CHICAGO, May 23.-Making the
lumber industry efficient, educating
the manufacturers how TO give their
customers the best service, educat-

economically. and adopting modern
merchandising methods to the in

FACTORS IN PLANS
FOR CLEARING LAND
Suggestions Offered for Cleaning
Up and Developing Farm on
Economical Lines.
CBy NJ. J. THOMPSON. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Statlon)

(By M. j. THOMPSON, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Statlon.)
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
cutover lands this year.
A common practice is to cut over
lot of land and then let part of 1t
grow up to brush a second time. This
is, of course, expensive and useless.
Six or seven pounds o, grass seed
clover and timothy mixed-should be
sown on the land and worked in with
spring g-tooth harrow.
On the other hand, an extreme ex-
penditure OF capital and labor on CIV
en- area to get 1t into crop is also
undesirable, since no definite plan Is
being followed for future development.
Assuming that delayed clearings are
usually cheaper. this plan works well.
A tract of a few acres easily cleared,
well drained and fairly well located,
that under average summer conditions
will give a maximum crop with min
imum of risk and Investment to put 1t
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 eoodstuffs
and income. The second supplies pas
ture and hay crop, and delayed
clearing. One gets certain pasture
and forage crops with a cheapening
of the final clearing.
By cleaning up an additional area
annually in similar way the farm is
developed on most economical lines.

GIRLS WASH WHITE PooDLES
One Way Women Earn Money to Help

Lawrence.-The task of self-support
among the women students of the
University of Kansas includes every
thing from cooking for harvest hands
to washing little white dogs while In
school. The most common method In
practice is doing housewnrk for fac
ulty women. One woman who is es-
pecially anxious to get along without
financial! aid works for a profess YRS
family while she Ia in school aad
spends her vacations helping the farm
ers' wives cook for harvesters.
The women who can do good steno-
graphic work are in great demand by
the professors. Women also do a great
deal of typewriting for other students.
A few furnish themselves with little
pocket money by playing the piano for
gymnasium classes. Another solved the
problem OF making money last vaca-
tion by making pennants for the Santa
Fe railroad. Two roommates who
wanted to decorate their rooms but
lacked the funds have been giving a

FARM IN FAMILY 1863 YEARS
Last OF Descendants of Thomas
Scott at Bennington, VT.
is Dead.

Bennington, Vt.-When the body of
Miss Helen C. Scott. eighty-three. was
taken to the old Bennington cemetery
the continuous occupancy of the Scott
farm and house by Samuel Scott and
his descendants for period of 1863
years came to an end.
Samuel Scott was a native of Sun.
derland, Mass, and was well along in
years when he came to Bennington in
I747. He built log house and began
clearing the land of its heavy timber.
The farm passed into the possession
of his son, Pnineas. who In 1863 built
the house which now stands on the
property.
From Phineas the farm descended
to his son, Henry. who died in 1881.

FORAGE CROPS BEST
FOR GROWING PIGS
Expert of Kansas Agricultural
College Advocates Type Of
Feed to Produce Pork.

Spring pigs fed on good forage
crops will make five times as much
profit as those fed In dry lots" accord
ing to Ray A. Gatewood, instructor
in animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
THE cost of 100 pounds OF gain on
young pigs with corn at SO cents a
bushel and such forage crops as al
falfa. rape. and clover. runs from
$2.S8 to 1896: with older hogs from
1923 to s5.31.
THE accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age of the hog and the
amount OF grain fed. An aero of
sweet clover with corn at 30 cents and
hogs at SIS hundred netted $42.07;
rape. $3.50; alfalfa, $500; and a
combination Of oats, peas and rape.
$64.60.
"Of all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop. while rape is
the emergency crop. and green rye the
fall and early spring crop. The ideal
forage crop should show adaptability
to soil and climate. permanency,
palatability, reasonable cost of plant
ing, and good pasture at any time
during the growing season. Alfalfa.
clover and rape have most of these
qualities"

Farmer Delivering andU

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 agricui-
ture now has list of approximately
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-
tions 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 1t 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 1t
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 1t is not absolutely necessary,
that the organization incorporate.
This can be done at a nominal cost
usually not more than $40. 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

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 1t is estimated
the association will suffer as the re-
suit of nondelivery. The provision for
liquidated damage is proper. because
the manager must arrange for GER
tain amount of car space, and II all of
it is not used, the expense to those
who do ship is proportionately greater.
Fuller details in regard to the or.
ganization and management of such
associations are contained in Farmers

market price of his stock less the ac-
tual cost of marketing. In particu-
lar, 1t has been found that when thin
stock. calves or lambs are sold In
small numbers. the local price is usual
ly very low. 1t 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
sfsts 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, or
numbered ear tags used. The last
method is the least frequent because
It Is somewhat difficult at the stock
ydTub 10 ScL SiCoC SiNuoi - ]--S ~---
NAL to see the number on the tag. II
the second method is adopted, ordi-
nary paint is undesirable, especially
for hogs, as 1t 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 it 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
is kept in such cases. Marking Is ad-
vised, however. as precaution
against mistakes.
Since no payments are made for
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 their
engagement to furnish the stock to the
