BUYING BY GUESS AND
SELLING BY STANDARD

About everything that farmer
sells is sold on basis of quality. The
farmers grain is graded, his stock is
graded and examined as to health. his
milk is tested for butter fat content. In
fact, almost everything tnat he sells is
measured by some standard which
protects his customer. Quality has
come to hold paramount place in
almost every industry, but when a
farmer goes to buy, what happens!
Does he buy for standard?
Generally, he buys almost every
thing from matches to dairy COWS
by guess, which no DOUBT accounts for
the fact that there are large num-
ber of cows in our dairy herds that
have long ago proved themselves un-
profitable investments.
Progressive dairymen appreciate
the value Of quality in a dairy COW,
just the same as the housewife has
come to recognize quality in the but
ter which he produces. A dairy cow
may be good looking, but the butter
fat which she produces is what regu-
lates the size of the dairyman's cream
check.

Pleads for Square Deal

Editor Press:
The best news the housewives of
Fl Centro have received during this
glad Christmas season is the an
ncuncement that their big brothers of
the Chamber of Commerce are inter
ested in the gas proposition.
1t is unthinkable that a city the size
and pretensions of FL Centre will long
be satisfied with coal oil as fuel for
domestic purposes. Gas is especially
essential IN this hot climate, but no
modern city of any consideration
would think of doing without it. No
other fuel compares with it in cost
and convenience, and we simply must
lave it. . On the face of the report
ct the expert gas engineer employed
by the city council. the pending prop
osition looked like quick and salts
factory solution of the present diff
Guilty. One hundred thousand dollars
or less for "a gas plant is not much
when based en- an assessed valuation
such as that of FL Centre. Overhead
expenses under city control would be
low and the consumer could be sup
piled at cost not much if any higher
than coal Gil. Indeed, if one counts
the extra time it takes the home cook
to p1epare the family meals, the wear
nd tear on her nerves, the discom-
fort, tie cost of frequent wall tinting,
aav wicKs for the stove, etc, the bal
!ace will be altogether in favor of the
cas-.
All the facts should be made avail
able. Let the question be passed upon
