occasion for discourag-ement. Fanners lost 
their hay crop, wheat and all other farm 
ci'ops were g'reatly reduced and prices not 
proportionately increased, yet none of them 
will abandon their farms. Compare the

branch of agriculture and you will find them 
at the head of the list even in the drouthv,

THE MARKETS. 
Beginning the last of April with aspara- 
gus, we are on the market every day till frost 
comes, finishing the season with grapes. 
Asparagus is cut everj' day until strawberries 
are well in market and raspberries, black- 
berries and grapes overlap each other so 
there is no break and customers are held 
throughout the season. We are taking in 
money every day all spring, summer and 
fall. Have something to offer j'our cus- 
tomers every day and they will soon get the 
idea they can't get along a single day with- 
out fruit of some kind. If they tire of one 
kind, have some other variety to tempt their 
appetite, so big in size, so bright in color, so 
delicious in flavor that they cannot resist. 
One of my <'u.st<>in<M-s who had been 
examining his family ticket one day ap- 
proached me with a frown and said, '• See 
here, Kellogg, you are ruining me. That 
berry ticket actually shows over four dollars 
per week for berries with only four in a 
family. Before you attacked us I never had 
to pay over fifty to seventy-five cents per 
week for what berries we wanted to eat. I 
can't stand it," to which I replied that I had 
tried to g-et his wife to "slow up" as I did 
not have enough for other " waiting custom- 
ers," but it was no use. L,ater when the 
season's bill was presented for payment I 
repeated the statement of his wife who said 
that the family had had a great feast, had 
never been so healthy, and that all doctors 
agreed a fruit diet made a clear head, better 
brain, blood and l)rawn and that he, him- 
self, had been able to earn more in conse-

TTi<> market is what you make it. Fur- 
nished with poor and flavorless berries, a 
small dish once per day will suffice for each 
member of the family. Given a large and 
luscious berry and each one passing the 
I'li;- dish back a second and even third time 
to be refilled makes the quarts disappear. 
I have ma<l<' most moiK'y by selling 
direct to regular customers private fami- 
lies. I have a beautiful wagon finished as 
fine as a phaeton and lettered in large gold 
letters artistically shaded, drawn by a big, 
shiny black horse, with well blackened har- 
ness and polished brass trimmings. 
I have a .second wagon which brings the 
berries from the field and I remain on the 
market all day. I always wear shoes well 
blackened and don't wear a dirty shirt col- 
lar. A neat pers .nal appearance is cheap 
and goes a long way among the tony fami- 
lies who "dispense cash freely." Never give
