Peddling farm produce from "side-
door Pullmans" is a market outlet
which some producers have followed,
as, by accompanying a car of their
produce on the road and selling direct
ly from the car door to dealers and
consumers in a number of small towns,
they realize remunerative return from
their marketing operations. In most
of the places where this method of
"car peddling" is practiced the pro-
ducers TAX out a license from the
authorities which gives them tempo
rary selling privileges. such licenses
costing from $40 to s25 apiece. This
system of s~elf-service craftsmanship Is
applicable only In regions where the
growers have no cooperative associa-
ton. 1t would be extremely unwise
for the individual producer to go on
the road in active competition with
an extensive selling organization.
Cut In Profits.
The growers also must bear In mind
the fact, although the returns from
this method of selling at first may ap-
pear large. they will be cut down to a
great extent by his expenses, the time
consumed, and the consequent neglect
OF his regular business. This practice
may result also in lowering wholesale
prices, inasmuch as the grower may
be anxious to get away and may sell
at figures which the regular dealers
would not accept. Car peddling is

DRYING UP COWS neglected
Some Animals Inclined to Keep Up
Heavy Milk Flow Until calvino
Time-Care Is Needed.

Some cows are inclined to keep up
the heavy milk flow until calving
time, and the dairyman is apt to neg
lect drying them up. Some cows dry
themselves while others must be dried
up by the mixer. Care must be taken
or the udder will be injured. The
best practice is to cut off the grain
feed, giving no grain at all, and in
some cases giving less of other feeds.
The COW should be MIXED only once
a day for a few days. and then the
period heightened until only once in
four or five days. This should be
kept up until the flow has entirely
ceased.

Home builders more and more are
selecting bungalow designs for their
new dwellings. There are so many fine
things about a bungalow that they ap-
peal to the family. especially the
women members, that intends to build.
There is combined exterior beauty with
convenience, the rooms being all on
n floor, making the work Of caring
for the home less arduous, as there
are no stairs to climb. And modern
efficiency demands that only rooms
that are to be used daily be put into a
home.
Here is shown a bungalow of rare
beauty. 1t has not the squat" effect
that so many bungalows have, and the
gable roof gives space for an ample

The report of the joint congression-

saving of eight cents per ton mile can
be effected in transportation costs
when a road Is lifted from the dirt to
