Mind you, the figures Pm giving are only applicable to this one little rural town. Prices to sellers and cost to consumers may vary widely in other localities. But, unless my experience and observation are at fault, the un- deriving principle governs in practical ly all places. The farmer is getting less than his goods are really worth and the ultimate consumer Is paying more than they are really worth. Both producer and consumer spend more or less of their spare time kicking the middleman. He, thrifty soul, takes their kicks and their money and looks pleasant.

Since that time have had no trouble at all in selling all the dressed lamb l wished to dispose of at similarly re- munerative prices. Those customers who find that they can buy lamb which they know to be fresh, which they can see to be fat, which their eating proves to be tender and sweet-they are eager to get more of 1t especially when they can also save themselves money by buying it.

So l came back home and dressed lamb. It weighed eighty pounds, alive. The two dressed halves weighed forty one pounds and fraction. I sold them at 16 cents a pound. I also had the pelt, which I sold for 5S cents. A liver-loving. neighbor took the liver, heart, etc, at 40 cents. This brought my receipts for the lamb up to $7.54, against $4.S0 offered by the butcher an advance of S2.74. I made that amount, clear, by going direct to the consumer; the consumer saved more than an equal amount by coming direct to the producer. It was an economy to both of us. I netted about 1-2 cents, live weight, for my lamb, which is quite an improvement over the 6 cents which was hesitatingly offered by the dealer. It represents the difference be- tween the bare cost of production and maintenance and said cost with liv- ing profit added.

(Written. Specially for The Bulletin.)
 I've been having a rather good illus tration this fall of the way in which many farmers lose what belongs to them. Let me tell you about it.
 Last spring 1 had fewer lambs than usual. Three promising ewes proved barren; and lost several young things through unpredictable and unprevent- able accidents. Consequently my gross income from the sale of lamb promised to be smaller than usual-smallerath I had been accustomed to and smaller than I had banked on. It behooved me, therefore, to get all that was possibly coming to me from the residue. As they began to get big enough to turn off I set out to inquire about prices. The dealers in live lambs talked 5-1-2 cents; one of them, seeing that mine were extra large and fat, thought he might, perhaps, stretch it to 6 cents. But he wouldn't promise to pay that for any but the first one. If he could get rid of that one and save" himself, why then, maybe, he'd try some more, etc, etc.
