wise, will cater to it. 1t is the poul-
tryman or egg buyer whose output
is too great for local consumption
who must face the blonde-brunette
problem when he sends his product
out to market.
The great center for marketing
brown eggs is and has always been
Boston and surrounding communi-
ties. There, the preference seems
to date back to the days of the
earliest settlers. The reason it has
persisted for so long doubtless lies
in the fact that most of the Ameri-
can class breeds - all brown egg
layers-originated there.
The owner of "brown-egg" fowls
has the advantage when it comes to
supplying dressed fowls for family
use. AS for capons, these breeds
are ideal. The capons rival turkeys
for size and weight with flesh of
such tenderness and delicious flavor
it would take an expert to decide if
anything on earth could equal them.
Nevertheless, many poultrymen
whose chief concern is egg produc-
ton, hold the white egg laying
breeds in high esteem. They are
undoubtedly wonderful layers and
the various strains have been great
ly improved of. late years. Their
eggs now compare quite favorably
in size with the average run from
brown egg laying breeds and it can
no longer be said that the so-called
"all egg" breeds are less productive
than the general purpose. or brown
egg breeds during the fall and win
ter months. There are certain local
tiles where white eggs are in great
demand, whatever the reason may
be. That, after all, is sufficient rea-
son for raising the kind of fowls
that supply them.
Public preference som ct m S
changes. The situation in New York
is a good illustration of what can
happen. There, brown eggs were at
one time all but drug on the mar
ket. Early in November, 1927, white
egg prices began to decline and
brown eggs forged ahead until the
latter were soon enjoying a price
advantage of &c a dozen. Since then,
there has been considerable fluctua-
tion. In many other markets sim
liar changes in one direction or the
other have been noted.
Such changes as this are of no
little significance to poultrymen ev-
erywhere. No matter how large or
small your flock may be, if you pro-
duce eggs to sell, you want to be on
the right side. Be prepared to swing
with the tide of public desire. It
may not be the most heroic meas
ure, but, aside from Lindberg's case.
who ever heard of heroism that paid
dividends?

There are no doubt very few who
would care to take literally the oft
quoted assertion of a well known
writer that gentlemen prefer
blondes. Most certainly some gentle
men do prefer blondes, but there are
others who have a decided prefer
ence for brunettes. No man who IA
vors either the lighter or the darker
tresses would dare to say that the
color of his choice carried with it
any superior virtue, grace, or dis
tinction. He just likes what he likes
and that's all there is to it. A very
similar situation exists in the egg
market, strange as it may seem to
many of us. In some parts of the
country, brown eggs are almost un-
salable, with white ones at prem
ium, while in other places the exact
reverse is true.
Just why certain sections of the
country should be so thoroughly
prejudiced in favor of one color or
the other is something that requires
a lot more explaining than the space
dllOLI6u 10 ILLS dIllClO Will pei A1Als
No one has yet been able to discover
that the color of an egg shell has
any connection with the food value
of its contents. On the contrary, it
seems to be we'll established that if
hens laying brown eggs are fed the
same materials and cared for in the
same way as those laying white
ones, the products of both will be
absolutely equal in food values.
Nevertheless, these strange local
prejudices must be consider just as
certain merchants must reckon with
the fact that women in certain parts
of the country will accept nothing
but Clark's thread, while Coats
thread, spun on the same spindles
from identical raw materials, is the
only brand others will have.
This peculiar state of affairs is of
little interest to the poultrymen
whose entire output is consumed
locally. He knows the preference
of his own neighborhood and, if

GOVERNMENT METHODS

President Hoover is said to be strongly in favor
Of readjustng the functions of the various govern
ment departments and bureaus, that related ac-
tivities may be grouped together instead of being
scattered all over the national capital.
The best illustration of the present chaotic con-
dition of affairs given by Mr. Hoover himself
time ago when he said
"The question of governmental aids to naviga-
ton is not by any means of the principal func
tons of Government but it must be sore trial
to the hardy mariner He must obtain his domestic
charts from the Department of Commerce, his
foreign charts from the Navy Department, and his
nautical almanac from the Naval Observatory-and
he will in circumstances get sailing directions
from the Army
I'm fog he may get radio signals from both the
Navy and Commerce, and listen to fog horns and
look for lights and buoys provided him by Com
merce; if he sinks, his life is saved by the Treasury
He will anchor at the direction of the Army, who
rely upon the Treasury to enforce their will. His
boilers and ifeboats are inspected by the Depart
ment of Commerce; his crew is certified by one bur-
in Commerce, signed off in the presence of an
other and inspected at sailing time by the Treasury
and arrival by the Department of Labor"
This is but sample of government methods
and illustrates why inexcusable waste is newt
able accompaniment of government operation of
anything pertaining to business or industry

AUTOMOBILES AND CHATTEL MORTGAGES

The Herald editor does not pose financial
wizard or a successful thrift exponent but we are
a bit curious.
One evening this week we had an opportunity
to glance over the chattel mortgages filed with the
register of deeds of Stearns county during short
period of time. There was total OF " mortgages
filed; 81 of these were automobiles OF various
makes Many of the mortgages were for almost the
full face value of the The loan associations
affiliated with the auto manufacturers make it
mighty easy for almost anyone to purchase car.
The rate of interest the purchaser pays is high
enough to carry any losses the companies may
have.
The residents of Stearns county are thrifty
those of any county in Minnesota. 1t is fair to
presume that the percentage of chattel mortgages
ON autos is fully heavy in every other county
of the state as it is in Stearns.
The automobile is mighty convenient luxury.
1t gives the family a wonderful opportunity to
travel about and enjoy themselves.
1t is doubtful if the owner of the cheapest make
of gets by expense of $500 per month in
a 12-month period.
In the good old days. young people who trav-
eled half dozen miles for an evenings out
ing with dollar expense were having real
spify time. In these days of gas and speed dance
half hundred miles away is mere jaunt of
hour and half so, and of course the costs
in proportion. .~

EXPENSIVE ROADS

THE Anchor editor was held up
twenty-four hours on a trip last
week by impossible dirt roads in
southern Iowa. Besides losing
completely one day out of a short
vacation, expense was occasioned
by one hotel bill $3.50, car stor-
age, $1.00, meals for two S3.5O-a
total of $500. That sum of money
amounts to what would be three
cents gallon primary road tax
on 300 gallons of gasoline. Three
hundred gallons of gasoline will
carry the heavy car, in which the
writer was riding at the time Of
delay, 5000 miles on any fair road.
Because of the lack of a fair road
for forty miles of a seventy mile
trip one pays the equivalent of the
tax to hotel, garage and cafe men
and twiddles his thumbs while
waiting for the sun to come out
and dry the roads. Mud roads are
an denomination and a curse, a.
bar to progress and a thief of
time. Poor roads are extravgnt
roads; good roads are economical.
The figures above prove the state
ment as similar figures have prov
ed it hundreds of times before

winter may use that to advantage
A suitable grain ration may be.
made of equal parts of ground
oats and barley with 10 per cent
of oil meal added. If desired,
corn may be substituted for barley
in the above ration, or wheat bran
may be used in place of oats. On
good pasture, this ration should be
fed at the rate of pounds to
each pound of butterfat produced
while on poor pasture it should be
increased up to or pounds for
each pound of fat.
Dairymen who feed literally dur
ing July and August will largely
avoid the decreased milk flow COM
monty ascribed to flies, since
shortage of feed is really at the
bottom of most Of the trouble.
Above all, says Mr.. Searles, don't
let the cows get thin and run
down as this will cut down their
ability to produce next winter.

Agricultural Notes
Alfalfa for Pigs: Greatest
Home Grown Forage

Alfalfa for Pigs: Greatest
Home Grown Forage
Alfalfa is the most valuable for
age for pigs that can be grown on
the average farm, says the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute in it's
plan for increasing the alfalfa
acreage on Mississippi Valley
farms. In addition to providing
excellent pasture for pigs, it yields
large amount of highly palatable
protein-rich hay, which is required
for the most economical feeding of
cows as well as all kinds of pigs in
winter.
The money value of alfalfa pas
ture was shown recently at the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, where IL pigs were fed on an
acre of alfalfa pasture. These
pigs were pastured from weaving
time until they weighed around
225 pounds each. While on the al
falfa pasture, they received shelled
corn, 60 per cent meat meal tank
age and salt from self-feeders. In
addition to pasturing the pigs, this
acre of alfalfa provided a little over
two tons of hay that season.
The hay was given a conservative
value of SIP ton net in the stack,
or $24 for the two tons. To ascer-
tain the value of the corn and tank
age saved by alfalfa pasture, the
feed record of the pigs on pasture
was compared to that of similar
group of pigs fed in dry lot. Is
was found that the II pigs in alfal-
ia pasture made a gain of 1900
pounds and required 348 pounds
less corn and 551 pounds less tank
age than the pigs fed in the dry
lot. Giving corn value of "a
cents a bushel, the value of the
corn saved was $5.22. With tank
age at 81 a cwt., the value of this
feed saved was $2204, making a
total of $27.26 saved on the alfalfa
pasture-fed pigs feed bill. This
amount added to the value of the
hay makes the total value of the
one-acre alfalfa pasture for the
season $51.26.
