In his recent address, President Sey
mour, ol the American Dairymen's Ah
elation, thus alludes to (house of the mi
croscope as n farm tool : "It Is one of tlio
greatest mIMaUes of the farmer that, as
a rule, they sutler tlio buyer to know
more about the quality and value of farm
produce than Is known by those whose
labor nmlci s thorn. The buyer has tests
which the Tinner docs not have. I no
llcti w hen the wool buyer eoiiics around
ho takes ouIIiIh uliissimil sees at u glance
tlio htrocluru of Him article In hand, and
known more about It limn he who tolled
ti year In Its production. Tlio muiii Is
true of seeds. Themagnlller Isnppllrd to
pork tn sec If it Is Inf Hteil with trichina.
I think It Is (rue, as u rule, tht the buy
ers of farm pro.luuls know mom about
them than I he producers. The iiiau who
knows the mott always gi ts the hi'st of
the bargain. It Is ceitalii that knowl
edge Is power In making u trade. It can
salcly be set down as a ntle (hat a man
who, fiom uatuia! or iirtillclal iuiihoiih,
can Heo a hundred times as much as his
neighbor, will know the maikets."
