The modern farmhouse is follow
ing at some distance the modern dairy
barn.
The pioneering stage in human
housing is prolonged beyond the
pioneering stage in animal and crop
housing.
Fortunately, however, the American
farmer, if present evidences are not
misleading, is just emerging from the
pioneer stage of his family housing
problem and stands ready to apply
his own Well-known housing principles
to the human animals and the human
lied products of the farm. At this
point the farmer is saying to himself,
or. perhaps, the farmWife is saying to
herself: "NOw, what values belonging
to the family do we wish to foster
and protect in a housing plan?'
When the American farm man and
woman have given their answer in
full to this question, | am quite sure
they will conclude that for the sake
Of the human spirit in the farm home
the farmhouse must be detached from
the constant invasion Of the work side
Of farming. To humanize the farm
house and it's setting, almost the first
step will be this detaching or de
occupatiOnalizing" process.

Wooden Shoes and Automobiles.

At first thought there seems to be
no relation between wooden shoes and
automobiles. But one never can tell
these days. Wooden shoes play an
important part in auto building; in
deed they probably reduce the cost Of
autos by six and three-tenths cents
each-if figured out by an efficiency
expert.
At first the auto companies provided
high rubber boots for the men who did
the work; but they soon found, says
the Scientific American Monthly, that
soap and rubber did not agree, and
that the bill for rubber boots was
quite an item. And when the war
came on, and the price Of rubber
scared, indeed, it became quite APP
palling.
So some bright young man got lot
Of wooden sabots-brought from Hol-
land or somewhere for actors-and
tried them out. The workmen stuffed
paper tightly in around their feet and
encircled their legs with pieces of old
slickers and found that the result was
very satisfactory when worn with the
usual apron.

Weather Affects Prices.

Which hinder the free operation OF tint,
law of supply and demand.
Weather Affects Prices.
Besides such Instructions there are
natural influences which affect the
price of farm products by either in
creasing or decreasing their supply.
Among these are abnormal weather
conditions, which are liable to upset
the normal state of the market. Thus
the drop in prices of eggs since Janu-
airy Is was mostly due to a mild win
ter which favored a heavy wintN lay
and which has resulted in a much
earlier season than is normally ex-
pected.
On the other hand, even if all the
conditions are normal, the market may
be upset by the fact that farmers are
liable to be tempted by the high price
. of product and rush in and greatly
increase it's supply, which will natu-
rally decrease it's price.
Should Study Markets.
The facts discussed above show that
the price of commodities is largely in
f1uenced by factors which it is outside
of anyOne's reach to control. Tt is true
that in few cases it is possible to
eliminate to some extent certain OBJ
StructiOnS which hinder the smooth
operations of the law of supply and
demand. It is within our power to
eliminate the undesirable kind Of
speculation and the waste and unnec-
essary expense of the present SYSTEM
of distribution. On the other hand, it
is outside of our power to change the
price or to change the natural tenden-
~ to increase the supply of a product
when it's price rs high
These uncomfortable influences
make it impossible to figure the price
Of farm products on the basis of cost
Of production. The latter may be high
at times, but if outside conditions are
such as to flood the market prices will
necessarily fall down regardless of
what it costs to produce a given prod
uct. Farmers would do we'll to keep
Informed about market conditions, to
try to foresee possible fluctuations of
prices and to regulate their produc-
ton and marketing accordingly. This
is a business policy which is followed
by the great majority of our manufac-
turers and business men and which
enables them to prevent, in many
cases, losses due to the sudden changes
Of the market.

ISLE OF ROMANCE
Monte CriSt0 Famed in History
and Legend.
Rumor That Ex-President Wilson
Would Make His Home There
Awakened Worlds Interest.

Newspaper reports to the effect
that eX-Presidente Wilson had bought
the island of Monte Cristo in the
Tuscan archipelago, as the home for
his retirement, caused the Rome
EpOca to publish an interesting ac-
count of this romantic island, six
miles square, which the elder Dumas
assigned as Il title to the hero of his
famous novel, The Count of Monte
CriStO." EX-PreSident Wilson, says
the Rome correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Post in summarizing the
EpOca story, even had he so wished,
could not have purchased the island,
which is the property of the Italian
state, and has been for many years
leased by the king of Italy.
In the quiet days before the war,
Victor Emmanuel III and Queen Elena
used to pass some of their happicSt
hours at Monte Cristo, far from the
cares of state and not near the Italian
peninsula-fOr Monte Cristo is by no
means easily accessible. Before the
king, that we'll known sportsman and
AlpiniSt, the MarcheSe Carlo GinOri,
was tenant of the island, which he
acquired in 1889, and on which he
spent during his tenancy large sums.
Before his time Monte CriStO became,
liz 1875, an agricultural colony, de-
pendent upon the penal settlement of
the neighboring island of Pianosa, the
nEil Of
son of Augustus, who, as Tacitus mar
rates, was there put to death on the
accession of TiberiuS. Earlier still,
between 1860 and 1875, Monte Cristo
was the abode of strange visionary,
Davide Lazzaretti, who lived in cave
and fancied that, like st. Francis of
Assist, he had received the stigmata
Shortly after the middle of the last
century an EngliShman named Taylor
leased the island, laid out gardens and
constructed ponds, till he, too, disap-
peared from it's history. At that time,
before the union of Italy, Monte Cristo
was the property of the grand duchy
of Tuscany, which, in 1850, had sent
four soldiers and corporal thither
from Elba, whose successor was GER
tain M. Abriel a Frenchman in bust
ness at LeghOrn. In AbriePs time the
population rose to eleven, and the two
buildings were erected which form
the nucleus of the present royal shoot
ing box.
For centuries before 1850 the island
was forgotten by all save Dumas and
his readers, most of whom probably
knew not where it was or whether it
really existed. But there was q
CamalduleSian monastery there in the
Thirteenth century, of which the ruins
still remain, an evidence of the piracy
then prevalent in the Mediterranean.
Once, in 1241, Monte CristO's white
conical rock appeared in world his
tory, giving it's name to the naval bat
tie fought in it's waters between the
fleet of the Emperor Frederick III and
the Genoese ships carrying more than
100 cardinals and other high dignita-
ries of the chufch to take part In the
council convened by Pope Gregory TX
in Rome. The imperial admiral won,
and carried off his prisoners to Naples
and Sicily.

OBSTRUCT SUPPLY
AND DEMAND LAW
Spectators Have Often Held
Products to Await Peak
Demands.
BY w. kIRSCA,
Wisconsin Division of Markets.

Farmers are beginning to realize
that there are certain forces working
in a market and that the understand
ing of how these forces work is nee
essary to enable the farmer to i'm
prove his way of doing business. In
stead of blaming the dealer or the
consumer for low prices, and passing
the buck to them for unfair" and
unjust" prices, they are coming to
see that they must work out their own
salvation, and they want to know why
it is that the market is SO congenial to
them at one time and so very disap-
pointing at another time.
The fundamental force which works
On the market and which determines
prices is the law of supply and de-
mand, which means that when the de-
mand is large and the supply small
the prices will be high, and when the
demand is small and the supply is
large the prices will be low. The price
which results from free operation of
the law of supply and demand is
called a just and fair price
When Speculation Hurts.
The law of supply and demand does
not always operate to suit us, how
ever. Sometimes the reason for this
is that some spectators get hold of
large quantities Of supplies and hold
them in storage and warehouses. By
withdrawing these supplies from the
market these spectators cause an in
crease in prices and when prices have
reached high peak they put On the
market the supplies which they were
Withholding
High prices of this kind are neither
just nor fair, as in this case there is
plentiful supply, but it is withheld
from the market by spectators. These
spectators manipulate the law Of
supply and demand at their will and
their action is an obstruction to the
free operation of this law.
Distribution System Wasteful.
Another serious obstruction to the
smooth working of the law of supply
and demand is the waste and unneces-
sary expense involved in our system
of distribution and which is mainly
due to the lack of transportation IA
cilities, lack of storage and ware
houses and to the existence of too
many middlemen in certain lines of
trade. The extra expense which is
connected with the inefficiency of our
system of distribution reduces the
price for the producer while increas-
ing it for the consumer, regardless of
supply and demand
This kind of obstruction can be re-
moved gradually by the introduction
of better marketing methods. II
should be mentioned in this connec-
ton that the chief purpose of the
work of the division of markets is to
introduce methods of marketing
which will eliminate speculation, re-
nuce the expenses of distribution and
remove other artificial Instructions
