SHIPPING LIVE STOCK

Farmers live stock shipping asso-
cations have proved so successful
tnaI although the first was not
formed until 1908, the federal depart
ment of agriculture now has a list of
approximately 500 that are shipping
stock in a cooperative way. About
zoo of these are in Minnesota, where
the movement started. and the re-
mainder are chiefly in the middle
west The main purpose of these as
soc1ations is to enable their members
to ship in carload lots to the central
markets instead of being more or less
at the mercy of local buyers in dispos-
ing of few animals from time to
time. The fact that no capital is re-
CURED for the organization of such an
association, says a new publication of
the department, Farmers Bulletin
71S. which deals with this subject,
makes these associations possible in
communities in which more compli-
Gated forms of cooperation wouli not
succeed. The bulletin, however
points out that such associations are
scarcely practicable in regions where
there is SO much live stock that it is
generally marketed in carload lots
there is so little that the association
has practically nothing with which to
work. To organize such an associa-
ton it is necessary only for the farm
ers of the community to meet togeth-
er, adopt simple constitution and by
laws, a sample of which is given in
the bulletin already mentioned, to
elect officers, and, in turn, for them
to appoint manager. It is recon-
mended, although it is not absolutely
necessary, that the organization in
corporate. This can be done at a
nominal cost-usually not more than
SO. For this small expenditure of
trouble and money the association
usually enables the farmer to market
his stock when it is ready instead of
compelling him to wait until the local
shipper is ready to buy it He OBJ
tains for himself the benefits of the
cheaper carload transportation. and
the shipments of the association real
ize for the owner the market price of
his stock less the actual cost of mar
keting. In particular, it has been
found that when thin stock, calves
or lambs are sold in small numbers,
the local price is usually very low. 1t
is on this class of stock that the asso-
Citations have been able TO save their
members the most money. Since no
payments are made for stock shipped
until returns from the central market
are obtained, these cooperative asso-
Citations may be formed without CAPT.
tai. All that is necessary is for the
farmers to comply with their engage
ment to furnish the stock to the man
ager when, where and in such quaint
ties as they say they will. In some as
sociations a fixed sum of money is ex-
acted from shipper for failure to de-
liver stock to the manager as agreed.
In every case the amount to be ex-
acted should be reasonable and should
fairly represent the actual loss which
it is estimated the association will suf-
/ fer as the result of non-delivery The
provision for liquidated damage is
1 proper, because the manager must ar
range for a certain amount of car
space and if all of it is not used the
expense to those who do ship is pro-

BT ROY K. MOCLTON.

He FIetchcrized.
Hank was up-to-date, you betcher;
Took advice from old Hold Fletcher,
Chawed his vittels good and plenty;
Fifteen chaws, or mayb twenty.
Chawed his soup and chawed his water,
Cause Hold Fletcher said he'd gotter;
Took two hours to eat his dinner;
Was a mastication winner.
Soon he saw his jaw was growing,
And the vittels he was slowing,
1t was not at all surprising,
But was due to exercising,
And it did not cause eladon,
But increasing CONSERVATION,
AS he sacrificed his beauty
To the stern demands of duty.
Suddenly an inspiration
Found for him a reputation,
And this champion vittel bitter
Blossomed out as prize fighter.
Every fistic title bearer
Saw his jaw and fled in terror.
On the stage he went then, winning
Wealth and fame by his Ginning.
