OTHEE AIDS TO FAEMING 183 



merit, has passed away. The fanner to be suc- 

 cessful in the marketing of his produce must grade 

 it, and brand each grade honestly, and misrepre- 

 sent nothing. 



It should be the aim of every man engaged in 

 the business of farming to do everything that 

 can be done to produce the quality and then grade 

 his produce and sell only the best grades, and as 

 far as possible, utilize his inferior grades upon the 

 farm in the feeding of stock. 



"Fancy" produce of all kinds marketed in the 

 most attractive manner as to packages, appear- 

 ance, or proper handling, always do, and always 

 will command the highest price, and the grower 

 and seller of such products will soon achieve such 

 a reputation that the demand for his produce will 

 exceed his supply. 



Standardization enters into everything. There 

 are standards in brains and the man possessed of 

 the best brain in any of the professions and 

 trades is enabled to do his work with the greatest 

 skill and power and so commands the greatest 

 wage. The best merchandise brings the great- 

 est and most profitable price. The best musician, 

 and the author that writes the best book, attract 

 the greatest number of hearers and readers. The 

 best soil is in the best demand at the best price. 

 So the man engaged in the business of farming 

 who produces the finest grains, vegetables, fruits 

 and farm animals, though he live the farthest re- 

 moved from market will always find the buyer 

 willing to pay the price, wending his way through 

 inferior unstandardized farm produce to his door- 

 way.
