NEARBY MARKET
IS USUALLY BEST
Canning Clubs Should Be Able to
Guarantee Packs Of Diff
ferent Products.
LABELS ON TIN CONTAINERS
A Necessary to Establish Reputation
for Reliability az to Have Prod
ucts Put Up AttractiveIy-
Cater to Needs Of Buyers

Well-stocked pantry shelves found
in so many American homes at the
end of the canning season have not
been enough in the way Of food saw
ing for many women and girls who
last year, especially through their or
ganized clubs, put up millions OF jars
and cans of fruits and vegetables In
response to the worlds need of food.
Although some Of this surplus
canned food, that the pantry shelves
would not hold, was sold on local mar
kets, and some of 1t was even shipped
to nearby points, here and there the
home Gamers found that 1t was hard
to sell the surplus. One Of the main
difficulties, as pointed out by the bu-
reau of markets, was that the home
canned products were not standard
ized, for many cases were found where
well-selected, carefully packed stand
ardized goods brought good prices to
the home Gamer.
Best Markets.
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractiveness OF, the pack and
containers affects its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers DO not
want a miscellaneous assortment or
products, ard 1t is better practice to
put different products in boxes by
themselves and not to mix containers
Of peaches and peppers, for example,
In the same lot when Offering them
for sale. Containers should be graded
as to size and quarts and plnts kept
separate. Labels are necessary on TIN
containers and help sell canned goods.
Where products are put up by mem
bers Of canning clubs under organized
supervision II is possible to guaran-
tee the pack Of the different products
rs to grade and weight Of measure.
This is a considerable aid In selling,
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he Is buying.
Pooling Products.
In case the products are pooled Tor
marketing, the different kinds Of fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
In graded-sized containers. when, per-
haps. the pack Of any one individual
might not be large enough to make
mp a quantity sufficient to attract
buyers. It is - necessary to estab-
Hsh a reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractively. The
marketing of home or club-canned
products can be made successful II
the Gamers will study the marketing
problem and cater to the needs Of buy
ers. When orders are secured In adj
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor to al the orders on
time and give the buyer the kind Of
products agreed upon.

Need More Poultry In 1918.

Care Of Young Horses.

Give the weanlings and immature
horses good care. The colts should
be given an ample supply Of grain and
good roughage in order that they may
mature into useful work horses. The
saving Of grain should be made with
the idle mature horse and not with
the colt. There are many economical
rations that can be fed to both young
and mature stock. depending on the
local feeds available. Write to your
state experiment station for informa-
ton regarding the most economical ra-
lions to be fed in your state. Also
write to the United States department

Church WORK
WILL AID IN
WINNING WAR

Boston, April 1.-THE work of the
church first, last and always is to.
throw its whole strength into win
ming the war. This was the keynote
of the 25th convention address de-
livered by the Ri. Rev. William Law
renee, bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Massachusetts,, at
Trinity church today.
There is no half way measure"
said Bishop Lawrence. eff we doubt
or deny the Righteousness of this
country in entering the war, then the
quicker we drop our arms the better;
we should be out of it, for it is a
horrible business. But if we believe
that justice, humanity and civil!za-
ton are at stake, if we know that it
is our duty to defend our country
from marauders, then our work is laid
out for us to fight with all our might.
Abstinence from alcoholic drinks
is as necessary for US as for the SOL
der. More than this, as the law pro-
hibits the sale of liquor to the SOL
der, why should it not prohibit the
sale to the civilian. If the prohibition
of drink is laid upon the soldier for
efficiency, it must also be laid upon us
all, else we are slackers. We have
a civilization to sustain as we'll as
to save"
