Many city organizations have this

in plans for disposing of the surplus
grown in city gardens and by the
farmers In the surrounding communi-

organizations and business mems asso-

In nearly oil cities and larger towns
the business men are organizing to
handle matters that relate to the COM

iproblem of greater production Of food
Istuffs has been deemed of sufficient i'm

: IDENTIFICATION OF HOGS in BIG HERDS
prepared by the United States Depart

{Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculturel
On farm where hogs are raised for
purely market purposes and where the
number of sows is small there need be
no Identification Of the stock. The
feeder knows his animals and even
when mistakes are made they are Of
relatively small Importance. But where
large herds are maintained or where
purebred stock Is bred, there Is neces-
sity for some method of identifying
the individuals. 1t enables the careful
breeder to tell the ancestry of any
member of the herd, which is self
evident advantage in the selection of
breeding stock. The clerical end Of
record keeping need not be discussed,
but it is well to mention q few methods
used to identify the animals. No prac-
tical method of branding hogs has been
devised. Some breeders use ear tags
marked with different numbers, but
these tear out very easily land become
lost. They are also subject to the OBJ
lection that it Is impossible to mark
c:ss by this method at birth. No sys-
TEN is free from defects, but one Of
the most satisfactory methods is to
mark by means of ear cuts or notches,
each of which represents number and
by combining them any number from
one up can be designated. These

OK, SIowest Animal.

There is no animal possessing less
speed than an OK. In the old days, the
days before the advent Of railroads it

two weeks to make round trip with
twenty-five or thirty bushels Of grain
to market, a trlp that can now be
made by rail in half day. Then the

Western city decided that community
drying plants were needed, so they
loaned the necessary funds to establish
several. These plants cost about 5000
each and were so located as to serve
best the needs of the greatest number
Of people. A small charge is made for
the drying service to cover the cost
Of operation and to pay off the loan
gradually.
Finance Community Enterprises.
In other places where the business
men are not financing such community
enterprises themselves they are help
ing the municipality to finance and
manage them. One Eastern city has
appropriated S1.500 to be used, to-
gether with a similar sum raised by a
business mems organization, for the
establishment Of drying plant.
At one time another Western city
faced rather strained relations between
the growers and the dealers, largely
due to n Misunderstanding, which was
removed in the following manner: The
business men secured q vacant ware
house located on the railroad and
placed q competent produce man In
charge. The farmers delivered their
products to this warehouse and the
local dealers secured their daily supply
from there, paying the market price.
The surplus not needed locally was
properly graded and packed by the
man IN charge Of the warehouse and
shipped in carload lots to the most fa-
vorable market. Ali accounts were
audited regularly by committee, COM
posed Of an equal number Of growers
and dealers. Not only has this plan
greatly improved the marketing meth
ods In that district, but 1t has created
q better feeling between producer and
dealer.
The city growers who have had prar-
tically no marketing experience usual
ly are not organized TO look after their
own interests. This need suggests a
service that the business organizations
can we'll render, particularly in the
shipping out Of the surplus products.

notches can be cut at the time of birth,
and unless the pig has an ear mutt
lated in fighting. they usually remain
permanently. The following is Key
to q simple and effective method OF
notching pigs so as to be able to record
their breeding. All pigs in the same ut
ter should have the same mark. Keep
a record of the mark and the sows

The cuts may be made with knlfe'
but the most convenient instrument Is
q punch which hicks the pigs ears
quickly and makes a clean cut. Little
trouble will be experienced In having
the edges of the cuts heal together, put
if they should it is an easy matter to
see them on close inspection and to cut
them open again. BY this method 1t Is
possible to number consecutively from

SUGAR the Most Common Sweet.

The world has q sweet 9th. 1t
would be difficult to find in lviduals
and probably impossible to find peo-
pie who do not like sweets. And of
all sweets the most common is sugar,
practically all Of which is produced
from the sugar cane and the
heetroot, the beetroot being the
source Of somewhat more than
half the supply. Sugar not only
pleases the palate, but it helps to sus-
tain the body, for though it is not suf-
ficient itself, it forms very useful
component Of foods, being easily SOL
uble and assimilable.

Injecting Ink Into the Eye.

Sometimes when a scar has been left
on the cornea of the eye it is most un-
slightly. Oculists used to tattoo these
scars with India ink, but the method
was not satisfactory and has almost
been abandoned. DR.. T. Fl. Verhoeff
of Boston describes in the Journal Of
the American Medical association the
delicate operation by which he injects
India ink with hypodernic syringe
into such scars, and says the results
are far superior to the old-fashloned
tattooing.
