ACTUAL COST OF MARKETING
No Other Product Of Farm 10 Market.
ed At Lower Percentage Of Its
Value Than 10 Live Stock.

The actual cost of marketing live
stock does not vary much from year to
year. but the percentage Of cost
changes constantly according to the
price Of the stock. Freight. yardage.
feed and commissions change little
and are the same on cheap stock as on
dear. Just now no other product Of
the farm Is marketed at a lower per-
centage Of Its value than Ia good live
stock Recently we took from the
books OF commission house at the
Pittsburgh stock yards a number OF
accounts sales to ascertain what per-
centage Of the price was required to
market the stock. says the Baltimore
American. The cost Of marketing Ohio
cattle ranged from 2.08 to 5.2S per
cent. while Kentucky and Michigan
cattle of the same grades cost more
and Pennsylvania cattle less, accord.
ing to the freight charges. The cost
of marketing Ohio hogs ranged from
2.40 to 4.15 per cent, while Indiana
hogs cost more and nearby hogs less.
Sheep we're cheaper then. and the per-
centage ran higher, from 3.64 on some
Pennsylvania sheep up to nine per
cent. on some Ohio stock. The better
the stock and the higher the price the
lower the percentage Of cost. One
other consideration in this is that the
marketing OF the live stock included
the cost Of selling many tons Of hay
and bushels Of grain. Counting these
in 1t is evident that the cheapest way
to market such products Is by the live
stock route. and the better the stock
the cheaper the marketing is done.

But in direct contrast there are
other farm homes supported by dairy
herds paying large profits, where the
enthusiasm Of the father has spread
to the children.
Surrounding these homes are neatly
moved lawns with flowers. trees and
vines around the painted and we'll

for the home comforts.
Here the question Of how to keep
boys on the farm never arises. Higher
civilization costs something; the
dairyman must increase his earning

SMALL FARMER IS VALUABLE
Contribution Of the Man Of Few Acres
to the Nations Resources 10 Of
inestlmahis Value.


The small farmer usually grossly
under rates his true worth and use
fulness In the community. You will
often hear him speak disparagingly Of
his opportunity to service. because Of
his limitations. What can his few
acres do toward feeding the vast pop
ulation Of the country, he argues.
until he comes to look upon his labor
as valueless In any large sense.
Now. 1t must be admitted that we
are accustomed to make q great deal
OF talk about the vast wheat and corn
fields of the west. and to refer to them
as the source of the nations food
supply. In such q manner as to imply
that they are our only food source.
But we misrepresent the true situa-
ton II we overlook the fact that there
Is also the small farmer, whose con-
tribution to our resources is Of In
estimable value.
II the national census should dis
close the proportioi Of food stufs
coming altogether from the small
farm. the result would astonish u.
As an illustration OF this fact the
reader has but to recall that at the
recent convention of the nations meat
packers 1t was urged that every farm
er In the country raise two or three
head Of cattle each. yearly, as solu-
ton Of the problem Of the threatening
beef famine. And It was an excellent
suggestion. too, one which would
quickly afford a remedy II put into
practice. II the great cattle ranges
OF the far west are to be cut up into
farms. what should prevent individual
owners from continuing to raise stock!
Every producer is part Of the
national capital Men are themselves
capital. and that country Is rich one
which has many men, all Of them pro
ducers.
A country may have an unlimited
acreage OF the richest soil. but unless
1t has also men who cultivate 1t, 1t Is
valueless; and the greater the number
of persons laboring on the soil. the
greater the total product
Political science has long sought to
emphasize the importance Of the labor
of the individual. no matter how OBJ
scure his station. as being the unit Of
wealth. and 1t has constantly cham
pioned the small farmer as q mighty
factor In the advance Of the race. His
part is an important one. and he
should perform 1t we'll.
The introduction Of the potato into
Ireland In 1910 revolutionized the
problem Of providing subsistence for
Its peasantry; while the scourge Of
the potato rot which followed some
years afterward resulted In famine.
So success with one vegetable meant
prosperity or poverty to that country;
yet there were none but small farmers
cultivating It there. Similarly, the
welfare OF any country rests in no
small degree upon the diligence Of the
average farmer.

JULIA BoTToMLEY.

Of the fittest in blouses for daily wear,
Very narrow insertions, very narrow
tucks, and sparing use OF fine en-
broidery mark the best Of these
waists. They are exceptionally re.
fined looking. 1t is a mistake to Sc
lect wide laces and big patterns in
embroidery for blouses.
The panel at the center of the front
Is section cut from wide fiouncing.
Short lengths Of fine fiouncings are to
be had very cheap In price. Panels cut
from them are easily set in because of
the narrow Insertions.
One OF the strong points among the
virtues Of these waists is the ease with
which they may be washed and
ironed. For travelling 1t is best to make
them with separate collars, because
the collars become solled after a days
wear, while the waist win stand three
days.
Collars of all-over lace, or OF valen.
ciennes or Cluny insertions or Gro
cheted In one piece, made separately
and boned or wired. may be washed
and worn without ironing. It is easy
to smooth the lace with the finger
Just before the collar is entirely dry.
They fit snugly about the neck. Thi.
is convenience the tourist will ap.
preciate. 1t Is troublesome to carry
