Your Thanksgiving Dinner Direct from!

OF other farmers should not with

city dwellers would prefer to get
direct from the farmer rather than
through the medium of cold storage

Poultry Is one of the farm products
which should appeal most strongly to
parcel post buyers. AS every OK

killed, healthy farm chickens have a
flavor vastly superior to that Of birds
long in storage or feverish from close
confinement In crowded and often UNI

The delicious slow-cured smoked
ham is another luxury almost i'm.

ly 1t is hard to find, for comparatively
few farmers have mastered the art Of
making It.
If you do succeed in finding
farmer who makes butter you like
and is willing to supply you. it can
be shipped by parcel post as easily
as fruit, vegetables or poultry. This
is made possible by the invention OF
very efficient container which
keeps butter from spelling under any
ordinary changes OF temperature.
This container consists of double
jacketed, heat and moisture-proof box
Of pasteboard, with lining of wool
between the two Jackets for insula-
ton and top as nearly air-tight as
possible. Experiments last Summer
showed that butter put into box OF
this kind at temperature OF So de-
grees, on very hot night, and left
in warm room, showed an increase
Of only degrees in twelve hours.
Such container costs only 50 cents
and will last for several months, it
being returned empty by the con.
sumner after each shipment.
