and luxurious, and the animals have to
move about very little to gather SUI
ficient food. On the first appearance
of winter they are returned to the
stable and the simple round of the
year is completed. This round is re-
peated until the cattle are or years
of age, when they are usually consid-
cred as past the period of dairy profit
and are sent to the shambles. The
object is always to produce AS much
milk and beef as possible from the

Making Goods to Fit the Price.

- z +
An educational campaign on mail-
order methods Of buying stock would
do more toward stimulating home
buying in this town than any other
one thing. The merchants OF Donald
sonville buy standard brands of goods
and get the quality they order.
The mail-order concern dictates its
own purchasing price. 1t is a fact
that buyers for mail-order houses ap-
proach the manufacturer Of an article
and tell him they must have the goods
at a certain figure. 1t is ever a
question of price and not quality.
The manufacturer gives the mail-or-
der concern an article which he has
cheapened until he can make mar
gin of profit in spite of the price
stipulation. If it happens to be an ar.
ticle made of metal, then an inferior
grade lis used, or paint is used in
stead Of enamel, or some other meth
cd employed to force the cost of man.
ufacturing down to meet the maiI-or-
der buyers price. OF course, the out
ward appearance of the article may
be- the same as the one carried by
the merchant in this town, but
2 The merchant paid more, but he got
more for his money. If you buy Of
him you will, too. Then again a
mail-order house will sell an article
at a loss to attract attention. These
leaders" are a bait The catalog
buyer compares this with the price
he would have to pay here, and not
ing the difference, jumps at the con-
clusion that everything in the mail-or-
der house must be less expensive
Paradoxical as it may be, the mail
order goods are cheaper but are not
less expensive.
The retail merchant is the back
bone of the country town. The mail
order house is his worst enemy. If
the persons in this town who buy Of
mail-order houses could be brought to
realize that buying inferior goods at
low prices is not always a saving Of
money, a big step would be taken to-
ward eliminating the nai1-order evil.

Potato Growing Improves Soil.

American potato growers will be in
terested in the fact that German
farmers have found that many indi-
rect benefits result from potato cul-
ture, through modern methods of
crop rotation, green manuring and
fertilizing. II a recently issued bull
1etin, entitled Lessons for Ameri-
can Potato Growers from German
Experiences the departments spe-
cialist describes, among other things,
how eastern Germany benefits from
the cultivation Of the potato
The potato has played the greatest
role in the agricultural development
Of light and fertile soils of this re-
gion, as Ghe sugar beet has done in
heavier sells. According to German
specialists. these hoed root crops are
beneficial to any soil, through the
deep and thorough culture that is
given them, with it's resultant i'm
provement in the physical condition
and aeration.
The profits from the crop justify
the liberal use of commercial fer..li-
zers, from which there are important
residual effects on other crops in the
rotation. The clean culture practiced
3lso brings all weeds into thorough
subjection. The yields per acre of all
farm crops have been greatly in
creased since the extension of potato
growing. O.
Potato tops are now dried and used
for stock food on many estates. The
by-product, mash, resulting from the
distillation of potatoes into alcohol, is
also an important economical factor.
While We have, in fact, better
soils than Europe in almost unIimit-
ed area adapted for potatoes, our
hot summers injure the potato plant,
where they aid in the development
of our great grain crop, corn. In the
corn belt there can never be profit
in growing potatoes in excess of
those needed locally for table use.
Corn can be produced more economi-
cally, is better for stock feeding, and
is cheaper source of starch and al
cohol. Farther north, however,
and in the elevated western dis
tricts where corn can not be raised,
potato growing has a greater future.
However, vast deposits of pc
troleum will also offer competition
indirectly to the potato, as at pres
ent there is not the need in this
country that there is in Germany for
potato alcohol Nevertheless, we
are using up our great petroleum re-.
sources, and the time may not be far
distant when the distilling of a1cohok
from potatoes may become an imporS
tant industry.
