Marketing Home-Canned Goods
11Y MU'IHCK ri.OYH.
THE home caiiuer has been of
great benefit to farmers lu help
ing thorn sme surplus fruit,
vegetable and berry crops which
would otherwise have gone to wasto
for want of a market. But after the
goods me canned. If there Is u sur
plus above the home needs, there Is
yet tho problem of marketing to bo
solved. Unfortunately nil farmers do
not put up home en lined goods or a
uniformly high grade, consequently
tho grower with a first-class product
sometimes has to convince the dealer
that his goods are up to the murk
lieforo he will consent to luiudle
them.
Then, too, home conned goods, oven
of the best quality, are not uniform.
That lb, one fanner's puck will not
be exactly llko another's, which U
apt to cause the denier enibarrass
nient mid the customer to hosltnto
about purchasing buch goods when
ho can got tho factory product of
known grade and reliability.
Tho solution of this difficulty, how
ever, lies lu boiling direct to tho con
sumer. Then the farinor who turns
out a high-grado product will find u
growing demand for his goods, be
cause his customers will soon learn
that they cau depend on his product:
nml It Is a well-known fact that homo
canned goods, put up proncrlv, are
superior to the factory product.
Selling direct to tho consumor Is
not always an easy matter, howovor,
for not every furmer can sparo tho
time needed to work up a trade. T
H. Dyer, a busy IVxns fruit grower,
has solved this problom, though, and
secured buyers for his canned fruit
by nieatiB of newspaper advertising.
Mr. Dyer had a considerable quan
tity of delicious Elberta peaches, put
up In threp-pound cans, on hand,
wh oh ho did not need himself and
which the home market would not
tnke because It wns overstocked. A
small advertisement In a farm paper
which circulated largely among cot
ton growers who usually do not
ralso fruit of their own brought In
enough orders in n few weeks to tako
up all his surplus. Thus ho turned
his fruit Into monoy without the loss
of time from his farm duties.
"Thero Is ono thing positively
necessary In building up n successful
trndo of this kind," Mr. Djer says,
"aud that Is absolute honest)." In
this his exporlcnco exactly tallies
with that or tho thousands or busi
ness firm who havo made a success
of advertising.
Have a "CliumoN" Handy.
A "chamois," It by 12 Inchos or
turgor, is a very useful article to havo

your kitchen supplies a couplo of

Whon you hnvo no nioro uso for
tho oilcloth from tho kitchen table,
mako an apron for tho llttlo girls.
Cut tho best pieco a llttlo longor
