TO GET THE PRICE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE
 MET

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin)
 While farming isn't bonanza for any of us. there are more profits in farming than most of us get.
 IF we would only pay more attention to getting profits and less to having our own wayi
 The case of Oregon apples has bean thraShed out, over and. over again. Why do Oregon apples bring more by the bushel box than better favored and more satisfying apples from Con necticut or Massachusetts will fetch by the barrel? Simply because they are packed to suit the wbims of the market, not according to the whims Of ten thousand different orclardists.
 The same thing holds good with pretty nearly everything the farmer has to sell. If he wants to sell it for a good price he must furnish it in such shape as the man with the good price is anxious to have 1t in. If the fatmer is putting a barrel of apples or a. bin Of potatoes into his own cellar, or a ton of hay into his own barn for his own stock, then 1t makes no manner of difference what anybody else thinks about the way he grades them. They are graded for himself, and he has no call to think further. But if he is putting them up to sell, then it really makes a mighty big, difference about the way they're graded The question then lS- What will the possible buyer think2
 And the farmer who is looking to sell at the best price will try to so grade and pack and show his goods that they will suit that buyers taste.
 think Eve told you the story of the western hay buyer who tried to buy direct from farmers, but had to give it up and return to the speculators. for the reason that he couldn't get hay graded as he needed it any other way. There is a difference between fancy --clcver mixed" Not only is there a difference in the character and looks of the hay, but there's a difference in the price When he bought from a professed hay speculator he got the grade he ordered for the price he paid. But when he tried to buy from farm CTS direct, he never knew what he was going to get If he wanted and or dered fancy Timothy, clear" he might get that, or he might get a good grade of mixed hay. or he might get something else which the farmer. for himself believed just as good" The buyer was never certain what he was going to find when he opened the stuff up- He actually lost much more money in one season by reason of the inequality of the hay he bought from the farms, than he ,Sav- ed by eliminating the speculator's commissions and profits So he went back to that canny individual and is now paying regularly something over a dollar ton for his hay more than the farm price, just in order to be sure that he wilff get what he orders when he orders it.

was just an old wagon loaded up with
 truck. The other man had all his
 stuff arranged in order. Each variety
 was by itself. where it could be seen
 readily and examined handily, and was
 so displayed as to make it attractive even to the casual eye. Moreover, 1t
 had all been graded and punched be-
 forehand, with an evident eye to what the trucker had learned of the de-
 mands of his patrons. The other mans
 load was, probably. worth as much, in itself. But it didn't sell so quickly, nor bring in so much money at the end,
 because the driver hadn't thought it worth while to humor the whims of
 those whose money he was after. To bring right prices, produce must
 be graded right. 1t is more of a trick than some might think to do this sort of grading. Not every farmer could
 do it, even if he should try. It requires
 mands; a quick hand and quicker eye; above all, a willingness to throw
 ruthlessly into the cull heap every thing which doesn't fully come up to standard. It's very easy to drop into the barrel a dozen or two Nofr apples, just to fill up. "The rest are all fan cy; just few of these seconds won't be noticed.'' An, but they be. The chances are eleven out of ten that those very culls will work to the top
 and your whole barrel be sold at the price of culls.
 1t is very common thing for farm
 CTS who are conscious of having good stuff to sell, to rely upon the goods to
 sell themselves. They reason that
 quality is of more importance than
 looks and will tell effectually. Very
 likely this ought to be so; with some buyers it probably is so. But looks count for 8 great deal, and present tendencies are toward the en-
 phasizing of appearances. Whether we wholly approve of this or not, as
 sellers in the market we will profit in
 needing it.
 If we are growing things for our
 selves alone, then it is nobodys busi-
 ness what we grow nor how we pack it away. But if we're growing things in the hope of exchanging them for somebody else's money, then it be- hooves us to find out what sort of things that somebody wants to ex-
 change his money for and fix up our stuff to suit his notions.
 Why not?2 He's. paying for it, isn't
 he? Why shouldn't he have the say about what he is to pay for?

NEW LONDON FIRE DEPARTMENT
Move By Northwest Hose Company Looked on as Step For Paid Companies What the Others Have Done and Are Doing-Bll Boards About City

The baby company of the New London fire department, the North west Hose company, and designated as No. ', is serving as the entering wedge for paid fire department, a project that has for many years been mentioned but squelched by the volun- teer hremen who are glad to serve the city at their own personal sacrifice and by the great majority of tax pay CTS who are content with the ac-
 knowledged and often demonstrated efficiency of the department, as or ganized long before the Norwests came into existence. That company was formed as an independent organ ization with the idea of giving better protection to the Northwest section Of the city. It was given quarters in city building and supplied with ap- paratus ample for the service that was supposed to be rendered. Grad ualiy the company forced itself into ceiving the same allowances as the other companies. Not very long ago this enterprising company decided to have a motor driven apparatus and purchased with it's own funds a large and powerful secondhand touring transfer into a fire apparatus at an expense of over a thousand dollars and, after the contract was awarded, asked the city to pay the bill and the SoSu lue city treasury.
 It was understood that the machine was to be operated without expense to the city, just as the Niagara company has been operating motor Griven ap- paratus for the past fourteen years, the city allowing the company the same amount that was paid for horse hire in drawing apparatus to and from the fires. The Northwests now find that they cannot run their machine on that basis and will ask the city to pay for a couple of drivers, one to be on duty at all times ready to respond to calls. Should this be granted the Northwests would have the only paid firemen in the employ of the city. This would be the establishment of a pay roll for the two Niagara drivers and the drivers of the Pequots and the Thomas Hose company drivers as well, and would mean a nucleus of eight paid men for a regularly organ ized paid fire department. Then the question would arise where will the roll of paid men end. It would not be a surprise if later on the Northwests would ask pay for the crew that would be stationed in the house at night, and the pay fever would extend through the whole department.

them. They go to buy the goods they want and they go to the store which

Whether their whims are always reasonable or not is not the question, and hasn't much to do with 1t. They have the money which we farmers are after and why should we expect them to pay it to us for goods we'd like to get rid of, but they don't want any more than do storekeepers for goods those men are overstocked with?
 The whole thing is a simple enough matter if one will only stop and con- slider it reasonably.
 Here am |, for example, growing green peas among other things. There are two great classes of green peas; one the early, round hard, buclIshot sort and one the sweeter, wrinkied kind Now the buclSshot varieties are very much easier to raise and very much more productive. But my mar ket doesn't want them; won't pay for them Won't take them as a gift. It wants the sweet. wrinkied peas, all l can raise, and will pay me any price ask, within reason, if I'll supply that kind.
 Now, don't you see that it isn't any of my business, as green pea grower, to argue with my customers about their tastes? Nor is it sensible for me, just because I can raise more of the buckshots on the same ground, to keep on growing them. My business is to supply my customers with the sort of peas they want and are eager to pay good prices for.
 The rule is exactly the same in ev- cry branch of farm sales. Whether you're growing garden sass or ber- ries or orchard fruits or potatoes and grains and hay, if you're raising them to sell the first thing of all to do is raise the sorts which will sell best and f Ia and ir7 yaI1 ways as the market demands. l re- member once passing two wagons on the public mrlxet of a neighboring city. Both were just in from the country with miscellaneous loads of produce. An hour later, passing them again, found that one was almost sold out while the other man hadn't made any visible hole in his load. They had about the same things and, intrinsic ally. I saw they were of about the same quality. But the slow moving load was just hodge -podge; everything was dumped in, regardless; there was little attempt at classified tion and none whatever at display. It

THE CHARM
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try Ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism united for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

who make practice of thickly set ting some section of the city and pay little regard for city Identification But there are exceptions and many or them in the city of New London where some of the best kept premises in the city are owned and occupied by Ital- ians. One of the principal imove- ments of the society is opposing the erection of bill boards many of which they declare, are unsightiy and ought to be declared public nuisances. By reason of the avowed objection Of the society to bill boards. one of the mem bers recently resigned because he could not consistently retain member ship because he was owner. in part, of property that had been leased for balf board purposes This gentleman was surely consistent in his action and is far removed from that undesirable element" referred to, but he was in favor of that particular bill board Tor the revenue there was in it. or to sat isfy the other owners of the property.
 Not so with Charles Satti, an Italian citizen, who owns that large vacant lot near the junction of Bank street and Montauk avenue, between the building erected for the Queen Anne Curtain company and the brick block erected by L. c. Raymond. That lot is one of the most desirable sites for a bill board in the city of New Lon don and was sought for bill board purposes MT. Satti was offered a fancy price for lease for bill board privileges. over S100 a year, but the offer was refused. Not that MT. Satti did not need the money, but from the fact that he had more genuine civic pride than some members of the Municipal Art society. He believed the sign would be objectionable to other property owners in the vicinity and a general detriment to the general appearance of his adopted city.
 This same Charles Satti formerly conducted one of the best-kept liquor saloons in the city, bur was denied renewal of license because sr was found that there was entrance to the saloon from the tenement he occupied over the store, and which he claimed was rarely opened and then not for the purpose of eyading the law. Other saloons in the immediate vicinity where a murder and several stabbing afrays had ocurred were granted re- newals, but MT. Satti was denied and since then he has been engaged in the grocery and fruit business. Otlo s who are chased by some as that ''un- desirable foreign element" like Mir. Satti, are examples of advocates of civic pride that are worthy of emula- ton, even by members of the Muni- cipal Art society.

making both ends meet. Each one was picking and packing his own way. Two or three seasons ago they organ ized, and hired a competent packer Instead of each man putting up his own fruits and berries according to his own sweet will, this packer now directs the putting up of all their com bined yields. He first goes to his market and finds out exactly what it wants, in what grades, in what pack ages, and what price it will pay for s'firSts," seconds and "culls." Then the entire yield of the whole bunch of growers is picked, graded and packed in exact accordance with the instruc- tions he issues to meet the market de- mandS last summer was the second of the experiment, and one of the ber- ry growers told me right in the height of the season that, as a result of this intelligent business handling, he was then getting almost twice as much per box for his entrants and raspberries as he did two seasons before.
 The case of the Oregon apples is old history to every orchardiSt. The Ore gon growers keep in constant touch with their market and respond to it's demands about as quickly and smooth ly as weather vane responds to a whiting breeze. They pack just the size and shape and color of fruit which the market will pay a fancy price for. Then they pay freights that would scare Yankee farmer bald-headed, and still get more than New England apple growers can get for better apples.
 Two years ago the Long Island Caulif1ower Growers association was organized with a total capital of just S6,0O0. Last season it helped its mem berS sell over $500, 900 worth of cauli- flower which a money than they had ever got before for similar crop, rolled up a surplus or $25,00O, and paid big dividends Part Of this was due to the natural effects of cooperation, and the fact that the officers charged only S65 for their ser vices during the year. But some share Of the improvement was also due to the better system of grading and pack ing which was introduced.
 The farmer is about the only man engaged in selling stuff who thinks he can afford to ignore the wishes of his customers. Can you imagine a dry goods merchant keeping on his shelves and continuing to offer the kinds of goods which were in demand ten years ago? It may be that those goods were just as well made and just as good looking as those of the 1913 models But he doesn't give such considerations thought. What he is trying to do, all the time, is to keep in stock the sort of goods which his customers want to buy. It keeps him jumping, too to maintain a position even with the whims of fashion
 It is so with every other business ex- eept farming. The seller is constantly alert to the changing demands of his market, so as to be ready to furnish 1t with what it wants to buy. People don't go to any sort of store and buy undesirable goods just for the sake of helping the storekeeper get rid of
