Agricultural Notes

ems. Prices paid to farmers for
chickens were higher in 1926
than in any recent year, while
egg prices were slightly lower
last year than in 1925, the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute reports
in it's annual review of the egg
and poultry market. With in
creased production and market re-
ceipts of poultry, which sold at
higher prices than the year before,
the consumptive demand in 1926
was excellent. Retail prices for
hens in 81 cities, according to the
United States Department of La
Dor, averaged 7 per cent higher
than the year before.
The remarkable period of ur-
ban prosperity in recent years is
given as the reason for the favor
able prices for eggs and poultry
compared with feed costs. Full
employment, big pay rolls, factory
wages relatively higher than food
costs, and a rising standard of liv-
ing have tended to increase per
capita consumption, particularly
poultry. And there has been a
steady growth also in the city pop
ulation to be fed. More than 10
million consumers have been add
ed since. 1920, all in cities and
towns. In addition, it is probable
that backyard poultry keeping n
cities and towns has declined, the
hen house being displaced by a
garage. This, too, has broadened
the market for farm poultry pro-
ducts.
The apparent distribution of
eggs into consuming channels was
three per cent greater in 1926 than
the year before, so that the re-
serve holdings is not attributed en-
tirely ito a gain in consumptive
demand, but also to lower retail
prices for eggs which averaged 10
per cent lower than in 1925. Con
sumption was larger, but lower
prices were necessary ito bring il
about, the Institute declares.

Creamery Institute Forecasts
Lower Hog Prices


The hog is farm product that
year in and year out can be de-
pended upon to return a good
profit when made definite part of
a well-diversifed plan of farming,
according to the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute, in survey
covering hog prices for the last
81 years. In fact, no farm ami
NAL other than the dairy COW, de-
clares the Institutes authorities,
responds with cold cash more
quickly to good feeding and
care. In a well-balanced program
OF intensive farming, which in
cludes the dairy cow, the sow
and the hen and an abundance Of
home grown feeds, the hog fits in
admirably as a utilizer of farm
by-products such as skimmilk, in
ferior grain and waste feed in the
fields.
While those who produce hogs
every year find it profitable en-
terprise, the size of the profits var
les widely owing to the tendency
OF prices to move up and down in
cycles ranging from three to five
years in length. These swings are
due to the fact that some farmers
who do not ordinarily produce
hogs get into the business. Prices
are depressed when the increased
number of hogs comes to market.
These low prices cause the oc-
casional producers to get out again
and others to reduce their herds.
After this curtailment has oc-
CURED, market receipts are small
and prices are highly profitable for
those who had the foresight to
stay in the hog business. This sit
uation continues until the magne-
tism of good prices results in ov-
reproduction again.
Hog producers fare much better
when they do not produce too
many, declare the experts for the
Institute. More hog money was
paid producers for the fewer
number of hogs sold in the past
year than when they were flooding
the market in 1923 and 1924.

Auto Oil for Pigs

Oil drained from the crank case
of an automobile effectively de-
stroys lice on hogs, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t may be poured into the
hog wallow when the weather is
mild. During cold weather, how
ever, it is best to sprinkle the oil
on the hogs with a sprinkling can,
caking a number of light applica-
tons at intervals of about ten
days. Don't cover the hogs thor
oughly with oil at one time. APP
ply some of the oil to their ears
with swab, as the lice may lay
eggs inside the ears.

a big family of children had one who
was a scared-cat that was afraid OF

ashamed of this inheritance that she
long ago fought it out of her system,
except that the sudden snap-out OF an
electric light, somehow, makes her one

GERMAN POLICE DEMUR

Completing Seven Years Duty

service by which they may not marry
until after the completion of seven
years Of service.

SAYS Richard Betnareck, president OF
the General Federation of Prussian
Police Officials, "for policemen to be
degraded to the rank of citizens of the
second class and to be placed under

Betnareck points out that the law
breeds dishonesty. because many cops
contract secret, common-law mar
riages. or, if they appear before the
marriage clerk, conceal the fact that
they are policemen.
A marriage thus contracted Is un-
der a cloud and renders the police
man incapable of doing full justice to

The constant fear that his action
may be discovered and he be dis
charged instantly weighs heavily upon
