Geauga County’s Farm Agent. 
A year ago a county agricultural so¬ 
ciety was formed here. Only one other 
county in the State has such an asso¬ 
ciation, and that is Portage, with Mr. 
Miller as agent. The membership fee is 
$1. The county pays $1,000, the society 
the other thousand which is the agent’s 
salary, and places his service at the re¬ 
quest of any farmer in the county. Mr. 
Allen has given satisfaction, making a 
personal visit to any farm when re¬ 
quested, giving aid in all problems farm¬ 
ers are likely to encounter. lie, in con¬ 
nection with the Portage County agent,

Whenever the rate is lower or higher than 
now corresponding change will be made 
in price. Shipments are in car-lots only. 
Every man must deposit $2 with his or¬ 
der as a guarantee he will take the goods 
and pay cash for the same, which is for¬ 
feited if he fails to remove goods and 
pay for them within 36 hours after no¬ 
tice of arrival, potash and nitrate in 
200-pound sacks, all other in 167-pound 
sacks. Cars will deliver goods at all 
shipping points with a reliable man from 
the association to have charge of the car. 
It is estimated that this item alone will 
save the county $2,000. They also han¬ 
dle clover seed. Alfalfa hay, corn and 
other articles we need to buy. They will 
also send carloads of our excess crops to 
counties having need to buy, thus saving 
them sill middleman’s profits, which are 
sometimes as much as the farmer re¬ 
ceives, by the time the produce reaches 
the consumer, mrs. James lampman.

Ayrshire Breeder* Convene. 
With nearly 100 new members of the 
past year included, the Ayrshire Breed¬ 
ers’ Association now has approximately 
700 members. Of this number perhaps 
one-tenth met in New York on January 
S to attend to the business of the an¬ 
nual meeting. No papers were read nor 
addresses given. The president. Mr. 
John It. Valentine of Bryn Mawr, Pa., 
presented words of great encouragement to 
the members in view of the fact that 
for some time back there was little to 
encourage them. But a financial deficit 
has been wiped out anrr $7,500 denote the 
surplus of present funds. Four Ayrshire 
i cows have added glory to the year, for 
they have made individual records of 
more than 20.000 pounds of milk each. 
So decidedly is the association “looking 
up” that it will probably send a string 
of 10 fine Ayrshire cows to the Panama 
Exposition. A committee was appointed 
to see about the necessary funds, and if 
they fail to raise the amount needed tile 
association will invest not to exceed 
$2,000 in the proposition. Some changes 
were considered in the Advanced registry 
;ind the association expressed its desire to 
have Ayrshires judged at the fairs by 
men who breed them. The following of¬ 
ficers were elected for 1014: President. 
John A. Ness, Auburn. Me.; Vice Presi¬ 
dents, W. T. Wells, Newington. Conn.; 
J. W. Clise. Seattle, Wash.; Geo. II. 
Converse, Woodville, N. Y.; John II.

Adds 25% to 50% 
to your building’s value 
T HAT’S the investment value of good 
paint on the average building under average conditions. So 
why let your buildings depreciate when you can not only 
stop'the depreciation but increase their value? Good paint— 
such as Lucas paint—is a sound investment that pays real divi¬ 
dends. Conservative selection of paint—like you select all your 
investments—leads you instantly to 
The scientifically ground, expertly mixed paint that has a quality 
reputation since 1849. In those 65 years the Lucas skill, brains and 
facilities have developed the highest paint standard. Every hatch 
prepared must meet this standard before it bears the Lucas label.

tions, in all parts of the country.

Bradley implement factory in 
1910, this Bradley No. 6 Gang 
Plow r would have cost you $60.00
