Of Ramseur and held 1t against stub

rived. Early's main line, however, was
protected by woods and deep ravines,
and after advancing some miles Sheri-
dan found that he had to pass his in
fantry through one deile, and the time
consumed enabled Early to concentrate
his infantry at the point of attack.
Early Calls In Help.
Fortunate for Eaf4y that the whole
forenoon was thus consumed by he
Federal infantry In getting through the
long defile which lay between their
camp and the battle-ground. Being
warned by Wilson's daylight attack
that his foe was marching on Win
chester, he had hastily recalled the
divisions of Gordon and Rodes from a
distance to support the division Of
General Ramseur, which lay In the
works at Winchester alone that morn
ing. Thus by a couple of hours Sheri-
dan missed a chance to smash the
Winchester defenders. After getting
his infantry on the field Sheridan
formed the Sixth and Nineteenth corps,
Wright and Emory, with Crook In re
serve. Wright's divisions were led
by Generals Ricketts,, Getty and Rus
sell, and Emory's by Generals Cuvier
Grover and William Dwight. Crook
had two divisions under Colonel Joseph
Thoburn and Colonel I. H. Duval.
Getty, Ricketts, and Grover advanced
their divisions together against Ram
seur and were carrying the line when
the Confederate divisions Of General
R. e. Rodes and General John B. Cor
don, marching up from the rear, struck
the Federal line at the junction of
Ricketts, and Growers divisions and
threw them back.

corps had been in reserve behind
Ricketts,, and Sheridan sent Upton's
brigade, under Upton and Russell, to
regain the line. Russell was shot
through the left breast by a bullet, yet
he pressed on In the charge until a
piece of shell passed into his heart,

Bees for Gothamites.

It is a clever suggestion of Frank {
Pellet, state bee inspector of Iowa
that city fiat dwellers should plant 8
hive of bees on the window sill. Five
dollars will start swarm going, ane
the yield should be sufficient for s
year. The little animals are clear
and neat, of capable habits and few
vices. After days work in Centrai
Park they are guaranteed to return
home as faithfully as committing
husband.
1t may be protested that a city
swarming with bees would mean some
annoyance and pain. But this notion
ignores the well-known customs OF
New Workers. When a man has been
stung by his janitor, the Intefboro

member Of the cooperative egg sell
ing society. The woman who tests,
sorts and packs the eggs is paid fif-
teen cents for every one thousand
eggs passing through her hands. A
clerk from a neighboring dry goods
store attends to the billing and keeps
the books of the society, receiving
twenty-five cents for every one thou
sand eggs handled and recorded. Sum-
ming up all the expense incurred by
the society in collecting, testing, sort
ing, packing and shipping the eggs it
costs less than four hundred dollars
to market almost half million eggs.
The customers are obtained in the
first instance through the chamber of
agriculture at Hanover This is sort
of rural chamber of commerce which
among other things keeps an up-to-
date list of customers who are good
pay and who are honest dealers. Each
week the society ships large consign-
ments tc the various cities of the Ger
man Empire seldom finding it neces-
sary to export to foreign countries.
Experience shows that under this Ger.
man cooperative system of marketing
the cash returns upon each dozen Of
eggs are from three to six cents great
er than they were when they were
sold to the ordinary buyer. On the
other hand not penny has been added
to the cost to the consumers, who in
the majority of instances pat oopS
cheaper than they got them before and
of better quality. Tine more economic
less wasteful system of marketing
makes egg production more profitable
to the farmer, leads him to produce
more eggs, increases the supply. and,
by the soundest principles of practical

PARTY WITHOUT LIFE
Progressives Already Facing Ger
tain Disintegration.
Have Fallen to Third or Fourth. Place
In Almost Every Election Recent
ly Heid-Is One-Man Party,
With No Issue.

The Progressives today find them
selves a party without an issue. That
condition is the more precarious with
the opening of a congressional cam
paign only few months away and
governors to be elected in Massachu-
sets, New York and other states. In
New York the leaders of the party are
endeavoring to make a personality
supply the lack Of an issue. They
will ask Mr.. Roosevelt to accept the
Progressive nomination for governor.
They declare: Roosevelt will be our
issue" Apparently the Progressives
have forgotten that one reason Colo
mel Roosevelt left the country last
autumn was to give his party an op-
portunity to demonstrate that 1t was
not, as SO many have charged, "one-
man party" Instead of making any
headway, however, the Progressives
have fallen to the third or fourth place
in almost every election held save
that in Massachusetts. Even there the
party is today utterly bereft of an
issue. There, as in New York, they
are endeavoring to make personality
take its place. Again they will appeal
to Charles Sumner Bird to lead their
forlorn hope, in spite of his sacrifice
In two unsuccessful campaigns.
Doubtless Mr.. Bird hesitates to refuse
q third nomination lest he be charged
with deserting the party in its hour
Of direst need. Certainly there could
be no justification for such charge.
but that fact is no assurance that it
would not be brought. In their plat
forms the Democrats and Progressives
In Massachusetts, differ but little.
Both are against representative gov
ernment; both favor direct legislation
by means of the initiative and refer
endum. Governor Walsh has declared
for the recall, and that pledge is en-
bodied in the Progressive platform, al
though it was not emphasized by Pro
gressive candidates in the last cam
paign. The gradual dissolution of the
third party is clearly shown today
by this falling back upon personal
ity The Progressive party today is
what it has been since the day it was
born, one-man party, without an
issue. It's life may be prolonged by
artificial methods until after the next
congressional election. Before 1916,
however, its members will have been
absorbed by the two old parties.
All Point to Republican Success.
This disintegration of the Progress
sive party will have an important ef-
feet upon the political complexion of
the next house, and, coupled with some
dissatisfaction with the Democratic
administration, gives the Republicans
good grounds for hope. There are "a
districts now represented in the house
by Democrats where change Of from
two hundred and fifty to one thousand
votes will return Republican. There
Is not a district in Iowa which would
not be represented by a Republican
if the entire Republican and Progress
sive strength should be concentrated
upon single candidate. A similar
condition prevails throughout a large
number of districts in the North and
middle West.

How II Is Done in Europe and May Be Done 4

Farmer and Consumer
EGGS FOR EVERYBODY.

Copenhagen, Denmark. = Did you
know that the people in New York
alone eat one hundred fifty million
dozen of eggs every year and that
they cost something like forty-five mil
lion dollars? Did you know that an
expert has estimated that each year
America eats something like one thou
sand million dollars worth of eggs?
How Eggs Spoil.
When the farmer used to go to town
his wife went along with basket of
eggs containing possibly four or six
or ten dozen of them. These eggs were
delivered to the general country store
keeper and instead CT paying for them
in cash the merchar. gave trade in
exchange. The price of eggs was low
and when the price was further re-
duced by translation into sugar or cof-
fee at a high price the results were of
no great significance. Egg selling
then was in fact small business. AS
small business it was not for a long
time developed along scientific lines.
The hen laid only when the weather
was good. She laid fresh egg of
course, but it was likely to lie around
in dirty nest until time and a summer
heat mado 1t very bad egg to look
at and worse egg to eat. Not all
eggs spoiled but SO many went bad
that scattered through the lot sent in
by the farmer they lowered the grade
of all SO that even the freshest went
only as eggs because no one knew
they were strictly fresh
Strictly fresh eggs were practically
unobtainable as matter of fact. Aft
er the farmers wife delivered the eggs
to the merchant he kept them around
a few days or maybe weeks until he
had a fairly large shipment. They
might be in the cellar and they might
be in the back of the store where it
was warmer, but at any rate they
gained nothing in flavor or quality
from his storage. Then he sent them
to some merchant in the county
seat nearby. This dealer kept them
awhile until an accumulation made a
shipment possible to the city commits
sion merchant in Milwaukee, Boston
or Kansas City. They then might be
sold by the commission agent to the
retail trade or they might be put in
cold storage or they might be shipped
to some distant place. But you may
rest assured that it was some time be-
fore the egg laid on the farm found
its way to the breakfast table of the
city consumer. Much time had been
consumed, unnecessary expense had
been incurred in going through this
slow, unbusinesslike, unscientific sys-
tenn Of distribution. But worse than

lent institutions which demonstrate
that the cooperative procedure which
is good for the European hen upon the
continent of Europe is good for the
American hen upon American soil,
One of these is at Dassel, MINI.
These are the results in two years:
During the first year, the egg selling

cents dozen more for their product
than was paid for the miscellaneous
eggs on the same markets, thus max
ing over s22 per member.
The second year, the association

came success, while the Dassel Prod
uce company Ga private concern}
shipped 10000 dozen more in carton
box lots. In all, 10000 dozen eggs
were sent from this little town during
the year, for which these progressive
farmers received nearly $500G0 in
cash or $4,000 more than they could
have received under the old system
whereas only enough eggs were for
merly taken in trade at the village gro
cery. stores to supply the five hundred
people living in Dassel.
Other American COOPERATIVE Egg So
jcieties.
At Hickory, North Carolina, a co,
operative egg marketing grew out OF
and became engrafted upon cooper
ative creamery business. That the
existing cooperative creameriss car
easily and naturally assume the func
tions of an egg marketing institution
is evidenced by the success which
several Minnesota creameries have at
tanned in this line.

necessarily be a large organization

ducer to see that the egg reaches thu

the delay and expense involved was
the fact that the egg which started
down the line from the hen as "a
strictly fresh" egg had little chance
of reaching its destination as anything
but a bad egg.
A Wasteful, Expensive Process.
The whole process is wasteful. Last
summer in Missouri literally hundreds
of wagon loads of eggs were driven off
into the woods and dumped simply
because. they had gone bad upon the
hands of those who were not able to
market them promptly. Then too the
loss and damage from breakage is con-
siderable, and one authority has esti-
mated that the handling of eggs by
those who pack and ship them is so in
expert that each year seventy-five mil
lion dollars worth are broken and lost
in transportation.
Is it. any wonder that when eggs fin
ally reach the consumer they often
cost him more than twice what the
farmer received for them? Is it any
wonder that the farmer is dissatisfied
with the price he receives when it is
sometimes less than one-half what the
consumer pays. Is it any wonder the
city man kicks at the price which he
pays, kicks again when he finds that
the high priced eggs are bad eggs.
A Better, More BusinessIike Way.
Contrast this method of handling
with the way it is done by the cooper
ative organizations abroad Denmark
leads in egg marketing as in the mar
keting of almost every other farm
produce At Frederickssund in Den
mark, for example, ten thousand farm
ers own an egg packing establishment.
Every farmer gathers every egg from
the nest every day. In hot weather he
is required to gather the eggs twice a
day. At least three times a week he
sends in his eggs to one of the collect
ing points which are located conve-
niently. Thence they go to the CEN
trail station. They are good, clean eggs
too, for not only have they been
promptly gathered and kept in a cool
place, but the nests themselves are
kept clean and fresh. AS the egg is
delivered it is carefully tested; no egg
which is bad either in appearance or
in substance, passes muster Every
egg bears stamp indicating who de-
livered the egg to the association. The
farmer who sends in bad egg is
fined. These 10000 farmers through
their manager whom they hired and
who is highly skilled man, ship most
