Graduate of the two best auction schools in the world. President of the Missouri State and Vice-President of the International auctioneers associations. Made 143 sales the past season, in 8 different counties, I cover more territory than all the auctioneers in Bates county combined, and can give your sale bills a wider circulation. If you had a member of your family very sick, or if you had a case in court where all your savings were at stake, would you hire an old quack doctor to attend their wants? or an-old petty- fogging lawyer to look after your interests? No, you would cer- tainly employ the best physician or the best attorney available. The same rule should hold good in the hiring of an auctioneer, as he is your agent on sale day and you have little to say asto how your earnings shall be disposed of. It always pays to hire the best.

Serving on a jury isn’t hard work, but it does disclose the fact that there are lots of stubborn men in the world. The last time I was on a jury there were eleven stubborn men, and they wouldn’t agree with me, so we had to report ‘“‘no verdict.” Some ofjthese new-styled conund- rums the young folks are springing nowadays are certain silly.

Secretary of the Missouri Board of pryieth genes 4 Railroad and Warehouse commission- There are a great many agricultural = problems that have been solved for all time, even though our experiment stations are still pegging away on them. I will simply point out one of these. It is an absolute fact that you can always make cheaper gains in fat- tening hogs if you use some by-prod- uct like oil meal, tankage or mid- dlings along with corn than you can ers. Dear Sir:—The Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners of Missouri now have before them the question of the advisibility of adopt- ing uniform rules for grading grain similar to the rules in vogue in near- ly all the large markets of the coun- try, with special reference:to fixiug a with pure corn.“ A. bulletin publish- ata ae be Bf seasons of the year comes in com- petition with Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and Indian ‘“Red’’ wheat, to the det- riment of the latter. In order that the Commissioners may have the fullest information pos- sible formal hearing of the above matter will be held at the Baltimore Hotel, Kansas City Mo., Monday, No- vember 29th, 1909, 10 o'clock a. m., at which it is desired that representa- tives of all the milling and grain in- terests be in attendance. The above matter is important to farmers, the grain producers of the State, and if you care to give it gen- eral circulation through the columns of your paper the Commissioners wish to say that everybody will be welcome and they will be more pleas- ed the more the people of the State join with them in securing action which will be of the greatest benefit to all concerned. Thanking you for whatever disposition you may make, Exasperating But if you want to be on time at your work, there is just one thing for you to do—get one of our Long Alarm Clocks and be sure to wind it. You may ‘‘cuss’’ inthe morning but you will be thankful when pay day comes around ; no time lost. gains practically for two-thirds of the price of making them with straight corn, The owner of a large city dray line told me the other day that he did not believe electricity or gasoline would ever take the place of the draft horse for heavy drayage purpose in our cities. I do not know of another instance where a given expenditure of money will give so much satisfaction as an investment in a few good farm gates. A man has no idea how often he opens and shuts his gates until they get out of order, then he begins to feel that he is spending most of his time performing that humble task. They say that the average yield of the potato crop in this country is ninety-seven bushels per acre, while in Germany the average is 260 bush- els per acre. We haven't the facts Watch t N. B.
