An Incident in the Currant Market 
I am not a farmer but like lots of peo- 
jde who are interested in agricultiire, take 
3'iie K. N.-Y. I often .see articles in your 
paper beai'ing the resemblance to the one 
signed C. E. Clapp, Columbia Co., N. Y., 
who has currants begging at seven and 
eight cents a quart. Is%w there are many 
this Winter who have no currant jelly be- 
cau.sc of the high prices of currants, not 
only currants but many other berries, 
fruits and farm produce. Why should 
these conditions exist between producer 
and consumer? Perhaps an advertise¬ 
ment in the Subscribers’ Exchange of 
your paper would help. I see very little 
farm produce advertised this way. 
I wish you would have this appear in 
your columns; perhaps it will start some 
one thinking. M. b. 
.'Vdii'ondack iNIts. 
It. N.-Y.—That is a good illustration of 
the folly of our i)resent system of dis¬ 
tribution No effort was made to develop 
a market for those surplus currants. The 
result was thousands of ci’ates wore 
wasted or not even picked, and now there 
is an unsatisfied demand for currant jelly. 
With the plans of the pre.sent Foods and 
Markets Department worked out these 
surplus currants would have been canned 
and would now be ready for sale direct 
to M. R. or others. That would have 
saved the loss and made a good distribu¬ 
tion. As it was no one was interested in 
selling or distributing beyond the imme¬ 
diate needs of the market. We believe 
one can buy or sell anything which rep¬ 
resents a real need through our Sub¬ 
scribers’ Exchange Department.

and Mutton? 
The successful raising of live stock is 
science of which perfect digestion 
is the keynote. 
Are You Satisfied With Your Profits? 
H ow much of your high priced stock feed actually nroduces 
results? What does it cost you to fatten live stock*for^mar- 
j.. make a good profit after all food costs are 
considered? The.se are vital questions. The less it costs you to 
raise a good animal the more profit you make. ^

International 
Stock Food Tonic 
Good for All Kinds of Live Stock 
Why feed high priced grain to stock and see it pass through the 
animal because of bad digestion? 
International Stock Food Tonic answers this problem for the farmer. 
It contains the needed elements to help the animal digest its feed 
and build weight. Try it. Send finished hogs to market 30 days 
younger. Cut your cost of fattening hogs, cattle and sheep—get 
more milk from dairy cows—build strength in horses.
