GET PROFIT IN VEGETABLES
Retailing Them and Small Fruits
viii Bring Most Money-Farmer
Near Town Has Advantage.

The retailing Of fresh vegetables
and small fruits is much the mott
profitable way of disposing of the
homegrown products The farmer
living on a good stone road, within
five miles Of a manufacturing town or
village. can build up a profitable
trade for all he can produce of fresh
vegetables. fruits, poultry and dairy
products. The road of success de-
pends largely upon the ability of the
grower to furnish a good article on
time, give honest measure and to
have polite, obliging manners. Po-
likeness, honesty and quality of pro-
duce goes long way in making and
holding custom. Vegetables for the
retail trade may be allowed to be-
come fully ripe; for the wholesale
market they must be gathered when
not quite ripe Sweet corn for re-
failing should be gathered when in
the milk. Gather the ears the day
before. Keep in a cool cellar. II
packed in bulk the corn will heat
and the flavor will be spoilt The
same method must be followed with
peas, snap and lima beans. Gather
tomatoes when fully ripe, but firm.
Wipe the tomatoes clean, place firsts
In one basket and the seconds or
cooking tomatoes in separate baskets.
White or Irish potatoes, freshly dug,
are drier and have better flavor than
those that have been dug and exposed
to the air for some days. Freshly
cut cabbage, turnips, beets, carrots
and satisfy roots gathered fresh from
the garden are tender and we'll flav-
ored. Anyone accustomed to eating
freshly grown vegetables will readily
give an extra price for such. In re-
falling make 1t a point to sell out
the entire load; the last of the load
may be sold to some provision dealer,
as 1t does not pay to bring 1t back
to the farm. Farmers far from mar.
ket should grow only those vegetables
and fruits that are best suited to their
soil and climate and are most wanted.
1t Is best to study the market and
consult commission agents, also ex.
perienced men in the business, before
starting In the business. The retail
trade Is the most profitable, as Just
double cash price can be had for
everything.

To Save Mil Fad.

The man who Is In the hog busi-
ness should take special pains to
grow alfalfa, because in no. other way
can he supply protein feed to his
brood sows so cheaply. Alfalfa pas
ture Is the best hog forage that has
yet been found. but in territory where
alfalfa Is new and hard to get It is
doubtful whether the swine raiser can
afford to pasture It He would better
cut 1t and cure It carefully for winter
user to reduce the mill-feed bill, than
to pasture his limited area Brood
sows eat 1t greedily in winter and do
remarkably well on It with limited
ration Of corn. In some cases brood
sows have been wintered entirely
on alfalfa hay, but probably that is
not the best plan. They will do bet
ter II they have a little corn, plenty
of alfalfa-and plenty of exercise.

But this guess proved incorrect.
The doors were open; from the presi-

Neil Blanding put the mystery away

MAKING HEN LAY IN WINTER
Oregon Agricultural College Asks
Poultrymen Why Profits Are Not
larger-Some Of Replies.

The Oregon Agricultural college has
been asking poultrymen why profits
are not larger and out of 333 answers
received the following replies: 81
said the problem was, how to gel
eggs in winter; 60, lice and mites;
Sc. raising the chickens; "a, hawks;
6. coyotes; "a, other vermin: 4, rains
or wet weather; 20. feeding; 9, hatch.
Ing; 6S. miscellaneous difficulties.
To make the hen lay In winter Is
apparently the real problem: and yet
Its solution depends upon the solu.
ton of other problems. It is not
merely a question of caring for or
making the hens lay. The problem
goes back to the making Of the hen.
II the hen were made right there
would be little trouble in making her
lay. How to make the len lay In
winter resolves itself largely into q
question Of making the hen.
To get profitable egg yield under
any conditions, the flock of layers
must be frequently renewed. The old
hen doesn't pay. For commercial
purposes 1t seldom pays to keep her
more thar two years. This means
that in a few years the farmer has
raised several generations Of fowls,
and any mistake In the breeding or
raising is very soon evident. To be
successful a poultry raiser must be
able to maintain offspring with the
same vigor and vitality as the parent;
otherwise there would soon be no
eggs iii winter because Of lack OF
constitutional vigor in the stock.
