About one-third Of the total cost OF

belt. Commission comprised about so
percent OF the terminal charges, yard
age about 20 per tent and feed 70
per cent. On the average the ter
minal costs at all markets for straight
shipments ranged from $3.50 TO 1928
per 1000 pounds, the average being
about s1.90 per 1000 pounds. By In
dividual associations the lowest cost
was $I.o5 and the highest cost was
s2.63.
Losses from Gripping were found
to be heavier In November to March.
inclusive. than during other months OF
the year. The loss on ccoun of
killed hogs was found TO be greater
In the spring months. particularly May
and June. than In other months. Both
crippled and dead hogs were more nu-
merous in mixed shipments than in
straight shipments.
A seasonal variation In s~hrinkage
was also found, the highest percent
age or shrinkage occurring In August.
From July to October. inclusive,
shrinkage is greater than from No
vember to March. Although mixed
shipments showed greater ~shrinkags
than straight shipments. the depart
ment points out that this may simply
indicate that the organizations ship
ping mixed cars were not as efficient
as others, or was due to the type of
animal usually shipped In mixed cars.
The study consisted OF data collect

HARDEST OF LEGUME CROPS
Given Right Soil Sweet Clover VIII
Thrive Almost AnywhsreCrop
Makes Good Feed.

Sweet clover is considered the har-
diest Of the legume crops. Given a
sweet soil, It will grow almost any
where. II is particularly desirable
for redeeming fields which have been
badly washed. and are not In condi-
ton for other crops. Sweet clover
quickly puts a field in shape for al
falfa by loosening and inoculating the
soil.
This crop makes good feed IL cut
before the stems are too mature. II
yields heavily, even on thin soil. Like
all legume crops it's a big help In en-
riching the soil. The farmer who
wants TO improve his soil. and expects
to do IL with legume crops, will do
well to include sweet clover.

SHOULD USE PUREBRED BULL

rIor Breeding, Good Feed and
Wedding Out Scrubs.

Farmers and dairymen cannot con.
tinue to use scrub or grade bulls, says
A G. Baer, professor OF dairy hus.
bandry at the Oklahoma A. and NJ
college. Profitable dairying depends
on ~ good breeding; ~ wedding
out poor COWS; (3) good feeding.
A purebred bull will improve all
dairy herds which are not now headed
by a purebred male, Mr. Baer says
Farmers or dairymen al very often
club together and buy a bull which
costs more than an ordinary %purebred
male. Whenever possible. a herd bull
should be from a tested dam with 0

Too much stress cannot be laid
on the Importance of having part OF
the roughage of a s~ucculent nature,

daily a little more than three pounds
of silage and about m pound Of hay,
or its equivalent. in addition to silage,

At present prices the dairyman can
not afford not to feed grain. The COW
should be fed about n pound Of grain
mixture daily for every three and n
half pounds of milk she gives.

KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
Particularly important That MIX Cans
Be Dried and Kept, 80 Until
Used Again.

Because bacteria increase In num-
bers at such an astounding rate when
conditions are favorable. II is neces-
sary not only 10 kill as many Of them
as possible In order TO keep dairy
utensils clean and insure a good prod
uct but utensils must be kept dry, so
that the few organisms that are left
after sterilization will not multiply
greatly. In addition TO the proper
temperature. II is necessary that
moisture be present for these germs
to grow, but only a very thin film OF
water Is needed.
II is particularly important that
milk cans be thoroughly dried and
kept dry until used again. They must
also be protected from contamination
with dust, dirt and flies. Experiments
show that In milk cans which were
covered before being dried the num-
Der of bacteria increased 700 times In
"a hours. MIX put into cans In
which the bacteria have been permit
ted to multiply TO such an extent will
spoil much sooner than milk put into
cans that have been dried before being
covered.
To secure rapid drying the cans
must be sterilized with steam or boil
Ing water. II the sterilizer Is used,
the cans may be left in II until time
for them to be used again, but there
must be some means of ventilation to
carry Off the moSture. Cans may be
set on a rack to dry, but they should
be protected from flies and dust, pref

CRIMES AND PICTURES
Religious Lectures And Pictures To
Be Shown

One of the most astounding perlls
which faces the American people is
the one with reference to crime and
more especially the ages of the people
who commit crimes. Since 1916 juven-
lie crime has increased 200 per cent,
while general crime has increased 400
per cent. and our prison inmates have
increased 80 e cent. Do you know
that 68 per cent of all crimes we're
committed by people between the
ages of twelve and twenty years and
practically all "frst otfenses' were be-
low eighteen years. The average Of
robbers is lie years. In 1922 there
were $4,000 runaway girls in the
United States and in city of l25,-
900 there was an average of two per
day. During the past year twenty
people were murdered every day, n
murder for every $4,000 population;
one out of every $1,000 born to be
murdered. -Four years ago there was
one divorce to every four marriges;
last year it was one to every two mar
riages. How long can u nation
stand on such moral foundations?
No father or mother is sure his child
will not help feed this awful monster
of sin and crime.
Do you know that in New Jersey
in five a crime has increased SO
per cent and that the average first
offense age has dropped from seven
teen years to thirteen? Do you know
that religious illiterates in u State
during 1920-1921 increased 39,784?
There are several hundred boys and
girls in Penns Grove who are not get
ting any religious and moral training
regularly. What is to be done?
1t is the desire of the pastor of the
First Baptist Church and the members
to render a service to our community
in the matter of religious and moral,
as we'll as intellectual training. To
that end, Rev. William Park, the pas
tor, has arranged to give each Friday
night, beginning March %, %stereopti-
con lectures at the Church. These
lectures, with pictures, will a
variety of subjects. The first n will
i've GLOW Paper is Made and a Bible
story. The program will vary each
night. There will be sets of pictures
shown illustrating u industries,
geography and travel, health and by
giene, literature, the fine arts and
Bible stories. The Church has no de
sire to benefit financially but wishes
to serve. All that is asked is that
each one bring a penny or more which
will help to defray the expenses.
We are in hearty accord with the
purposes of this program and feel that
the people of Penns Grove will heart
lily cooperate, feeling sure that much
good will be accomplished.
