FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

The habit of Saving 



Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi- 

 ness world. Begin the 

 habit by opening a savings 

 account with the Hayden- 

 ville Savings Bank. One 

 dollar is enough to start 

 with.

A Canning Budget 



A canning budget should be made to 

 avoid an under or over supply of canned 

 goods. Some products deteriorate in color 

 and flavor upon .standing and hence mean 

 lost work. Exceptions might be made in 

 canning plums, cherries and peaches when 

 these are raised where they are canned, 

 because these crops are often intermittent 

 yielders, with alternate years of plenty 

 and scarcity. 



The following canning budget allows 

 for one canned vegetable a day. A stored 

 vegetable, or an occasional one bought 

 fresh, may provide the second vegetable, 

 thus meeting the ideal of two sei-vings for 

 each person daily. Likewise one serving 

 of canned fruit per day has been planned 

 for, which may well be supplemented by 

 an additional serving of fresh or stored 

 fruit.

 Children Over 6 for one Year

 atoes, 18 quarts of other vegetables, 4.3 

 quarts of fruit. 



SMELL NOT ENOUGH! 



Too often disinfectants are purchased 

 because they give ofi' a vile odor. "Smell" 

 docs not make the disinfectant efficient. 

 The value of a disinfectant is determined 

 by comparing it with a standard solution 

 of phenol or carbolic acid. Many disin- 

 fectants have the phenol coeefficient ex- 

 pi'essed on the container. Some appar- 

 ently try to be misleading by stating that 

 the material was a "high phenol coe- 

 efficient". If this was true they would 

 put the figure on the package. Pur- 

 chasers should take advantage of this in- 

 formation, avoid general statements, and 

 buy only disinfectants of the highest 

 phenol coefficient. For example a disin- 

 fectant with a phenol coefficient of 2 

 costing $1.75 a gollon is more expensive 

 than a disinfection with a phenol coe- 

 fficient of 6, costing $5.00. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 in its co-operative T. B., eradication work 

 only accepts certain disinfectants. These 

 cost more than the ordinary 'smelly" dis- 

 infectants and they are decidedly worth 

 it.

 the hands of women."
