MASTER MOUFLON

"My family" said Master Mouflon,
came from Sardinia for we are known
as the wild sheep of Sardinia. My
mSther was brought from the noun
tains of Sardinia when she was very
young and so was my father.
How handsome my father is with
his beautiful coloring, his two eX-
quisitely curled horns He is a very
fine looking fellow and he knows it.
There is nothing modest about my
father. He certainly knows he is
handsome. He is quite willing to adj
nit it! He will even boast of it when
given chance. But he prefers to be
admired rather than to boast of his
own beauty. He says he would rath-
er have the admiration coming from
someone else.
"That is really perfectly natural.
Anyone would rather have someone
else admire one than to keep adj
miring ones own self all the time.
Well, well, well, l shall grow up to be
like my father /, too, will want TO be
long to be cared for and TO have my
horns admired and also my coloring.
want to tell people that l was born in
the zoo and that it itself is very in-
teresting.
~ like to tell people that here I was
born, as l just said. and that here l
am being raised and that here / live.
I'm like a child of this country with
foreign parents.
But 1 don't mean that the coun-
try is my parent. | mean that l was
born in this country. 1 am friendly
just like my father. / want TO have
everyone as my friend. My father
says his friendlineSs has often been
spoken of and even written about so
that many would know what a friend
ly soul Mr. Moufion was and still is !
And he was very proud for he heard
that many folks said they knew how
Mrs. MOuflon admired him and that it
was fine thing to have lots of peo-
pie know how ones mate admired
one.
''He said it was more of a compli-
ment to have ones mate admire one
than anyone else-with the possible
exception of the keeper. For he said
that ones mate saw one all the time,
when one felt well or poorly, when
one felt CHEEKY or sad, or happy or
cranky. Ones mate saw one when
one was getting up and when one was
going to bed and ones mate knew if
one got out of bed on the right or the
wrong side.
81 was very much puzzled when he
said this to me but now ] know what
he meant, for he has explained it to
me since. / didn't want to tell him
at first that l did not understand. But

1t is generally agreed that if food
costs are to be lowered more eco
nonical system of distribution of farm
products must be perfected and placed
in practical use.
Standardization, say experts of the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture, is the essen
tial basis for such a system. This
means not only standard grades for
fruits and vegetables, but standards
for the containers in which they are
packed.
~ Should Sell by Weight.
The bureau of markets is charged
with the enforcement of the United
States standard contasler act which
provides only for standard capacities
for grape and berry baskets used ia
interstate commerce. The application
of this law has resulted in the wide
spread use of these containers in IN
trastate commerce also, for shippers
nave come to appreciate the benefits
derived from the use of uniform
methods of marketing such fruits.
Standardization of larger shipping
containers, such as hampers and
round-stave baskets. is equally deslr-
able, say the bureaus experts. of
course the best method is to sell prod
Uce by the pound, but where it is i'm
practicable to sell by weight uniform
containers should be used. Bushel
baskets Of peaches from Georgia and
colorado should contain the same
quantity of peaches. The same is true
OF any other food commodity shipped
In hampers or baskets.
An Illustration of how the present
methods result in dissatisfaction is
the case of Florida producer who re
Gently shipped potatoes to the New
York market in a container with

I really think it is always better to
admit when one doesn't understand.
Everyone can't know everything and
the only way to know more is to find
out more.
well, my father told me that of
course we didn't sleep in beds and
so we didn't get out Of bed on either
the right or the wrong side really. But
ne said it was Just an expression. He
said that sometimes people would say
that they had gotten out of bed on the
wrong side when perhaps they only
had one side of their bed to get out
of-the other side might be up against
the wall.
"The expression meant though that
when one got out of the wrong side
of the bed it meant one got up feeling
cross and cranky and thinking every
thing was upset and wrong and not at
all as one would have it. And if one
got out of the right side of the bed it
meant that one got up feeling pleasant
and cheerful and feeling that every
thing was fine.
HE said that a monitor mate knew
always just how her mate felt and
whether he was pleasant or not and
so the opinion of ones mate means so
much for ones mate was always about

Ten Hens Given Abundance Of Room
Will Lay More Than Twenty in
Crowded Enclosure

It has been shown that ten hens in a
house that gives them plenty of room
will lay more eggs than 20 hens that
are crowded; hence. one not only gets
fewer eggs when there are too many
hens together. but the cost of the food
is greater and the amount of the work
IS increased.

lower per pound than that commanded
by potatoes packed in the customary
manner.
! At present there are about fifty
types of hampers and over twenty
sizes of round-stave baskets in use.
Many of these sizes are simply the
! 0utgroWth of custom in various ship
| ping localities; others are used for the
express purpose of deception. And
aside from the confusion and uncer-
tainty that result from the use of doz-
ems of different kinds of containers
millions Of dollars are annually lost
through destruction of produce in
transit on account of the weak con-
| struction of the containers used.
Would Reduce Number Of Containers,
Many large growers, shippers and
basket manufacturers appreciate the
these containers, and q nationwide
movement is on foot to eliminate
many of them. Cooperative selling
organizations are already doing much
to promote uniformity and Standard
zation. 1t means money to them not
only because of the familiarity of the
trade with the containers used but in
permitting methods of loading into
cars that reduce the likelihood of
! breakage to q minimum.
After careful canvass of the stu
alton the bureau of markets believes,
and in this those who have studied the
problem are of the same opinion, that
five standard hampers and four stand
ard rOund-stave baskets are sufficient
to meet all shipping requirements. The
! specifications provide for volume di'
mansions or shape and strength. In
addition to the advantages of uniform
ity the adoption of these sizes will
enable the railroads to work out load

new codifed cooperative law, Chap.
1872, Laws 1919. Let me here remark
that the officers Of the T. g. M. p "A.
have been tried and acquitted, and the
amended law now protects their bust
ness from any repetition Of such ex-
perience. It also protects the CO.
operative creameries, including our
creamery in Milaca, in it's business
with that association.
The writer had 10 connection with
any Of the officers of the. T. g. M. P. "A.
at the time Of the legislative session,
but heswas of the opinion that if the
construction Of the law under which
those officers were indicted were. up
held it would have the same bc:ring
on many other business activities. If
a X cooperative association were pro-
hibited from selling the milk Of it's
members in the condition in which it
left the farm, would it not also prevent
the sale of fruit, honey, potatoes,
grain and even live stock? Such was
the writer's conception ct that time
and is now He therefore attaches
great Importance to this measure.
