fly better than the average Unfortu-
nateiy, it often happens that good
dairy products do not always find .
good market This does not prove,
however, that there is not a demand
for the product at . good price; It
simply means q lack Of knowledge Of

Queer. Also, the dairynaA Is too Of
ten Inclined to depend upon his homo

fty for a market for his products in
stead OF looking for better prices else
where.
In this day of the parcel post even
perishable products can be sent great
distances for a few cents. thereby
making it possible to sell such prod.
ucts as butter, cheese, etc. direct
from the farm to the consumer.
There are hundreds OF people in our
towns and cities who would be glad
to get dairy products direct from the
farm il the farmers would put up
good, uniform products and deliver
regularly.
Any one who is making dairy prod.
ucts for the market should give the
business his close attention. Not only
should he understand the best meth.
DDS of making his products uniform
but he should also study marketing
methods. For instance, 1t is the Gus.

butter into round rolls varying in size
from one to one and a half pounds

wrapped in parchment paper to hold

No Place For The Sleepy.

Never more than at the present
time, was it necessary for the real
estate dealer to be alive and awake
to what is going on around him.
He is confronted with problems
that were unthought of by his
grandfather and only dimly sensed
by his father.
Success in the business world
today comes to the man who takes
full advantage of the opportunities
that are before him. This must
be done actively. not passively.
The time is past, nevertO return,
when real estate dealer could sit
in his Office and wait for trade to
come to him.
In this day and age, he must 60
out after business progressively
The other fellow is doing it and
unless you also do it, you will be
distanced in the race.
The self-satisfied man, the man
who will not learn and the man
who is asleep at the switch will
alike be relegated to the industrial
scrap heap of the bankruptcy cour'
or the office of the trustee.

reach of every dealer to improve
himself, to learn new methods
