FARMERS TO HAVE
HUGE FEED MILL
New England Soil TiIIers
Hope to Save Big Sums by
New Experiment.
BY j. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BUFFALO, N. Y, May 6.-The
start of a determined campaign by
New England farmers to help them
selves instead OF waiting for govern.
mental or State assistance got under
full headway here today with the
farmer operation of the biggest feed
mill east of Chicago.
The purchase Of the plant was made
through the Eastern Farmers Ex-
change. with headquarters at Spring
field, Mass, which represents $4,000
farmers scattered throughout the six
New England States. The price was
s3OO.OOO. The mill, which will be run
on cooperative basis, has a storage
capacity of 100000 tons and sidings to
hold 55 freight cars.
Big Saving Expected.
The money for purchase of the
mills was advanced by several wealthy
members of the farmers organiza.
tlon, who declare the move viii mean
a tremendous saving. Little cattle
feed is raised in New England. Mem.
bers of the exchange purchase ap-
proXimately 100000 tons of fodder a
year and this total is on the increase.
IL Is asserted that purchase of feed
through the Buffalo mill not only Will
save money, but will assure better
and more uniformly graded products.
Ihe savings are counted on to pro-
vlde funding account which will pay
for the plant in a short term of years.
The hackers OF the enterprise say
that outside the direct benefit to the
members of the exchange they were
anxious to prove to the farmers of the
remainder of the country that farm
problems are up to the tillers OF the

How to Wire the House for Radio.
Part III.

The plan for wiring a number of
receptacle jacks, described in yester-
days article provides merely for a
means whereby several places can
listen in to the programs brought in
on set located in a different part of
the house. In such a scheme ii is
necessary to operate the set at point
some distance from the point where
reception is desired. The scheme work s
out we'll in some cases, but in other
cases it is desired that the set be
operated in different parts of the
house.
1t is then possible to use portable
receiver of the type which is self-con-
tanned with batteries, loudspeaker and
batteries in one unit. The teacart
type of set or the type of set In which
battery compartments are part of the
cabinet is of this type.
Ground and Aerial Connections.
In such cases what is desired is
some means Of carrying the aerial and
ground connections to various parts
of the house so that the ground and
aerial can be connected up instantly
with the terminals of the set no mat
ter where the set is brought.
This object can be attained by in.
stalling a receptacle jack in each
room where reception is desired and
connecting the aerial with one termi-
nal of each jack and the ground with
the other terminal of each jack.
The aerial terminal of the set can
then be connected with one terminal
of a phone plug and the ground termi-
nal of the set with the other termi-
nal of the phone plug.
Advantages of Set.
The set can then be bought from
room to room and the only operation

ernment.
According to the plan devised, men,
bers Of the organization will send their
orders for feed and fertilizer to a CEN
trail regional point. These orders Will
be assembled in county units and ship
ments to meet them will be dispatched
promptly from the Buffalo plant.
Business will be on a cash basis, at
the car door, this avoiding unneces-
sary haulage and storage. Farmers
will be notified of the date of arrival
of their consignments and must be on
hand to remove feed and fertilizer
without delay.
Outlook Best I'm Years.
The most cheerful situation in five
years now is confronting the agricul-
turists of the country at large. Farm
work is 10 days to two weeks further
advanced than at this time last year
The renewed hope of the farmers is
shown in the tendency to increase
acreage. Taking 100 as normal and
considering crop conditions and prices,
present and prospective, the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation
places the moral of the farmer at
S3.6 per cent.
Prospects are bright for better cat
tie and hog prices. Between rs and
80 per cent OF the Spring plowing and
planting has been\ n\completed.
