rather than to force your own ideas
as TO what the trade ought to con-
sumo.
3. Make regular shipments. Instead
of making the city commission district
the dumping ground for what your To-
cal dealers will not buy, keep your
city agent regularly supplied with
what his trade will take, thereby help
ing him stabilize the business in which
you are both concerned.
4. Keep each other informed. Early
in the shipping seaso the farmer
should give his agent a careful estl-
mate of what may be expected, and
no material changes in the quantity
Of the regular shipment should be
made, unless prompt notice is given
the agent in order that he may secure
purchasers In case Of increase or
arrange to care for his regular Gus
toners if shipments will not meet re-
quirements. Successful shippers make
frequent use of the telegraph or long
distance telephone to keep agents
posted as TO changes in shipments.
The agent should also be expected to
keep the shipper Informed as to any
changes in the requirements Of the
market.
5. Avoid frequent changes in agents.
Some shippers prefer to divide their
shipments each day among numerous
commission merchants in the same
market. While it may be wise under
certain conditions to check one agent
by the sales Of another the most sue
cessful consignor seems to be the one
who selects an agent with great care
and then sticks to him, cooperating
with him in every possible way and
carefully s~crutinizing all settlements.
The honest agent is glad to do his part
in such teamwork" and welcomes the
most ~eXacting examination Of his
methods.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t Is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
80 successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Soy beans make frst-rate hay, and

The tractor Is releasing more and
more feed for milk and meat animals.
The growing Of sweet clover Is very
little different from the growing Of red

Peas require a cool climate and
plenty OF moisture for their best de

Sweet corn Is very susceptible to
weather conditions, particularly the

The extra labor required to keep
weeds under control Is probably the
greatest economic loss which they

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thln people teshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved Ines OF health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
10 starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
That Will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee Of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
eSsary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease In weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase IN weight also carries with II
a general Improvement IN the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom OF perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
s!eeplessness and general weakness, IL
should not, owing to It's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

" ISpalSu ny IN ~ SldNSS I'SAhAN
ment Of AgricuIture.)
Many farmers who have consigned
products TO commission merchants
have experienced trouble ut one time
or another and have accused the mid
dleman with unfair dealings. In some
cases, perhaps too often, there have
been betrayals Of trust on the part of
city dealers, but all the shortcomings
attributed to the commission business
are not the fault of the merchant. In
all contracts between producers and
their agents, the commission men, each
party has certain rights and certain
duties and unless one of the parties
performs oil of his duties he has no
right to blame the other party for
failure to secure the best results, says
the United States department Of agri-
culture.
An example of how the commission
merchant is sometimes falsely accused
is told by q bureau Of markets special
ist who, early In his farming expert
ence made frequent use Of these mer-
chants as a medium Of marketing farm
products. Many Of his consignment
deals were disappointing, he says, and
1t was easy to drop to the ranks Of
those who condemn before they in
vestigate. Among the berries he pro-
duced were a few Of such attractive
appearance and appetizing flavor that
1t vas natural to believe that ship
ment Of such fruit to the city market
ought to be profitable. Imagine his
surprise and indignation when his first
shipment Of these superior berries was
reported as undesirable" and soft"
and leaking" He determined to in
vestigate, made another shipment, and
arranged 10 be present, though un-
known, when the. sale was made. He
was able 10 identify his berries in the
city market by a stencil number on
each crate. He was astonished TO
learn that, however fine the berries
might have been when eaten fresh
from the field, they were so soft and
tender that they could not reach the
market in attractive condition. The
commission man could not be blamed
for the unfavorable sales which re-
suited and this experience taught the
grower to raise varieties that were
not only good but which would carry
well.
