Just a Word About
Sole Leather

VOU undoubtedly
L know that the only
way to produce old-fash-
Toned, long-wearing sole
leather is by laying away
In bark a sufficient length
of time to enable the fl
bres of the hide to thor
oughly knit together com
pactly.
You also probably know that
recently it has become very
general to manufacture sole
leather by what's termed the
quick tanning process. " This
is done by forcing into the hide
extracts and adulterants by
machinery and then filling
with glutinous substance.
You are also acquaint-
ed with the difference in
the service given by the
two methods and it is un-
necessary to further dis
cuss their merits.
The question for the
customer to decide is
which kind is he getting
in his shoes and how to
distinguish them. In the
finished product this is
practically impossible,
and he is therefore depen-
dent on the manufacture
er.
When the consumer pays the
price for a high-grade shoe he
has purchased the right to
the best leather which can be
produced.
HAYWOOD SHOES
are made with selected
sole8 cut from ''long time
tanned oak sole leather"
and it is a guarantee that
the manufacturer is Civ
ing the best the market
affords.

BERRIES YIELD BIG PROFITS
Farmers Forming Cooperative Sell
Ing Companies to Get Best
Prices for Fruit.

When the berry season is on in
those sections surrounding big mar
kets like Chicago, New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Providence and the
principal southern cities, agents for
all the large commission houses are
stationed at the different railway
stations where they meet the farmers
when they arrive with their heavily
loaded wagons and make bids for
their various lots.
Of course the highest bidder gets
the berries and the money is at ice
paid over to the farmer. Next to
dairying perhaps berries are the best
cash crop farmers raise,
In a little town of only 1900 inhab-
itants in New Jersey the past season
as high as $4,000 was paid for berries
in a single day.
Berry farmers are now forming CO.
operative selling companies through
which all their fruit is sold in common
and the money is distributed to the
growers by their own agent, who at
tends to the selling.
On an acre of rich cultivated land a
crop of berries can be grown that will
net $500 or even more, An acre of
such land should produce at the rate
of 200 bushels. A short crop is gen
orally caused by land deficient in fer
tility or plant food. Such land can be
benefited by composted manure and
turned under and top dressed. Large
amounts Of commercial fertilizer is
also used by various growers and
ashes br~oadcasted is also a favorable
application,
Improper preparation of the soil is
another reason for a short crop.

INCREASED COST OF LIVING
National Master Bachelor Says Farm
er Is Not Receiving His Proper
tion of Advance.

National Master Bachelor in an ad-
dress before the 44th annual meeting
of the National Grange, used the fol-
lowing language:
THE increased cost of living is a
most widely discussed question, for
while there has been a marked ad-
vance in retail prices of farm prod
ucts, 1t Is a mistaken idea that the
farmers are receiving proportionately
higher prices. The great discrepancy
between the price paid the farmer and
the cost to the onsumer Is due to
several causes, among them being bad
roads, which increases the cost Of
marketing the crops; excessive
freight charges, based on watered
stocks far exceeding the value of the
railways; and the ~exorbitant profits Of
the commission houses and others in
the chain of communication between
the producer and the consumer. An
encouraging sign of the times is the
formation of associations of farmers
for the purpose of eliminating these
abuses, and securing fairer treatment
in the matter Of freight charges, stor-
age charges, etc. The general adop-
ton of such cooperative methods by
the farmers would give them larger
profits and at the same time reduce
the prices paid by the consumers of
the towns and cities for food stuffs."

BABY'S ECZEMA AND B0ILS

Quick Fattening of Poultry.

1t Is often desirable to fatten poul-
try quickly. In fact, poultry that is
fattened as quickly as possible is al
ways better than that which is lean or
that has been fattened slowly, The
best way to accomplish this is to con-
fine the fowls where they have but
little chance to take exercise. Give
them fine cracked corn, grit and all
the pure water they will drink. Keep
them as quiet as possible, and for this
purpose 1t is better to confine them
where they cannot see out, If a build
ing of this kind is available. Fed in
this way for ten days or two weeks,
even old and ordinarily tough hens be-
come tender and very fat and their
meat is so much superior to that Of
fowls fattened out Of doors and having
full liberty that 1t would seem as II
they had been changed to something
else. One who has once eaten OF
poultry fattened In this way will never
want any other kind.

FARMER AND THE MIDDLEMAN
President Worst of North Dakota
Agricultural College, Talks on
Emancipation Of Agriculture.

President J. H, Worst, of the North
Dakota agricultural college, sees some
discomfort up his way in the expense
attached to marketing the farmers
crops. In an adrdess on the enamel
patton of agriculture, delivered to the
graduating class on the occasion of
the seventeenth annual commence
ment, his striking conclusion is that
the farmer must get rid of the middle
man. He said:
From its strategic position, agri-
culture could easily regulate the dis
tribution of the chief forms of wealth
1t produces, or at least have a voice
In the organization of the machinery
necessary for distributing 1t among
the consumers Of the country. More
over, the financial gain that would
thus reward the producer would not
be the only nor yet the chief advan-
tage that would accrue. The effect
upon the country itself would be most
salutary. Higher education would be
directed less toward the desire for
making off the other fellow. Agricul-
ture would also acquire the habit Of
attending more largely to its own bus
mess affairs. The consumer mean
while would more nearly secure his
goods at prices determined by the
law of supply and demand.
Under the present regime, however,
the farmer car neither regulate the
price of what he has to sell or buy.
He is completely at the mercy of
those whom he supports. Most coun-
tries of Europe have been forced long
since by sheer necessity to dispense
with all but necessary middlemen.
The time is not far distant, moreover,
in this country when agricultural CO.
operation will become a necessity, for
in business as In nature, the ~organiza-
tion invariably seizes upon and SON
sumes the u~norganized elements. Or
gained capital exacts tribute from
productive labor with the same ease
and freedom with which the wheat
plant captures millions of atoms OF
earth and air and weaves them into
its W structure, without so much as
by your leave. Hence agriculture. I'M
organized and unco-operative, must
inevitably become the common prey
of organized forces. From this con.
clusion there can be no escape.

to his friends. The trees do not look
so enormous when one is riding
among them, and Mrs. X. was not
properly awed by their s%tupendous
proportions.
Really, professor" she argued,
"they are not so very large, after
all"
They were riding along in single
file, and the professor halted.

edge Of this tree, isn't it?"
She nodded.
"And your horse is behind miner
Again she nodded.
"Following you is Professor X, and
behind him Mr.. g., whose horses tail
is at the farther side of the tree. That
means that the diameter Of this tree
is the length of four horses stand
ing head to tail in a straight line"
Mrs. x. turned in her saddle and
viewed the trees and the horses. Fol
several seconds she said nothing;
then her face lighted up, and she
smiled at him as she exclaimed:
oh, but professor, these are very
small horses!"-Youth's Companion.
