The Man Behind the Carburetor

Sydney Anderson, of Minnesota, Chairman of the Joint
Committee Of Agricultural Enquiry, which recently made an in
v~estigation of the various factors entering into the marketing Of
farA products, makes it clear that the fads of the city folk
and their demand for constant change and variety play quite
a part in the seemingly low prices paid to farmers for original
products.
In the case of a package Of rolled oats retailing for 20 cents
which the original producer sold for 80 cents q bushel, the fol-
lowing proportions appear: The retailer got 42 cents, of which
81 cents represented expenses Of doing business and 1 cent
his profit. The wholesaler received 18 cents Of which 3 was
profit. The manufactures got 96 cents of which 2 cents were
profit, IL cents taxes, 16 cents transportation, IL cents sdver-
Using, lS cents selling cost, and 18 cents cost of manufacture.
The elevator which handled the oats got A cents and the rail
road 5 and the farmer 35.
= Fairminded men will see injustice in this price to the
farmer, yet no one seems to have made extOrtiOnate profit at his
expense.
It is well, too, to consider the effect on prices of the great
variety of goods of a like kind demanded by the public. There
are countless thousands of brands of all kinds Of goods multi
piled by the consumer to the point of abSurdity. This means
large stocks must be carried by retailers, and capital tied un,
all Of which the consumer has to pay.
The farmer may be exploited by the trader. but the people
plainly are exploiting themselves.

BUTTE is BUILDING.

Butte, the largest city in the state,
has resumed building activity this
year on a scale larger than for years,
and in the two months of March and
April building permits issued to-
tailed S550,000. That is a sign of re-
turning normality at the copper me-
tropolis that will be good news to the
people of Montana. When Butte
flourishes the state receives indirect
benefits, and construction activities
there this year will provide labor for
many craftsmen in the building
trades. A news story has the follow
ing about the construction program:
Exceeding the figures of a year ago
by more than $250,000, the total
amount of building permits Issued by
the. commissioner of public works for
April was $272,98 5
This amount was distributed among
35 permits, the largest of which was
the new Masonic temple, which per-
nit was for SOB 900. The second
largest permit issued during the
month was for the $37 1853 Salvation
! Army building on East Broadway.
Other large permits include a $4,000
! building for the California bakery,
while several oil companies added
substantially to the total. For April
1922, the total permits granted
amounted to but $16,631
Last month, however, did not equal
the total amount in value issued dur.
ing March. But while Is permits
were issued for March, the tota
amount involved was $280,000. Oh
that, the permit for the New Finer
! amounted to 1865, 900.
The Butte copper and zinc deposit:
are very large, and with continuous
activity in the mines it will be many
years before these are exhausted
The building movement shows the
faith of the Butte people in the cit!
and it's industry. The new hotel tina
is to be erected will be a very fin
one, and the Masonic temple will ais
be a handsome structure. The rest o
Montana will congratulate the grea
mining camp on it's enterprise and b.
glad of its confidence in the future

People Are Exploiting Themselves

Conservative est mates place the number of motor vehicles
on the farms as 100000, not counting motor driven farm ma
chinery. There are st least 100000 trucks and not less than
100000 automobiles, used by the fzrmer1
Considered in the light of general production, these figures
present a startling picture. In the background we can see in
addition to the farmers use of the car the millions Of automO-
biles absorbed by the residents Of the small towns where prac-
tically every one owns q car. Obviously, the market for the
motor lies in the country, and, obviously, too, the astounding
growth of motor car absorption LIS a lasting tribute to the useful
ness of the home town newspaper which has been the only means
Of contact-except the sporadic scattering Of a few magazines
between the motor es manufacturers and the great American
population living In oounsry America. W

ECONOMI CAL EGG
PRODUCTION
(By Jos. E. Davis.)

The first essential for cheap eggs IS
good hens. The next requirement is
proper feed and then comes innumer-
able details, the sum total of which
spells Know How "a
Three words tell the main story,
Breed, Feed and Weed.
Efficiency is the Big Idea in all
lines of successful business today.
In the poultry business this means
high production of eggs as cheaply as
possible and the prompt marketing of
same at profitable figurel. The
question of production is mainly an
Individual problem with each poultry
man. For instance, Bill Jones can
take John Smiths flock of hens, sub
iect them to Bills keen observation,
hard-fisted methods, clock-work regu-
larity, and beat John 10 to 20 per
cent on the years profits. Bill knows
that right now is the time to do it
and he does. John knows it, too, but
he works an excuse.
The problem of marketing is one
that can best be solved generally by
all poultrymen pulling together in
w~oie-hearted support of their coop
T. ...e marketing organizations.
Taere are exceptions where the pro-
ducer can market direct to his adj
vantage and without injury to any
body.
We shall confine this discussion to
the fundamental principles of feeding
fer the reason that we believe more
poultrymen are at sea as to why
rather than as to what to feed. Lei
us consider the basic elements Of
which feeds are composed and the use
t. which these constituents are put
for the production of eggs.
Feed is composed of water, protein
carbohydrates, fat, ash and mineral
The hens body is composed o
water, 81 per cent; muscular tissue

Eggs are composed of water, 6

A Necessary Virtue Among
Your Hogs

Cleanliness simply means thrift
and economy in production. Free
com from internal and external par
asitea that not only keep the animal
in a condition Of low vitality and
thrift, but also means many extra
months to feed, would add thousands
of dollars to the annual income of
swine growers the country over.
There is no other animal that is sub
jected TO the filth in living conditions
that is so generally accorded to the
hogAhis production is in the rut of
long establish he'd but poorly founded
precedent and method, and the time
has come when the demand for the
products of the hog makes it impera-
tive that those methods be employed
which mean that every pound of feed
given to hogs will bring back full
value in pork products without the
usual attendant "side lines" of lice
worms and disease.
There are very few swine ailments
that cannot be avoided by the prac-
! tice of sanitation and cleanliness.
The swine pens and yards should be
so situated that they will not present
tie continual appearance of a cram
berry marsh, but should be well
drained and on high, sloping land.
The sleeping quarters should be dry,
free from drafts and we'll ventilated.
This is doubly important in the cases
of sows with young litters. I'M
proper sleeping facilities will often
cause pleuro-pneumonia among the
young pigs, which invariably proves
I fatal or worse yet, causes stunning
and consequent unprofitability.
The houses should be cleaned out
, at least once a week and the pen
and house thoroughly disinfected
with a good coal tar disinfectant
and it should also be known that
lime is one of the best disinfectants
known, and a liberal use of this cas-
lily obtainable product is one of the
best possible safeguards to the
health of the hog herd. It's low cost
is no crietrion by which to judge it;
worth.
The use of a plentiful amount o.
good, dry bedding is a very ~inexpen
sive way of increasing the gains
made. There is no feeder who cal
make a dissatisfied hog gain as de
sired, and there is no better way OF

+ External parasites, such as lice an
. mango, are very effective means O

ing. Not only do they draw their eS
? istence from the hog, but they Jesse

The only positive and economical wa
