How old and gray the world would
grow, were it not for this glad and
tender-hearted, this child month of the
year! Coming at the close of a long
train of unfulflled hopes, of broken
resolutions. of undone duties-for such
is life to many-it lessons a little the
weight of care, and the burden of sor-
row, as the thoughts, so many months
of necessity turned inward, reach out
ward to humanity, and upward to God.
The generous heart expands to the
growth of kindly feeling; the religious
soul sees beyond all blessings from his
birth. AS the old, old story is conned
over in every land, in every tongue, as
the yule log and the holly, and the
Christmas cheer, glow and brighten
the dull December. day, there echoes
over all the matchless words, God
so loved. the world. And the world
takes up some part of the love and
lives it over and over again.

short notice. 1t makes a full-fledged
business man out of the otherwise
handicapped poultry farmer.
A farmer need not be an all-fruit,
all-vegetable, all-dairy or all-poultry
farmer to come in under the classifi-
cation Of those who need specialized
delivery. Being engaged in several
lines of specialized farming does not
keep a man from being a candidate
for specialized delivery.
No one need be surprised then to
observe an increase in the number of
motor trucks purchased for farm use.
AS the kind of materials marketed
change, the means of marketing will
differ. The more farmers who be-
come engaged in specialized farming
of any sort, the more farmer owners
of motor trucks will there become
What is more, motortruck delivery
holds as its grows. More than 80
per cent of all who take up motor
truck delivery keep it up and never
go back to the ways of their fore
fathers. The motor truck builds up
the very businesses which demand
it, and, therefore, becomes self
perpetuating species.

Specialized Delivery for Farm

pared to the advantages of city gaso-
line delivery, it is hard to see why
the city man beat his country brother
to the method. The man in town has
better streets and shorter hauls, yet
he was first to adopt motor truck de-
livery.
But the difference is fast disap-
pearing. Rural competition is In
creasing and ways and means for in

cost of delivery are becoming as pop
ular among the orchards, lettuce

ness.
The New Regime.
There appeared recently in the
Pennsylvania Farmer an account of
ono instance of motor marketing
which nicely illustrates the new re-
gime. s. l.. Kester, Of Clearfield
County, Pennsylvania, has used a
motor truck to his profit and con-
venience for two years in conveying
his produce from Homestead Farm to
market.
He produces fruit, berries, garden
products, butter and eggs" says the
account. "The products are carried
more safely and arrive in better con-
dition than when hauled in a market
wagon About one-third as much
time is spent on the road and one
team is dispensed with. Towns that
were practically out of reach by team
are within easy distance by motor
truck"
The writer prefaces his remarks
on Mr.. Kester's delivery success with
this statement: "The number Of
users of the motor truck for market
ing purposes is rapidly increasing and
their success bids fair to make this
method the popular one for convey
ing farm produce to market. AS a
saver of time and horses it is eco
nomical."
Economy Arguments.
And this is the age of all ages,
and the year Of all years, when econ

as the city merchant will listen to

will stand the test of profit and loss.

NNIONDER Is expressed by some
w that motor trucks are becom-

who are unfamiliar with present rural
conditions imagine that development
is peculiar to the city and that farm
ing conditions are the same yester-

1t is inevitable that as the nature

his old-fashioned methods Of delivery.
His motor truck enables him to rise
later in the morning and get to mar
ket at the customary time. 1t en-
ables him to gather his tender fruit,
such as berries and peaches, in the
cool of the day, and get 1t to market
or shipping point the same afternoon.
1t not only moves him up closer to
his customary market but puts him
within easy striking distance of other
markets.
These conditions apply with equal
force to the producer of truck and
garden vegetables. The motor truck
makes the raiser of radishes, green
peas and roasting ears master of his
early morning marketing. 1t lets
him get as much sleep as every man
deserves, and yet enables him to get
into market before it already is
glutted 1t makes him independent
of local buyers, and enables him to
go where he can get the best prices
and conditions. Furthermore, it en-
ables him to get there more easily,
quickly and economically
Every man who produces milk,
cream, butter, or cheese to any ex-
tent is, or soon will be, the owner of
a motor truck. 1t gives him the
power and speed necessary to make
quick deliveries in the cool of the day
and cover, if necessary, long dis
| tances. The motor truck as now
| built will travel over all kinds of
roads in all kinds of weather, and
will encounter any hill. The motor
truck has become an all-year propo-
sition and one which will relieve the
dairyman of the tortures of slow and
tiresome delivery.
Motor Truck on Farm to Stay.
The poultry farmer is a natural
