THE PUBLIC IS

A travelling man, discussing a. certain branded ware made by a. rival of his concern, said:
 ''It is really remarkable, but it is a fact that nine people out of ten who go into a store and pick up a piece of this ware ask if it is -- S."
 The name he mentioned was that of his own concern-one that has been made known by advertising for 100 years.
 The advertising of his con- cern's ware has been backed up with unusual merit.
 The ware is as good as it is well known.
 Yet others are making ware which is probably as meritorious but which the public is chary about buying. Purchasers have to be convinced of its merits. Advertising has made the other ware the standard of its kind - the public has come to think of the trademark in con nection with the article.

Miss Madge Leasing, who is now

She was telling us the other day
that soon after she went to Germany
she was interviewed by the representa-

The interview complimented her
on being able to speak her lines in
the piece without a trace of foreign
accent.
"Oh," replied Miss Leasing frivol'
ously, 81 play in five languages-Ger-
man, French, American, English and

Poor Miss Leasing expected at least
a smile at her little joke, but the in.
terviewer wrote it down quite seri
ously, and in due course the statement
appeared in print.
Almost Immediately another news
paper chided her, solemnly informing
her that American, English and Irish
were practically one and the same lam
guage. Miss LEASING" it pointed ont,

BETTER PRICE FOR PRODUCE
Great Many Farmers Make Mistake of
Allowing Fruit and Vegetables to
Become Too Ripe.

Many farmers allow dollars of pos
sible profits to slip through their
hands by neglecting to properly pre-
pare their produce for market. Fruit
and vegetables for nearby market
need not be picked until almost ripe,
but for long distance shipment they
must be harvested earlier. A great
many growers make the mistake of al.
lowing their fruit and vegetables to
become too ripe before gathering and
as result the products that look SO
attractive when starting reach their
For this reason we must carefully con
slider the distance to market before
harvesting our products.
All tender fruit and vegetables in
tended for sale in a fresh condition
should be carefully handled. Bruised
fruits and vegetables soon decay and
affect other specimens next to them
in the package This destroys the APP
pearance of the products and ruins

There Is seldom time when nicely

1t is the poorly packed, poorly devel.

are drug on the market. The ex-

good bacon pig. we might start first
from the head.
Here, length of snout, which partly
includes length of jowl and the alb
sence of loose flabbiness so frequent
ly seen there, indicates as rule q
lengthy animal. The idea has been
to reduce the cheap parts of the anil
NAL and to increase those which are
dearer. On that account light fore
head is necessary, but 1t must not be
at the expense Of width of back or
depth in the pig.
AS rule a pig narrow at the poll
(between the ears) is not the widest
on his top, nor is he the thriftest Of
feeders. There may be exceptions to
this rule. but 1t can be applied gener-
ally. The advantages of a prominent
eye and a smooth unwrinkled jaw or
cheek, as we'll as width between the
eyes, are that they invariably indicate
a smooth, lean-fleshed animal.
A short heavy head is invariably as
ISOLATED with very round body and
wide and very fat back, altogether
a wasteful carcass. The neck should
not be too long, otherwise 1t indicates
weakness, and a short neck generally
goes with a short side, which from
the bacon point of view of course is
not desirable. It is important to note
the character OF the middle piece.
The ribs should spring from the
back, but they should not be entirely
round. They should rather spring well
and allow the animal to be turned
out slightly fiat from the sides. There
will then be less wasteful fat on the
top without decreasing the depth of
the pig. -" ~'----
What is wanted is pig that con-
tains a maximum of lean meat and an
undercut with as much streaky as pos
sible. The loin should, of course, be
covered and muscular, because so
much depends on good development
there. The rump should not be too
straight, otherwise the hams will IN
