Those of us who looked contempt,h
ously on the humble rag picker gar
bage hunter and allied seekers after
something for nothing. should hereaft
tr regard these industrious workers
with something akin to- respect. for
they are harvesting golden returns
from q trade which has never paid toe
much and attracts only the poorest
among odr foreign denizens, says Wall
Street Journal. With the increasing
difficulty IN obtaining raw materials
for paper, the rag picker is selling his
collection at three and four times his
original return. The accumulatOr Of
empty tins, scrap iron and other gar
bage which we are in the habit of get
ting rid Of as rapidly as possible is
bringing an excellent return for his
work with a constantly Increasing
profit. If the demand for old rags
and iron Increases it is expected that
the nationality of the collectors will
change and we shall see more Amer
leans of Anglo-Saxon extraction en-.
gagged In the work at which they have
usually sneered. j, s~Esssgs!T''

HORSES ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Time Is Not Recalled When Farmer
Breeders Were SO Well Cleaned
Up on Draft Animals.

Like old wheat in the bin are good
draft horses Of salable age. Both are
ready money whenever the farmer
wants to cash them in. Reliable ad-
vices from all sections Of the horse
breeding country state that the time
is not recalled when farmer-breeders
were so we'll cleaned up on their mar
ket horses. nor at such satisfactory
prices to the producer.
It is highly significant that some Of
the big firms Of the cities are again in
evidence about the horse markets. The
man in the country who already enjoys
q ready market for the good ones
should prepare himself to supply .
still greater demand and at still more
remunerative figures.

The law requires that a quart berry
box shall have quart capacity, and
1t generally has, but it does not al.
ways hold quart of berries. This is
because It i. not completely filed, Thus
when you think that YOU are buying
a quart Of berries you are sometimes
not getting more than a pint and a
half. The grocers know this, and
some Of them explain that they do not
sell berries by the quart in boxes, but
by the box, which, of course, is an IN
definite quantity that probably was not
contemplated by the law, says Milwau-
kee Wisconsin. Thus once more it is
demonstrated that it is good deal
easier to get full measure laws than
it Is to get full measure. .....~z

Nothing equals cut clover for feed

but clover stands ut the head and IL
this is fed regularly and in moderate
quantities it will take the place Of
all other green feeds.
Wet versus dry mash Is question
that has received much attention from
experimenters during the past few
years. The general consensus Of
opinion at the present time is that the
dry mash is the most desirable. Many
practical poultrymen, however, still
prefer the wet mash. Labor is one Of
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, If
he can find d method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, It 10

that eggs produced by hens fed dry

COUNTRY STATION AGENT.

The country station agent has many
duties which make him busy man.
and he needs a little consideration
from his customers. He usually does
his best to satisfy the farmers with
whom he deals daily, in performing his
duties. Don't knock the station agent
IL he does not give you all Of his at

day besides taking care Of you, says
Drover's Journal. We are all human,
and If you treat him with considera'
tion his life will be more pleasant, and
undoubtedly he will feel more like put
ting himself out to satisfy your de-
mands. Don't ask him to do things fol

may violate rule to do something f0r

work of the station agent Is not under.

ed. Treat him with kindness and he
will do better work, indirectly helping
you. Many farmers lose their patience
with switching COW or q young horse
and one station agent said that he
believes they would acquire more OF
this habit IL they endeavored to con-
duct a country station. You may say
he is wrong, but give HIN the benefit
of the doubt. and remember that he

each day, so aim to make his work

ADVANCE MADE BY TRACTORS
Has Adjusted Itself So Quickly
TO Farm Conditions.

Probably no other line Of agricul-
tural machinery has made such mark
ed advance and adjustment to actual
farming conditions during the past few
years as have the tractors. It is now
possible to purchase tractors Of prac-
dcally any desired size, weight and
power, adapted to all classes of farm
ing, from the 80-acre field to the farm
or ranch comprising many thousand
acres. The price of the smaller ma
chimes is within reach of farmers of
moderate means, and it is, consequent
ly. in this direction that the greatest
Improvements are being scored.
