Expense of Marketing Crops.

Expense OF Marketing Crops.
The expense sf hauling crops TO mar
ket is estimated at $SO,0OO,00O in adj
dition 10 railway transportation
charges. The government has recently
conducted an extensive investigation
of the cost of marketing crops with a
view TO promoting agricultural econ
omy. The expense is so great that
much valuable land remote from trans
portation facilities is practically value
less for cultivation and can only be
profitably utilized in live stock hus-
bandry, as cattle, sheep and horses can
be driven cheaply 10 remote railways.
crops would eliminate all profits in
agricultural products
Wheat. oats, corn, barley and fax
cannot profitably be produced from re-
mote transportation facilities. Corn Is
the leading cereal and costs 8 per cent
OF the crop TO haul it 10 market. 1t
is an expensive crop to produce and
market and the cost of hauling ii to
the elevators is a heavy tax on the
industry. Wheat costs around > cents
per bushel TO market, and potatoes
nominally the same. Tobacco and cot
ton are among the least expensive agri-
cultural products TO market owing to
their high value per pound. Wool
averages the longest haul owing to
large percentage Of the crop being pro-
duced on the ranges remote from rail
way transportation and costs an aver
age Of 20 cents per hundred pounds to
deliver to market, the average haul of
wool being forty miles.
The expense of marketing farm crops
falls on the producer, whether he hires
his products hauled or takes them per-
sonally. The farmers time and team
have a per day value when occupied
with operations on the farm and have
an equal value when devoted TO mar
keting agricultural products.
The government investigation was
conducted with the object of discover
ing methods of delivering crops to mar
kct at reduced cost. If the expense
could be cheapened one-tenth it would
save farmers Ss,OoO,oOO annually.
The only practical method suggested
by the government experts was to i'm
prove the roads of the country, to
cheaper the expense of moving crops to
market. With better public thorough
fares the farDer could double the capa-
city Of his load and reduce the cost OF
marketing prOportionately. Like rail
ways which the government subsidized
with enormous grants of public lands,
the improvement Of the roads of the
country should command national and
State appropriations and not burden
the local authorities with the cost Of

Green Forage for Hogs.


An especially timely bulletin has just
been issued from the Missouri Expert
ment Station by Dean III. J. Waters,
giving the results of some experiments
crops for hogs.
Thirty-six pigs weighing about fifty
pounds each were fed in lots on diff
ferent forage crops in connection with
ket, accurate account being kept of the
cost of gains made
IN cheapneSs OF gains the feeds used
ranked as follows: Corn and skim milk,
corn and red clover, third; corn and
bluegrass, fourth corn and rape, fifth :;
corn and ship stuff, sixth.
\ saving of about IS cents n hundred
in the cost of gain was effected by
using green clover instead Of fresh
bluegrass. A saving of 81 a hundred
was effected by using alfalfa instead
of bluegrass.
When it is realized that alfalfa
comes on early and when properly
clipped stays green all summer and
until the very hard freezes of early
winter, its Importance as a hog pas
ture is apparent. Clover yields more
forage per acre than bluegrass. and
as shown by these experiments has Il
much higher feeding value. 1t is Of
the utmost Importance therefore, to
provide this sort of pasture for hogs
rather than TO require them to run on
Il bluegrass pasture. or even worse than
bluegrass.a timothy pasture. or even
far worse than this, to confine them to
dry lot in the summer time. This
bulletin recommends a succession OF
crops for profitable hog pasture.

First Aid To Farmers.

struggled for twenty years on an
eighty-acre farm heavily mortgaged,
but had been unable to reduce his debt
or rise above a poverty that made the

He asked If there was any hope for
him upon the farm, or if he might as
well give up the fight. The department
requested that he make a detailed re-
port of his farm and its soils, and upon
this it based a plan Of farming, which
he was recommended to follow 10 the
letter. There was n profit the first
year of $1,000. and the department be-
lieves that ultimately the despised

Secretary Cortelyou
Has Resigned

Washington, Jan. Is. - Secretary
Cortelyou has resigned. This is re-
port that comes, coupled with his re-
turn from New York. One story cur-
rent is that the presidency of the
Knickerbocke Trust company has been
offered to him. The story runs that
Cortelyou resigned at the close of
stormy private session with President
Roosevelt, following cabinet meeting
some time ago, it being alleged that
Cortelyou's tenure of office in the cabi-
net was made impossible by a quarrel
which he had with PresidentR osevelt,
following representations made to the
president of Mr.. Cortely s alleged in
reference with Taft's plan of CAM
paign.
Immediately after that Cortelyou
left the treasury department and went
home, explaining that he was sick, of
grip. Since then he has recovered from
the grip, but has not been near the de-
partment. He has attended cabinet
meetings, and after each of them has
tried to persuade the president, that he
was as much entitled to the supportAof
the administration for the presidency
as Taft. The result of his failure, the
gossips say, is his resignation.
