for their eggs than they could get by
marketing them locally. Is it not
worth while?
And now for our first problem: To
sell the eggs and get the best possible
price for them. But do you know
that l have used up SO much space
with the second part of the problem
that I have but little room for the
first part, though confess to think
ing that I have one or two fairly good
ideas on the subject. A better, hap
pier thought than any of these occurs
to me. If my poor presentation of
the matter, so far as [ have gone, has
aroused the interest of but a few of
The Ranch readers why not invite
them to exchange ideas upon the
subject and to themselves suggest
ways by which city customers may be
secured? This invitation l do here
with most cordially extend. Indeed,
if l have not succeeded in awakening
that much interest in the subject,
what use to go on with it myself?
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-08-15

In our last issue l commented upon
a capable little editorial from Mum
seys Magazine, advocating better
facilities for the shipping of farm
products by parcels post. Before the
paper went to press we were informed
of a material reduction in rates with
in the $50 mile zones Of the parcels
post, together with an increase in
weight of packages, which makes it
possible, at last, for the rancher to
use the postal service at a profit.
True, this extension and cheapening
of the service falls greatly short of
what the ranchers are entitled to, but
we must creep before we walk and,
now that the present administration
has shown SO favorable a disposition
to make of the parcels post service
able institution for the benefit of the
people who are most in need Of it, L
think we may confidently expect to
possess, within a few years, as good
service of this kind as is enjoyed by
any country in the world. Contrast
the disposition of the late incumbent
of the presldency-greatest of all
presidents, when adverdupoislcally
and his athletic young
postmaster general with but single
ambition, that of raising the postage
on the popular magazines which were,
oddly enough, solidly opposed to his
stout masters regime. Certainly the
parcels post was born into a world of
trouble and under most discouraglng
circumstances, but its present days
are better ones, and its future seems
quite roseate.
Now to get down to the subject of
making the parcels post, as lately i'm
proved and amended, the means of
decidedly increasing the profits of the
poultry raiser. 1t can be done, L am
sure of that; so sure that | am going
to volunteer a few suggestions myself.
Doubtless many Of The Ranch readers
will have ideas Of their own on the
subject aud l hope they will give the
paper the benefit of them. Suppose,
for starter, that we consider the
cost OF mailing eggs within the limits
of the favored zones.
The first zone includes the territory
within the local delivery of any Office,
and the first zone rate of postage five

cents for first pound and one cent for
each additional two pounds. or frac-
ton thereby will apply at any local
Office for local delivery or for delivery
by city carrier or on rural routes
emanating from that post office.
The second zone takes in all terri
tory up to $50 miles from the sender
post office and the rate Of postage is
five cents for the first pound and one
cent each additional pound. The
limit of weight for both these zones
is 20 pounds.
Now to ship eggs within the limit
of the first zone. The shipper, we
will suppose in this case, is rancher
living on one of the rural routes run
ming out of Seattle or Portland or
Bellingham or Tacoma, or any city or
town furnishing good market.
There are two factors Of Importance
in our problem, first, to get as
much as possible for the eggs; second,
to ship them as cheaply as possible,
consistent with safety.
A lono exnerience in SHINING eoos
bv express has shown me that the
hest and cheanest matbod of shining
eggs in small Quantities is in cartons
packed in omen TONED splint baskets.

nothing at all. Here, then, is the
total cost of packing the shipment OF
six dozen eggs:

second zone, five cents; making total
cost of shipment within $50 mile ra-
dius, 81 cents, or five and one-sixth
cents per dozen.
The total weight of the package,
without the eggs but including bas-
ket, cartons and excelsior, is only
two and one-half pounds and it would
be entirely practicable for the shipper
to arrange with his customer to return
four of these empty packages at a
time. The weight of the four PACK

"nest" that comes within the dimen-
sions allowed by the parcels post.

would be 10 cents; in the 100 mile
zone, Ia cents. After deducting the
cost of returning carriers, the saving
on cost of shipping one dozen of eggs
in either zone is two cents per dozen.
Suppose we allow but one and one
half cents per dozen reduction on
original shipping cost, figuring that
the packages will make but four round
trips by the time they are worn out
or lost. This saving brings the total
cost of shipping to shade less than
three cents per dozen in the first zone
and but three and one-half cents per
dozen In the $50 mile zone.
At the present time with eggs
wholesaling in Seattle at 33 and "a
cents per dozen and retailing at 40
cents per dozen or two dozen for IS
cents, there are many country people
living within the second zone who
can get but 27 cents per dozen for
their eggs at the country stores, and
have to trade it out at that. Suppos-
ing they could get but the lowest re-

W0MAN'S DEMANDS

CARS NOT UNREASONABLE
SAYS MANUFACTURER.
(By G. w. Bennett.

Woman demanded and has been ac-
she has demanded and Deer given near
ly everything else. necessary to her
comfort or Well-heing. And because
of her u%nfailing success in taking what
she: desires. woman has wrought a rev.
olution ~ the motor-car industry. Be
cause of her, the day of complete
equipment for automobiles was mater
tally fastened and she may sit back
now in "complacent satisfaction at hay
ing accomplished an important
achievement.
There is not an automobile manu-
facturer or dealer today who VII dis
pute the statement that woman is one
of the largest factors in the task of
selling cars. In a majority of cases
it is the. final decision of his Wife. sis
ter or sweetheart that settles for a
man the question which car he will
buy when making his first purchase.
And the number of women drivers of
every class, size, and style of car, is
growing by leaps In pounds. There
fore it is no more thar natural that the
deSlItS iilu HteuS Oh TIE woman must
be considered in manufacturing and
marketing a car.
In these days the gasoline-automo-
bile manufacturer who produces a car
without a reliable s~elf-starter loses
much business. Women cannot and
should not be expected to crank a mo-
tor every time. they wish to drive. To
them a motor hat requires hand
%cranking is a relic of the barbarous
days of automobiledom. Therefore al
high-grade cars are equipped with
self-starters. Without the speedom-
eter, to tell how fast and how far she
goes, the top and windshield to protect
her from sun. storm, wind and dust,
and all the other appliances which go
to make up complete equipment on the
new car, the average woman will feel
that h is being sighted. n her
aversion to the car without such equip
ment is not a mere Whim; it is a good,
sound, sensible attitude. The is no
reason for extra cost of equipment on
an automobile than for extra cost for
buttons on clothing.

Joseph G. Rodgers, Joseph H. Hol-

Representatives Mann, Burke, Martin

be held next week. A proposition to
have caucuses public was made, and
will be acted on next week.
Earlier in the evening a score of
the progressive republicans, an ele-
ment distinct from the progressive
third party. assembled in the office
of Representative Anderson of Min
nesota and discussed republican con
ditions. Most of them indicated their
purpose of participating in the caucus
of the regular republicans. This was
done on an understanding between
themselves that they would not feel
themselves bound by caucus action as
to Legislative matters. There was a
general sentiment, however, that the
policy of maintaining a party quorum
should be ~reragniZZe0 and there was
no disposition to oppose the regular
nominee of the republicans for the
speakership.
