THE ASHLAND DAIRY PLAN-u
BIZ ROY Fl. BEEBE,

Sec. Ashland Cooperative Dairy Co.
What Of the success of the Ashland
Dairy plan? A question, asked of the
commercial club of Ashland, Wis, re-
eardlng its cooperative COW buying
and rural credit experiment
A revolving fund of $4,000 was
placed IN the hands of two trustees
py two local national banks, thus keep
ing local money at home, formerly sent
10 larger money centers. Five carloads
OF nigh grade and registered Guernsey
and Holstein foundation stock were
Drought to Ashland within six months
The Commercial club (by the co-opera-
tive buying PLAN had the assistance of
experts of the college of agriculture
anu the United States department of
agriculture. In pooling the purchase
OF some fifty pioneer farmers the pro
rata expense Of making the purchase
dncluding freight and all incidental
expenses was $7.75 on the first lot and
$4.6O on the last lot for each animal.
mus far, farmers have met monthly
payments and interest obligations faith
fully. 1t is strictly business propo-
s1tion, and new settlers realize thew
are establishing credit with local banks,
guarding jealousy their regulations
Tor making prompt payments, so one
serious objection urged against the
plan has proved unfounded. The inter
est rate charged farmers is per cent
fnr ;e,l
from national banks by trustees at 6
per cent, the difference Of 1 per cent in
the interest rate being sufficient to pro-
vide for incidental expenses. BY loan
Ing national bank funds through two
trustees the necessity is avoided of
short time loans to farmers. The trus-
tees renew their paper every three
months, while farmers notes run for
three years. AS farmers are reduc-
ing their obligations monthly. the mon
ey is returned to the trustees revolv-
Ing fund and made available for pur-
chase of more COWS as farmers in
crease acreage of cleared land, and
can provide feed for more stock.
The moral effect of the scheme has
been most encouraging and dairying
is now the focus of the efforts Of bust
ness men and farmers. Three new
creameries have begun operations
prices of butter fat are > cents above
the Chicago market and cream checks
are in evidence in bank clearngs.
Farmers around Ashland realize they
are on trial. and business men of Ash
land, who have guaranteed banks
against loss. take helpful interest in
the success of their farmer friends.
The old spirit of suspicion and misun-
derstanding has disappeared which for
merly existed between rural and city
residents, and banks are extending
credit accommodation to farmers who

laid down to grass, and he said that the
rea thus gained had paid the .axes on
the whole field
Of course the farmer without capital
and whose working capacity is impaired
by advancing years may learn much by
observation of the operations of more
fortunate neighbors, and by attending the
Farmers Institutes, that will tighten his
labors and tend to his pecuniary profit.
Here is an illustration that came to the
notice of the writer. A farmer with the
assistance of a member of his family had
begun to hoe half acre in potatoes. 1t
was new ground, broken up the fall be-
fore, and full of witch grass. 1t was
hard hoeing. A relative of the farmer
happened along and said to him, why
don't you use your horse and plow?" II
don't know how" was the reply. go
and get the horse and pillow and l will
show YOU" The pillow was then run
through between the rows, and the hoes
followed up. and in few hours the work
was done, and better done than after
many days labor with hoes alone.

Seven college presidents and number of
college instructors. including exPresdent
Taft, will contribute to The Youths Com
panion during 1914.
Then there is Gene Stratton Porter. whose
stories of Indiana woods and swamps have
made her famous, and Kate Douglas Wiggin,
who never wrote dull line in her life, and
Mrs. Burton Harrison, who remembers when
conversation was really an art as practised in
Washington and in the manor houses of Vir-
ginia. And this is just beginning of the
list.

Disappearance of the Progressive Vote.

Another lesson of the elections is the
disappearance Of the Progressive, or
third party, vote. In New Jersey, where
Roosevelt last year received las, 900 votes,
Colby, the Progressive candidate for
Governor, this year poIlei only 10000
ballots, notwithstanding the fact that he
is popular and by no means niggardly as
to campaign expenses. In Maryland the
Progressive vote was so small as hardly
to be worth recording. In New York,
while the Progressives elected some ff-
teen or seventeen Assemblymen, the
party, as whole, did not cast enough
votes to prevent Republican victory.
Only in Massachusetts did the Progress
sives hold their own, and in that State
the Republican candidate for Governor
committed political hara-kiri by repudl-
ating his party platform and denouncing
his party organization. In the local con-
tests in the various States the Progress
sives did not materially figure. Wash.

OBTAINING AND DRESSING
MARKET POULTRY
BIZ r.. i. LINRFRT


Poultry Instructor, Il. l. State College.
The best poultry markets call for
chickens with yellow shanks and flesh.
full, round breasts and plump, meaty
bodies. The market qualities of any
flock may lie improved from year to
year by careful selection of the breed
ing birds. The average chicken is
usually at it's best when around six
months of age, having reached normal
growth. Their market condition is
often impr."ed by caging birds two
weeks before killing and feeding fat
tening rations composed of cornmeal
moistened with milk. No matter
whether they are especially fattened
or not care must be taken as to the
quality of their food. Tainted meat,
fish or pungent favored vegetables,
such as onions or garlic, injure the
quality of market poultry.
The last meal should be fed twelve
or twentyfour hours before killing.
The crop is then devoid of food and
intestines nearly empty. The best mar
kets demand dry picked poultry, and
scalded stock is usually sold at low
prices, because it is disfigured and the
keeping qualities injured The best
method OF killing is to suspend the
bird by stout cord, slipnooSed around
the shanks. and hanging the body head
ot l.
ing. With Il billet of hard wood give
the bird quick rap on the head SO as
to stun it, open its mouth. inserting 4

Then grasp the wings with one hand
and with the other begin to pick feath-
ers from the breast and parts of the
body where the skin is tender and east
ly torn. AS soon as the bird ceases
struggling both hands will be free to
remove feathers. Pick clean with the
exception of head and the short feath-
ers on last joint of wing tips.
When the weather is warm as soon
as birds are picked clean they should
be immersed in cold or iced water I'M

PRACTICALLY CLEAN MILK
By C. B. LANE,
Department Of Agriculture.

Department Of Agriculture.
The reason milk sours is because it's
dirty. There's sample Of milk in a
college laboratory that is ten years old
and sweet. This is clean milk. 1t is
not necessary, however, to produce
this kind of milk. Next to clean milk
there is certified milk, which is found
in all cities. This is produced under
direction Of county medical milk COM
missions, which have strict regulations
as to production. Cows must be wash
ed, kept clean and healthy, stables
kept scrupulously clean, mixers pro-
nounced healthy by physician, be
clean and wear special suits. Milk
must be drawn and handled under san
itary conditions and not contain over
10000 bacteria to the C. c. Fifteen
drops.
Certified milk interests only few dali
rymen. Many are anxious to produce
milk practically clean. better than the
ordinary product, and which returns
better prices than commonly received.
This is not difficult to accomplish.
Hundreds do it successfully and in
stead of receiving cents per quart re-
ceive and sometimes 6 cents. What
are the requirements for producing
this milk? 1t requires no expensive
stables or expensive equipment. A
few changes often place lust milk"
in the practically clean milk class.
The first requirement is healthy cows,
for if cows producing the milk are not
healthy all efforts in care and handling
are fruitless. A reputable veterinarian
must examine the cows and give a
clean bill of health. Another require
ment is the constant use of currycomb
and brush. Feed clean and wholesome
food, taking care that dusty hay or
food is not fed before or during milk
ing, dust being carrier of germs
The farmer must change the old barn

ceilings, put in cement floors or cork

Accuses Wilson of Treason

In addressing a Republican rally in
Baltimore Senator Albert B. Cummins,
of Iowa, criticised President Wilson in
strong terms for his alleged encroach-
ment upon the executive power of Con-
gress. Describing the methods which
he declared were used TO bring the men,
bers into line, Senator Cummins said, in
speaking of the tariff, that lit is prod
uct of a secret caucus coerced by the
President, who is forgetting the line of
power that separates the executive from
the legislative branch. He swore to up
hold the constitution, and in acting as he
did he committed treason when he vio-
lated the very instrument he has sworn
to protect and obey"
