POOLING FEATURE Is
MOST FEASIBLE IDEA
Each Grower Receives Same
Price for His Products.
Individual Members Amply Protected
From Loss Because of Unfavor-
able Market Conditions of
Temporary Nature.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The pooling of products sold through
cooperative organizations is an i'm
portant feature of cooperative mar
keting, specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture have found.
BY pooling is meant averaging the re-
turns received for products sold dur
ing certain period, or for certain
shipments, so that each grower hav-
ing products of the same grade re-
ceives the same price. The success Of
a pooling system depends upon the OBJ
servance of uniform grading and pack
ing of the products.
This method of operation, it is said.
protects the individual member from
loss because of unfavorable market
conditions of temporary nature.
Some farmers marketing organiza-
tiOns, especially grain-elevator com
panies, purchase the members prod
ucts outright. Conditions and prac-
tees in grain marketing make such a
plan feasible, but organizations ham
ding other products usually md II to
their advantage to pool shipments and
await returns before making payments
TO the growers.
In this way the association is re-
lieved of speculative risks, the avoid
ance of which is highly desirable. Co
operative creameries, which prOrate 10
the members monthly, in accordance
with the amount Of butter fat each
has delivered the preceding month.
the returns received for products sold
less operating expenses, are good ex-
amples Of pooling.
The length of the pooling period
varies with the products handled and
the local conditions. Thus there are
car lot, daily, weekly, semimonthly-
monthly, and seasonal pools.

Saiutinu the FIau,

In some of the schools since our entry
into the war, saluting the flag has be-
come part of the school exercises. And
it is important that this should not be
allowed to lapse into a meaningless
formality. Saluting the flag will not
help to inspire patriotism If it is per-
functory form. Put your heart into
it, whatever the attitude of your
schoolmates. AS far as you are con-
cerned, make each occasion fresh
consecration of yourself to the service
of your country.

Boys and girls who are members of
poultry clubs, or those who are in
terested in any way in chickens, should
learn how to candle and preserve
eggs. Gambling means the sorting out
of bad eggs before a strong light in
such a manner that the rays of light
come to the eye through the egg so
that the contents can be seen and the
condition noted.
The shell of a newly laid egg has a
soft glow" or 'bloom" which is a sign
of perfect freshness. This glow or
bloom is destroyed by handling, and in
any case disappears after the egg has
been exposed to the air for a short
time. After that it is difficult to dis
tinguish a fresh egg from an old one
by the appearance of the shell, so
candling becomes necessary if you
would be sure that the egg is good.
Candle Eggs in a Dark Room.
Eggs can be candled best in a dark
room, by the use of a bright light in
closed in a box or case having a hole
a triae smaller than an egg directly
opposite the light. The egg is held
at this hole for examination. An
ordinary hand lamp, lantern, an in
candescent bulb, or a fiashlight can be
used. If you are using a box and a
hand lamp the box should have a hole
at the top, otherwise the heat from
the top Of the chimney would set the
box on fire. A tester chimney made
of tin, such as is used on a lamp for
testing eggs in incubators, may be
used for Gambling, in which case you
would not need the box, as the eggs
are tested by means of hole in the
| side of the tin.
A perfectly good, fresh egg shows
"full" and "clear" before the light

OLD LONDON BELLMEN.

Other bells than those attached to
churches used TO disturb the Slumbers
of LondOnerS. Prior to the institution
of watchmen every parish had its bell
man, who used to stalk the streets all
night. At irregular intervals he would
ring his bell loudly and cry out, Take
care of your fire and candle, be chari-
table to the poor and pray for the
dead" If he met any malefactor, he
rang increasingly until the neighbor-
hood was reused to his assistance.

these directions usually will keep for
from six to ten months, and can be
used satisfactorily for cooking and for
the table. If, however, preserved eggs
are to be boiled small hole should
be made with pin in the larger end
of the shell before placing them in the
water, to allow the air in the egg to
escape when heated, and thug yTeEeut
