SOLVED BY TRUCKS
TRANSPORTATION OF PRODUCE
MADE EASY FOR FARMERS.
Motor Service Brings Consumer and
Producer Together for Their Mu-
tuaI Benefit-Reduces Expense
.sa....,- of Food Distribution.

If such authorities as Irving Fisher
are correct in their prediction that
the cost of living is to go on increas-
ing, even though the war ends, then
no other subject is of greater conse-
quence to 100,000,000 Americans than
the question how to reduce the ex-
pense IF food distribution.
Lack of any federal or state market
system is the great difficulty in the
food problem from the consumers
viewpoint as well as the producers.
Some New Jersey truck and dairy
farmers have tackled the problem with
satisfactory results by buying motor
trucks and delivering their products
to customers direct in the city near
est at hand. 1t looks as if there might
be possibilities in this idea for west.
ern farmers near large towns and
cities, who have dairy, poultry or gar
den truck to sell-anything, in fact,
that's eatable.
How single farmer 80 miles from
New York took the problem into his
own hands and has made profitable
dealing with consumers direct, is told
by Mr. Collingweod in the Rural New
Yorker, who says: ''He did not get the
service he required from the railroads
and express companies and a few
months ago he bought a six-ton motor
truck. He can make the round trip to
his customers and get higher
price for his vegetables and fruit than
If he had to ship them by the usual
transportation lines"
Monmouth county is one of the best
potato districts in New Jersey. Recent
ly a group of farmers formed a CO.
operative association for the delivery
Of potatoes to New York by motor
trucks.s When their agent telephones
them that the supply is short and the
market IA Price is high, they can send 300
OF 400 barrels of potatoes to the city
Within three or four hours and get a

the breed has been decided upon, the
first step is to procure a number of
sure purebred sires of that breed
to be mated with the females owned
by the members. If there are few
good privately owned sires already in
the community they can be put out for
service and the expense divided on a
pro rata basis.
If additional sires are found neces-
sary, it should be possible for the as
ISOLATION to secure them at consider
able saving In price through the selec-
ton of a committee of competent men
authorized to make the purchases. 1t
will in some cases be advisable to
lave a qualified veterinarian as one
member of the committee.
Placing Sires.
At the opening of the breeding sea-
son the sire should be placed at the
most convenient points and put in
the hands of capable and efficient men
who understand the breeding question
and who will take proper care Of the
animals In their charge. After each
second season it may prove advisable
to change or shift THE sires. This
will allow each breeder to procure the

PRIZE STOCK ON EXHIBITION AT STATE FAIR.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
There are some sections of the coun-
try that have become noted for the
quality of the live stock they pro-
to be the result of concentrated eff
fort. The state of Wisconsin offers a
splendid illustration of what can be
accomplished through community
breeding associations. Here are to be
found 1876 organizations devoted to the
breeding of high-class live stock. OF
this number, 10S are promoting cattle
of the different dairy breeds; 2, beef
cattle; TO-, horses; 2, swine; and IA,
general live stock. These associations
have met with marked success and
prove conc1usively that community
livestock breeding is not an expert
ment when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted. Livingston coun-
ty, Michigan and a considerable sec
ton of New York, paracularly the re-
-gfon adjacent to Syracuse, are famous
for their dairy cattle. In Iowa promi-
-nence has been gained in swine rails
ing. The bluegrass region of Ken
lucky, noted as the center of American
saddle-horse breeding, affords fur
Their example of the success resulting
from unity of effort and purpose.
There are still other sections where
attention is being given to the pro-
duction of the different classes of live
stock. Each is noted as q breeding
center, and buyers who pay the high
est prices are attracted from other
states and even foreign countries.
Leader Is Necessary.
The organization Of a community or
cooperative live stock breeders asso-
citation requires the services of a lead
er, as do all movements that have for
their object the improvement of I'M
satisfactory conditions. The leader
in an enterprise of this kind should
be one of the successful breeders Of
the community-aggress as well as
progressive. With such a man at the
head of the movement, little trouble
should be experienced in interesting
others and securing their cooperation.
A preliminary organization should be
effected committee appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws, and a
definite breed selected which the asso-
citation is to promote.
The selection of breed is of great
Importance. If the best results are
to be gained, individual taste should
be disregarded and breed selected
which has proved profitable in the
community. The action taken in this
respect should be unanimous, and
every effort should then be made in
improving the type of stock to which
the organization is committed. When

sdA new automobile transmissien, de-
signed to do away with gear-shifting,
is the invention of Carlton r. Rad
cliffe of-New York The driving and
the driven members of the device are
inclosedl fnaa a. fluid-tight ease and the
hydraulic principle is employed for
the ftransference of power. The edriv-
ing member of the mechanism is ro-
tated by the engine of the automobile.
When this members rotations reach
q sufficient speed the force of liquid
against the driven member impels it to
revolve, transmitting the power to the
rear wheels There are two driven
members, one for the forward speeds
of the car and the other for the re-
verse. Control of the speed of the
car is obtained by the shifting of the

service of a new sire and at the same
time make it possible to determine
which are the best producers so that
those not making good can be dis
posed of.
A sufficient number of the best feA
males from the successful sires should 4
be retained, and in some cases male
offspring may be put into service in
the neighborhood. This will obviate
the necessity for any further extern
sive purchases and give constant sup
ply of good blood and uniform quality.
In addition, it will provide an adequatei
number of animals to take the place of
those that die, are injured, or sold. The
serviceable sires crossed with the fe-
males retained will be of incalculable
value in the continued production Of
animals of outstanding merit.
Lack of Uniformity.
One OF the reasons FOR the lack of
uniformity in the quality Of our live
stock is the fact that many of our in
diyidual farmers and breeders have
not adhered to one type or breed of
sire. The results provide striking
example of the need of organization.
With the organized community many
advantages are to be gained. First of
all, greater interest will be taken in
the proper methods of breeding, feed
ing, ETC., with the result that a definite
community type will be established
and the members will work together in
maintaining that ideal. United action
is brought about in the prevention and
eradication of disease, combined ac-
ton along this line being far more Of
fective and economical than individual
effort. The good effect of combined
action on the part of the breeders of
community in preventing the spread
of such disease as hog cholera for
instance, can readily be appreciated.
Much can be accomplished IN SIM
liar manner in stamping out conta-
gious. diseases among other classes of
live stock, and by the adoption of prop
err sanitary methods further outbreaks
in the community can be avoided. A
reputation for sound, healthy stock
is most desirable and valuable asset.

TAKES UP LIGHT QUESTION
Accidents Caused by GIaring Head
lights Causes Automobile Engi-
neers to Consider Subject.

In view of the great number of re-
cent traffic accidents that have been
attributed to glaring headlights, the
announcement that the Society of Au-
tomobile Engineers will soon present
report on the light question that will
go a long way toward solving the
problem is welcomed by the motoring
public. That the question is much
more difficult one than is generally
supposed is proved by the fact that
the society already has spent more
than q year in considering remedies
for existing conditions.
To provide safety for night driving
it is necessary that the automobile car
ry light which will illuminate the
road in front of it for $50 feet. 1t is
equally important for safe driving that
the light shall not dazzle pedestrians
or drivers proceeding in the opposite
direction. To obtain a lighting adjust
ment that will meet both conditions is
the problem that the society has faced
and which it is said to have solved.
Recommendations based on the So
ciety's findings will soon be presented
to the manufacturers and the public,
and it is expected that these recon-
mendations will be incorporated in a
model bill to be laid before the various
legislatures by the American Automo-
bile association and affiliated organiza-
lions that are interested in obtaining
uniform traffic laws.
1t is understood that, the society will
suggest changes in lamp design so that
no part of the reflected beams of light
shall rise more than AZ inches from
the ground at a distance of rs feet or
more ahead of the automobile. 1fhis
change can be effected with little trou-
BILE, it is said, by the various manu-
facturers. :.
In the model traffic bill which the
American Automobile association will
frame, horse-drawn vehicles will come
in for their share of attention and an
effort will be made to enforce the light
ing of these vehicles after dark in ev-
cry part of the country. 8

TAGGING OF SHEEP
is IMPORTANT WORK
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool.

(By r. H. WILLIAMS, Professor of AMI
NAL Husbandry. University of Arizona.)
All good shepherds in Europe tag
their ewes. The operation is simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
its side and by means of hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have Accumulated
around the rear end Anyone can per-
form this work and it is an especially
good method of keeping the sheep
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble at lambing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way to the nipple if the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder.
Very often young lambs will get lock
of wool in their~mouths instead of the
teat, and they often suck in dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate in
the stomach and often cause death.
1t is probable that quite large per-
centage of the mortality in very young
lambs comes from this source
1t will pay best to tag the ewes, but
many shepherds also tag the wethers,
rams and lambs. One will find that
the work of shearing is so much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool, one will easily secure more mon
ey for clip that has been taken from
well-tagged sheep, and in the future,
when wool is bought on it's merits,
this is bound to be an economic adj
vantage.

Rings That Will Not Leak;

There are several leak proof, rings
on the market. They overcome the
disadvantage of the slot in the, ordf-
nary ring and so improve the compress
sion to a great extent. 1t. would be
well to put one at the top of each pis-
ton, but complete set would be some
what expensive. If the rings are bad
ly worn they should certainly be re-
placed. Some owners make practice
of replacing broken rings with leak
proof ringss By this means the cost
Is distributed over a longer time.

About Gears.

The planetary gear is so named be-
cause the change-speed gears revolve
around a center gear attached to the
main shaft, the motion of the gearing
resembling that of the planets around
the sun. The main gear, which is at
tached to the central shaft, is termed
the "sun" gear, while the assembly
members are called planet" gears.

NEW INVENTIONS FOR AUTOS

To obtain powerful searchlight
with comparatively weak current a
Frenchman has mounted a number of
incandescent lamps on a revolving cir
Gle, each in turn being Illuminated
briefly and their combined rays being
collected by reflector.
An automobile that turns easily in
narrow streets that two New York
men have patented has a wheel at
each side and one at each end. the
steering mechanism operating the last
t;yo simultaneously.
A sand box for automobiles, like the
familiar device on locomotives, to dis
tribute sand under the tires to prevent
skidding, has been patented by a
Massachusetts inventor.
A French automobile driven by an
aerial propeller has proved efficient,
its inventor claims, because the blades
of the propeller are shaped like the
wings of bird.
Tests in Italy of blowing with cleo
trio motors have demonstrated that
it's costs about half as much as if
horses had been used and about two
thirds as much as steam blowing.
