A Chicago paper prints on the first
page of its Monday morning issue the
story of how Des Moines year or
two ago, after instituting her far famed
commission plan OF government. in
vented the public market as means OF
reducing the cost Of living.
Dubuque's Central market was hftE
years old before the Dies Moines plan
of city government was born. How :
ever this did not prevent Commissioner
John MacVickar. one Of the authors OF
the plan, from exhibiting a picture or
the Des Moines market at the Munich
pal Exposition at Chicago two years
ago and claiming it as one OF the pro-
ducts Of the commission plan. Dubuque
made a showing at the same exposition
and published comparisons OF prices al
DUBUQUE and Des Moines on Sept. 10,
1911. The comparison showed prices
materially lower at Dubuque than at
Des Moines on that date. The Greater
Des NIoines Committee nevertheless
continued to advertise the market as
Des .Moines invention. due to the com
mission plan. This is about as reliable
as all other information concerning the
plan and It's operation which Des
Moines has succeeded in having pub
lished in easy newspapers and fashy

BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
Plan of Farmers Association of
Moore and Lee Counties, North
CaroIina-lts Advantages

The Sand Hills Farmers ossocia-
ion of Moore and Lee counties.
North Carolina, is a young organiza-
ion as yet, and has no warehouse.
Still the members are determined TO
market their cotton comparatively.
Here is their plan:
The association will require of each
member who is willing to have his
cotton sold through its offices, a re-
fusal on said cotton until it has had
the opportunity of grading it, secur-
ing samples and submitting same to
the several large buyers and export
ers with whom the association is now
In correspondence. and in turn sub
hitting the resulting bids to the own
ers of the cotton.
The association is in the possession
Of set of government grades or
samples, which are open to the men,
bers inspection at the office of the
association at Pinehurst, and will Sc
cure the services of competent
grader, whose expenses are to be met
prorata by the members of the as
ISOLATION whose cotton he grades.
The association will guarantee what
cotton it sells to come up to the speci-
lied grade and will affix its seal to
every bale graded and sold through
Its offices and it will hold its men,
bers strictly responsible to protect
the grade of their cotton from the
time 1t is graded until delivered.
The association believes that by
adopting this plan the following ad-
Vantages will accrue to its members:
l. The grower will be paid the full
market price that the grade of his
cotton entities him to. which he has
not been getting from local BUYERS

Feeding Hens for Eggs.

Any good, healthy pullets will pro-
duce eggs profitably during the winter
months II they were Matched early
enough. regardless of the exact feed
ing method used. This fact is perfect
aiy true to a degree, and II we had to
choose between late Matching with
scientific feeding and early Matching
with unskilled, but plenteous feeding,
we would choose the latter every time.
The hen is not very particular
where she finds her food, and she has
an omniverous appetite. but nature
makes her balance up her ration
pretty we'll, provided she has access
to the various elements needed.
At the same time, the early-hatched
fowl will be benefited just as much by
scientific feeding as will the late
hatched one, and the few simple rules
governing poultry feeding should be
thoroughly understood and followed
by every poultry keeper.
BY scientific feeding we mean the
nearest practical approach to the ex-
act requirements of the fowls body
in producing eggs, tissue. heat and en-
ergy.
II hen needs pound of protein or
fiesh-forming food and needs only four
pounds OF fats and starches, we must
not feed all corn, because In this case
she will have to eat about twelve
pounds of starch to get her pound Of
protein, and the surplus eight
pounds Of AfMeh will be wasted, make
her too fatHtfAy or make her sick,
The whole secret is to mix the food in
order to save that surplus of starch
and make the hen lay at her top
speed.
Here is~hat yours foeks aassS have.
in order to do their very best for you:
Grain-They should receive mixed
grain twice day, about one handful
to the fowl, each feed. Cracked corn,
wheat and clipped oats makes an ex-
cellent mixture. Barley may be used
in place OF oats and kaffir corn Is a
good grain in the southwest. Do not
feed whole corn to hens in a mixture
as 1t is harder to digest and they neg
lect the rest of the mixture. Feed
grain in deep straw during winter
months.
Ground grain, or mash. Is absolutely
necessary for economical results. and
1t can be kept before them at all
times in an automatic hopper; an ex-
cellent mixture is two parts cornmeal,
one part middlings. one part bran, one
part oil meal, one part alfalfa meal.
one part meat meal.
Green food is essential to the fowls
health and the color and body OF the
eggs. Pasture in summer and alfalfa.
cabbage, clover. char. sprouted oats.
etc, In winter will serve the pur-
pose.
Vegetable food is necessary for
health. and semi-weekly feed of
