Sleep in Plenty
A big feature of livestock day al
Emerson n-Brantingham building was
Peter McKensie's demonstration in
sheep management, shearing, wool
tying, dipping and docking. "Hoot
mom," exclaimed the jolly big
Scotchman. "I'll ne'er be satisfied
until l see Pennsylvania pastures
white with sheep. "McKensie is
the boss sheep expert at State Col
lege and he says Pennsylvania should
be dotted with sheep because they
can almost live on pasture and every
part of them is valuable
An important event for tomorrow
is the address at Penn Harris by Dr.
E. b. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins
who is reckoned to be the greatest
authority on nutrition for man and
beast.
The experimental data which led
Professor McCollum to an under
standing of nutrition such as has
now been acquired, was obtained by
studies on animals, but he has Ike
wise accumulated vast amount oi
information concerning what several
large groups of people Throughout
the world are eating, and his correla-
ton of these facts which the stand
ards of health and efficiency are
most enlightening.
He claims there is now available
a sufficient amount of exact knowl'
edge of human nutrition to enable
us to eradicate several of the mos'
serious diseases which afflict the hu-
man race, if it could be applied to
daily life the world over. He lectures
at the Penn Harris Hotel on Thurs
day afternoon at 1.3O o'clock.
Tells of Poultry
Every raiser of poultry in the
state was concerned with the talk
this Afternoon of L. b. Sprecher, Civ
en- to the Pennsylvania Poultry Asso-
citation. He said: The principal
part of the farming business which
brings real success is the weak spot
in the farmers armor, namely,
marketing his product to the best
advantage.
This can be remedied in only one
way-co-operation This is done in
Canada, where they explain that the
object of cooperation is to improve
the quality of eggs as they leave the
farm and to place them in the hands
of the consumer with the least pos
sible delay and in the best possible
condition"
He advised a cooperative associa-
ton which can obtain better prices
with its large output. He en-
phasized that the cost of selling is
much less when units are consolidat-
ed likewise the purchase of raw ma
terials is less.
The speaker pointed out that the
two routes for eggs to reach the con-
sumer are huckster and general store
and that both of these entails an i'm
mense amount of breakage, waste
and expense, the cost coming event
ually for the consumer.
Concluding, he gave figures from
the Canadian system used in On
tario, as follows: The number OF
egg circles or units was thirty-sia
with a membership of 1,04S. The
cash receipts for eggs marketed CO.
