prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Farmers live stock shipping asso-
Citations have proved so successful
that, although the first was not formed
until 1908, the department Of agricul-
ture now has a list Of approximately
500 that are shipping stock in COOP
erative way. About two hundred Of
these are in Minnesota, where the
movement started, and the remainder
chiefly in the middle West.
The main purpose of these associa-
lions is to enable their members to
ship in carload lots to the central mar
kets instead of being more less at the
mercy of local buyers in disposing Of
a few animals from time to time The
fact that no capital is required for the
organization of such an association,
says a new publication OF the depart
ment, Farmers Bulletin 71S, which
deals with this subject, makes these
associations possible in communities
in which more complicated forms Of
cooperation would 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 mar
keted in carload lots under any cir
cumstances, or where there is so little
that the association has practically
nothing with which to work.
To organize such an association it
is necessary only for the farmers of
the community to meet together, adopt
a simple constitution and bylaws, a
sample Of which is given in the bull
Ietin already mentioned, to elect Off
GERS, and. in turn, for them to appoint
a manager. 1t is recommended, al
though it is not absolutely necessary,
that the organization incorporate.
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 obtains for himself the
benefits of the cheaper carload trans
portation, and the shipments Of the
association realize for the owner the

FACTORS IN PLANS
FOR CLEARING LAND
Suggestions Offered for Cleaning
Up and Developing Farm on
Economical Lines.

By NJ J. THOMPSON, Minnesota Exc

The high cost of labor and the abb
normal cost of dynamite are to be add
ed to the constant factors that call for
consideration in development plans for
cutoYer lands this year.
A common practice is to cut over q
lot of land and then let a part of it
grow up to brush second time. This
is, Of course, expensive and useless.
Six or seven pounds of grass seed
clover and timothy mixed-should be
sown on the land and worked in with
a spring-tooth harrow.
On the other hand, an extreme ex-
pendfture Of capital and labor on a Civ
en- area to get it into q crop is also
undesirable, since no definite plan is
being followed for future development
Assuming that delayed cIearings are
usually cheaper, this plan works well.
A tract Of q few acres easily cleared,
well drained and fairly well located,
that under average summer conditions
will give a maximum crop with a min
imum Of risk and investment to put it
in shape, is selected and put into
crops. A second area, possibly twice
as large, is brushed and seeded to
grasses. The first tract supplies the
immediate requirements for foodstuhs
and income The second supplies pas
ture and a hay crop, and a delayed
clearing. One gets certain pasture
and forage crops with a cheapening
Of the final clearing
By cleaning up an additional area
annually in a similar way the farm is
developed on most economical lines.

market price of his stock less the &C
tuaI cost of marketing. In particu-
lar, it has been found that when thin
stock, calves or lambs are sold in
small numbers, the local price is usual
" very low. It is on this class Of
stock that the associations have been
able to save their members the most
money.
In order to avoid misunderstanding
it is important that all stock be
marked at the shipping point This
precaution prevents disputes in re
gard to shrinkage and dockage and as
sists in making adjustments in case OF
loss or damage in transit. There are
three common methods of marking
Numbers or other characters may be
clipped in some conspicuous part OF
the animal, paint may be employed, OF
numbered ear tags used. The last
method is the least frequent because
It is somewhat difficult at the stock

NAL to see the number on the tag. II
the second method is adopted, ordf
nary paint is undesirable, especially
for hogs, as it does not dry readily
enough to prevent smearing. This
difficulty may be overcome by using
paint containing about one-fourth var
nish. In the case of sheep, however
painting is Objectionable because the
marks will not scour out and wool
manufacturers object to them, and
branding fluid, therefore, is prefer
able. Whatever system OF marking Is
adopted, the important features are
that 1t should be uniform for all ship
ments and that the marks should be
plain and conspicuous In many cases
hogs are not marked. but are graded
by the manager at the shipping point
A record Of those subject to dockage
lis kept IN such cases Marking is ad
7tsed, however, as precautior
against mistakes
Since no payments are made fol
stock shipped until returns from the
central market are obtained. these CO
operative associations may be formed
without capital All that is necessary
is fo- the farmers to comply with thei1
engagement TO furnish the stock to the

manager when. where, and in such
quantities as they say they Will In
some associations a fixed sum OF
money is exacted from a shipper for
failure to deliver stock to the mana
ger as agreed. In every case the
amount to be exacted should be rea
sonable and should fairly represent
the actual loss which it is estimated
the association viii suffer as the re-
suit Of nondelivery. The provision for
iquidated damage is proper, because
the manager must arrange for q GER

it is not used, the expense to those
who do ship is proportionately greater.

a very pretty and summary dress of

that they play parts of equal impor-

goods in the same way.
