Federal Grades Favored
for Apples in Barrels

United States grades for barreled
apples recommended in 1923 and adopt
ed as the official grades in number
of states producing barreled apples in
GLIDING Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, West
Virginia, New Jersey and North and
South Carolina, have been promulgated
by the secretary Of agriculture under
the provisions of the food products in
spection law as the official grades for
federal inspection at shipping point
and in the receiving markets.
At the last session of the New York
state legislature an amendment was
made to the state apple-grading law
which will make it possible for New
York growers and shippers to use the
federal grades in lieu of the New
York state grades.
The specifications of the grades re-
main substantially the same with the
exception that he color requirements
for Baldwin and Black Twig have been
fixed at 33 per cent for United States
fancy and 15 per cent for United
States No. 1. This color must be good
color and characteristic Of the variety.
Copies of the grades may be OBJ

Right Selection of
Exhibits for Fair
Uniformity, Color and Quail
ity Essential Factors.

The Importance of proper selection
of fair exhibits cannot be overem-
phasized First of all, the exhibitor
should know how to select and pack
his fruit and vegetables, if he expects
to be strong competitor for the
prizes.
Proper selection Of exhibit fruit and
vegetables should begin with thor
ough knowledge of the varieties and
the requirements for which they are
selected. Let us say we are selecting
a plate of Commercial No. l Ben
Davis apples, that will range pa
inches and up in diameter. It is gen
orally the best plan to select a little
above the average in size for the vari-
be picked. The individual specimen in
this case should be the true shape and
color of the Ben Davis variety. II
should be free from all insect stings
and injury, and should contain no evi"
dence of any disease or physical de-
feet In other words, the specimen
should be as near perfect as possible.
In starting out, select specimens OF
fruits and vegetables that conform as
nearly to the perfect type as possible.
Then pick all of the specimens for ex-
hibit purposes as nearly alike as pos
sible in size, color and shape, keeping
in mind that when the judge takes
your vegetables and fruits he consid-
ers uniformity, color, quality and free
dom from blemiSh.

the way To execute it requires pro-
gram of work, summed up in the word
merchandising" Suffice it to say that
merchandising of farm products pre-
supposes the production of commodi-
ties conforming to market demands in
both quality and quantity, and distrib-
uted and sold in accordance with the
best marketing practice.
Must Please Customers.
The dominant note in the policy Of
the great merchandising companies
has always been to ascertain first the
wants of buyers. To sell to advantage,
requires doing to advantage what con-
sumers wish. What these consumers
wish for is, therefore, the great guild
ing star of every marketing company.
In the last analysis, the consumers of
products originating on farms are in
terested in these products not because
they once were on farms, but because
these goods fill some need satisfac.
tOrily. Merchandising, in brief, is do
ing all those things which enable a
company to satisfy it's customers The
best merchandise is one which pleases
customers most.
The relation of marketing COM
pany to the consumer and to success Is
about the same as that of runner in
relation to the prize ard the other
runners on the race track. In a race,
the prize is offered for the swiftest
runner, who crosses the distance line
first. To marketing companies in a
similar way, premiums in price are
offered, in place of prizes, for the rem
dering of service and delivery of prod
uct which pleases most. The company
which would win the premium prices,
like the runner who seeks the prize,
must spend time, devotion, and intelli-
gence on the task of learning how to
merchandise well; in other words, to
run most swiftly the marketing race.
It may perhaps be well to remember
that to win a prize in a race, presup-
poses running in the direction of the
prescribed goal.

Canker Is Destructive
and CONTAGIOUS Disease

In damp weather or in low locations,
canker is one of the most destructive
and contagious of poultry diseases. To
avoid it, locate your house on a high,
dry spot where the drainage is good
Also make sure there are no, holes or
cracks in the roof and walls of the
house.
Cleanliness inside the house is also
important, for the organism that causes
canker breeds in conditions Of filth as
well as dampness. The disease some
times results from the use of moldy 1T
ter or feed, or from scratches the
fowls receive from fighting, or from
using sharp-edged feed or water cups
that cut them.
Canker usually takes the form Of
hard, cheese-like patches around the
eyes, mouth or in the throat of the
fowl. Remove these as fast as they
form with stick or knife, being care
full 70 make them bleed no more than
necessary. Then touch up each ulcer
ated place with a cotton swab dipped
in undiluted creolin, which can be
bought at any drug store.
Another good remedy is equal parts
of boracic acid, pulverized camphor
and subnitrate Of bismuth-blowing
the powder over the fowls throat and
mouth with straw.
Remove all sick fowls from the main
flock so that infection won't spread
through the medium of feed troughs
and drinking vessels

Poultry Hints

FEFEFEE+EEEEEE+ FEEEEF*FF.'s.
Feed and care for your grown pull
let's.
Some mixed f1ocks containing Wig
orous pullets may be better than a lot
Of Gull pure BREEDS
Many pullets are retarded in their
growth by giving insufficient feed to
avoid a fall mott.
The pullet colony houses should not
be overcrowded. Provide roosts aS
soon as the birds are feathered out
and the brooder is removed.
Many poultry farmer is making aB
large a profit on ten acres as the quar-
ter-section farmer did with his primi-
tive methods few years ago.
If the chickens, either old or young,
are not thrifty, look for lice. During
hot weather these pests get in their
'best licks' and the poor fowls have
to suffer unless well treated for lice
frequently.
A rapid growth among pullets will
require the use of a growing mash.
The easily digested ground grains and
other elements needed for growth can
all be included in one hopper and then
you know every pullet has a chance at
a full crop any time of the day.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-10-23
Give Pullets Mash in
Addition to Grain Feed

Too many pullets have to subsist on
a little scratch grain morning and night
with no mash. This plan succeeds in
a measure when there are few birds
and a large range. When the flock
reaches several hundred birds the
amount Of bugs per bird per day Is
apt to be quite small. Regardless Of
the size of the range most pullets are
a little shy and will not often wander
far from their colony houses Even
when the flock is very small the use
of the growing mash pays and results
in a better development for fall egg
production.
The use Of dry mash hoppers in the
colony houses does not mean that the
pullets will not range to hunt for
bugs and worms. They like variety
of feed but the mash Ia always there
to balance up the feed gathered on
the range Green feed is very essen
tial in keeping the birds healthy.

"Chevon' Is Name Given
to DESIGNATE Goat Meat

Hereafter, if the efforts of number
Of organizations and individuals have
the desired effect, goat meat will be
designated by a special name which
will be comparable to pork. beef and
mutton The name selected by the
goat-raising interests in the South
west is "chevon" In reply to requests
for approval of this new name, the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture has stated that there seems to be
no reason why this name should not
be adopted and generally applied to
the meat of this domestic animal, and
it, therefore, approves the name
"chevon."
The word "chevon" was created,
after long consideration of many sug-
gestions, by organizations representing
the principal Angora-goat producing
region. 1t was made by combining
parts Of two French words, 'chevre,"
meaning goat, and "'mouton," meaning
mutton. In other words, 'chevon"
means goat mutton.

COOPERATION URGED
ON BADGER FARMERS
Most Available Way of I'M
proving the Marketing
System.
BY THEODORE MAcKLlN, wiscon-
Sin COLLEGE Of Agriculture.

Sin College of Agriculture.
Cooperative marketing is the farm
ers most available instrument for
working out better results in the mar
keting system. It is machine which
farmers can make, which they may
own and also operate. 1t is the most
hopeful means of creating improve
ments in marketing wherever keenly
interested farmers are themselves at
the bottom of the program.
Cooperation is mutual self-help. 1t
Is group endeayor to do what individ-
nails cannot do so well or perhaps not at
all. In practical operation, this self
help. group cooperative machine is
like any other physical or social ma
chine. 1t will work well or poorly de-
pending upon circumstances.
Al bicycle or a canoe gives satisfac-
ton only if the individual knows the
art Of clever operation. Many people
learn to ride bicycle or paddle
canoe who could not make either of
these devices. In much the same sense,
many farmers may learn to practice
cooperation, who could not possibly do
the main work in making co-opera-
tive organization. Others perhaps are
able to organize cooperative COM
panies which neither they, nor any
one else, would be able to use patron
ize or support permanently.
Making a machine and operating it
are separate and distinct actions. In
the practical world of business, ma
chimes are made presumably for use.
Yet this is by no means a rule that can
be blindly relied upon. The intelligent
buyer must protect himself by deciding
in his own mind before purchase,
whether or not the machine will work
as represented. He is constrained to
so decide for the reason that the ma
chine is desired only in case it will
run.
Efficient Management Necessary.
With cooperative marketing COM
panies. farmers are obliged to use SINH
lar Judgment. No matter how effec-
tiyelv designed a cooperative Organiza-
ton may be, it fails unless Loyalty sup
ported and efficiently operated. SINH
larly a poor cooperative machine
breaks down and requires reconstruc-
ton on a workable basis i'll spite of in
tense farm loyalty and high capability
of management. There are ample CO.
operative successes and failures to il
lustrate these contentious and the de-
mand they make upon farmers to pro-
tect themselves by judgment.
Every business has an objective. To
reach this goal, it also utilizes some
sort of means. With marketing COM
panies, whether private or co-opera-
tive. the means to the detectives
sought are the same, though the pur-
poses of operation may differ. The in
strument of action, the means to the
end is built upon an idea. In business
it is the commercial idea that points

[ POULTRY
POULTRY LICE AND
MITES ARE HARMFUL

Poultry lice and mites are found
wherever poultry is raised and they
retard growth and development as
well as egg production.
There are several species of lice and
they are referred to in respect to the
place they are found on the fowls as
head lice, tail lice, body lice and so
on. They are very active, and while
they do not suck blood, they live on
the plumage and scales of the skin
and do not spend much of their life off
the chickens body. Their mouth parts
are biting and their food consists of
the feathers and scales of the skin on
which they live. They are pale in
color and the eggs or nits are usually
found around the vent feathers of the
bird
1t takes a week for the eggs to
hatch and the adult Stage is reached
in IL to 20 days after the laying Of
the eggs. If they are not checked the
birds will be swarming with lice in a
short while Lice are spread rapidly
from one bird to another, but they do
not live long when off the body, due to
lack Of warmth.
In treatment of these parasites it Is
not enough to treat once and then ex-
pect the birds to be rid Of them. Lice
multiply very rapidly and must be
kept constantly in check. 1t Is pos
sible to practically rid the poultry Of
lice by proper care and treatment.
There are several methods Of treat
ing for lice and one Of the most effec-
tive measures is the use of sodium
huoride, says writer in The Success
full Farmer. This Is white powder
and can be purchased at the drug
store. Only very small amount is
needed for each bird. From the fact
that lice live only on the body of the
birds it is essential that each bird
must be treated individually. The
powder is applied with the fingers and
a pinch placed In the region Of the
head, neck, back, tail, vent and under
each thigh and wing. Rub it into these
spots or place it so that it gets to the
base Of the feathers where the lice
and eggs are. They should be treated
as often as necessary and a little pinch
of the powder in each of the above
places will make short work of the
lice.
A homemade powder for busting
may be made by mixing three parts
gasoline to one part stock dip and the
addition of enough cement to take up
the liquid and make a powder. The
bird is held with its head down and
the powder worked into the feathers.
.Mercurial ointment is rather widely
used for setting hens and is mixture
Of one part blue ointment to two parts
vaseline. Only small amount of this,
about the size of pea, Is applied In
one spot. Rub in well under each
wing and the region below the vent.
This method will reduce the numbers
of body lice but seems to have little
effect on the wing and head lice.
