WORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1915 FARMER TO FARMERS (Written Specially for The Bullein.) ‘ways of disposing ries and garden truck, et One way is to sell.the professional buyers, men Wwho travel about the country pickdng up anything and ev- erything they can get cheaply enough. These men, having bought your stuff for next to nothing, sell it again to the packers st a profit. “The"packers put it up end sell it to'the wholesalers, at another profit. The wholesalers sell it to the retailers, at another profit. The retailers sell it to the consumer at still another profit. And the railroads merrily baul it around from one to another, back and forth, criss-cross and every-which-way, at further pro- fit to themeelves for each haul. The farmer who geéts thirty-five cents on & dollar for the stuff may be regard- ed as doing rather unusually well Another way is to eat what you can, ive the neighbors all they'll take, and ’eed the rest ot the pigs. Another way is to let the surplus fall off and rot on the ground In these latter methods, neither the pigs or the moil get a certain advantage. I sometimes think it's about as much as the farmer gets when he sells the first way. Another method e to sell all one can, direct to consumers, at full re- tail prices, thus putting into your cwn_pocket all the profits and com- miesfons and-other charges incident to bulk eelling: and then to can the eur- plus, right at home, and sell that al- 50 Cirect to the consumer for winter use, thus again keeping to yourself the tolls which otherwise would have gone to buyer and packer and wholesaler end commission-man and retailer and railroads. “But wa can’t can vegetables and fruits, on the farm, to compete with those put up &t regular canning es- tablishments,” I hear some one say. That's where you're dead wrong. We can do exactly that thing. That is to say, scores if not hundreds are ding it every season, and there appears no clear reason why we can't do what others are doing. Several years ago, the government ut out, as one of Iits free bulletins or farmers, a full description of all that was needed for successful home canning of fruits and vegetables, in tin. Since then the bulletin has been Tevised and kept up to date. It's at the service of any farmer or farmer’s wife or farmer’s boy or farmers girl Optimist. - - He has absolute faith in his medicine —he knows when he takes it for cer- tan aflments he gets relief.

A3 seéms to be usual, it was in the ‘west that the idea was taken up. It's getting S0 that about everything new and useful to farmers gets its firat real welcome in the west. We east- ern farmers are so dog-gone well sat- isfled with ourselves that we rather resent the suggestion of anything new. At_least, 8 good many of us do,—tgo many. But “out west” they are not so cock-sure that they are perfect in either theory or practice. So, when the government experts showed in plain words and with simple pictures and easy directions how the fruit- vegetable grower could can his sur- plus, quite a few Wwesterners sat up and’ took notice. It’s rather interesting, mot to say suggestive, that a big percentage of those who thus took up home canning were the wives and daughters of far- mers. The rather monotonous com- plaint that farm women are kept at such steady drudgery that they havent time even to think, doesn't Seem to be universally true, out west. In the last two years I must have read forty accounts of how little ome canneries had been started in the west and southwest, generally by women who wanted more home comforts than wheat and corn seemed to dring in, or by girls who wanted more pin mémeg than Father could sometimes afford. For instance, they're telling, out in Missouri, about a thirteen years old girl who last epring set out a tenth of an acre of tomato plants. She set them herself, cultivated them her- self, staked and pruned them herself, picked them herself, before and after school. In the fall she built a fire under a tree, put her washboiler over, and canned 250 cans of first-class, A No. 1 tomatoes, every one of which came up to fancy standard and has been scld at a good price. She also got $3.50 in premiums at the fair, and is hoping for another prize which is to ‘be ‘given the girl wha made the largest profit from tomatoes. Byt that last she isn't sure of, because there were a whole lot of other thir- teen and fourteen year old girls who made money the same way and the re- turns aren’t all in yet. More interesting, even, to thoss who are waiting to increase the farm in- come, is the experience of a farmer's wife in Arkansas, which I have just been reading. She writes that bdefore | dru; she investigated, she had the usual idea that it took special skill and ex-, pert training to put stuff into tin cans 50 it would keep. For ome thing, she didn’t suppose it was possible for any- one to solder a can, unless he was a workman trained at the fire-pot and soldering-iron. Now, with the help of her own fam- ily and a few girls hired .outside at the rush season, s#he puts up about a thousand cans a day, and eells them for everi better prices than the big Carmeries hope to get. Hear her:— ' “Canning tomatoes, beans and fruft for market is easier than canning fruit for the family in the usual way. I used to put up fruit in glass each year, and can a féw tomatoes, but now I have charge of otr canning plant and it is not harder. than housework, and my husband, who was skeptical at firet, has become quite emthusiastic. “Our little place fs mostly in fruit and vegetables.

They gave com- plete and easy instruction.” Her outfit cost $80 and it is capable of doing a thousand cans a day. The only bullding required is a shed ten feet by tweny with open sides, wire- screened to keep out the flies. The tin cans cost less than two and a halt cents a piece and come with the solder on them, so that all one has to do, is to touch them with a hot fren and, presto! they're sealed up as tight as ms. Crates to hold two dozen cans cost from 12 to 15 cents. The canned tomatoes sell readily to grocers in Cases. for ninety-five cents a dozen and to consumers at retail for $1.25 a zen. In a normal season, when the to- matoes yleld their average of 8,000 cans ‘to the acre, this woman makes a profit of fifty per cent clean and clear, after paying all costs for rais- ing and canning the fruit rather more profitable, though involving more trouble and ‘“puttering.” She modestly. ‘warns would-be-imi- tators that they mustn’t expect to find “millions in it,”" “but it is & nice lit- tle side-Hne that works in well with cows and pigs and fruit”” Last year they sold $1,500 worth of products, half of which was profit, and she ten- tatively suggests that this was doing pretty well for “a woman’s business.” What do you think, Sister? or Brother? One chance remark in this woman’s letter impressed me. It was to the profit depended almost wholly on the season, and the crop, whether it was large or small, as the market for the canned goods was always about the same. Considering the fickle manner in which prices of other farm products go hopping up and down, it is some- thing to have goods to offer on which the market can be reckoned as fairly steady. 3 Now, I don’t suppose that this gos- pel of the home canning outfit is for everybody. But it manifestily fits some in Missouri and Arkansas and Nebraska. It may -reasonably be as- sumed that it would fit others in Con- A NORWICH INQUIRY Answered By the Statement Of a Nor- wich Resident. ‘When first the long series of re- ports of Norwich people who have been relieved by Doan’s Kidney Pills were published in the local press, great enthusiasm and - interest were aroused. But Norwich is now in- quiring “How are these people keep- ing today? How has the benefit they recelved withstood:-the test of time?” For that, after all, is the essential test of a cure. On this point doubt can no longer exist, for after many years those who have been cured, emphati- cally declare their cures to be lasting. D. J. Brown, § Summer St., Norwich, says: “The results that followed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills in my case were satisfactory. I got this remedy at*N. D. Sevin & Son’s Drug Store and it proved effective in strengthen- ing my kidneys and relieving other symptoms of kidney trouble.” A LASTING EFFECT.

Everybody knows that there is a tremendous annual waste in the gardens and fruiteries of New Enland. There may not be so very much in any one garden but the aggregate, if they were all totted up, would be something immense. If it could be saved the individual items might not be large, but the aggregate would to- tal very impressive figures. In farming it's the little things that really count: the little sayings that make all the difference between thrift and shiftlessness. In almost every community there is some woman who seems to have a speclal knack at jams and preserves and such like “Axin’s”. Who doesn't feel his mouth water at the remembrance of some “Aunt Ruth’s” canned quinces? Or fome “gran’ma’s” crab apple “Jell’? I have even known men who were quite dabsters at the canning propo- sition. One whom I once knew, put up forty-eight grass jars of citron one fall when his wife was away and the melons wouldn’t keep for her re- turn. He ate most of them himself, too, and bragged so much about their superior keeping qualities and extra flavor that his wife is understood to have decided he’ll have to put up all he may want in the future! If he'd sold them, instead, he wouldn't have run the risk of getting her Dutch up by his injudicious boastfulness! Given the possession of a garden and of some little knack in the pre- paration of vegetables and fruits, there is evidently a chance in this home canning proposition for the de- velopment of a fairly profitable side line on many small farms. THE FARMER. WESTERLY FUGITIVE SURRENDERS Nunziato Di Bartolo, Who Shot Brother-in-law, Gives Him- self Up to New London Police—Funeral of Ralph Dunn —Pawecatuck Fire District Seeks Better Equipment. Numziato de Bartolo, wanted for shooting Louis Pellegrizzi, who is now lIying in a critical condition in the Rhode Island hospital in Providence, was taken into custody by Officers Charles P. Hammond and Frank P.: Howard in New London Friday morn- ing, about 9 o'clock. men. The latter at once noticed something strange about the actions| of the man and because of his pe-| cullar manner the police went up to him and commenced to ask questions. De Bartolo, unable to refrain longer, confessed that he was the one want- ed for the shooting in Westerly on Sunday night in Central Park —dis- trict. The New London officers took him in charge and notified the West- erly police. At 10.20 Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown left Westerly and returned with De Bartolo at noon. De Bartolo presented a sorrowful picture. For four dgqys he had been trylng to evade the clutches of the law and the relatives of the wounded man whom he thought were on hi: trail. Since the night of the shoot. ing he bas had barely a mouthful to eat, in spite of the fact that $9.42 was found in his pockets. Owing to fear of capture he did not dare enter a restaurant. Days he had secreted him- self in the woods between Westerly and New London, walking much of the time at night. When he was taken in charge in New London he was al- most starving. The policemen, seeing hie distress, took him to an Italian restaurant where he was given a sub- stantial meal, It is stated that when De Bartolo did the shooting he wore a moustache, but when he was taken in charge tn Friday it was seen that this had been removed. Chief Brown asked the prisoner when he made the change, but the latiter seemed somewhat con- fused and did not appear te know when the mustache had been shaved oft According to the story told by De Bartolo he left Westerly Thursday night for New London. He walked as far as Stonington, he said, and then boarded G. and 8. trolley car for New London. Chief Brown, however, is in- clined to doubt the veracity of this statement because if De Bartolo bad gotten on a car for New London' he would have been running serious chances of being captured. The per- spiration on his clothes also tendered to show that he walked all the way to New London. The three brothers of Louis Pelle- grini, the wounded man, are now in ‘Westerly, and word has been receiv- ed by them from the hospital that the condition of Louis remains critical, al- though & little more encouragement has been given. Latest 15"\7’(1‘!‘10!1 of the shooting reveals the fact that more than one ‘bullet was fired by De Bartolo. Louis has told his brothers that the first shot missed him and lodged in the casing of the door. It was the sec- cnd shot, he said, that entered his abgomen. De Eartolo is awalting appearance before the Third District court, The funeral service of Ralph Dunn, who committed suicide at the Wester- ly railroad station, Tuesday night, was held at his home on Mechanic street, Thursday afternoon, service be- ing conducted by Dev.

Bage tea was an old beverage and sassafras tea had a great vogue, a vogue which lingers to some extent among us. It is drunk as a spring medicine, but it is undeniably fragrant and even to some up-to-date palates has a pleasing flavor. One of the things which impressed the earliest white settlers in the country and of which they glowingly wrote as one of the charms and appealing features of the new world was the abundance of sassafras. Improvement on the Saw. The efficiency of the saw has been greatly increased by the recent inven- tion of a Frenchman. The teeth of the new saw are arranged in alternate groups—four pointing forward and then four pointing back. For cutting metal the new saws are almost twice as efficient as saws of the usual pat- tern. They last six times .as long. The blades do not break easily. They cut either wood or metal and are made in a great variety of shapes and styles. / Cause of the Trouble. “Didn’t marry her, eh?
