Good Advice: Sell Finished Products.

One who takes not a little interest in
rural betterment and agricultural de
yelopment generally, asked us who made
the best speech at the dinner given al
the West End Hotel, Portland, by the
Industrial Department of the Maine
Central railroad recently. Without
moments hesitation we replied "a. B.
Kicker"
He replied "That is lust my idea ano
at the same time Gov. Fernald as usua
made fine talk as did dozen Others
but Al Kicker got right down to the
bread aud butter facts. When he tolc
us to buy less and sell more he was
barking way back to the cry of oul
fathers. When he told us to eat up The
most of what we raise and sell finished
product in the form of pork, beef and
lamb, he was getting right down to tht
basic truth of things. We don't like tt
sell finished products. It's too much
like work to feed steers and hogs. lt''
a good deal easier to sell hay and buy
phosphate. The trouble is manufacture
ing finished products is good deal like
work on the farm and most anywhere
else"
eyes stree" he continued, "Mr. Kicker
told more truths than any one speaker
of the day and they were all good, far
above the average. Why, just think fol-
a moment and tell me what would hap
pen here in Maine if fifty per cent of ouI
| farmers in Maine would accept the pre-
cepts he laid down and began farming
next spring upon his plan. What revo
luton it would make inside of years

It is pleasant to know that Mr.. Kicker
practices what he breaches and has done
so for good many years. They milk
100 COWS and often more, and with their
army of horses employed, not to speak
of the swine kept, manufacture vast
amount of valuable fertilizer that is
utilized to the very best possible ad-
vantage. They know that they can raise
