The Congregational Church Society
has inaugurated several new ideas into
the church. For many years the pews
have been owned by various members
of the society. The plan is now to get
the pew holders to deed them to the
church with the conditions that the
owners shall have right to occupy them
during their lifetime and that they shall
not be assessed for any expense in
CURED in the repairs of the church as
heretofore has been the case. The pew
holders nave accepted tbs plan readily
and many of the pews decided. When a
person dies that has owned a pew the
| church has full ownership of the pews
and is then rented to other members
| The pastor of the church has started
| uron another plan which he believes
will save energy and win be for the
best good. He Will make no more parish
calls unless sent for, except in the case
of sickness. He announced from the pull

IMPROVE SYSTEMS OF MARKETING FARM CROPS
Uncle Sam Proposes Assist Solving Problems Confronting
Both the Producer and Consumer

try storekeeper or a city dealer in
agricultural supplies.
Market Places and Warehouses.
Public market places are estab-
lished in a number of cities and
towns, and in these places consumers
may buy such articles as fruit, vege-
tables, dairy products, poultry and
eggs direct from farmers as well as
from dealers.
Another institution which aids the
producer to dispose of his crop is the
public warehouse. Illustrations of
this are afforded in the marketing of
tobacco in Virginia and North Caro-
lima, wool from the northern Rocky
mountain states, and to some extent
rice in Louisiana and Texas. The
growers or their representatives,
with their produce, meet the buyers
at these warehouses.
Diversion i'm Transit.
While farm products are in transit
by mail, there are certain points at
which the consignor may designate
final destination. The purpose of
this practice is TO enable the con-
signor to find the best market for
his goods. This is the plan followed
in shipping fruits and vegetables by
rail from California to the east and
from southern states to the north.
Associative Marketing.
The secretary OF agriculture has
much to say concerning associative
marketing by farmers, and the eco
nomic advantages are stated in de-
tail. "A survey Of the systems of
marketing farm products clearly dis
covers what the farmers can best do
to their advantage. They must asso-
ciate themselves together for the pur-
pose of assembling their individual
contributions of products, of ship
ping in carload lots, of obtaining
market news at places to which it is
practical to send their products, to
sell in a considerable number of mar
kets, If not in many markets, and to

An Easy Tongue For Poesy.

Burns, of course, is untransatable.
for when he attempted common Eng
lish he was commonplace. But he took
his opportunity with the Scotch poets
who have the delightful language that
has no conSOnantS. You can rime
anything with anything. Scotch is the
easiest language for rme. Among the
most beautiful of Burns poems is
MARY Morrison" with
Yestreen when to the trembling string
The dance went through the lighted ha'
To thee my fancy took its wing:
sat. but neither heard nor saw.
But saw doesn't rime with hall un-
less you speak Scotch and omit the
consonants. You will perceive that a
Scotchman cannot help writing poetry
when he can make anything rime with
nything.-London Chronicle.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-01-23
Subjects for Investigation

Among the subjects whose investi-
CATION is suggested are the storage
of farm products either on the farm
or elsewhere pending their sale; the
business of commission dealers; the
various costs of marketing properly
itemized, and compared with prices
of products at the farm and with
consumers prices; a description of
principal markets and of chief pro-
ducing regions; and some problems
of transportation.
Some information with regard to
foreign markets, it is advised, might
be made useful to producers. II is
proposed also to keep an elaborate
record of prices of farm products in
which prices at the farm shall be par-
alleled by wholesale and retail prices.
Among the other recommendations
are the maintenance of a list of mar
keting associations and the collection
of statistics concerning the business
done by them; the investigation of
systems of marketing farm products
in other countries, with special at
tention to those features which it
may be assumed might be adopted
beneficially in this country.
Proposal to Aid Consumers.
The secretary of agriculture closes
his recommendations by making one
concerning the participation of con-
sumers in the solution of marketing
problems. "A cheapening of farmers
costs of marketing will naturally re-
suit in gain to the producer rather
than to the consumer If the con-
sumer is to gain by changes in the
costs of distribution, it seems prob
able that he must do so through
cheapening or eliminating costs at
his end of the chain of distribution.
The consumers can cheaper the costs
of farm products by cooperative buy
ing and by reducing the expenses of
retail and other local distribution.
The consumers aspect of the prob
lens of the distribution of farm
products is conspicuous one at the
present time, and problems in dis
tribution that are concerning the con-
sumer rather than the producer may
well be included within the service of
a division of markets"
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-01-23

secure the various other economic
gains of associative selling"
To carry out this suggestion, it is
recommended that if congress estab-
fishes a division of markets, a corps
of travelling field agents be main
tanned to assist farmers to form as
sociations for marketing their prod
ucts.
Estimates of Fruit and Vegetable
Supply.
1t is also recommended that esti.
mates of the prospective supply OF
fruits and vegetables, and perhaps
other products not now represented
in the quantitative estimates of the
departments crop-reporting service,
be made a short time before harvest,
so that the farmer may have in
mind a fairly definite idea of the vol
ume of the crop throughout the
country in order that he may occupy
a place in the market that is fair to
himself or, as the case may be, a
place in the market that is fair to
the consumer"
General market news service is not
recommended. If such service were
derived from telegraphic reports. the
expense would be enormous. One
farmers marketing association
spends $4,000 year in telegraph
ing aolne and a fruitgrowers' organ
ization spends $4,000 for this SER
vice.
Field Agents and Correspondents.
1t is proposed that corps of trav-
cling field agents and a large corps
of local agents and correspondents
be established for the following
items of service: To help producers
for associative marketing;
to examine and remove local Difficult
ties in the way of such marketing;
to help producers to find markets;
to report the current descriptive con-
dition of crops, in addition to the
work already done by the depart
ment's crop-reporting service; to es-
innate the probable production of
crops a short time before harvest; to
report the beginning and ending of
the shipping season; to report the
crop movement from producing
points through "gateways" to princi-
pal markets.

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY.
1t Is True Weasel, but Is Only About
Six Inches Long.

Six Inches Long.
The smallest carnivorous animal in
the world is an American weasel which
is numerous in northwest Canada and
Alaska and is occasionally seen about
the great lakes. 1t is true weasel.
but only six inches long. with a tail
only one inch in length. All its upper
surface is in summer pure umber
brown, but the throat. abdomen and
inside of the legs are pure white. and.
unlike any other weasel, it has no black
at the end of the tail: hence. although
the animal turns white in the north in
winter, it does not show the black
tipped tail which characterizes an err
mine pelt, and so it is not sought by
trappers and fur traders.
This fact. with its small size and Sc
cretive life, has made its habits very
little known. but they seem to be much
like those of other weasels 1t feeds
on insects, which it finds alive in sum-
mer and in winter digs out of rotten
logs; upon small birds, etc, but lives
mainly on mice. These it can follow
into their narrOwest holes and run
ways, for it is scarcely larger than
field mouse itself, or, striking the trail
of one, it will trace all its wanderings
and as soon as it catches sight of its
prey will spring after it with amazing
and fatal rapidity.
1t is frequently caught by naturalists
in their mouse traps. An old Indian
told w. II. Osgood of the biological
survey, who thus captured one in south
ern Alaska, that it was a promise of
rare good fortune. His brother. he re-
lated. had taken one when boy and
had in consequence become big chief.
A good name for this least of the car
nivores would be mouse hunter" 1t
is known to science as Putorius rixo-

SCIENTIFIC PUZZLES.
Some Queer Things One Learns In the
Study of Chemistry.

Every one knows that the diamond is
only charcoal cryStallized, but there
are Il great many other things in ma
ture that, though possessing widely
different properties, are composed Of
exactly equal quantities of the same
elements.
The white of an egg and rattlesnake
poison are formed of identically the
same amounts of the same elements.
The oil of roses and common coal gas
are each formed alike, both being COM
posed of four atoms of hydrogen and
four atoms of carbon.
Sugar and gum arabic are likewise
brothers Of the same weight and tex
ture.
All the hydrocarbons, known to sci
ence as combination of sixteen atoms
of hydrogen and ten atoms of carbon.
are alike in their composition. To
enumerate some-oil of orange, lemon,
cloves, ginger and black pepper.
The suggested explanation of these
peculiarities is that the atoms are plac-
ed differently toward one another in
the molecules of the different sub
stances.
Other things Just as peculiar are evi-
dent when certain substances are unit
ed chemically. Thus hydrogen gas,
which is odOrless, and nitrogen gas.
which is also Odorless, when united go
to make ammonia. which has a very
strong odor. Copper, which has no
odor. and zinc. which also has none,
when melted and mixed to give us
brass produce substance with very
characteristic one. - Chicago Record
