Sweet clover Is an excellent pastur-
age crop for hogs. The animals may
be turned on the field the first year
utter sowing the crop, as soon as the
plants have made a six-inch growth.
From this time until late fall an
abundance of forage is produced, as
pasturing induces the plants to send
out many tender, succulent branches.
Pasturing the second season after
planting may begin as soon as the
growth starts in the spring. If the
field is not closely grazed the second
year it is advisable to clip 1t occa-
sionally, leaving an eight-inch stubble.

Cooperative buying is profitable to
consumers only when fewer services
are required by the cooperative meth
cd than would be required by the old
trade channel methods. In other words,
the economies secured by consumers
through cooperative buying are eff
fected for the most part by dispensing
with certain services that they huve
been in the habit of receiving, and pay
ing for, under the old system. Every
service rendered in cooperative buy
ing must be paid for by the consumer
just as under the established middle
man system. 1t follows, therefore,
that the principal way to reduce costs
is to reduce the services required.
This is the gist of the views held
and expressed by the United States
department Of agriculture through it's
cooperative experts in the bureau of
markets. One of these experts recent
" detailed some experiences to show
that the organization of the village
community for cooperative buying and
selling may be made relatively simple.
In suburb of an eastern city, he said,
plan has been adopted for the pur-
chase of CARROTS Of certain cOmmodi-
ties under which a community commit
tee undertakes TO contract for the
purchase of a carlot of potatoes, say,
direct from a producers association,
and to deliver them direct from the
car to the homes of the consumers
who have placed orders for portions
of the lot. The car is placed on a sid
ing in the suburb. a drayage concern
is employed to deliver the potatoes to
the homes of the contracting cOnsum-
erS who pay cash at the time of de-
livery to the committee, which, in
turn. settles with the growers assOci-
ton.
Advantages of Simple System.
This is pointed out as a simple sys-
TEN with these advantageous. features:
Each purchase is confined to a sin
gle commodity at a specific time. The
commodity is purchased direct from an
association of producers. The entire
transaction is handled by a committee
which is paid simply for the time &C
tually devoted to the work No out
lay is involved for storage or ware
house facilities because the commod-
ity is taken directly from the car to the
homes. Even the carriage expenses are
considerably reduced by a contract ar
rangement for delivery of the entire
carload The total costs paid by the
consumer are the price paid TO the

boys engaged in tie shecp-club work
are keeping their foundation animals
and at the same time are adding TO
their stock.
Previous to 1918 there were but few
boys and girls organized into sheep
clubs under the supervision of the de
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges. With the high
price of wool and mutton, the sheep
project, however, has become increas-
fngiy popular. Last year 25T such
clubs were organized with an enroll
ment of 3.613 members. During the
year S,O05 lambs were raised by these
young people and zoos pounds of wool
were marketed. The total value of
the f1Ocks at the end of the year was
$131, 1910; the initial cost of the
sheep, together with the expense of
feeding them. was $37. O82 81; the total
profit made by the boys and girls who
were members of the sheep clubs and
who continued the work throughout
the year was S94, O9O.5S. The results
the boys have been getting have
opened the eyes of their fathers. The
boys and girls in the sheep clubs are
demonstrating in every state that
sheep are profitable if well handled.

the body and the chicks do not make
as good growth as they otherwise
would.
Chick losses of this nature can he
largely prevented by shutting the hen

exercise. The fence can be raised
from the ground far enough to allow
the chicks TO go in and out, but not
high enough for the hen to escape. BY
using a coop the chicks can find shell
ter and warmth under the hen at any
time, and the weaklings after few
days may develop into strong healthy
chicks.
Where chicks are raised with hens,

lice If the lice get very numerous,
they greatly retard the chicks growth
and may even cause their death. The
hen should be powdered thoroughly
with some good insect powder before
she is put in the coop with the chicks
and at intervals of several days or n
week thereafter. The baby chicks
should be examined for lice, particu-
larry on the head, under the wings and
about the vent. If any are found,
little grease. such as lard. should be
rubbed on those places. Apply grease
moderately, as too much will injure
the chicks. The chicks should be ex-
amined frequently and the treatment
repeated if lice are found on them.

producer plus the transportation and
carriage charges and payment for the
time given by the committee. The
only particular in which further safe
guarding is suggested is to make sure
That the product purchased is of good
and uniform grade or quality.
The outstanding advantage is that
the individual member takes part in
the purchase of a particular carload
shipment and when this has been de-
livered and paid for the responsibility
of the individual ceases He is then
free to choose whether Or not he de-
sfres to participate in any other pur-
chase. Any change in price that may
occur during the period Of delivery
must be borne by the members partici-
pating in the purchase rather than
by the association as a whole. The in
dividuals directly associated in the par
ticular purchase become responsible
for whatever speculative feature may
be involved and the association as an
association is not entangIed in the
event Of a decline If the lot were
purchased by the association for resale
to its members, such n decline in price
during delivery would mean that the
association must pocket loss which
ultimately would have to be made good
by assessment or otherwise.
Purchasing for Resale.
If the association purchases for re-
sale to its members. the operation be-
comes relatively complex Storage IA
cilities must be provided and a more
or less permanent force of employees
must be maintained. The responsible
ity of the individual member does not
cease with the completion of single
transaction. but necessarily continues
maintaining the storage or warehouse
concern and the clerical force. It he
comes necessary, also, to provide n
sufficient amount and variety of stock
to serve the needs and requirements of
customers and there comes into exist
ence the cooperative store. which. on
the whole, has not been successful in
this country.
The conclusion is reached that the
fundamental principle IS that all CO.
operative buying and selling. like all
other buying and selling. is essentially
a business enterprise which, If it is to
succeed, must be grounded on business
principles, must be organized in recog-
milton of the fact that every service to
be secured by the members must be
paid for. and that, therefore, the prin-
the services required.

GOOD
ROADS
NEW ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
amount of Money Available for Fed
erai Aid Largest Ever Set Aside
by Any Nation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With full state cooperation accord
ing to the terms of the federal aid
road act, the United States will have
a total of at least 1914, 100000 for CO.
operative road building during the next
three years. The federal part of this
fund Is assured by an extra apprOpria-
ton of S2O9.OO0lOOO in the post Office
appropriation bill just passed by con-
gress and signed by the president.
Officials of the bureau of public
roads, Unhed States department of ag-
ricuiture which administers the pro.
visions of the federal aid road act
and co-operates with the state govern
ments in the expenditure of the money,
point out that this amount of funds is
the largest ever appropriated for SINH
lar purposes and for a similar period
by any government in the history of
the world, and that it enables the fed
eraI and state governments to carry
out bodybuilding program of mag
nitude never equaled.
In connection with the great federal
aid program it is also noted that ex-
Denditures for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to half a billion dollars or
more. On reports received from state
highway departments, the bureau of.
public roads estimates the 1919 ex-
penditures for roads and bridges at
$685., 900 900. or $4,000 900 more than
the average expenditures for 1916 and
1917.
An important effect of the law con-
tanning the new appropriation is that
it broadens the definition of a rural
post road, under which class a high
way had to qualify in order to receive
the benefits of the federal aid act.
Under the old act it was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be a
reasonable prospect that mail would be
carried on it within a short time after
improvement. The new act says:
t.. the term rural post roads
shall be construed TO mean any
public road. a major portion of which
