MODERN METHODS or
BUYING ON THE FARM
Average Farmer Prefers &c Buy Goods
Direct and Have Them Delivered
Al His Door.

The average farmer of today feels
that he has as much right to have his
goods delivered at his door as the party
who lives IN town, and as time goes on
the tendency in the farming communi-
ties Is more and more towards buyino
their supplies direct and having them
delivered right at their doors. As a re-
suit OF these conditions in all the enter
prisIng farming communities you will
flnd the grocery wagon, tea and coffee
wagons, meat wagons, modern medi-
cine wagons, etc. There is no getting
around the fact that these institutions
for the convenience of the farmers are
here to stay.
One thing that is particularly notice
able is, that the sale of domestic medi-
cines, stock remedies, favoring extracts,
spices, toilet articles etc., through the
medium of the modern medicine wagons
driven by up-to-date statesmen of today
has grown TO an enormous proportion
IN the last 10 to Is years. OF course,
all manufacturers are right after the
farmers trade and as result of this
competition there has been great i'm
provement in the quality of the goods
handled by these wagons, and our farm
er friends tells US that it is a recog-
nized fact in the farming communities
that superior line of goods is handled
by these wagons, compared with similar
lines. OF goods usually sold over the
counter in town.
The idea is right here, that these
medicine companies do not go to the
expense OF muchnewspaper advertising
and as result they are enabled to give
a large package of superior goods at a
less price than the manufacturers who
market their goods through other chan
nels- To illustrate the high quality of
these preparations it is only necessary
to mention the fact that the most of
these medicine salesman practically
leave their goods on trial with their
customers and ask no money unless the
goods are satisfactory. This plan of
selling naturally appeals to the farmer
and as result most every farmer buys
at least part of his supplies from the
medicine wagons.
There was time before the enact
ment of the pure food laws over the
country that there were lot of old
peddlers of fake nostrums travelling
about the country marketing an en-
tirely different line of stuff, but the en-
actment of the pure food laws seem to
have driven this undesirable class of
vendors out of the field and it is very
doubtful if one of these old time fakirs
could go into the average farming COM
munlty and do enough business to keep
a going. The farmer of today demands
the best goods because he has the money
to pay for them. Times are not what
they were % years ago when grain and
stock were selling at low price and
every farm had "a mortgage upon it.
The farmer of today is the most in
dependent person on earth. They are
independent and they know it, and woe
to the person who tries TO dictate as to
how and where they shall spend their
money. Duluth Telegraph Herald, May
%, 1909.

A big box containing between TWEEN
ty-five and thirty cats were shipped
from this city to Madison by Jesse

he expects to make another shipment

THE MOUNT LYELL
QUADRANGLE


The United States Geological Sur
vey's topographic map of the Mount
Lyell quadrangle, California, which
was recently brought up to date by
field surveys, has just been reprinted.
1t shows a fine piece of mapping of a
remarkable part of the high Sierra.
The area mapped affords one of the
best illustrations of the old lowland
plain which, uplifted in early geologi-
cal time, now forms the crest of the
Sierra in California to the west and
south of Mount Dana and Kuna and
Kolp peaks. The quadrangle contains
a portion of the famous Mono lake,
which is about fifteen miles in dame
ter. This lake has no outlet and lies
in a beautiful mountain valley where
there are perhaps 10000 acres of vol
canic land that under irrigation will
yield large crops of alfalfa, grass and
other products. To the west, and

would be able to stop an expedition

whether, even if she were left unhin-

GERMANY'S WARNING FOR
MOROCCO.

1t is natural that the Pan-German
enthusiasts should froth at the
mouth at seeing France encroach on
Morocco on account of the existing
disturbances, and it is possible that
German diplomacy may be tempted
to try again the bluff that brought
about the Algeciras conference.
Morocco is the most tempting prize
that Africa has to offer for European
enterprises, with its temperate eli
mate. it's great unexpected natural
resources and it's command of the
entrance to the Mediterranean. The
fact that its Berber and Moorish in
habitants are white men, who have
given invaders all the fghting they
wanted throughout the course of his
tory and have generally kept them
out of the country, counts for little
with people who live on memories
of the victory over the French and
believe that das crosse Volk is in
viucible. It is maddening to them
to think that Gremany has no
shadow of claim to any part OF
Morocco, and that even surreptitious
methods of settling up commercial
grievances are held in check by the
