor products which
the farmers have to dispose OF. The
prices paid for butter and eggs. quite
often, decide tie business life OF a
town. The general practice In many
places Is for individual merchants 10
take produce in exchange for goods.
The lowest market price Is the rule In
these towns. Should one merchant
pay q cent o pound more for butter.
or q cent more . dozen for eggs. the
farmers conclude that the difference
Is made up In the quality Of goods or
the quantity they receive in exchange.
To overcome the annOyances occa-
stoned through unwho,esome competi-
ton in the buying OF farmers prod
ucts. the business men OF many agri-
cultural towns. during the past few
years. have undertaken the operation
of cooperative produce establish
meats. These establishments general
" consis, of a connections warehouse
with cold storage appliances. The
holders in the concern. A manager Is
employed on salary and is intrus.ed
With the buying and marketing OF all
produce. The s.orekeepers refer Gil
farmers who have produce for sale to
the produce house and the highest
market price il paid and due bills
given which are payable in goods u,
the stores IN the town.
This method has proved highly sat
isfactory every where ii has been tried
Not alone have the merchants found
II advantageous. but the farmers as
well. Another feature worth cnnsid-
Grafton is the fac; that farmers are
not compelled to trade at any particu.
lar store. but can make their pu.-
chases in any store in the town. Then
again much trade is saved to the COM
nunity that nigh; go Ia, the mailor.

moving vsus blocking the highway are
ali right to accomplish the purpose.
but they're cumbersome. My idea fer
causing q prompt slow.up is to scatter
q lot Of grain in q road and turn lot
Of hens loose. They would block the
road all right. and II there's one thing
that will make chauffeur slow up It's
a hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
hen always runs the wrong way. and
II the machine II going at any speed
usually ends mp under the wheels. Hit
ting a hen will sometimes throw the
front wheels out Of line and cause the
car to swerve. SO drivers almost inva-
r!ably slow up and give poultry .

speed trap Is . great idea. to my way
of thinking. and. Of course. II one Of
the birds were killed the cost could
easily be added to the drivers hne."

TRgHsUae PROMOTED ~ MUD.
Effort 70 De Made to Reach Stored
Eichea In india.

A good story Of hidden treasure
comes from India on the authority "
the late tutor TO the heir apparent OF
Hhopal,
In the hills OF ATarkantGE. In the
central provinces. close TO the sources
Of the Narbada and the Son, there
stands an old deserted fort called Ran
Rakalli. wherein. 30 tradition says, are
collected vast stores OF treasure and
Jewels formerly the property OF the
Hindu rajahs OF the country. but for
ages no one has been able to gain nc
cess to the fort because II IL sur.
rounded by miles OF impossible mud.
The late Sir Richard Temple when
lieutenant governor OF Bengal tried 10
reach II. but his elephant stuck deep
In the mire and he was forced TO adam
don the quest. II In now suggested
that a syndicate should be formed to
exploit this treasure house by means
Of balloons, and u Calcutta capitalist
has promised a large subscription to-
ward the enterprise.
The question which puzzles most
people Is how this ocean of mud ever
came to invest the fort. An effort
will BE- made to enlist the cooperation
OF the maharajah OF Rewa. the ruler
of the district. who Is said To be an en-
lishtened prince. though how II comes
that he has not already taken steps
TO solve the mystery is not stated.
