What does it profit the farmer
who buys his flour for wheat to
he high? What does it profit
the farmer for hogs to be high if
he doesn't raise them and buys
his meat? When corn is high
the farmer is not benefited who
has to buy corn. The high
prices of certain products right
now are bringing squaroly home
with considerable force the prin-
ciple Of "Iiving at home" The
man who wishes to profit by high
