(By NJ. X. BOYER.)

''F 49,
An English journal says that when
they have a look at the average Eng,
fish farmers egg basket and a CONT
mental & box there is much to be-
seen and learned therefrom.
In the farmers basket will be found
eggs OF all sizes, shapes, tints and
colors. There has been no attempt at
grading or uniformity. If a farmer
gets an even lot Of Eggs. all brown, he
can sell them at ii for 20 cents "a
shilling, but he would have to sell
fifteen eggs Of his jumbled-up lot foF
the same price. The continental eggs
are all evenly and securely packed, all
Of one color, and graded according to
size. .
The condition Of he English farm.
er's egg basket Is very much like the
egg basket of the American farmer.
There is a reason for 1t. So long as
the farmer will continue to harbor
mongrel poultry he is sur to have all
colors and sizes of eggs. Nothing but
a well-selected and well.b bred strain of
a single breed will give the desired
uniformity. 9
In England there are two or three
methods employed by poulterers for
killing their stock. One by neck
stretching, by which the fowl is seized
by the hooks. the finger and thumb of
the free hand being placed on the
poll and the neck Is stretched until
the spinal cord Is ruptured. Death Ia
instantaneous. as well as painless, and
the blood flows down into the cavity
OF the neck.
The other method is to secure the
fowl as above, stun II by Means of a
smart tap at the base of the skull,
then open it's beak and thrust a sharp
knife down It's throat and withdraw 1t
rapidly by pressing the keen edge
against the back OF the throat.
The beak is then rinsed and the
legs scrubbed with a stiff brush and
| soapy water, which makes them bright
and clean for simple trusting for
market.

There is considerable competition
etween the two companies, which,
taken in connection with the sharp
competition Of the rivers and canals,
lnsures a very good service. Each
company pays a rental to the state
for the lines belonging thereto which
1t operates, and each must share with
the state In its profits over five per
cent, which in face of the competition,
the extremely low rates and the excep-
tional handicap under which the lines
are worked is highly creditable to the
management. In 1908 dividends were
only three per cent.

dread strikes as they dread the effect
upon net earnings of granting merely
such demands for higher pay as they
privately believe to be reasonable.

the higher schedules began to go into

agriculture. This means that a large
degree of local administration follows
the organization of an association, and
as a matter of business the stockmen
of this state should take advantage
of the opportunity to the fullest ex.
tent.
The chief problem that the Utah
stock grower has had to meet Is that
of providing summe range for his
stock. or winter range Utah has an
abundance, the large deserts alone be-
ing enough to support the sheep of the
state in a normal winter. In addition.
Utah is thickly dotted with pros
porous farming communities where
the quantities of forage produced are
oftener in excess of the demand than
otherwise. and where in many cases
he feeding of live stock affords the
only means of disposal. This condi-
ton created a keen demand for spring
and summer ranges. a demand compli-
Gated by the strong competition be-
tween the stockowner who winter
grazed his stock at points remote from
the summer range. and the owner who
winter fed his stock upon the
products OF his ranch adjacent to the
summer grazing lands. The result was
not hard to forecast. Ranges became
poorer and less productive each year,
stock deteriorated in weight and quail
ity, and losses were heavier. This
was the condition that existed when
the national forests were placed under
the present system of grazing control.
The forests occupying, as they do, the
higher and more mountainous por-
tons of the state, exert a considerable
influence upon the summer range prob
siderable percentage Of the summer
range Is located.
Few outside of the interested stock
growers are aware of what has been
accomplished by reasonable regulation
and control within a very few years.
The dwellers In certain towns, and
the ranchers In certain communities
know that the watersheds upon which
they are dependent have been protect.
ed by the proper regulation of gra-
zing. The stockmen know that the
numbers of stock allowed have been
reduced to the actual carrying ca.
pacity OF the range but not below It:
that the ranges have been equitably
divided between the different classes
OF stock. and the owners; that the
small rancher remote from market
centers who must dispose of his crop
and gain his livelihood by raising and
feeding cattle Is provided with a range
adequate to his needs: while at the
same time full consideration Is given
to prior use OF the range by the stock
growers who winter their stock on the
deserts. Extensive Investigations are
being conducted for the purpose OF i'm.
