BY THEODORE MACKLlN, Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture.

There are abundant reasons why
wool marketing in the past has been
unsatisfactory and why system of
federated local and district farmers
wool pools should better past condi-
tions by the establishment and main
tenance of a national cooperative
wool sales organization.
Two methods of marketing wool are
in use at the present time. The less
efficient, that of the private ragman
who buys without grading and at a
single price for all wool, has been en-
ployed in handling the product; and
consequently dissatisfactions have de-
veloped over a period Of years. AS a
result experiments were organized by
farmers themselves during the past two
years and are being continued by
them.
Orderly Marketing Needed.
Naturally, a successful outgrowth
from these experiments would upset
the marketing machinery which previ-
ously handled the wool clip. That
there should be opposition to any
change is to be expected. But in this
particular case there is no justifica-
<tion for opposition to farmers plans
to comprehensively market wool.
The very fact that there is such wide
spread opposition is proof Of the re-
sistance which inefficient marketing
agencies and methods put up against
the Introduction of more efficient meth
DDS. or even agencies.
To the average farmer, wool Is an
almost Insignificant source of income,
for, being a sideline issue on most
farms, the farmers have had but small
quantities to market. They have had
to devote their attention to other mat
tiers so much that it has not been worth
the while to improve an unsystematic
and expensive method Of marketing
wool.
But at last the farmers have found
a way to stimulate Improvement by
their own efforts, for the very failure
of private marketing concerns to build
up an inexpensive, comprehensive wool
marketing system has obliged the
farmers to try to make Improvements
themselves. This they could attempt
to do only by actually doing the mar
keting themselves, but in order to es-
tablish long-needed Improvements
which many years ago were intro

Disinfect Hog Quarters
After Cholera Epidemic

Where cholera has occurred in the
herd all quarters which the hogs have
occupied should be .disinfected thor
oughly. Liberal use of lime in tha
small lots will help the natural dis
infectant agencies. All litter, rubbish
and refuse should be burned. Build
ings should be sprayed with some OF
the stock dips on the market accord
ing to the directions. Mud waiiows
should be drained and filed with fresh
earth. The soil under buildings should
he snrinkled with quickIime or sprayed
with disinfectant Hogs which do not
fully recover should be destroyed.

Ten Medium-sized Pigs
to One Acre of Alfalfa

In pasturing hogs on alfalfa, do not
run more than twenty to the acre, and
then only when the plants are strong
and well grown. If the field begins to
wear down take the hogs out and give
the plants a chance to grow up again.
With ten medium-sized pigs to the
acre, we1l-grown plants will hold their
own throughout the season If the
weather is favorable. # the ground
is wet the animals are apt to spoil the
alfalfa by roofing and tramping the
crowns.

Guard Little Chickens
Against Many Accidents

Never place sacks of feed around
the colony houses where they can tip
over. Do not stand boards on the
chick range where they can blow over
If anything. blows over on a chick
range it is a safe bet that you will find
one or more crushed chicks under
meath. Chicks just naturally seem to
enjoy committing suicide If they have
half chance.

Most Effective Plan of
Keeping Flock Healthy

Systematic withdrawing of the in
side of a poultry house winter and
summer is one of the most effective
means of keeping the flock heartily.
Whitewashing makes the quarters
lighter and purifies, Transforming dark,
dingy, smelly houses into light, clean
rooms. To clean and disinfect effec-
lively, pour half a pint of formalde-
hyde into each gallon of whitewash.
This purifies the air.

Several Essentials for
DEVELOPMENT of Chicks

Best development of young chicks
comes from close attention to the
brood coops. cleanliness, proper feed
and water, shade and free range. Keep
a good mash before them. Watch for
lice and mites, they multiply rapidly
during warm weather. Clean and
spray houses and coops.

HANDLING Sow Bean Crop.

Soy bean hay may be cut and han
died the same as red clover, says the
iegume specialist, using mower, side
delivery rake and hay loader. How
ever, on small areas better grade of
hay can be put up by letting the beans
-cure in the cock.

FIounces.

Wide fiounces adjoining skirts are
an unfamiliar sight as yet, but indi-
cations are that before the summer is
over we will become used to them. The
fashionable ruffle does not stand out In
he old fashion, but maintains the
straight silhouette.

One Fortunate Farmer.

When other farmers overdo the

an orchard and good garden is going

Mistake to Stop FEEDING

Don't stop feeding either chicks or
laying hens this summer. It is the
worst mistake a poultryman can make,
say specialists on the subject, and it
never pays.

Tobacco dust or stems in the bottom
