The reputation thus established
enables the association to fix its price
at several cents a dozen above tho
regular market quotations. This asso.
citation, in common with many others,
co-operates in buying chicken feed and
other supplies.
Attractive Package IL Important.
One of the very important cOnsidera-
tions in getting good price for eggs
thus marketed Is an attractive
package. Some of the most successful
shippers have done away with dirty,
wooden cases, and use heavy fiber
board case which will hold from Is to
20 pasteboard cartons Of - eggs each.
Advertising Is printed upon both the
cartons and the case. Some of the
circles market by parcel post within
the first and second zones that is,
$50 miles When eggs are sold in this
way, special care must be given to
packing.
Another marketing method that has
been developed with good deal of
success in dairy sections Is to sell
through the creamery. Eggs can be
delivered to the creamery with the
cream or milk, and the creamery
officials are often able to work up a
fancy trade with those who buy their
butter.
The objects Of such organizations,
as given in the sample constitution
compiled by the Department OF Agri-
culture, will give good idea OF what
most of these circles attempt to ac-
complish. They are: The securing Of
better strains of poultry; to produce
more eggs of good color and size; to
handle eggs more carefully in order
to be able to guarantee them, and thus.
create reputation; to market same
more directly to the consumer; to pur-
chase supplies In cooperative way;
and to do such other things as may
prove of benefit to members OF the
community.
Now Is Good Time to Organize.
The winter months, when there Is
usually more leisure for farmers to get
together and talk over their problems,
should be the best time to make the
first move in organizing an egg circle
Marketing eggs Is not such problem
at this season, but when the hens be-
gin to lay heavily in the spring 1t will
be a great convenience to have an or
ganization already in working order.
Detailed information regarding the
organization of egg circles may be OBJ
tanned from the Department OF Agri-
culture.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
When it is considered that the value
of the poultry and egg crop is equal
to that of either the hay or wheat crop,
and that there is total annual loss
of nearly s per cent Of the eggs
marketed, it is evident that many pro-
ducers ould be benefited by a change
in the methods of handling and market
ing eggs. Investigations by the United
States Department Of Agriculture have
shown that good share of this big
loss occurs as result of improper
handling between the farm and the
market, and much Of the careleSSneSs
is attributed to the habit of consider
ing eggs a by-product and, conse-
Quently, giving them poor care.
Organize a Few Egg Producers.
In many communities the problem of
getting better returns for eggs has
been satisfactorily solved by the Or
ganizatiOn of several farmers or
farmers wives into little associations
known as egg circles. These organiZa-
tons have been useful in improving
the quality of eggs in various ways in
addition to better methods of market
ing. Some of them have given much
attention to selecting standard breeds
that lay more or larger eggs. They
have also made study of better
care, feeding, and shelter.

stock, one of the most successful egg
companies has large incubator house
of 1900 eggs capacity, where early
chicks are Matched for the members
at low cost This is done in order to
obtain early maturing pullets, thus
securing eggs during the fail when
they are usually scarce and high
priced. This company also has re-
ceiving room for eggs where they are
candled, sorted to weight (about "A
ounces to the dozen), packed in car
tons, and shipped on contract orders.
The eggs are all guaranteed to be true
to grade; they advertise the fancy
grades on their cartons or cases, and
market prices are paid to the members.
Twice a year dividends are paid
each member in proportion to the
number of eggs marketed through the
company and the time Of year eggs
were brought in, larger dividend
being paid per dozen for eggs brought
In during the fall and winter than for
those brought in during the spring and
summer. A regular trade is established
with discriminating consumers, with
city clubs. with the best class of hotels
and restaurants, and with fancy
grocers for a supply each day or week.

AVOID DIsAGREEABLE SMELLS

pleasant Odors Are Likely to
Hurt Products.

In winter smells are apt to find their
way to milk and butter quite as readily
as in summer. Now these products
must be kept in the house, and some
artificial heat must be used to keep
them from freezing. This close con-
finement is very apt to bring an I'M

RAISE CALVES SUCCESSFULLY
Feeder Must Have General knowledge
Of Subject and Then Apply II
in Practical Manner.

In order to raise calves successfully
the feeder must have a general knowl-
edge Of the subject, and then apply
his knowledge in a practical manner.
1t is highly important, also, that sani-
tation be considered one of the most
important factors involved In the rails
ing of calves that all milk must not
be lower in temperature than the body

be increased very gradually in

ESSENTIALS FOR DAIRY BULL
Future Development Of Herd Depends
Largely on What Calves Inherit
From Him.

Too often the bull is housed in a
dark, dirty stall and receives but little
attention. Remember the bull is half
the herd and that the future develop
ment Of the herd depends largely up
on what the calves inherit from him.
The bull at all times should have
proper feed and plenty Of exercise.
The young bull should be fed rather
literally as this is the only means Of
getting his full size developed and an
understood animal is always looked
upon unfavorably.

II is best to keep it before the fowls
at all times, as there is no danger OF

GOOD DAIRYMAN IS DEFINED
Among Other Things He Should Meet
and Know Other Men Who Can
Handle Cows.

To be good dairyman you must
meet and know other dairymen who
know how to handle cows. Read the
agricultural papers, and the paper de-
voted to your breed. Be familiar with
the weak and strong points of each
animal in the herd and strive to pre-
vent recurrence of the weak points
in the offspring by skillful mating.

Fumigation Now Rarely Is
Used as a Disinfectant

The value OF routine fumigation of
rooms as a means of preventing the
spread of infectious diseases has been
questioned of late years. says the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton. The experience of the health
authorities at Providence, r. l., eX-
tending over many years, indicates
that the abandonment Of room disin-
fectiGn is not followed by any notice
able increase in the number of sec
Ondary cases.
In New York and in several other
cities terminal disinfection has been
omitted since 1913 in cases of scarlet
fever and in several other diseases.
1t is now the general belief that the
germs of acute infection of the respir-
atOry tract do not survive very long
outside the body. The trend Of the re-
cent investigation has been to show
that the main danger of infection LIS
by direct transmission from GONZALES
cents, mild cases and healthy carriers.
Better results are likely to be obtained
In preventing the spread Of most infec-
tious diseases by giving attention to
the human sources Of infection rather
than by resorting to frequent fumiga-
ton with germicidal gas.

CAN GROW NEW TUsK IN YEAR
Discovery Is Made That the Walrus
May ProIong Worlds Vanishing
Supply Of ivory.

A remarkable discovery at the seal
rookeries on Pribilof islands may pro-
long the worlds vanishing ivory sup
ply.
Last summer an obnoxious bull
walrus was mauled by government
seal keepers, and in the fight one of
it's long tusks was broken off. This
spring the same recalcitrant mammal
returned, and to the surprise of both
natives and attendants the tusk had
grown out five inches, the end still
showing the ragged edge of the break.
1t is now believed that an annual
crop of this excellent ivory can be
harvested by cutting off one-half of
one tusk each year from the bull
walrus The one left intact is used
by the mammal in digging clans and
sea food. In year the stub would
have grown out enough to serve as
a pickax, so the other tusk could be
sacrificed for. the fancies of man.
Walrus ivory is in great demand
In China and Japan, where it Is
utilized for small carvings.

CHURCH FOR YOUNG PERSONS
indianapolis Minister Successful In
Operation of Branch for the
Boys and Girls.

A junior church, the membership OF
which is limited to persons between
six and sixteen years old, with the
preacher the only adult present, is be-
ing successfully operated in Indianap-
oils. The plan was inaugurated by Rev.
N. s. Sichterman of Grace Presby-
terian church, that city.
According to Doctor Sichterman,
there are go children ranging in age
members of the Junior organization.
They have their own room for services,
which are of 80 minutes duration, and
have their own officers. The plan was
put into operation in January and Doc
tor Sichterman is so pleased with the
results that he expects soon to double
the membership.
Doctor Sichterman said the idea of
forming a Junior church developed
from his experience In church while a
boy.
my people came from Holland and
settled I'm a neighborhood Of Holland
ers I'm small Michigan town." he said.
"The church attended as a boy also
used the Dutch language and the ser
mons sometimes lasted two hours or
more / wen remember how tired and
restless I would get as the time
dragged on, for the sermon, while ap-
pealing to adults, was not such as
would appeal to the child.
cit was this experience which gave
birth to the junior church idea, and
last January / started the organiza-
tion."

E. H. Hankin, in the Arabian sea. In
still weather the length of glide waa
about a meter. with considerable
lateral instability; in light wind this
was increased to from 200 TO 40G
meters. A resemblance between the
wing action of soaring vultures and
the fin action of the fishes was
marked. In both, the wing or fin il
inclined upward, the outer part at q
higher level than the base, in slow.
speed flights, while both show 9

is NOT WANTED IN AMERICA
Why the Monsoose Has Been Barred
Out as a Distinctly "Un-
desirable Alien"

The mongoose is an undesirable
alien" The other day the steamer
Dromore Castle docked after a 2S-day
voyage from Cape Town. She re-
sembled a modern ark, as her cargo
was animals entirely. Along with the
lions, leopards, koOdoo antelopes, wart
hogs, night apes, gnus, bush babies,
snakes and birds, were IS mongooses
and these were promptly turned back
though Kipling made the mongoose a
hero. The mongoose is a killer. 1t will
tackle anything and is referred to as
the lions provider," because, having
sucked the blood from an animal, it
leaves the carcass for the king of
beasts. In the tropics, it is friend
of man, because it cleans out rats and
snakes. 1t did that for Uncle Sam in
Porto Rico. But having rid the local
ity of pests, the mOngOOse turns to do
mestic animals and fowls, for it must
eat. Hence, in 1910, congress passed a
law which bars it from the United
States. The mongoose will tackle and
kill a cobra. But it will also eat a fat
hen. So the Is are on their way back
to Africa.

Why Brain Can't Be Overworked.


Don't be afraid of Overworking the
brain; you can't do it. You can't think
too much, observes London Answers
writer.
"The more the mind does" says a
prominent medical authority, ''the
more it can do"
Another well known doctor said re.
Gently:
I'm all my practice as a physician
dealing with nervousness and mental
diseases, / can say without hesitation
that l have not met single case of
nervous or mental trouble caused by
too much thinking or overstudy. What
produces mental trouble is worry, emo.
tional excitement or lack Of interest
In ones work"
So there is no need to be afraid. The
more you think, study or plan, the bet
ter it is for you, because you are train.
ing your mental powers. You cannot
overwork the brain as long as you
keep it healthy with outdoor exercise
whenever possible. Then it will re.
cuperate of it's own account. 1t is
worry that destroys the brain-worry,
fear, bad feelings and mental idleness

How instinct Rules Mankind.

DR.. Bernhard Hart. lecturing at the
Royal Society of Arts in London re
Gently. brought oat the point that
man, as well as animals. is largely
guided by instinct, reason and intelli-
gence being merely guides or weapons
in the hands of instructive forces. The
sex instinct, he said, was one of the
most powerful in the human mind and
unquestionably responsible for much
of our behavior. The herd instinct
was the handspring of convention.
