commissions and the additional freight,
left me 55 cents bushel.
Naturally this took all the fight out
of me and the rest of our crop was
marketed through the jobhers. The
total sales for the 5000 bushels were
$4,000. But these apples cost the
consumer more than $4,000.

retail market price was more than 81.
We also sent circulars to the people
whose names appeared in the tele-
phone books. AS result of this cam
paign we sold less than 600 bushels,
which did not pay for the cost of the
advertising. Evidently the housewife
! is not anxious to save money, or else
she has little faith.
Since then we are going on raising
the best apples we know how to pro-
duce. We prune and pillow and fer
tilize. We spray carefully. We pick
by hand with the utmost solicitude.
Our apples are large and free from
bitter rot and other blemishes.
But we sell them through the job
bers, and we receive an average OF
So busnel even now with the prevail
ing high prices, and these same apples
cost the retail dealers twice that sum.
The difference goes into the rapacious
and nevef-Satiated nav of the men

sell it or to put any real value into it;
but who live on the efforts of the other

It You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it ia that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, 81 like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

this extraordinary behavior. My first
inquiries were unsuccessful, the deal

found an old German who was will

iobbers of the city had sent an agent
them that if they took my apples as
agreed, the jobbers would refuse them
further "courtesies''-which meant
they could buy no more fruit from
the regular wholesale dealers. In self
protection, therefore, the retailers had
to decline my shipments. The one who
had dared to disobey this drastic or

Upon the suggestion of the state
board of agriculture secured the serv-

from the college of agriculture, where
he had spent four years in studying
fruit raising particularly apples. He
came to the farm in January and

him from the start. To watch him
prune the trees was an inspiration. He
took the utmost care not to infect
one tree from another. using aseptic
solutions with his tools. He cut the
trees till I feared there would be lit
tie left. But most of all to be adj
mired was his method of determining
when and how to spray. From the
various trees he cut cultures which he
forced to grow in fruit Jars, and
watched them for the development of
the various kinds of diseases. With
this knowledge he set his time for
spraying, and mixed his ingredients to
fit the special cases.
The result was astounding; that very
year we harvested more than 5000
bushels of apples, and more than three
fourths of them were of first grade.
