THE RETAILER’S PROFIT ON SHEEP. 
The Somerset and Franklin Sheep Breed¬ 
ers’ Association laid plans for some far- 
reaching changes in the industry, when the 
executive committee met in Skowhegan re¬ 
cently. Instead of allowing the beef trust 
and the live stock dealers to absorb-more 
than a fair profit, the sheep men propose 
to get out on the warpath, and go right 
after the consumer’s dollar themselves. 
Maine is dotted with Summer hotels and 
boarding houses, to say nothing of the 
less pretentious fishing and hunting 
camps. Thousands of lamb carcasses find 
a ready market upon the dining tables of 
these establishments every year, yet the 
sheep raisers have benefited but little from 
It. Custom has decreed that the animals 
must first bo sold alive to some buyer 
When a carload has been thus accumulated 
they are shipped to Brighton market and 
sold again. Then they go to the slaugh¬ 
ter house, and after passing through the 
hands of an indefinite number of middle¬ 
men, find their way back into Maine. E. 
E. Gifford, president of the Sheep Breed¬ 
ers’ Association, has been studying this 
traffic for some time past, and finally came 
to the conclusion that there was a way 
out. lie saw that the orders for lambs 
were all filled by way of Boston, because 
the supply was concentrated there, and 
buyers could be sure of getting what they 
needed and when they needed it. The 
first step then, in approaching the con¬ 
sumer, was to be able to assure him as to 
the available supply. This part of the 
problem was taken up at the committee 
meeting and it was decided first to take 
a census of the stock available. Blanks 
are in preparation which will be sent to 
every member of the association, calling 
for the following information: The num¬ 
ber of lambs expected during the coming 
season ; the number that will probably be 
available for market; the date at which 
the earliest may be ready for slaughter; 
the facilities available for slaughtering 
and placing in cold storage. 
As soon as these returns are all In, 
President Gifford will proceed to get In 
communication with the hotel stewards, 
etc., and arrange for delivery of the lambs 
at such times and in such quantities as 
the buyers may desire. Preference will be 
given to those establishments that call for 
the larger quantities, In order to save as 
much as possible on the express charges. 
The result of this change will be to save 
to the producer a much larger share of the 
consumer’s dollar than he has ever before 
had the pleasure of looking upon. Mr. 
Gifford figures that it will make a differ¬ 
ence of about .$2 per head on the average- 
sized lambs, reckoning a cut of 10 per 
cent below market prices to the consumer 
as an inducement to get business. This 
plan in operation for one or two years, 
will work wonders with the sheep industry. 
Instead of prices but a shade above the 
cost (of production, this elimination of 
the middleman will bring returns that will 
make the business boom. No other branch 
of stock husbandry offers the same oppor¬ 
tunity, because it is the splendid retail 
market that is at the bottom of the whole 
thing. The officers of the association are 
rather in hopes that some one of the 
larger Summer hotels may arrange to take 
the entire output. This would simplify the 
management considerably, and make easier 
both the slaughtering and the shipping. 
Every precaution will be taken to hold 
the quality up to the top notch, so that 
as the supply increases, the market will 
more than keep pace with it.

House Drainage.—I am very much Inter¬ 
ested in your articles on house drainage, 
knowing this to be a vital question in rural 
homes. I would like to know if others are 
using a homemade system similar to the 
one described in the issue of September 10,

Guaranteed for 15 Years— 
No More Roof Expense 
When you use Dickelman Extra—your roof troubles are over. Our 15-year guaranty_ 
stamped on every roll—and given to you in black and white protects you absolutely It 
simply means that you will have no more roof expense—no more roof troubles—for at 
least 15 years after the date you purchase. Most 
likely you will never have to roof the same building 
again. 
DICKELMAN EXTRA 
Galvanized Metal Roofing 
We guarantee it for 15 years, but know it will last twice that long. 
We know that our roofing which was put up 25 years ago is still in excellent 
condition —and should last 25 years longer. We do not simply tell you or promise 
you our roofing will last for 15 years —weguarantee it. Ask your dealer about 
DICKELMAN EXTRA. If he doesn’t sell it, write us at once for sample and 
our valuable roofing book—sent prepaid. Know we can our roofing 
for 15 years while others make vague promises that mean nothing. 
The secret of the durability of Dickelman Extra lies in the wonderful system 
of galvanizing—and the high quality of the materials used. The metal sheet we 
use fora base is made by a special process which leaves it tough—yet pliable 
and open-grained. So the galvanizing material fills up the "pores”—and actu¬ 
ally becomes a part of the finished sheet. This prevents it from cracking_ 
" .scaling—wearing or rusting off.

Cultivating Methods. 
There is no denying the fact that 
methods of cultivating vary. Some 
farmers cultivate shallow and others 
deep. Of course, much depends upon 
soil conditions. But there is one thing 
certain, and that is that the cultivation 
should be thorough and the weeds kept 
down. It is also a fact that soil condi¬ 
tions and the “lay of the land” has 
forced cultivator manufacturers to build 
many types of machines. One of the 
most complete lines of cultivators on the 
market is the Buckeye, manufactured 
by The American Seeding-Machine Co., 
Incorporated, Springfield, Ohio, and the 
farmer can get any style he needs— 
Buckeye Adjustable Arch Walking Culti¬ 
vators with rigid or parallel spring 
shovel beams, Buckeye Sunbeam Walk¬ 
ers with adjustable arch and spring 
teeth or with side harrow attachment, 
Buckeye Sunbeam Adjustable Arch Bal¬ 
anced Frame Walkers, Buckeye Dodger 
Pivot Axle Riding Disc Cultivators, 
which are the best hillside disc cultiva¬ 
tors on the market; Easy Buckeye Rid- 
ing Cultivators with pin or spring shovels, 
Buckeye Pivot Axle Riding Cultivators 
equipped with long or short axles, hav¬ 
ing four, six or eight-spring trip, rr pin- 
break shovels, or spring-teeth beams, 
with ten spring teeth, acknowledged to 
be king of all shovel cultivators; Buck¬ 
eye Hammock Seat Cultivators in all 
styles and sizes; the new Buckeye Nar¬ 
row Row that has such great latitude 
as to width of adjustment that it will 
take care of any narrow-row crop and 
the wide row as well. Parties who con¬ 
template the purchase of a cultivator 
should send to The American Seeding- 
Machine Co., Incorporated, Springfield, 
Ohio, for their cultivator pamphlets, and 
then go. to their local implement dealer 
and insist on seeing the Buckeye. Re¬ 
member that these tools are sold under 
a warranty that amply protects the pur¬ 
chaser—a guarantee that no manufac¬ 
ture’* would dare to make unless his 
gr were absolutely right.
