GRADING FOR THE
CLUB MARKETS

In order that the club markets of
our state may continue to be a sue
cess, the producers must realize that
the patrons want frst-class products,
properly graded and put up in the
right kind of containers, at reason
able prices. In many localities, we
find that the growers who have not
learned to produce truck crops effici-
emily, are the ones who supply the
markets. The more efficient truckers
have an established trade and do not
care to sell their goods beside a lot
of inferior stuff. Consumers who
~patronize markets are entitled to the
very best. 1t will take this to hold
the trade.
Much more attention should he
given to grading, packing and dis
playing of commoditieE offered for
sale. Containers actually protect
commodities from dirt, besides
making them more attractive. Few
people will buy butter, sausage, ber-
ries and many other such items If
they have been exposed to the dust
of the road and streets. In so far as
is practicable, the commodity should
he carried from the farm to the
market in a clean, attractive, con-
venient container.
Products properly graded and
carefully prepared have a higher
market value than those to which no
attention has been directed. The fol-
lowing quotation from a weekly
market summary gotten out by the
Department of Agriculture, Bureau
of Markets, is significant of this
fact. Carrots: Receipts are moder-
ate and the demand has been good
all the week with market unchanged
at mostly SITS to $500 for washed
and $3.50 a box for dirty ones"
In all cases where products are
put up in packages, any considerable
variation below the quality of the
top layer does not permit the goods
to be considered as first quality.
Where extreme topping off" is
practiced it is readily detected by
experienced buyers and the pack is
considered dishonest.

tins issued by the U. S. Department

MANY HENS ARE RETIRED
AS CULING PROGRESSES

Lexington, Ky. With the annual
fall poultry culling campaign in full
swing in practically every section of
Kentucky thousands of hens are los
ing their places in the farm flocks of
the state, according to reports being
received daily by the extension divi-
sion fthe College of Agriculture from
farmers in different counties. Results
being obtained in culling demonstra-
tons conducted by county agricultural!
agents and poultry specialists from
the college indicate that practically
every flock in the state has its quota
of producing ems that have stop
ped laying to loaf until spring.
Paul Harrison, q Grant county farm
er living near Mason, whose flock was
culled as a demonstration, has report
ed that ten hens removed from his
mixed flock of 55 produced only two
eggs during the week after culling.
In addition, the egg production of the
flock in this case was increased from
1853 eggs during the week before Gull
ing to 225 eggs during tho week imme-
diately after the culling. The in
creased egg production was attributed
to the fact that the As hens remaining
in the flock after culling were allow
ed to utilize the feed which originally
had been consumed by the ten loafers.
Eight culls removed from the flock
of Mrs. S. c. Henderson, who lives
near Paint Lick, Garrard county, pro-
duced only three eggs during the week
after culling, she reported to the col
lege extension division. During the
week before culling the A hens in
the flock produced total of 116 eggs
while the SO hens kept as layers pro-
duce da total of 11S during the week
after culling.
Results equally as striking have
been reported by Tilden Lawrence,
who lives near Corinth, Grant county.
Seventeen hens removed from this
flock of SO because the yshowed char
acteristic signs of being loafers failed
to produce single egg during the
week after culling. Allowing the good
hens to utilize the feed which orig
inally had gone to the loafers also had
a marked effect in this case. During
the week before culling. the flock pro-
duced total of 1872 eggs while the Al
hens retained as layers produced to-
tai of 1874 during the week after GULL
ing.

BEFORE THE CHERRY TREES
BLOOMED-PART !

In far eff Japan there once lived a
little girl named O-Koto-San. Poor
little Koto could not play as the other
Japanese children did for she was sick
and her little pale face looked very
white and wan with her fringe of
black hair around II and her dark
almond-shaped eyes looked very bright
when she l!sted her eyelids and locked
out into the garden.
O-Koto-San was looking for some
thing in that garden as she sat among
her cushions with the sliding paper
walls of her homo pushed open that
she might see the beauty before her
but though the garden was filed with
many beautiful things, the thing she
locked for was not there and she
feared she would never see the sight
for which she longed again.
There were many trees in the gar
den; not tall towering trees but pref
tily shaped small trees. There were
flowers just blooming and many little
wooden bridges, almost like toy ones
arched over little rivers which made
sweet murmurings as they babbled
over rocks and around small green
islands.
On some of these miniature islands
were figures OF queer looking dwarfs
and idols with huge heads or many
hands and some of the islands had
dwarf trees which made them look
like the homes of the goblins of the
elves.
