Many agricultural towns could be

sstly Improved by affording fanners better markets for the produce that they hsve to dliose of. hi the radius of every country village there Is sufficient butter snd eggs and other products to be marketed, the handling of which would make s profitable busiuess The custom that has prevailed for many years of storekeepers Indiscriminately handling produce does not appear to be to the best Interests of towns or It may be said, to the merchants or the farmers. In the first place the average storekeeper haa no facilities for the proper handling; of perishable products. He may not receive sufficient to enable him to dispose of the product to the greatest advantage. Therefore Instead of making any profit upon what he handles, many times he Is the loser and looks for his compensation in the trade that may be given him by the farmers who bring In the produce. It is important to t town whether It is reputed to be a good produce market or otherwise. Where tho farmer can receive a cent or two more for his butter and eggs he Is

likely to turn his attention. In some

towns mere are regular buyers of produce, but often these methods are such as to be unsatisfactory and result in loss of trade to the place. Merchants generally exchange goods for whatever produce may be brought

to them. In many places they sill

not pay cash, and It has been known

where cash has been paid that it Im

mediately found Its way to some other

town where goods was purchased. Kach town that has any considerable patronage from the farming community surrounding It. should have a small cold storage plant. One plan that has been found practicable in

In Its annual report this Committee said: "To meet the growing demands of the movement, however, particulsrly If the work of active participation in State legislation is undertaken, a larger clerical force must be eAployed" This is almost the first time in the history of the United States that any organized class has frankly avowed the purpose of capturing legislatures and dominating legislation in their

own selfish interests. The American Medical Association has about 65.H0O members of whom 27.0ÖO i.re fully constituted members" and the rest are members bocause of their affiliation with state or local societies. The Association owns real estate in Chicago valued at 1111,7M Sri and its total assets are 1291,Nl 89. Its liabilities, at the time of the annual report which was made at the June meeting, amounted to only $21.906. The excess of assets over liabilities is increasing at the rate of about I , v 00 a year, and the purpose of the organization Is to dominate the field of medicine, and by crushing sll competitions by securing the pas

The bard from the city had sold sufficient verses to spend a week in a rural boarding house. Waving off the swarms of June bugs and mosquitoes, the bard sat penning his lines by tha yellow Hjrht of a kerosene lamp. "How I love this madrigal!" ha mused to himself. The horny handed farmer, who sat greasing his boots, looked up In surprise. "Graeious!" be drawled. "Where Is she?" "Who?" asked the astonished bard. "Why, the gal yeou Just said yeoo loved."

sometimes Include a butter renovating plant. Where such companies are operated the merchants refuse to handle produce, referring all who have such to sell to the produce company. The company pays the highest mar ket price for what It bugs. Instead of paying cash, due bills are Issued which are accepted the same as cash st all the stores In town. Each week the merchants who receive these due bills In exchange for goods have them cashed at the office of the produce company. By paying from a cent to two cents a dosen more for eggs or per pound for butter these produce companies have been wonderful factors In brin ing trade to the place Not alone do they benefit the town by bringing ad dltioual patronage to the merchants, but the business can be highly profit able If managed rightly. It requires but little capital to operate ich an

establishment. It is well when organ ization is taken up to limit

amount of stock that each shareholder receives to one or two shares of a par value of $50 or $100. An effort should be made to have as many mer

Also to secure as many shareholders among the farmers as can as had It should be understood that Instead of paying cash, farmers pay for their shares of stock in produce at prevailing mar ket prices. With all the merchants In the town interested In the sue cess of the company, and the fsrmers throughout the country also shareholders and participants In profits that may be made, It will be soon found thst the produce company will be hsndllng sll the produce biwiness that originates In the community In many localities whore this plan has been put In operation the farmers have discovered that they could receive better prices for their butter and cream and eggs than -..der the old system.
