Do farmers eat the proper sort of food2

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food?
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is SO because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results In
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

But the debt which America owes to her merchant ma
rine in that second independence can be partly
estimated by the fact that armed American privateers

enemy's ships and cargoes, valued at $39,OOO0OO

and the courage initiative of their merchant

an impetus American enterprise that in 1861 our
shipping tonnage almost exactly equaed the whole ton

To-day our entire tonnage, including coastwise
trade from all foreign ships excluded is only
onethird of the British tonnage although foreign
trade has from 375 in 1861 to $685.
