Good Points on Marketing.
Success in fanning depends to a
considerable extent upon success in
marketing, and marketing has come
to be a highly specialized business. It
Involves an understanding of human.
In all cases act promptly in for-
warding the dealer -records of ship
ments that he may not be delayed in
getting possession 'of goods. Market
conditions often change from hour to
hour. In a very short time a con-
siderable fluctuation in price quota-
tions may occur.
Marketing perishable farm ,products
is a business in itself, and co -opera -
desires. The consuming public gauges tion between the buyer and seller is

How It Paid Us to Buy an Ensilage
Cutter.
One of the problems that is met
every fall among silo owners is the.
timely filling of the silo. In some
eases it is a serious one, and a con-
siderable amount: of money is lost by
the owners of the silo becatse a cut-
ter cannot be founcj to do the work
when it is most needed.
When four of us, whose farms are
adjoining, bought silos at the same
time we had this silo -filling problem
to solve. One day an agent came
along, and after an hour or so we
bought a small -sized cutter.
The cost of themachine was $285,
whici:, divided .among four, was not
much of a burden for anyone. On the
whole it is a cheap cutter. It has a
13 -inch throat. On an average, with
good power, it will run from 6 to 8
tons of silage an hour. One can
\ nsually figure that a cutter or any
other maehiner.•y will do from 10 to
50 per cent, less work than the sales',
Men claim, and this was no exception..
This size .is not what would be called
a custom,: maehiaa. It is for local
filling only, and is big enough for that
work. With this size we are told that
there is less settling afterward, be-
cause there is more time:to tran1 .
it down well, and also more Tie for it one life, if you have it in you to be
to settle while the filling is going on. the captain of a great ship and bring.
According to some writers this is an her across the sea full of ten thou-
error, and we should not tramp it at
all. 1 am not sure about this point.
The great advantage of this priv-
ately owned cutter is thatwe can get
our silos filled when the corn is ready.
Corn must go into the silo at the pro-
per time to make the best food.
Another great advantage of owning
a ;cutter is that a silo is easily re-
filled after settling, because it does
not leave the neighborhood after the
silos are. filled. And to the man who
wishes to utilize the full capacity of
his silo this is of considerable im-
portance. A silo that settles down six
feet has that much wasted space, and
that, part of the investment must be
added to the overhead expense of the
part of the silo which is filled.

Clothesline -P, ost Gaines.
The following are games that can
be played with clothesline posts
Post Tag—Each player has a post
for a goal. The player runs from post
to post. The player who is"it" must
tag ane of them between posts.
Ring the Post—Players stand ten
feet from a post and try to ring the
top of the post with a hat, cap or
hoop, The scores are kept a$ in ether
games.
Sitting Tether Ball—Use any small,
inflated hall like a tennis ball, or a
ball made frotha piece of cloth.
Fasten it to a string tied to the top
of the post. Two players sit on op-
posite sides of -the pest, and each tries
to wand the string round the post by
batting the ball with the hand in the
direction opposite to that in which his
opponent bats it. The player wins
who "winds: the string up until the ball
touches the post.
Hit the Post—Two players start
from the same post, and each places
one foot against the base and tries
to hit the next post with a ball or bean
bag. If he throws at the post and
fails to bit it, lie must pick up the

ball ex bean bag, run back to the

hits a post he picks up the ball or.
bean bag, advances to the post that
he has hit and tries for the next; and
so on in turn until he has hit every
post Whoever first iu4kes a circuit
of the posts ins. In a variation of
this game the players use a croquet
mallet and hall or a golf stick and
ball, and advance from post to pont
in the manner described.
Races Round the Posts. --Players
luny run in competition with one an-
other by starting each from a different
post, running round all the posts to
the starting point one or more times,
as they may agree. The most excit-
ing races are relay team runs. Each
runner of a team takes his turn In
covering the course, but he must not
start until the preceding runner of
his team touches him at the starting
post of that teahi. If there are four
posts, it is better to assign each team
two adjacentt posts round which to run.
To prevent starting too soon, require
each runner to carry and to pass to
his successor a stick or other object
Variationt such as running backward
and hopping add to the interest of the
races.

The general manager of a big manu-
facturing plait was talking about
some of the problems of his business
particularly the problem of men.
"Our office manager resigned some
time ago," he said, "and last week he
came in to say good-bye.
"He waeobviously pleased -with
himself. Things were in such good
shape, according to his way of think-
ing, that his successor would find little
to do. •
"I wished him luck; Ilad arranged
already to •put in his place a live
young fellow from. the West who had
made a record in office management.
"A couple of days later the young
fellow came in to report on his survey
of the office. He threw up his hands.
" 'It's terrible!' he said. 'I never
was up against a more discouraging
proposition in my life. Give me a few.
weeks, however, and you'll 'begin to
notice the difference.'
"There you have it," the general
manager continued. "The condition
that was so absolutely satisfactory in
the eyes of one man was utterly in-
excusable according to the standards
of the other.
"There was nothing definitely wrong
in the character of the first man: he
was neither dishonest or lazy,. But he
just never fin'i hed anything. The
office was nothing but a bundle of
good .resolutions unfilled.
"The other man, thank Heaven, be-
longs to that little company offolks
who have the habit of seeing the thing
through, of making a finished job of
what they. undertake. They are rare
birds; what wouldn't I give for a few
more of them!" / -
Every employer of men has fre-
quent occasion to echo that sentiment.
We ;talk • and write .about, success as
though there were some mystery in it.
But it is 'a very simple proposition.
All the World ` asks is that a man
should take hold of one task—any old
task.—and complete it, and then pass
on to another.
It is very illuminating to read the
lives ;c_ a«at men on this point.

Charles Darwin made his reputation
with a single book. And how long do
you think he was engaged upon it?
On my return it occurred to me, in
1857, that something night perhaps
be made out on this question by pa-
tiently accumulating and reflecting on
all sorts of facts which could possibly
have any bearing on it (he says).'
After five years' work I allowed my-
self to speculate on the subject, and
drew up some short notes; these ren -
larged in 1844 into a isketch of the
conclusions which then seemed to me
probable; from that peri,pd to the
present day I have steadily pursued
the same object. I hope I niay be
excused for these personal details, as
I give them to show that I have not
been hasty in coming to my conclu-
sion. My work is now (18b9) nearly
finished; but as it will take me many
more years to complete it, and as my
health is far from strong, I have been
induced' to publish this abstract.
Twenty-two years of sticking to
the thing, working always toward the
day when it could be called "finished"
—it is such work that the world re-
wards with its highest honors.
"At the Day of . Doom," says'[ Chris-
tian in Pilgrim's Progress, "men shall
be judged by their fruits. It will not
be said then, 'Did you believe?' but,
'Weye you doers or talrers only?' "
It's a• very good thing to look for-
ward' occasionally to the end of the
chapter—to the day when your work
will be done and you must accept the
record as you have written it.
Talk, good resolutions, things be-
gun and left in the middle=all these
are pretty unsatisfactory items to
show up in the final report.
It's the things you have started and
finished ;great or smell: that look
good when, you get to the end.
Let's join the company of finishers:
let's be able to say at the end: "Such
Wand such things I did, and. finished.
They are my monument—the evi-
dence that it was worth while for ala
to have lived."
