EVERGREENS APPEAR ON LOCAL MARKETS
ATTENTION TO DETAIL MEANS MORE PROFITS FOR FARMERS
Grocers Get Holly, Mistletoe and Cedars for Christmas Shoppers. Richmond grocers and produce dealers will have their stores decorated with holiday attire next week. Holly and mistletoe have already appeared, and large supplies of evergreen wreaths and ornamental ropes have been ordered. Christmas trees of all descriptions will appear early in the week at prices ranging from 50 cents up. Holly and mistletoe will sell from 15 to 20 cents a pound. Produce prices have not changed during the last week. The coming of severe cold weather has been effectual In bringing the sale of bulk apples and potatoes, to a close, and the offerings
now are all out of storage. There are almost no fresh eggs to be had, with the price to the consumer 40 cents a dozen. Butter demands from "5 to 38 cents a pound. All the stores are well stocked with fancy fruits and nuts at prices that are reasonable although certain varieties of Imported fruits and nuts will be missing. Produce prices are as follows: Onions, $1.50 bushel, Irish potatoes 65 to 70 cents a bushel, cauliflower 23 cents each, lettuce 20 cents pound, celery 5 tents a bunch, parsnips $1.00 bushel, turnips 60 cents bushel, mangoes 40 cents a dozen, apples $3 to $t a bushel, oranges 15 to 40 cents a dozen, grape fruit 5 to 10 cents each, lemons 20 to 30 cents a dozen, Malaga grapes 15 to 20 cents a pound, cranberries 10 cents a pound.
Stomach and Liver Troubles. No end of misery and actual suffering Is caused by disorders of the stomach and liver and may be avoided by the use of Chamberlain's Tablets. Hundreds have been permanently cured by them. For sale by all dealers. Adv.
BY A. O. COBB. When the temperature was near the zero mark this week, how many farmers were paying themselves a salary for the privilege of sitting down beside their cows twice a day and extracting a few pints of milk? There is no more blissful ignorance than that of the man who figures that he has raised the feed, and it has cost him nothing to get It; he owns the land, and hence there should be no interest against the investment; he receives cash daily or weekly from buter and milk sales, and is, therefore, making some ready money all the time. The only worry this man has is the fact that he never seems to get ahead, and he must always borrow money at the end of the year
to make both ends meet. Cows ot men who work on this theory have been tested in Wayne county. Teats Show Losses. A test conducted by the Indiana experiment station on one hundred herds of dairy cattle in the state, several years ago, showed that the aver
age buter fat production was about
150 pounds a year. At 30 cents a pound as an average price for butter fat, this meant a return of $45 to
which should be added about $5 for the value of skimmilk on the farm,
and the value of a calf. Under aver
age corn belt conditions it should cost
not less than ?u0 to keep a cow for a
year, so it can be readily seen that the profit was very small. In some
cases the annual loss on one cow was
found to be as much as $20.
It has been asserted time and time again that the reason more farmers
have not made their work profitable
BETTELON RETAINS CARD IN BAR UNION
On a technicality, Asa Bettelon, a North Ninth street saloon owner, won a replevin suit filed against him in justice court to have his union card taken from him. The bartenders union filed the suit which was tried yesterday. The card was represented as the property of the local union whereas it should have been stated as belonging to the national organization. The case will be re-tried in the same court after different papers are filed jind the complaint amended to state the true facts. The union men said Bettelton was in arrears in his dues and when union representatives asked him for the card he struck them.
JORDAN TO ADDRESS MEETING OF AGENTS
was due to the fact that they did not pay attention to details ; they take
too much for granted. Unless they check up on their work as they go
along, they cannot locate the factors
that bring about a loss or a gain in
their business at the end of the year.
Use Good Stock. A few good dairy cows will be a
source of profit on any farm, and will cost no more to keep than the same
number of poor animals. It is up to the owner to know which kind he has.
It will pay any man with four or
five cows, to purchase a pair of milk
scales and a Babcock tester, and keep
a record of the production of his cows
for a year. The equipment will cost about $8 and this price will be more than saved if one cow Is found who is
not paying her way. It takes but a moment to weigh the milk, and the butter fat test need not be given more than once a week or even once a month. The test Is so simple that a child can do the work. In addition to this the cost of feed should be estimated, and this is also simple, figuring the materials tit market price. When the cost of the amount for one day is figured, it will not be necessary to repeat the process as long as the same ration Is fed. A little experimental work conducted at odd times will sometimes show that greater production can be obtained from some of the animals by increasing or decreasing certain feeds. If the farmer will pay the same attention to this phase of his business, that the manufacturer pays to the details of his production, his profits will grow accordingly.
C. W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club has been asked by T. A. Coleman, head of the county agents of Indiana, to Bpeak at the first meeting of its kind In the state, an annual round-up of agricultural work as conducted by the county agent at Princeton, Ind. Mr. Coleman said the subjects would be broadly handled. He asked Mr. Jordan to take one of two chief addresses. This relates to the business relations of bankers, merchants, financiers, manufacturers and farmers. The idea is to show that the farmer should not eb advised to put his money in stocks and bonds, but should devote it
to developing the live stock of the state, not for the immediate profit, but
for results which will be achieved
ten or fifteen years in all lines farm work.

"I've came here to submit my facts, and I have a right to know what, if anything, the committee disputes," replied Gardner. "If this is to go on I shall insist that these hearings close," said Gray. "Of course," sarcastically retorted Mr. Gardner, "those are the orders that have gone out from the white house orders to suppress anything
that looks like an investigation."
