In marketing farm products I found long ago that a high quality article will generally sell itself if put before the people; and after, you have made a reputation the only trouble is to produce enough to sup- ply the demand. A little advertisement in a farm paper sells all the calves or larger cattle there are to spare. The corn, wheat, and potatoes are sometimes grown by contract for seedsm,en, and sometimes sold direct to the buyer, Care is always taken to have all grains clean and in good condition when sold, a little better than sample shown, if possible. If it is only eggs you have to sell, they should be nice. Better keep at home any misshapen, small or dis- colored eggs than to put them in an order.
