Gold and Bread and Beef.

Some very interesting statistics have recently been published by the labor department of the British Board of Trade. They deal with the value of the sovereign in terms of the necessities of life. Twenty shngs have of themselves no actual value What they have is statutory value.

Thus how it fairly be said that the value of a sovereign fluctuates in terms of those things without which the sovereign would have no value at all, namely, labor and the necessities of life

The decrease has been nearly steady There a slight appreciation in the purchasing power this coin in 1904. but the next year it dropped back again what it in 1903; it rose again in 1906 to what it was in 1904. dropped again the year to figure lower than what it had stood at in any previous year The decline continued for two years when there was a slight upward tendency; then it made marked fall: then slight rise; but in 1912 it reached the lowest level attained

Co-Operative Marketing

For years there have been many students of the high cost of living Many causes have been suggested and many solutions have been proposed. Some have treated the subject lightly and have suggested is high because living s high
 Some think that the solution will be found in the revision of the tariff but those who have compared rates of the present tariff with the the proposed tariff they have been made public, to those articles which call the necessaries life, find little prospect of relief by tariff legislation Though the difference seems large a little calculation shows that very little O benefit the proposed reductions will reach the consumer.
 Thursday there closed Chicago the first national conference marketing and farm credits" three days This ference arranged by clear -vsioned who had dscerned the chief of the high Hring-the great waste that takes place between the orchard field the producer and the home of the consumer
 Bumper crops, such the country has raised several years. worth nothing if the farmer raises them without profit and the time the the products to the consumer is not lowered. great volume these crops might better have been produced all. For O market which they could proitably taken, d part of the crop has been wasted ground where it raised. More of it has been wasted under unscientihc system of distribu- tion in outrageous profits to middemen.

 II realized by the promoters of the that the first step in solution o the problem after making careful study of ditions, make exhaustive study operative marketing methods in other countries especially in Holland, Great Britain France and Germany, where cooperative methods have reached comparatively advanced stage
 The conference was held for the purpose of bringing the best students of the problems of cooperative marketing and agricultural credits to- paving the way both a immediate improve of the present situation and for a greater improvement after further study,
 It may be said that it is not expected that this shall become a national movement. Students believe that it be best carried by the states. but the work of the national conference. it believed will be great importance in offering solutions of problems common to all the states.

"GOING TO LAW"

of a contrary intention shown by the

respect to the quality or condition of
the property the purchaser buys al

err or not a steady market can be de
veloped for it. Being a perishable
product, very much like cottage
cheese, it will keep only a few days.
The fact Of the matter is there Is
very little difference between butter
milk cheese and cottage cheese, ex-
cept that the former has a buttermilk
flavor.
Packing and selling this cheese re-
quire special attention since the pub
lie is not familiar with the product.
1t may be shipped in butter tubs and
retailed in paper pals or other small
packages. 1t will keep for a week or
ten days in a temperature Of so to GO
degrees. but it can be kept longer If
the temperature is lowered to 81 de-
grees or below.
Buttermilk cheese has been sold at
to 5 cents a pound at the factory and
retailed at I to 1912 cents. If color is
desired this may be secured by adding
cheese coloring as used in cheddal
cheese.
The making of this buttermilB
cheese is inexpensive, as the drainage
racks, Siphons, etc. a be constructed
by any one, When only a very small
amount is desired the ordinary uten
sils of a creamery can be utilized.

Dry Feed or Wet Mash?

The wet mash of cornmeal and bran
that used to be the standard morning
feed of the farm flock seems to be go
ing u of style in favor of the hopper
full of a mixture of dry ground grain.
The new plan is better for large 1ocks,
but for a small flock the wet mash has
advantages. For one thing it is easier
to keep up the water supply than
where the fowls are given all dry
grain. Another point is that the con-
slant presence of dry feed attracts
rats, while the wet mash as usually
fed will be eaten up clean.-American
