Gus aliases under which the jack bean
is known. Pearson beam" wonder
bean" ''Wataka beam" "Gotani bean"
South American coffee beam" etc,
are only a few of the names in which
the jack bean has been rechristened.
It has some value in the south as
a green-manure crop, and there is ev-
idence to show that it may be a good
silage crop when cut green.
Cattle do not relish the jack bean
hay, nor do they make gains upon the
ground seed. which product they must
be taught to eat.
The bean is eaten by natives OF Mex
leo. but most experimenters describe
1t as fiat and coarse in flavor.
The seed contains a large proper
ton Of a material known as urease,
and used in medicines. but the demand
for this product is extremely limited

retail truck or wagon from the other
side of the house. There is no inter
mediate handling or carriage. Cold
storage plants and auction rooms are
also a part Of a good terminal food
market.
Buying SimpIIfied for Retailer.
This system of food distribution ex-
pedites the unloading Of cars. Under
present terminal conditions unloading
is often slow and every week in the
year many cars Of perishable products
spoil before they reach the wholesaler
or even get inside the railroad yards
A well-planned city terminal food
market has adequate trackage. switch
es and platforms, which facilitate the
unloading Of the cars and prevent
congestion inside and outside the
yards. Quick release OF cars is i'm
pOrtant if crops are to be moved be
fore they perish. Furthermore. the
retailer finds his buying simplified
when all the food products are con-
ceDtrated in one place, and the work
of the food, Inspector. too, becomes
easier.
The biggest saving in money, how
ever comes in leSSened carriage and
less handling and deterioration Of the
food. Where the wholesale district
of a city is remote from tranSporta-
ton lines, the carriage of the food
products from the freight house to the
wholesaler mounts into hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year, all
of which is added to the bill the con-
and upkeep Of the trucks and wagons
and the wages paid the men who load
and unload them and drive.
Food SpoiIage Costly.
To carriage cost must also be added
the loss caused by the deterioration
of the food products during the trip.
Extremes Of temperature can do con-
siderable damage TO perishable prod
ucts in short trip. The cost OF the
food which spoils in transportation is
added to the cost of the food that is
salable when it reaches the retailer
and the price the consumer pays goes
up another notch.
Farmers who ship on a consignment
basis are able to get their remittanceS
quicker under a terminal system than
they can where the wholesale district
is scattered.
In some cities the food terminals
are owned by the municipality, in OH
ers they are built by the railroads or
by private individuals, but in every
instance central food terminals have
proved their worth.
The bureau Of markets In the Unit
ed States department Of agriculturs
has made a study of terminal food
markets and is prepared to advise
any municipality on the right ways
of conducting one.

Occasionally the purebred pig clubs
In California have found difficulty In
securing adequate prices for the stock

they have resorted to the means used
by other purebred breeds, and have
organized auction sales. Two were

TREATING PIGS FOR WORMS
Sanitary Cement WaIIo~ Should Be
Provided and Oil or Dip Added
to Kill Vermin.

Before starting spring pigs on sum-
mer feed, the entire lot should be
treated for worms unless the owner
is certain that the premises are clear.
Santonin or American wormseed oil
treatments are good.
Hogs should have a sanitary cement
or frame walIow. Into the water
should be put some crude oil or a dip
to destroy lice, keep the skin in good
condition, and promote gains.
A maximum use OF pasture Is desir-
able. If present pastures are poor or
insufficient they may be supplemented
with rape. A good rape pasture should
carry 20 pigs to the acre for the sea-
son. according to r. o. Ashby Of the
Minnesota station.
Wherever pigs are given a full
feed of grain the self-feeder should
be used to save labor. Corn should
be supplemented with 4 iced rich in
protein.
The hogs should hog-off enough corn
to finish them for the market, unless
they are to be put behind cattle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
High food prices likely would re-
ceive a severe jolt if every city with
a population of 100000 or more would
establish a city food terminal for its
wholesale trade, the bureau of mar
kets of the United States department
OF agriculture believes.
All large European cities have such
markets and they have proved very
helpful in keeping down the cost of
food distribution. The cities of this
country have been slow in adopting
any kind of a unified terminal system.
Most Of them are getting along as best
they can with no plan. All but those
of the smallest size usually have sew
eral scattered terminals at which food
products are unloaded from train, boat
or truck. Frequently the wholesale
houses are located at some distance
from the freight depOts. This neces-
states loading the products into a
truck or wagon, carting them across
the city, and unloading them again
at the wholesale house.
All these expenses add TO the price
the consumer eventually pays for his
food. A city terminal market elimi-
mates this unnecessary handling and
carriage, for under such an arrange
ment the wholesale district and the
terminal are brought together, and
the contents of cars or boats are IN
loaded directly into the wholesale
houses.
Delayed Planning Costly.
In recent years both New York and
Chicago have worked on the problem
of establishing a central terminal mar
ket, but the size of those cities makes
it a difficult problem and as yet no
practical solution has been found. The
situation in these cities has awaken
ed some of the smaller municipal
ties-nOw growing at an amazing rate
to the value of a unified terminal
system, and the necessity OF install
ling one before congestion increases.
Los Angeles and Atlanta. through
private capital, have been provided
with unified terminal markets, and
Seattle has a wholesale municipal
market. Other cities, in addition to
Chicago and New York, which are
working on this problem are Indian
apoIis, Memphis, Tenn, and Wash
ingtOn, D. G.
The idea Of q terminal food mar
ket is simple. Under the plan which
it involves all wholesale houses are
built in a locality which is conve-
nient to all transportation lines. It
is not necessary or even desirable to
have them in the heart of the city,
where land values are high. The in
coming cargo of food is unlOaded di-
rectly from the car or boat into a
wholesale house and is taken away by

INCUBATION OF TURKEY EGGS
Period Is Four Weeks and Average
Number of PouIts Raised Is About
so Per Cent.

The incubation period of turkey eggs
is four weeks. the average number of
poults raised under ordinary conditions
being about 80 per cent of those hatch
ed out, or about seven poults for every
turkey hen. The greatest loss occurs
when the pouIts are quite young, the
high mortality resulting largely from
exposure TO dampness and cold, i'm
proper feeding, close confinement, lice
and predatory animals, and OF inherent
weakness, the result Of carelessness
in selection Of parent stock.
