COOPERATIVE EGG MARKETING.

The patrons or creamy within fifty
or sixty miles OF Duluth. Mimi, have
inaugurated a system of cooperative
egg marketing that might well be
adopted in many other rural communi-
ties where poultry raising Is carried
on as a side line with the dairy bust
ness. Briefly. the plan is as follows:
The patrons enter into an agreement
to collect their eggs daily, wash them
If necessary, stamp on them the date
on which they were laid, separate
white eggs from brown and deliver
them at the creamery in packages
bearing their individual name and la
bel. When sufficient number Of eggs
have been received they are shipped
In refrigerator cars with the butter
product to Duluth. which is the mar
ket center for this particular section.
Using the care that the producers do
In packing. the eggs do not have to be
candled or otherwise handled at the

hshed for these certified eggs. with the
result that the farmers who produce
them are receiving from q. TO 10 cents
per dozen more for them than for eggs

marketed In the usual slipshod man
ner. There is no patent on this plan,
and Il IL one that the patrons Of every
creamery might look into seriously.

THE GRIMM ALFALFA.

Grimm There had been grown for
three or four hundred years In the val
ley where he made his home a strain
Of true alfalfa. But In Grimm's patch
this became crossed with the wild vel
low lowered sickle lucerne. At this
stage Of the game. In 1857. Grimm

county, MINI. and. I'D good fortune
would have II. brought with him few
pounds Of seed from this mixed field
and sowed t. Most Of the plants which
tho seed produced died, but a few
lived. and In time this type or alfalfa
got used to 20 and 80 degrees below
zero weather Of the Minnesota winter.
Grimm made money raising At, and %
did his nelghbors. but only recently has
the full value Of the service rendered
by this hardy Teuton been appreciated.
That he succeeded in producing type
OF alfalfa possessing exceptional hardi-
ness was shown not long ago when
plants raised from seed procured from
