PRICES FOR POULTRY DUE
TO PROAuSCUOUS BUYING

Usually there is more or less dis
satisfaction among farmers with the
price paid in the Fall for chickens.
Autumn invariably marks the low ebb
Of poultry prices, regardless of the
price of feeds. There are several rea-
sons for this. one of which is that
the market is flooded at this season
with poor quality stuff. and quality,
to large degree, determines the price
of perishable farm products.
The average farmer pays very lit
tie attention to the quality of the
surplus poultry he throws on the mar
ket when frosty weather heralds the
coming of winter, or at any other
season for that matter. He pays very
little attention to the poultry anyway
raising what he does usually with a
view to having plenty to use on the
home table and replenish the flock
of hens that are kept for eggs. Those
not needed or wanted for that purpose
are sold-cockerels, old hens and
roosters and unthrifty specimens OF
both sex

ADVANTAGES FOUND
IN POULTRY SOCIETY
Need to Weld Local Associations
Together to Produce
Better Eggs

Pennsylvania is great agricul-
tural State and within its boundaries
there are many thousands of people
interested in poultry. An immense
advantage could be gained for this
great and growing industry with all
these poultry keepers pulling to-
gether as a unit.
There are more than one hundred
local poultry associations in the State
whose membership alone, welded in
to one organization, would be the
largest livestock association in the
State. The number of local associa-
tions increases rapidly each year
without any organized effort to bring
about such increase.
Unfortunately, in most localities at
present, most associations are organ
lied for the sole object of holding an
annual poultry exhibition. Poultry
men see no other object in organiz-
ing and in localities where the hold
ing of show is not feasible there is
no association. There are, however,
other fields of usefulness in which
every poultryman should interest him
self. The important work and duty
of Pennsylvania poultry keepers to-
day is to produce more dozens of
choice eggs and more pounds Of quail
ity poultry flesh.
Poultry keeping is far from being
an exact science: the average hen will
lay seventy eggs in a year while a
good one will lay 200 or more; one
style of poultry house will keep the
flock in good health while another
will cause disease and failure; certain
feeds may be used more economically
than others. These and a thousand
other problems are yet to be worked
out before the commercial poultry
business will have progressed beyond
the haphazard stage.

Repair Bill Only $1.25 With
Abbott on $1,000 Mile Trip

A remarkable trip by Anna H. Kipp.
of Rutherford, n. j.. was reported to
the Abbott Motor Car Company, of
this city. C. D. Stewart, the district
manager for the eastern territory, re-
ceived letter stating that 10000
mile trip had just been completed with
a repair bill of only s1.25. This was
for a broken leaf in one of the springs.
A trip of this kind demonstrates the
efficiency and economy of the modern
motor car better than any theoretical
discussion of probable cost of upkeep.
A good standard car in the hands of
careful driver will render splendid
service to the owner and last as long
as any other reliable piece of me-
chanism.

no standard of weight fixed by law,
there would be no way of Furnishing
those who would give short measure.
If what is known as "stroke meas
ure" was practiced In the sale of sew
eral of the commodities the purchas-
ers would suffer great loss. For in
stance, bushel measure conforming
to the standard would not at stroke
measure hold sixty pounds of pota-
toes. The same would be true in
measuring apples or any commodity
of that nature.
"In fixing this standard weight for
the various commodities there was no
intention of working any hardship,
nor does it work any hardship to any
dealer. The real purpose of the law
is to protect the consumer from those
who in the past have made practice
of giving short weight and measure"
