TO AID THE BIG AND
LITTLE FARMER

and carry away their purchases.
1t is manifestly unfair to make them
pay higher prices in order that some
one else may take advantage of the
so-called free delivery and free credit.
One of the first rules of a market,
therefore, should be that dealers will
not be permitted to grant credit or
deliver goods at the dealers expense.
The market manager should insist
to dealers in the market that the say
ings effected by them as compared
with outside dealers, by reason of the
lower rentals and the absence of de-
livery and credit expenses, should be
passed on to the consumer in lower
prices. because Of decreased oper-
ating expenses, dealers in the market
can sell at considerably reduced prices
and still make the same margin OF
net profit as the average storekeeqer.
AS a matter of fact, they can well at
ford to take a somewhat smaller a
gin of profit, since fair reduction of
, prices as compared with other com
p~etitors will attract more customers
and so will build up the volume of
, their business and increase the rapid
ity of their turnover. The result
will be that the aggregate net income
built from a large number of small
unit profits, together with saving in
waste of goods due to their rapid
movement, will be greater-and often
very much greater-than incomes
built by private "service" stores from
larger but fewer profits which are
subject to reduction from spoilage be-
cause of slow movement of goods.

exist. But public markets can not
bring lower prices unless the cost of
operation is less in them than else
where. This is largely the problem of
the market manager.
Give Manager Unhampered Field
The first essential to a successful
market is a competent, well-informed
ard progressive manager. A man
familiar with modern merchandising
methods should be procured even If
The salary asked is more that at first
seems necessary. No private CONNER
cial enterprise would think of placing
a plant in which 100000 or more has
been invested in charge of an incorm-
potent, poorly-paid manager. This
has been done, however, by some city
markets with very unsatisfactory re-
suits. Such a market has never
come up TO expectations and the COM
munity which it is intended to serve,
as well as many observers, have been
led rightly to question the worth OF
the whole municipal market idea.
The manager must have an un-
hampered field in which to work. In
addition to having satisfactory equip
ment he must make and endorse
strictly good, practical sanitary regu
lations governing the methods of do
ing business on the part of the deal
er5 in the market. To do this, he
must be given almost dictatorial pew

Der, though it should be reduced to
five or even to four if the yield of
corn is low. That is another matter
vance of turf g
that should be given thought in adj
vance of turning I'M the hogs, in
order that enough hogs may be on
hand to eat up all the corn, yet not
so many that they will exhaust it too
quickly.
One of Economical Systems
In some instances 1t IS advisable
that u part of the field he
taht a part of the field be set off by
a temporary fence and the hogs no.
allowed TO cover too much ground at
one time.
1t requires six hogs about 60 days
to eat the corn grown on an acre OF
good ground. 1t might become nee
essary to sell or kill them before the
work is finished. The temporary
fence, in such a case, would leave the
corn that the hogs had not consumed
still unchanged and it could be gath
cred in the usual way. A good
enough fence can be made by setting
anchor posts at the sides of the
field, stretching 25-inch woven wire
and tying it to the hills OF corn.
Brood sows with fall litters should
FnIouy fa++piDn boUc tO unthnr IN
what little corn has been left.
The hogging down of corn, proper
ly managed and combined, when feas-
IDLE, with hogging down rye and pas
turing clover, results in n of the
most economical and efficient of all
farm systems, according to the de-
partment experts.
The department does not stop at
advocating the harvesting OF corn
with hogs. 1t asserts that, under pre-
sent conditions, almost any kind OF
meat animals can be used to advan-
tage in harvesting practically any
crop. Both cattle and sheep can be
used in harvesting corn. Sheep make
particularly good use of corn with
peas or soy beans between the rows
or broadcast at the last cultivation,
The use of cattle for harvesting corn
!; succeeds we'll if some hogs aret urned
in later to clean up what the cattle
may have left on the ground.
Grass crops can be utilized to adj
vantage by. p~asturing with sheep, and
much less labor is required than wher
the crop is cut for hay. Beef steers
; consume large amounts of clover oil
alfalfa in the field and harvest the
crop rapidly, usually with good profit
The labor required is almost negllg,
IDLE. Dairy cows and young stocE
/, are also very effective in p%asturing
5 clover and alfalfa. Usually some care
, to prevent bloating is necessary whe1
. the cattle are first turned in.
A field of soy beans may be harry
, ested~. successfully with lambs. 1t no
: only affords abundant forage, but il
: free from the parasites common t.
permanent pastures. The soy-beal
l crop is usually desirable for hogs ant
