Each Tribe Has Its Dress.
The Indians sill use. in their native
villages, a peculiar dress in each tribe,
the most picturesque being that worn
by the Tehuantepec (Zapotec) women.
The MaZatec and Chinantec dresses are
made with elaborate designs in red.
The Indians weave their own cloth and
use vegetable dyes and cochineal for
coloring. In the mountain villages
they still observe many of their an
cient customs and they are very SUPER
stittous. The Mile Indians belong to
one Of the widest tribes found in Mex
leo and few people enter their rugged
country.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico
the Zapotecs had their own govern
mcnt; Zaachila was their capital and
CosijOeZa their king. They had been
at war with the Mexicans for many
years, and with the aid of the Mixtecs
had been able to resist the invasion
of the Mexicans.
The conquest of these tribes was
mostly due to the influence of the
Spanish monks, who went to the most
remote parts of the country and lived
with the Indians many years, learned
their language and preached the Cos
pei to them.
On market days and feast days IN
the city of OaXaca many types of In

the republic can so many different
types be seen together.

IF our cooperative marketing sys-
tenn were discontinued, it would be a
calamity to the farmers of this coun-
try" was the recent statement of a
Mississippi farmer-this, in a state
where only few years ago no cooper
alive marketing system Of any prac-
teal value existed.
But once the advantages of market
Ing surplus produce comparatively had
been successfully demonstrated COOP
erative organizations sprang up every
where throughout the state almost
overnight.
True, many of them were formed
hastily; and the farmers soon learned
that the success of a cooperative en-
terprise depended upon something
more than the mere willingness of Bill
Smith and John Brown to pool their
produce. Efficient business methods
had to be devised, and problems pc
culiar to each particular community
needed to be solved. But with firm
belief In the soundness of the Coop
eratiye principle, these obstacles dis
solved before the whole-hearted efforts
exerted by the members working to-
gether. To the county agents of Mis-
sissippi is due the credit of initiating
and developing this work.
With the thought that other farmers
may find them of value. some of the
methods pursued are here given.
Grading Better Than Marking.
In shipping hogs it was found that
the grading method was better than
marking as to ownership. Well-fin-
ished barrows and open gifts are
graded according to weight and pack
er sows are graded according to size,
quality and finish. Hogs of any class
that are poor and emaciated are classi-
fed as skins" Special methods of
bedding and loading have also been
devised. Similar methods are ap-
piled to cattle and sheep.
For marketing miscellaneous prod
uCts the commodities that the farm
efs nave in small quantities are as
sembled In a rented warehouse or va
cant store located at a point conven-
lent to the railroad.
Corn is shelled before shipping. if
possible, as shelled corn can be graded
with greater accuracy; it can be stored
IL the market is low, and it can be
hauled to town when roads are good
and at convenient time. The corn
is put up in good, overweight 21a-
busheI bags.
Ear corn is loaded direct from the
farmers wagons into the car. A
weigher examines the corn at the
scales for color, quality and maturity.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1920-07-16

Cow peas are closely inspected at
the warehouse as to variety, soundness
and freedom from dirt and trash. The
farmers learned that graded peas com
mand premium prices.
The marketing Of potatoes is begun
in the field. Poor potatoes are culled
out on the farm and the good potatoes
hauled to town under covering of
cloth or sacks. The potatoes are run
over the grader at the warehouse, sep
arated into standard grades, and
sacked in new 100-pound bags. Ven
tilated or stock cars are used to ship
the potatoes and the sacks stacked on
end in rows ranging the length OF the
car. Each car holds from 400 to 500
bushels. The first, second and third
layers are loaded so as to permit the
freest ventilation.
Poultry is carefully classified and
shipped In regular express cars made
for the purpose. The minimum load
is 5000 pounds and the maximum load
$4,000 pounds. The poultry is sold for
cash at the loading station.
A certain day is set apart for the
shipment of eggs. Nothing but can
died eggs are accepted, which has
caused the farmers to use better meth
DDS of gathering, storing and carrying
the eggs to town. The eggs are
shipped In new cases with 31h pound,
or heavier, new filters and fats, and
packed so as to fill the slack in each
case.
Great stress is laid upon the impor-
lance Of keeping accurate records of
each transaction. In keeping accounts
the following features are emphasized:
Brevity; To save the time of the
market agent.
Simplicity: For the benefit of the
farmers whose produce is handled.
Completeness: To protect the asso-
citation as a body.
Pleased With Results.
The associated f@mers are immense
~ pleased with their accomplishments.
1t has meant more money to them. and
because of the quality of their prod
ucts secured through proper grading,
packing and shipping, the buyers have
every confidence in the farmers, nee

standard approximately square frame
bungalow-but 1t does riot look it.
The beauty of this exterior has been
secured by the small, but artistic bay
windows, the four dormers in the roof
and the off pOrches. Remove these
features and substitute those that or
dinarily are shown in bungalow de-
signs and this would be an ordinary
house. Builders who erect such
bungalow as this need never be afraid
that buyers would be scarce should
1t be offered for sale.

paratively, a small house. Yet it con-
tains six rOoms-and all of the rooms
are of good size.
In construction the bungalow Is of
wood frame set on a concrete founda-
ton. The roof is of ornamental tile.
The front entrance leads TO n recep-
ton hall that extends through the
first floor. To the right of the hall
is the living room, 10 by II feet, 6
inches; to the left is the dining room
of exactly the same size. AT the rear

Many home builders object to house
designs that are unusual. They say,
and usually are correct, that unusual
houses are excellent as homes, but
are not good investments. If it
should be necessary to sell the pos
sible buyers are fewer for the reason
that an odd house will not appeal
to so many persons.
However, It Is possible to give dis
tinction to a standard type of house,
especially the bungalow. Architects
take practically the same interior ar
rangement and by using different roof
lines, designing unusual windows, and
by giving the porch roof a distinctive
treatment effect changes that take
the home out of the ordinary class
and put 1t into distinctive class.
An excellent example of this branch
of the architects art is shown in the
accompanying illustration. This home
is not out of the ordinary in interior
arrangement: neither Is it of materi-

STABLE FLIES BREED
IN ANY DIRTY PLACE
Certain Farm Practices Favor
Development of Pest.
Custom of Permitting Manure to Ae-
eumulate Just Outside of Door
Makes Very Attractive
Place for insects.

Certain agricultural practices favor
greatly the development of the stable
fly. according to specialists of the
United States department of agrfcul-
ture. The fly breeds most commonly
In straw and horse manure or in a
mixture of the two. The custom of
allowing the manure from the horse
stable to accumulate just outside the
stable doors insures the presence of
stable flies at all times when climatic
conditions are suitable for breeding.
Allowing barnyards, especially around
diaries, to become knee deep in
manure is also favorable to the pro-
daction Of flies.
In the grain belt 1t is the practice
Of farmers to thrash the grain in the
fields by means of self-stacking thrash
ing machines. The individual stacks
cover much ground and the straw is
loosely piled. In many cases for con-
venience several stacks are formed in
various parts of the field. When
thrashing is followed by heavy sum-
mer and fall rains this loosely piled
straw is certain to form breeding
place for great numbers of flies.
The insect occasionally may breed
in broken-up masses of hay or dead
grass, especially when these are per-
meated with liquids from manure, and
corn husks in feeding pens have been |
found to harbor the maggots. Manure |
