L THE FARMER'S TALK TO FARMERS NEED A LITTLE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE ON THE FARM (Written Specially For The Bulletin.) My old friends of The Rural New ‘Torker ‘have been hunting down two or three more instances of the undue profit which farmers are gouging out of rtunate consumers. You' know that certain consumers and certain city newspapers which are prices which faemers are charging for itheir products; and poihting to the “cnormous” profits ‘Wwhich t.be said farmers are obtaining. Hides, for instance. Cow hides whlch used to bring the farmer perhaps a couple of dollars, he is now getting an average of about $7 for, Just think of it! “More'n times as much!” “No ‘wonder them dy farmers are get- tm’ rich!™ Let’'s look into that a little. Ac- cording to the best authorities whom The Rural could reach a hide makes ahout ‘seven pairs of shoes. Those seven pairs of shoes sell for an aver- age of 33~some a good deal! more and some a little less, but about $36 on an average, That the farmer who sells 2 hide for 87, and then has to buy during the vear seven pairs of shoes for his fam- ily, pays $35 to get that hide back in choes. He geta $7 for the hide; he pays the tanner and the shoemaker and the toll-takers 328 for their atten- tions to it is $7; their share is $25. ures that he, the farmer, to 19 cents of the dollar The Rural zets from the consumer broomstick i irmer was the 1 andli nch to be cha Ateering or with grindin the poor. It is by no means cer- hat anvbody is deliberatel that last 2 f really is doin But it takes money and skill Iabor to hides and make shoe: artain sure, "' ig, little, coiors throus maney akes just about as it used t cow-hide, now, isn't getting one red cent more for himself than he used ta, because he has to pay three times as much for feed and labor? He takes in 33 ‘where he used to take in $1. Then ke pays out $3 where he used vo pay out $1. If he made a dollar for him- self in the old days, after low ex- penses were paid, he mdkes just Ivout that same dollar for himself, now, af- ter high expenses are paid. ‘When he wanted shoes for his fam- ilv, in the old ddys, he had to hunt up about $12 more to put with the 31 he got for his cow-hide to pay for the annual seven pairs. Now he has to hunt up $28 more to put with the 37 he got for his hide to get the same seven pair. Seems to that man up a tree as if this were a'rather Dottom- side-up, wrong-side-out. and ’tother- end-to way to get inordinately rich! Another instance: The Rural's edi- ter recently scraped together money enough to buy a meal at a restaurani, running under the food administra- tion’s new regulations. He was charged 10 cents for two thin slices of bread, and 20 cents for “a large spoonful of bread pudding—made from bread scraps and milk.” Being ahan- dy chap with pad and pencil, the Ru- ral ‘man figured it out that the res- taurant was getting something better than 40 cents a loaf, at this_time, while the farmer got something less than 2 1-2 cents for the wheat out of which the loaf was made. “That makes what we cdll a six-cent dollar,” says he. “And so it goes; and so it is,” Mr. Manning used to say. Tt costs the big flouring mills about an eighth of a cent a pound to grind wheat into flour—Twenty-five cents a barrel is their fixed profit for the entire operation—It costs, perhaps, another cent a pound for transporia- tion. If costs the baker two cents a Iulf to bake it. Now, the farmer's 2 . plus the miller’s 1-8 cent, the transpértation cost of 1 cent, the baking cost of two cents total of 5 5-8 cents for what restaurant seils for 40 cents.

There is probably mo better, safer or more reliable stomach anti-acid than Bisurated Magnesia, and it is widely used for this purpose. It has mo direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a teaspoomful of the powder or a couple of five grain tab- lets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent its further formatjon. This removes whole cause of the trouble an meal digests naturally and healthful without need of pepsin pills or ar ficial digestents. Get a few ounces of BiSurated Mag. nesia from any reliable druggist. for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative.
