merely incidental and the success of
the organization in no wise depends
upon them. When whole cargoes of
potatoes are sent to New York and
other markets it is very likely other
products of the farm are sent along to
get advantage of the cheap transporta-
fion. The main point is that there are
two staple products which every men,
Der of the association produces. thus
assuring ample supply, uniformity of
pack and certainty of a market.
Diversity of products, lack of uni
formity in quality and pack and uncer-
tainty of supply are the main difficult
ties back of the problem our commit
tee is called upon to solve. Let us
take Mrs. Bill Jones for an example:
Suppose she brings to the central sta
ton on the evening preceding mar
ket day six dozen ears of sweet corn,
two pecks of string beans, twenty
punches of onions, five dozen eggs, four
dressed chickens and seven pounds of
homemade butter.
A Difference in Quality.
Mrs. Sam Smith may bring practically
the same load, but the things Mrs.
Smith brings are all Of superior quail
ity and pack to those brought by Mrs.
Jones and will sell for from 10 to 20
per cent more. How is any return go
ing to be made that will satisfy both
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith? Even were
it possible to tag Mrs. Jones partic-
ular things through to the buyer, max
ing her an exact return, she would
never be convinced that she should
not have received as much money as
did Mrs. Smith. On the other hand,
were all the produce put together and
returns made on averages, Mrs. Smith
certainly would have cause for COM
plant that her superior goods brought
her no better prices than Mrs. Jones
inferior ones did.
That is how the problems of diver
sity and lack of uniformity apply to
the producing end. The matter of I'M
certainty of supply has to do with the
selling We can't take on regular Gus.
toners unless we can give assurance
that their wants will be supplied The
most attractive proposal advanced is
that We sell to circles of housewives
but housewife who orders sweet corn
and tomatoes isn't going to be satisfied
to take, instead, carrots and turnips
just because there wasn't enough corr
and tomatoes TO go round.
Commission House Plan.
Several commission houses have of
fered to take everything we have to
sell. but they want to do business with
the club as body. and will not under.

ALI Breeds Are Now Kept.

AS near as our statistics show, about
5000 hens are now kept by members
of the club, of every known breed ana
variety, and ranging in quality from
fairly good to worthless. These would
have to be kept through the coming
wear. of course, but I wouldn't have
single egg Matched from them. m
stead. I'd have the club start In right
now and engage for each member as
manv Matching eggs of the agreed-upon
breed as he wanted, letting the MEM
bers do their own Matching In their ac-
customed way. We could get these
Matching eggs at SO small an advance
over the value of table eggs, by taking
large quantities, that it would not De
a hardship upon any one.
During the summer Wouio nave
built a central depot at the station,
with office accommodations, and would
construct an incubator cellar and in
stall an incubator. The depot should
be large enough not only for pack

should be ample storage capacity Ior

poultry would be marketed alive. But
should table poultry be made the CHIEF
feature with eggs only as side line,
the club would have to maintain
killing and packing plant at the depot,
for the success OF the Undertaking
would then depend largely on the care
and skill with which the chickens were
dressed and packed. To get the best
results the club probably would have
to buy the chickens from members in
an unfinished conditio nand fatten

Accessible to Markets.

Think what an advantage we would
have over the Tennessee poultrymen in
the matter of distance from market
Good management would make us fa-
nous for the quality of our table
poultry and the freshness of our eggs.
and who can doubt that a measure of
prosperity would come to take tho
place of the bare existence which is
now the portion of a majority of the
families in our community?
Laying aside entirely the question of
profit to myself-and goodness knows
| am anxious enough to make a sue
cess of my farm experiment--I would
like to be identified with putting
through such an undertaking. 1t seems
to me it would be worth while work,
and so far in life I have never done
anything worth while except make a
living for my family.
1 have talked the matter over with
several members and l know 1 am
going to have some support for the
plan Mr.. Brown. who is one of the
few men around here who Is making
money by general farming. is for it.
and his support is bound to be an In :
duential factor. He has 175 acres of
good land, every bit of 1t under culti-
yation. and he Is rapidly building up a
profitable dairy herd, but he says he
would undertake to keep three or four
hundred chickens.

Made Tennessee Prosperous.

The thing that has made east Tennes-
see milk-fed chickens so famous in the
New York and other markets is the
skill employed in fattentng them and
the care with which they are dressed
and packed. The fattening and slaugh
ter of chickens in the Tennessee broiler
centers is done by private corporations.
but / can see no good reason why 1t
should not be done with equal success
by cooperative association. 1t Is
enthusiastically admitted in east Ten
nessee that since the development OF
the chicken business the farmers of
that region have made more money
than they ever made before. On many
of the farms the chickens have been
taken over by the women and girls and
the farmers wives have achieved in
dependence financially, many of them
having substantial bank accounts;
whereas. few years ago. they thought
themselves lucky to get one new calico
dress a year.
l don't know whether 1 can make
my fellow club members see this thing
tain, our community is In crying need
of some such plan to organize and sys-
tematize effort There are very few
really successful farmers in our neigh
borhood. For one thing, the land isn't
good. Why, ! can stand in my front
door and see several hundred acres OF
| land that isn't cultivated at all, be-
cause it isn't worth cultivating But

and would make ideal runs for

 PLEASED WITH SILO

 Dec. IS, 1914. Moore and Martin,
 Prescott, Ark.
 Gentlemen:-
 Tn answer to your inquiry concern Ing the success of my silo will say, nave been feeding the enslage about a month and now think it. a complete success. Last spring l planted three acres With corn and Egyptian Wheat, hrst planting the corn deep in the row with a drill and then went over the same row drilling in the egyptian wheat. The rows were three feet apart and aside from running a har- row once between the rows, I gave the crop no cultivation. 1 got forty tons of enSilage from the three acres. am feeding two milk cows, fourteen helfers, three mules and one horse and excepting the milk COWS I feed noth. ing but the ensilage. The milk cows get quart of cotton seed meal and two quarts of shorts with thirty pounds of silage per day. Since starting on this feed the cows have increased the flow of milk over fifty per cent. My stock is now in better condition than usual at this time of the year. This crop and filling the silo did not cost me over twenty-five dollars. It is my first experience with the silo and I am more than pleased with it. Next year I expect to plant some COW peas in with the Egyptian Wheat and corn.
 Yours Truly,
 GUY N. GARNER. P. S.-l neglected to say in the above that the forty tons of ensilage will be all the feed I will need to carry my stock through until grass comes in the spring.

ursREPRESENTING ACT NO. 3

coueral senators who spoke and vot- d for the repeal of Act No. 5, the pnbl;citv Act, last Thursday, did not ao.;+ate to attack the fairness and in tssritv of the press. They charged that only one side of the question was anon to the people because the news napers all favored the act and refused to open their columns to discussion by those against it.
 Th;c statement was made little too ,oslouslv. too partisanly to be accept ad literally by anyone. There may have been few papers which per mitted only one side of the question to go to the people, but the vast ma iority opened their columns to a pro- and con discusson, and urged the opp onents. as we'll as the advocates of the pblicity act, to express their views. The editors, almost as unit, set forth the fact that they had nothing to put over" the people, and wanted Act No. 3 passed by an intelligent and an informed majority.
 Thirteen newspapers of the State opposed the Publicity Act, and many of them gave statewide circulation to their daily and weekly editions contin. ing attacks on the act. No other leg islative matter ever presented the State had such discussion before its adoption as did Act No. 8.
 Analysing the returns, we find that where the bitterest opposition was manifested toward the Publicity Act there the bill received its strongest support. The interest was more in tense and support more heartily given where it was opposed than in those counties where it was not necessary to make fight against the oppoaition to the measure.
 The most vigorous opposition was in Greene County, where the Para gould Daily Press and the Weekly Sol lphone waged strenuous fight against the act. However, Act No. 3 carried every ward in ParagOuld and the county by majority of 561. Polk county, the home of Senator Lmdy, next may be considered. The senator, as editor of the Polk County Democrat, fought the Publicity Act Tn virtually every issue of his paper. Not only that, but he used his person. al and political influence to bring about the defeat of the bill, and yet Act No. , received a majority og 30 votes in rOlk county! In Mir. Lundy's sena- 'oriai district, where his influence should have been felt. if ever any where, the Publicity Act received a majority of 4SO.

PROGRESS OF THE RED POLLS
From Breeders Gazette.

iOiii piNNtNi c NtHSSON'
 It was the aim of the Red Polled Cattle Club of America when found ing the advanced registry for Red Polls few years ago to make it practically, to fit in and work in har- mony with the conditions found on any intelligent farmers farm, so that the results obtained would be an in- dication of the real worth of Red Polls as a dual-purpose breed. The rules of eligibility not only call for dairy production but the individuality of the animals must be of high degree. A bull to be eligible to advanced reg istry must be the sire of two or more daughters which have been admitted to this registry on officially authenti cated butterfat records, and scale at least so points of the official scale of points, and must weigh not less than l 800 pounds in live weight. A COW to be eligible must scale at least 80 points of the official scale of points and weigh not less than HOO pounds. Only such cows as have made official ly authenticated butterfat records of not less than 6,000 pounds of milk or 300 pounds of butterfat in twelve months shall be eligible.
 These requirements while insuring good individuals and good producers also encourage farmers to work for a higher standard, as all records are made under ordinary farm conditions and care, the COWS being milked, fed and cared for in regular way. The cows are also bred regularly, so as to calve once every twelve months or as near that as possible. They are not held off and not bred, as is the case as to many of the great records made and published by the dairy breed as sociations.
 In 1913 there were twenty cows that qualified for advanced registry The COW winning first in the club test was Pear Her production for twelve months was 13,160.6 pounds of milk and 6O3.66 pounds of butterfat. Her official weight was 1920 pounds and her official score 96 points. Pear has an official record for four con secutive years of 1,S076 pounds of butterfat, an average of 452 pounds of butterfat per year. She also IS the mother of six daughters; the three older ones are all advanced registry cows. Her first daughter Jean Du- Luth Pear will be the winner of the first prize in the clubs test for 1914, with a production of 13,538.4 pounds of milk and 546.34 pounds of butter fat. While this young COW took the laurels in milk production from h '~ dam, she fell a little short in butter fat production.
 Jean Duluth Peach Pears second daughter, is going to make more than 800 pounds of butterfat during this year. Jean Duluth Plum, Pears third daughter, will make more than 400 pounds of butterfat in her three year-old form. This goes to show

Would You Call This Woman a Fail
 ure?

In the February Woman's Home Companion appears an article entitled "The Woman Who is Owned by the Town. It is an account of the life of a minister's wife showing the tremen- dous demands made on her by the various communities in which she has lived. She and her husband have nev- CT ben more than year in a single town. Their salary has never advan- ced beyond the six hundred dollars which they received at the start. The author goes on in part as follows:
 "A pitiful case of failure, you say, And yet every one of the towns into which they have gone bears the inn
 press of her spirit. In every one of them there is a village improvement society made up of men and women to whom she gave their first faint appre- citation of beauty and good taste. There are boys and girls who gained their first and only knowledge of what is really fine in music and in art from the studies conducted at her home. There are children at whose birth she alone officiated, sometimes without the help of doctor, and scores of families with whose most sacred experiences her life is forever interwined. More than twenty towns have owned her, one after the other, and every one of them she has re-created in the image of her own self-sacriicing life"
