A SELF-SUPPORTING HOME 



fall and winter. If you can approximate 

 your customers' wants now, you can arrange 

 your stock, and buy grain, etc., at harvest 

 time, at a lower price than will be possible 

 later. 



If you are living in a "way-out farm," 

 where personal touch with customers is im- 

 possible, put an advertisement into the Sun- 

 day paper of your nearest town, stating that 

 you can supply fresh eggs at - - (naming the 

 price) to a few customers who will pay ex- 

 press charges, amounting to only 25 cents 

 for twelve dozen. 



If you are going to have guineas, turkeys, 

 ducks, or geese, say so plainly and simply. 

 When people write for more information, 

 reply at once and write distinctly. 



Another good plan I know three or four 

 women to have followed is to write to the 

 Women's Exchange, asking it to take orders; 

 also to permit you to send to its office twelve, 

 twenty-four, or thirty-six dozen eggs at once, 

 it will cost no more than a single dozen,
