and position of the State of New Ork in regard to the 18th am mendment may be ascertained and carried out and made known to the people of other states, I recommend that the legis- lature rescind it's prior ratification Of the said amendment and submit the question to the qualified electors Of the state at the general election iH the year 1920.
 Il am unable to understand what reasonable argument can pe made against submitting to the people any question that interferes with their personal liberty. The man who op- poses the submission of that kind or q question assumes the role of the dictator and sets himself up as being unwilling to abide by the will of the majority. He cannot be said to have much faith ill the democratic gov ernment."

NO PRICE REDUCTION
Palmer Says Dis solution of Packers Will Not Bring Cost of Living Down.

Washington, Jan. No promise of immediate reduction in food prices as the result of the dissolution agree ment between the government and the packers is seen by Attorney-Ger- eral Palmer. he told the senate agri- culture committee today in explaining the circumstances leading up to the settlement.
 There is great strength" said MT. Palmer, in the argument that these great concerns with their efficiency methods, do handle business with less expense than many smaller units, but if so, that is efficiency gained oE autocracy. We shall have to depend upon getting results in this direction from. competition, and if they are not obtained, then our whole theory of efficiency gained by democratic com petition is wrong.''

COIN EXPLAINS WHY
 SUGAR PRICES DIFFER
Wholesale Prices for 1920 Increased: : Retailers Allowed Per Cent.
 Profit on Commodity.

An answer to the question way the prices of sugar differ in local stores is given today by Morris Conn, prominent wholesaler.
 Why the prices of sugar differ !I all local stores is because at the> present time there are , different kinds of sugar on the market. Mr- Cohn said. Some of the sugar sells at 12, IA and 1G cents, while other Srocers are charging IS, 20 and - cents per pound. Several, it is said, are getting 24 cents for their supply
 The cause of the difference in prices IS that some of the grocers have some of their 1919 sugar left over. The sugar for which they paid 10 cents per pound wholesale, Mir. Cohn said. must be sold for 12 cents as srocers are only allowed to make a profit Of 7 cents on d pound OtheT Grocers purcha sed their sugar al II and It cents a pound and must make a two-cent profit to cover expenses. Grocers purchasing 1920 sugar, or sugar which has just been received from the refinery at New York, must charge between 20 and 24 cents per pound to clear the required profit. Lake St. No 5 First.
 The accusations made by the pub lie against many s;rocers, saying that they arc profireering and robbing the people, are absolutely unjust.' MT. Cohn said, and added. T wish that the newspapers Of this city would in form them that they do not know both sides to tho story" MT Cohu explained that the wholesaler has to make q report of all goods received to the government and he is allowed to make q profit Of 1 or 1 + cents on every pound sold. The retailer is all lowed to make 6 profit of two cents

''New Britain is now practically free from rent protiteering," Mayor Quig- ley says, but. unfortunately, there are some landlords in this city who should never be allowed to. hold property The city's chief eXecutive.has taken an interest in this problem and has inves- tigated at once reports of profiteerinG reaching his ears since that problem became serious.
 In justice to many of the landlords who have had to raise the rents. ~-ori. their properties, he explains that d reasonable increase at this time is just Due to the increased cost of upkeep more revenue must be secured. h. stances of increases cited are: The cost of carting ashes was 75 cents per load two years ago. while it is now S2.50 a load; papering d room former ly cost $6 while now it is S20: plumb CTS were. glad to take 70 cents an hour for labor a few years ago and now demand $1.1o. In all other branches Fworkmen have increased their charges making necessary a reasonable in crease in rents; he claims.

In the breeding and sale of all classes Of live stock
In the case of AZ farms surveyed in Henry
county, Indiana by the department of agriculture,
IL made average labor income of ST. 423 a year.
These farms kept the most live stock averaging
81 animal units-that is, 60 full-grown cattle,
their equivalent in smaller animals Sixteen farms
made average labor income of $479 These
farms kept live stock averaging 10 animal units
per farm. Fifteen farms made average labor
income Of but 81. Not one of these farms kept
more than Is animal units.
Dividing these farms into three groups accord
ing to the number of animals to an acre, the
same tendency is shown The more heavily
stocked the farm the larger the labor income.
specific example of what can be accomplished
by raising and better stock, is that of q
belt farm, formerly managed a straightforward
farm that for the past five years has been oper-
ated as hog farm. The system followed is
rather unusual in that but litter is raised
each year. the sows bred being gifts which are
fattened and sold after their pigs have been
weaned The pigs, put on full feed on sef-feed-
ers, are sold when from six to seven months old.
Enough hogs are bought to hog down the corn
crop. The profits realized are far in advance
of those realized under the old system. For The
past three years, respectively, the net returns
from the hog enterprise alone have been 81 $50,
$3.50, and $37 1873.
1t should be borne In mind in this connection,
however, that, just large acreage may be
advantage. so live stock may be liability rather
than an asset unless the quality of the animals
is high The more scrub a has the
worse off he is If he persists in trying to produce
milk from them, and in some the quickest
way to Increase net returns Is to sell bunch Of
Gamers.
The high-class hog and the high-cass COW, each
in its field has equal in efficiency in turn
ing products into human food, but until we
realize the wide difference in efficiency between
the scrub COW producing 1000 pounds of milk
and the animal yielding 1000 pounds of milk or
between the razorback hog and the hog that
converts into pork rapidly and economically
not in position 10 make the most OF this
fact
So the farmer who seeks to increase his bust
ness by going into live stock enterprises will
make grave mistake unless he pays strict atten
ton to the vital question of quality of stock. 1t
is not necessary to begin with expensive regis
tered animals for good grade stock will serve
but 1t is essential that great be exercised in
selecting the individual animals that to serve
the foundation of the herd flock. When
such care Is taken, however here is safer way
for the farmer to Increase the size of his business
than by intensive production of live stock

size of the Ice Field
In harvesting Ice it is desirable to

ice-house at a single cutting. as the
thickness and quality of the Ice Will
be more nearly uniform, and the nee
essary preparation for cutting and har-
vesting need be made but once In
many Instances, however. the size of
the pond or stream is such that 1t Is
necessary to wait for a second crop in
order to fin the ice-house. The average
farmer requires only n comparatively
small quantity of ice, so that even a
small harvesting surface will usually
prove large enough, especially IL Ice Is

those actually needed for harvesting
Ice on small scale: Two ice saws.
one hand marker, one pulley and rope,

While these tools are all that are
necessary, additional ones, such as the
horse pillow and marker. horse scraper
and marker, and a calking bar, are
convenient, and will help to expedite
the work of ice harvesting.

LITTLE BUTTER IS EXPORTED
Product Manufactured In the United
States Is Small Factor in inter-
national Trade.

Butter made in the United States Is
a very small factor in the information
al butter trade, according to compila-
lions made by dairy experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. More than 90 per cent of our
butter business has been entirely do
nestle, except in the last three years.
Even small exports and imports, hSw-
ever, have considerable effect on
prices. That condition is especially
true in countries where butter produc-
ton and consumption are nearly equal.
The United Kingdom and Germany
were the principal butter-importing
nations, and Europe in the last decade
has been unable to supply its own but
ter needs. Shortly before the war 81
IBERIA, Australia and New Zealand
supplied most of the butter which Eu-
rope imported.

Oyster Shells for Poultry

Oyster shell is not needed by chicks, but pullets
and hens " better for having oyster shell a reg
ular part Of their ration This was proved by the
New York agricultural experiment station some
years ago when poultry writer condemned the
use of oyster shell unnecessary. The New York
station proved that pound Of oyster shell contains
enough lime to manufacture about dozen
eggs. This should not be fed in the mash Fowls
know about what they need to eat than we
do. If they have the shell, ground bone meat
scraps and grit In hoppers before them, with n
variety of ground grains in dry mash, they will
balance their ration better than balance
