Interests of this tat \, wheel

SEcoN p. organization can n
utilized with great advantage ~
The dissemin ion Of knowledge'
Several barriers stand seriously II
the way Of livestock extension
and livestock i1npr ovement IN the
state. These include lack 81
fences, lack of.buildings. and Sthe
absence Of suitable materials forr
efecting improy ements, but none
of these are SO great a barrier III
the way Of advance at the present
time, as a lack Of knowledge On
the part. Of the. people with refer
ence TO the principles which govern
the successful breeding and
management Of livestock. Or
CARNATIONS can do much by way
of dissenlin atipg useful knowledge
with reference to all these things.
Discussions can be held at the
annual meeting and these can be
through the medium of
the press and otherwise for the
advantage OF the people. s.
THIRD. Organization can
influence markets and mark citing
where the individual would sba.
powerl ess. When men arc urged
to grow better. stock that they
may obtain for it a better price,
they answer. 80 Why should WE
do 50? Even though our stock -
better we get no better price; we
can only SIT to the local DEALER
And there is much Of truth in the
answer. The local dealer can fix
the price in too many instances.
and can, therefore, reap the
benefit IF the improvement which.
the producer has made. The
remedy is tWo-fold. s Improved:
stock can be grownin consid cradle
numbers III any one locality, and
when thus grown buyers will soon
he aattracte hose ice will lllll
produces compel tion, and local
livestock markets cam be estab-i
lished where the livestock can BE
exposed for sale on certain days
at stated intervals In this way,
also, buyers will be attracted as
soon as good stock is TINS brought
out for sale. Live stock organize.
lions can powerfully assist in
bringing about these conditions,
and when difficulties as to freight
rates are TO be adjusted, the voice
Of organized bodies will get
respectful hearing when that of
the individual would probably be
raised in vain. . r.
4 FOURTH. Organization can do
much by way Of cooperating in
the establishment Of packing in
dustries within the state. Tt can
do so by encouraging legislation
favorable to the same, BY CO.
operating with citizens in securing
transportation rates that will not
discriminate in favor Of any one,
and by encouraging producers
within the state to furnish the
material in quantity and quality
that the packers require to make
tn cir work a success. Why the
work Of packing meat is transferred
to Chicago which should be done
in St. Paul and Minneapolis, is a
question for the people ofour state
to answer, and why the best meats
consumed In our metropolitan
cities should come from Kansas
and Nebraska is a question which
our farmers should answer.
II livestock organizations, or
indeed any other influence or COM
bination Of influences could prove
effective ii staying that overflow
Of mill feed and coarse grains
which go Eastward from our state
