Since efficiency Is finding its way

due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one OF the subway entrances

York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance Of this
beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up in a wheel chair.
Alongside was a husky youth OF nine
teen or so, busily engaged In barking
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought It a good joke on
the alms-giving public. for there was
always a smirk on his face, as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop a coin in the beggar's lap. His

RAISE STANDARDS OF STOCK
Activities of Live Stock Association
illustrate Benefits Of
Cooperation.

The manner in which cooperative
buying can further the movement for
better stock is illustrated by the ac-
tivities OF a live stock association in
northern Wisconsin. 1t purchased 30
head of fine cattle from another part
OF the state and also several head
from it's own vicinity. The associa-
ton sold these animals individually TO
various stock raisers. The money net
ted by the transaction was used In
further promotion Of the purebred
cause by purchasing 8 purebred bull
calves. The calves were then dis
tributed by lot among the members Of
the association. Thus the cooperative
effort Of the association has made pos
sible raising the stock standards on
the farms Of practically the entire
community, having brought into the
county $4,000 worth OF weIl-bred live
stock.

Various attempts have been made
to establish egg and poultry standard
grades, but the various exchanges are
not in agreement regarding grades, and
the trade has been handicapped be-
cause OF resulting diversities.
The difficulties constantly arising be-
cause Of the lack of common stand
ards are illustrated by the experience
of New York broker who made a
bid to a western shipper for q carload
OF eggs classed as refrigerator frsts."
The offer was accepted, and when the
car arrived it could not be discovered
that these eggs fitted any known grade
Of refrigerated firsts." In the rather
heated discussion that followed the
western shipper finally announced that
he had graded the eggs according to
standard Of his ownI
These are days when American pro-
ducers are looking to foreign markets.
Abroad, even more than at home, rec
ognized grades are an asset. Again
eggs may be used as an illustration.
Prior to 1914 the largest amount OF
eggs exported to the United Kingdom
by this country was less than 100000
dozen in a year. Since 1914 it has
varied from 100000 dozen to 7.7OO,-
600 dozen. The way has been opened
for the development of this immense
trade because there have been small
imports from continental Europe. But,
in spite of the lead given US by the
war, Canadian eggs have been bringing
from 2 to cents more in the British
market than American eggs. Nor was
it a question of sentiment with the
EngliShmen. The Canadian shippers,
anxious to continue merchandising
connections established during the
war, have been grading their eggs, and
that fact has appealed to the discrim-
mating British public.
Standardizing Is Fundamental.
The lesson to America is obvious.
It applies not only to eggs, but to
many other farm products. A repre-
sentative Of the bureau Of markets
has stated the case thus: STANDARD
ization is fundamental to progress In
every field of effort-in the arts and
sciences, and in industry and COM
merce as WELL"
Coal is sold on grade. Grades Of
lumber have been known to the trade
for years. Grades of cotton and
wheat, though recently established,
are now recognized as absolutely nee
essary to the marketing Of these prod
ucts. Eventually we must adopt grades
for a larger number Of farm products.

JUDGING LIVE STOCK
PROPERLY is AN ART
Relatively Few Persons Ever At

Various Features on Subject Discussed
In Popular Language by Circular
Issued by the Department
Of Agriculture.

A real need in agricultural regions
today is more widespread knowledge
of how to Judge live stock properly.
While the judging Of the finest ami
mails is likely to remain an art in
which relatively few persons can at-
tain the highest standing, nevertheless
farmers as a whole should be thor
oughly familiar with the general prin-
ciples Of judging stock. knowledge
Of this sort is real asset
The art OF Judging beef cattle is the
foundation of all beef-cattle shows.
and also is largely the means OF De
termining the value OF cattle offered
In public sales. 1t serves as a basis
for every man who buys and raises
cattle to seek Improvement along
well-reeognized lines.
Sample score cards for fat and

ment OF Agriculture.)
Farming by rule Of thumb Is becom-
ing obsolete. But many farmers still
want TO be shown" the value OF grad
ing fruits and vegetables and certain
other farm products. Without COM
monty accepted standards for many
products a considerable part of the
profits due to a systematic agriculture
is lost.
Benefits of Standard Grades.
The bureau Of markets, United
States department of agriculture, in
pointing out the Importance of grading
a larger number of farm products,
summarizes the benefits as follows:
1t would encourage better methods
OF production and handling.
1t would provide a standard trading
basis.
It would enable the buyer to procure
a stock of any size and quality de-
sired.
1t would aid in eliminating fraud,
thereby promoting confidence among
producers, dealers, and consumers.
The federal grain and cotton stand
ards have come to be generally recog-
nized as desirable, and the wartime
potato grades, though no longer COM
pulsory, are still widely adhered to
"a fact that is good evidence of their
value. Several states, including Penn
sylvanfa, New Jersey, California, Tex
as, Wisconsin, and North Carolina,
through their own marketing bureaus,
are establishing or have established
standard grades for one or more prod
ucts. The federal bureau of markets
has been glad to aid these agencies
in various ways, having made an eE-
tensive study Of the problem and ac-
cumulated much valuable data. 1t is
prepared to offer helpful suggestions
to any state or trade organization In
terested in establishing standard
grades for the following products :
Irish potatoes, onions, sweet potatoes,
apples, fresh tomatoes, and cabbages.
