TO buy lumber and building supplies
direct from house wrecklng or cata-
logue lumber houses. owing to what
seem like exorbitant prices charged by
the home dealer. It IS well TO take one
or two things into account before do-
ing so. Much OF this catalogue stuff
is job lots--that is. inferior and often
secondhand or second grade material

When one buys carload OF this stock
the per cent Of poor stuff is usually
large; but. whether large or small. the
buyer has it on his hands and cannot
return Il as he may If be buys of the
home dealer. Hence be should figure
this IN as portion Of the cost price
along with freight charges, which are
often left out Of the count when com

decides to make his purchase, it will be

NINETEEN BUSHELS PER ACRE.

I \
In many sections Of the oat belt
there has been marked deterioration
in the oat yield during the past two or
three years. and so pronounced has
this been that comment or two
touching the situation may be worth
while. The low yield OF this year
seems in part due TO poor seed. but
possibly IN larger measure to the fact
that the grain was not sown with the
disk drill, aE II should have been. but
was broadcasted 10 slack and SLOW
enly manner. With the result that the
stand was very poor Contributing TO
this result is another factor that Is
even more fundamental-nameIy. a
gradual depletion OF the soil by an i'm
proper method OF tilage TO the point
where 1t is not capable OF producing
satisfactory yield. In list of some
twenty men whose thrashing returns
were reported 10 the writer recently
the average yield was hut nineteen
bushels TO the acre, the lowest being
eleven bushels and the highest thirty
FIVE and one half bushels. or over three
times as much The farm which pro-
duced the eleven busheI yield has been

One OF the secrets OF the careful
fruit growers success in the famous
apple valleys Of the west lies IN the
thinning Of overloaded trees when the
green fruit is the size Of a hickory nut
or little larger. 1t costs less TO pick
green apple than a ripe one and as a
tree has capacity to bring only given
weight Of fruit to proper maturity. the
grower secures IN Increased size what
he loses 10 number Of apples. with the
result that at harvest time he has APP
pies of much larger size and superior
quality. and these two things mean an
