Where Economy Comes In.

Remember that 1t is more economical
to buv three or four dozen eggs by par
eel post than one or two dozen. because
after the first mound the postage will
cost the farmer only 1 cent per pound.
When writing to the farmer for his
prices. it is well to tell him what the
same articles are costing in the city
market at the time. This is advisable
because some farmers have an ex-
aegerated idea as to the prices that
city people are willing to pay for fresh
country produce. whereas. others are
entirely moderate and reasonable. 1t is
also well to direct the farmers TO mail
