produces and we reach those that
consume and we bring in the dollars
from over the mountains.
OUR PROFITS.

on sales, If we can earn that much.
Should we earn more than 8 per
cent. on sales, this surplus earning
is returned to our producer stock
holders, holding stock in the COM
pany at the rate of one share, par
value $40, for every two cows MIXED,
in proportion to the amount Of milk,
cream, eggs and poultry they sell

on cheese and nine-tenths OF cent
per dozen on eggs.

Bordeaux Mixture Stains.

Bordeaux mixture used in spraying
will sometimes stain fruit. 1t has been
found that dipping the fruit or vege-
tables stained in a simple solution of
pure acetic acid, in the proportion Of
half cupful to two gallons Of water,
removes the status. Running water is
then used to wash of the acetates thus
formed.

Soy Beans For FORAGE.

The soy bean may be grown through
out the humid and semihumid sections
Of the south and in the southern por-
ton of the corn belt. 1t is a very valu-
able forage crop and promises to be
very useful in many boil weevil re-
gions as a cash crop and a source of
oil seed for the oil mills.

able houses in large numbers may be found for rent

of small moderate means live, year after year, in

So they bought a tent and q

They put their few remaining

started for the nearest town.
