Last week the law makers made great pro- gress in carrying out the compromise agreement reached after almost,con- tinuous conferences between adminis1 trative leaders and the gas tax sup- porters. The Atwood-Baxter bill, pro- viding for a two-cent gas tax to take V . immediate effect, passed the senate by a. vote of thirty to one, with Senator Bahorski, of Detroit, polling the lone negative vote. — The house focused its attention on the Evans weight tax bill which, after prolonged consideration and much amendment in the roads and bridges committee, was reported out and rush- ed through the. final stages of passage with only three negative votes out of the ninetyseight members responding to this important roll call. As this report goes to press there is every prospect that the senate will pass the Evans weight tax and the house will endorse the Atwood—Baxter gas tax, and the two bills will receive the executive signature by the. end of this week. :1: 311 * POOH-MAKING history is being written at such a rapid rate that: its real significance can hardly. be ap- preciated. A few weeks ago none of us would have dreamed that what is being enacted so rapidly could ever have been accomplished during the first short month of the legislative ses— sion, but in the midst of these truly significant developments one cannot help but pause for a moment's reflec- 11011. One is reminded of the old saying, “Truth crushed to saith will rise again," by the passage. of the gas tax through the senate by an overwhel- ming vote. The scenes surrounding its final passagc VVt‘l't' Certainly far differ- ent from [how- which occurred two years ago whom, al'lcr 21 most bitter fight, days and (‘Yt‘ll “'1'ka of delay, and hours of frantic debate, the bill was DZlSSl‘d by :1 vole of lliuctcvn to eleven, only to later receive the ex- ecutive veto. Among the thirty senators who vo'L1 cd for the gas tax this year, there were four who voted against it a year ago. Senator Bahorski, of Detroit, was the only senator who registered his vote against, {hog-as lax this year. The other six gas tax l'OeS failed to be re- turned to the senate. >l~' >2: :1: ENATOR WOOD, of Detroit, tried to striko out the immediate effect clause in tho bill, and attach a pro— vision which would put the, whole prop- osition up to :1 vellum-1111mm vote of tho pcOplo at the coming spring election.

At- wood, of Chicago, brother of, Senator Orville E. Atwood, of Newaygo, was the principal speaker. In a very elo- State Capitol News By Our Lammg Correspondent ‘ HERE is every prospect that the legislature will accomplish the disappointment at so much talk con- cerning referendums. He declared, “If the men who wrote the Constitution had submitted it to a. referendum vote of the people it would have been beat- en ten to one, because the people were not in a frame of mind to accept such a. thing at that time. Such is the case today on so many of the questions put to a vote of the people. " * EVEN with the highway financing snarl coming nearer to a final and satisfactory settlement every day. there is little chance of the legislative session becoming dull or monotonous. The whole subject of legislative redis- tricting is yet to be fought out. The Detroit delegation will, of course, in- sist upon something being done at this session. Many up-state members will favor leaving things stand as they now are until the constitutiorial convention which will probably be held in 1927. The Federal Child Labor Amend- ment which will be submitted to the Michigan Legislature for ratification or rejection, is another subject which piomises to become an interesting battle. :11 =(: Cl: EPRESENTATIVE Fred F. Mc- Eachron, of Hudsonville, is reviv- ing the perennial question of capital punishment. Bills 011 this subject have proved real battles and aroused a high degree. of oratory during the past two legislative sessions. In both quent address on the American 00114 stitution, Mr. Atwood expressed keen, years they hire been defeated by nar- ' row margins in the house. In 1921 the ‘ meas‘sur‘e lacked only onewote of pas~ sage.

It is provided that “no defendant, convicted wholly by circumstantial ev- idence, shall be punished by death." It provides that “all : The death sentence would be executed ' by electricity at a time not less than - 100 days following the conviction, as .9 l the court might adjudge. It :9 # HE discussion that has been brew- ing for several months regarding the advisability of changing the name of the Michigan'Agricultural College, came to a head when Representathe A1thu1 C MacKinnon, of Bay City,p r0< posed a bill to have this institution called the Michigan State College. From all appearances today this bill will not find entirely smooth sailing in the legislature. It would appear that the advisability of making the proposed change depend considerably upon just what the fu~ ture developments are to be at; the- East Lansing institution. If it is to: become a second university, giving a. broad training in the arts and sciences, then, no doubt, the name Michigan. State College would mom accurately l desc1ibe the institution. WANT TARIFF ON HIDES. LIVE stock associatious are asking congress to fix a tariff of six cents per pound on, green hides and fifteen cents a pound on dry hides. They are also asking the President to declare an addition of fifty per cent to the present tariff rates on canned meat and tallow. The Interstate Commerce Commission is being urged by the live stock men to reduce the rates on live stock and meats. LIVE STOCK FREIGHT RATES. STUDY just made by th Bureau of Railway Economics into 111673. lationship commodity prices bear to transportation costs, showed that the freight charges on live stock repre- sents only five. and threo=fifth cents of each dollar the purchaser paid for the live stock, while the producer or seller at point of shipments realized not pro- coeds of 912-5 cents, other costs of distribution being three cents. This study was based on sales of 6,000 car- loads of cattle, calves, hogs and sheep made at the ten principal markets. It was found that the better the grade sold, the greater the proportion of the dollar which went to the producer, and the smaller the proportion that was absorbed in freight: charges. HOOVER IS COOLIDGE’S CHOICE. SECRETARY of Commerce Hoover was President Coolidge's choice for sec1cta1y of agriculture. But he has declined to consider the transfer. “In doing me the honor to suggest that I consider transfer to the post of score tary of agriculture,” says Mr. Hoover, “the President expressed his belief that the present need of the depart- ment was an administration In which emphasis should be given to solution of the farmer’s marketing problems. To this I fully agree. Nevertheless, I feel that in the future, as in the past, the g1eatest contlibution I could make to the impiovement of the farmei’s position lay in the advancement of measures that make for the reduction” of costs in our whole distribution sys~ tem and in helping to bring about 1111‘ provcmenl and stability in the general industrial and commercial situation both at home and abroad.” FOR BETTER WATERWAYS. HE $39,000,000 rivers and harbors bill, as passed by the House, con- tains a section authorizing a prelimh nary survey of a proposed twenty-five- foot ship canal from the Great Lakes to the Hudson river. This is takcn to indicate that in case an agreement can~ not be reached between the Canadian and American governments as to the construction of the St. Lawrence canal project, efforts will be made to develop an all-American waterway from the lakes to tidewater. Stops are now be- ing taken to deepen the channel of the Hudson river from tidewaler up to Albany. New York, to a minimum depth of twenty-seven feet, making it navigable by ocean—going vessels. THE COST OF BREAD. HE Copper—Brand bill providing standard weights for bread is at- tracting much attention. The bakers claim that the consumers would not be benefited, but Senator Capper declares that enormous profits are being taken by the bread makers, and that the pub~ 110 should be protected from short- weight bread. Representative Brand says we are making bread in this coun- try at the lowest labor cost of any country in the world. “’61 sell bread at eight to nine cents for what pur- ports to be a. pound loaf, while in Eng- land and France bread sells at from three to four and one-half cents per pound. _/ warm“. ...~ . _ “1...... .,....mc’"4"'r” 7'1!"

The product must be in the consum- er’s hand before this process is-com- plete.‘ Successful production is that which meets the demands of the , , market. The thought that sucbess in produc- tiOn Was attained when large quanti- ties were the result," is now known to be erroneous, More quantity is not the end, to be sought. It is needless to produce Quantities in excess of the demand. Wise prouuction is that which is in harmony With market demands. This implies that the product must be of the’uuality wanted and in the quan- tity to. meet requirements. of the con- sumers. Producer Must“ Know Market Demands. . No producer can wisely produce things for a market unless he is fam- iliar with the demands of that market. The .manufacturer and trader in goods have long known the importance of studying their markets. Studies of what people want, how much they want, and just how they want them, are constantly being made by the suc- cessiiul trader. The farmer who is producing for the market must make a study of his market in the same manner. He must know whether the product he offers is thething wanted and just what factors influence demand. Unless such infor- mation is at hand, agricultural produo tion is apt to be wasteful and not re munerative to the farmer. The dairyman, selling Whole milk is producing a product which goes into . consumption almost immediately. The prOCess of production and marketing is continuous and rapid. The product of today goes to the consumer tomor- row. In order for this movement through the market to be orderly all parts of the. production and market machinery must work in harmony. The action‘ of all those connected with the task of giving whole milk to the city consumer must be such that the mar— ket machine works Without friction. Milk Distributor a Necessary Market Agency. ' With the development of cities there came a separation of the producer and consumer. The crowding of great num—V bers of people in cities has made it necessary to be more careful about sanitation. Keeping live stock in cit- ies is not conducive to health. At first, the tendency was for milk to be sup— plied by farmers living within driving distnnee. As cities grew the adjaca-nt land becanm more valuable for city uses than for milk production. Thus. milk production was pushed farther away from the city. The development of rapid transportation facilitated this. In the case of large cities it is impos— sible to produce sufficient milk to sup- ply the needs of the consumers within driving distance of the market. it also takes the production of several thou- sands of dairymen to supply the re- quirements of the city. It is not feas- ible for the city to be supplied by so many thousands of distributors. This trend in the development of modern city life has made it necessary lilat some market" agency be supplied to collect milk from thousands of produc— ers and carry it to the door of the mil- lions of consumers. The day of close personal contact between producer and consumer has passed. There is need for some agency to fill this gap. It is not pertinent to the problem whether this market agency be owned by some private dealer or cooperative- ly by consumers or producers, or by .the government. The physical tasks ‘of milk collection and distribution must be performed by some one. The =§§§n ,p ownership of the market ,J\ Mlllestributor - ‘milk should be used; one quart for Homer agency is another matter which time and experience will answer. More Milk Should Be Used. There is no question but that milk is one of the best foods consumed by man. Health experts tell us that more children and one pint for adults daily. In the city ‘of Detroit it is estimated that per capita milk consumption is about seven—tenths of a pint daily. Those in the business of milk produc— tion and marketing should, from the standpoint of public welfare, do every— thing possible, to cause greater quan— tities of milk to be used. This is to the interest of the public, the dairy- man, and the milk distributor. The dairyman is vitally interested in the city milk market for it is-there that forces work which determine the re- turn he is to receive for his efforts. Dairymen Interested in Milk Con- sumption. The gross returns to the dairyman depends upon the price he receives for milk and the quantity he sells. The quantity of milk the dairyman can sell, at fluid milk prices, depends upon the amount the distributor can sell to con— sumers in the city. The separation of the producer from the consumer and the presence of the milk distributor are causes for dairymen to lose their interest in the city consumer. Too often, the producer of milk thinks only of the distributor as the buyer of his product. Interest in the consumer is entirely lost. It is assumed that the distributor is the one who “sets” the price which is to be paid and deter— mines the amount of the “surplus.” The consumer is left out of the con— sideration entirely. This is not true when the farmer sells directly to the consumer for in such cases he knows that the consumer is of paramount im— portance. The dairyman is, therefore, vitally interested in the consumption of milk in his city market. Function of Distributor Should Be Known. No one can intelligently sell a prod- uct in any market unless he knows the factors influencing that market. The dairyman is closely connected with his market and should be familiar with the neeCessary functions of those who handle his product and carry it on to the consumer. There. has not been a proper understanding of the functions of the milk distributor. Too often has he been considered an unnecessary factor in the milk market. The dairy— man, as well as the consumer, should know just what services are performed by this market agency and why these sender‘s must be performed by somc~ one. Services of middlemen of all kinds have been subject to severe crit— icism because they have not been un— ll':’:'.Barend DeRoo shrugged his- great , shoulders. ' “Ten-ten-ten. Do I hear‘eleven?

And a bargain.” Adam Ooms mopped his bald head and his cheeks and the damp spot under his chin. Ten dollars. Adam Ooms knew, as did all the countryside, this was not the sum of ten dollars merely. No basket of food, though it contained nightingales’ tongues, the golden apple of Atalanta, wines of rare vintage, could have been adequate recompense for these ten dollars. They represent- ed sweat and blood; toil and hardship; hours under the burning prairie sun at mid-day; work doggedly carried on through the drenching showers of spring; nights of restless sleep snatch~ ed an hour at a time under the sky ' in the Chicago market place; miles of weary travel down the rude corduroy road between High Prairie and Chi- cago, now up to the hubs in mud, now blinded by dust and blowing sand. A sale at Christie’s, with a minia- ture going for a million, could not have met with a deeper hush, a more dramatic bubble following the hush. They ate their lunch together in one corner of Adam Ooms’s hall. Selina. opened the box and took out the dev— illed eggs, and the cup cakes that had fallen a little, and the apples, and the sandwiches sliced very, very thin. The coldly appraising eye of all High Prai- rie, Low Prairie, and New Haarlem watched this sparse provender emerge from the ribbon-tied shoe box. She offered him a sandwich. It looked in- finitesimal in his great paw. Suddenly all Selina’s agony of embarrassment was swept away, and she was laugh- ing, not wildly or hysterically, but joy- ously and girlishly. She sank her little white teeth into one of the absurd sandwiches and looked at him, expect- ing to find him laughing, too. But he wasn’t laughing. He looked very ear— nest, and his blue eyes were fixed hard on the bit of bread in his hand, and his face was very red and clean-shav- cn. He bit into the sandwich and chewed solemnly. And Selina thought: “Why, the dear thing! The great big dear thing! And he might have been eating breast of duck .Ten dollars!” Aloud she said, “What made you do it?” “I don’t know.

NYONE who reads the New Tes- tament will discover that Christ knew a good deal about the world of nature. The references'to rural life come out so easily and nat- urally that it is unmistakable that the speaker had been familiar with rural life from childhood. Abraham Lincoln’s stories smell of the soil. It does not require a philosopher to understand that the man who tells these stories had mingled with farmers, frontiers- men, and small town merchants. Christ’s parables likewise are of the world of our-door life, and the touches are so intimate that the reader cannot but see that the speaker has a rural- minded background. Take some of the parables. “I am the good shepherd.” The shepherd, he says, goes before the sheep and they "know his voice. This de- scription Would 'not fit an Ameri- can scene at all, for the American does not go be- fore the sheep, leading them by a peculiar call, as does the eastern shepherd. There is the parable of the vineyard in Luke 20. The. scene is one that describes the wine—making industry of the time. Large vineyards were often let to tenants who were to pay the owner in wine or cash. These men were sometimes a rough lot and would not do it, and are compared to the men who refused to receive Christ when He came. Then, there is the prodigal son. The whole flavor is that of country life. The famine that arose; the only position open, that of a swine— herd; the old father evidently living where he could see a long way down the road; the calf that was kept for some occasion of feasting; the older brother who was in the field, and would not come to the house—could anything be more typical of farm life that this? URN to the parable of the sewer. It is a keen analysis of human na- ture in the terms of growing crops. The seed that fell from the sower's hand was treated in four different ways, and these ways are like the classes of humans. The one sort fell on the hard soil by the road, and birds quickly get it. That. is like shallow people. The second class of seed fell on light and porous soil that could sprout the seed but could not keep it growing. That, too, said the Teacher, is like some people. They start but they cannot finish. Other seed got. into ground that was foul with Weeds, and the weeds choked the growing crop. And that is like folk who allow wor— ries, cares, anything and everything to stunt and destroy the growth of the soul. Good seed and good soil. That is the last combination, and a big crop results. And that is like some of the line and noble souls that, we have all known. iut this truth of receiving the message of God and letting it grow, is all told in terms of the farm. It. might — have been given in terms of the city; of wealth and society and books. But it wasn’t. And it is doubtful if such a message could have been more pow- erful or more impressive, in any other garb. Much teaching is carried into the. minds of the readers which refers to nature, but is not exactly in parabolic form. He refers to the lily of the field, the ravens, the birds of the air and the fish in the lake. And these, too, he uses as mighty weapons with which to break down the doors of opposition of his hearers, or to awaken them out of mental torpor.‘ This is all very different from Paul. Paul is the city man. Very few Nature arid" Master l Teacher Our' Weekly Sermon—By N. A. Mchmt 'less references will be found in his letters to country life. He likes to compare the Christian to the army, with its spearmen and charioteers, or to the athlete, competing for honors. With the other New Testament writers it is the same. Peter, James, John use lit— tle language of rural life with which to buoy their teachings. If Christ began his work with rural people, speaking to them in the terms of rural life, is it not time that He should be given His rightful place in the rural life of today? All sorts of things, we are told, are needed for the building up of American farm life. And the greatest need of all is the same need which characterizes the city, the need of a religious civilization. A coun- try-wide survey of rural churches re- veals the fact that one-seventh of rural communities are without any church, while in other sections there is over— churching and rivalry that is nothing than shameful. These over- churched communities receive outside aid in one-fifth of the cases. There would be some more vigorous teaching in parables, if the Great Teacher were here now. Please note a vital fact. Christ spoke of trees and farm crops and farm hands and the changing sky, and vine- yards he saw in it all a meaning. Ilt‘ was His own interpreter. Probably no one ever pointed out to him the beauty in the flower at His feet, or the significance of the sower as he sOWed his crop, unless his mother did, when he was a boy. He saw these, meanings and beauties because they were in llimself. When you look at the red dening sky at sunset and stop to drink in the glory of it, you do that because the scene finds a response in yourself. The sunset is in your own soul, and you react when you see it without. Your horse never stopped to express his appreciation of a landscape be« cause he is incapable of it. In other words, Christ could see the hidden meanings of life about Him. HE dweller in the country can also cultivate this faculty. Anybody can, for that matter. And he who does this enriches his own life a thousand fold. I remember one day, when a student in college, of being halted at a railway junction for four hours. I fretted over it, saying that there was nothing there to interest me. Priesently my professor of botany appeared on the seeiie. He, too, was obliged to wait. But he was not at all in my state of? mind. He found it a most in- teresting place, that hot and dusty junction. For between the tics and beside the. tracks were growing weeds of various kinds, and he began to tell me about them. They Were like old friends, who were there as a reCeption committee, awaiting his coming. He told me of the peculiar habits of some of these, how far north they grew, how far south, how they had been brought to this country from Europe, and what pests of agriculture some of them had become. The professor had the seeing eye, the trained eye. Think of what beauty \\'hittier found in a snow storm, when he wrote "Snow Bound.” One day John Muir saw a rain drop in the mountains. He spoke of it; as “a silvery newborn star with lake and river, garden and grove, valley and mountain, reflected in its crystal depths, angel of love sent on its way.” SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 1.

"5 ET us consider color as applied L to the kitchen, for today the kitchen is receiving a lot of at- tention. First, it was seen that a kitchen should be well lighted, not primarily for the benefit of the house- wife, and coincident with this was the recognition of the kitchen as a place, above all, of efficiency. This led to it becoming a. light room, with good painted woodwork for easy cleaning, and light colors to promote the feeling of cleanliness. The status of the kitch- en has thus been improved, with ben- efit to the physical health of those who work in it. But we want. more. “We want mental well-being attended to as well. The problems of modern ser- vice in the kitchen would be easy to deal with if they stopped short at get- ting the physical put right. But the kitchen should not only be clean and bright, it should also be pleasant to work in. One of the many ways of this problem is to look at the solving kitchen from a decorative point of view. There should be colors in it both gay and bold without any appearance of being too whimsical. White walls and yellow paint are an effective combina- tion. \Vhite tiling is excellent, but ex- pensive. In lime-washing, however, we have a fair and economical substitute. The range itself has usually been an invariable black, but there are modern ranges with a colored enameled body, and even when the finish is black there is the possibility of enlivening it with a white tiled surrounding to which interest can..be given by a few Dutch tile pictures interspersed at in- szarz'z‘e Recipe C 0722‘652‘ IT'S been quite some time since we had a recipe contest so you must have several good reci- pes laid by. For our contest this week send in your favorite reci- pe. To simplify the judging, please send only one recipe.

Then we come to the windows. The curtains should be of: the simplest character and of washable material. Those with a. check or stripe in the material add a. feeling of gayness and brightness. Now the floor: A black and white - Make the Kitchen 21 Happy Place By a Touc/z 0fColor and a Little Planm'flg It “Pepr Up” t/ze”H0wewz‘fe well, and if laid with the squares par- allel tquthe. sides of the roomwinstead of extending diagonally, a. more pleas- ing effect is obtained. Should the kitbhen be an old one with a stone- flagged floor, cocoanut fibre matting is a geod covering, but it shows marks plainly, if of the quite plain variety, and these marks are hard to remove. \Ve commend the variety of this mat~ ting which is dyed in various colors to form a. simple pattern on the sur- face, for in this way one gets a further introduction to color. The movable furniture 'of the room, such as chairs and tables, offer little scope for color. Painted furniture in the kitchen is not suitable. Cover the table with linoleum. On the shelves of the cupboards have your canisters of some gay color. A long row of them makes a sensible and satisfactory feature on the ap- propriate shelf. You can paint them yourself—Julia Wolfe. FROM A COOK’S BAG OF TRICKS. XVONDER how many of our Mich— igan Farmer readers make apple pics with one er’ust occasionally? If. you. want. hubby to smile, try this. Line deep pie pans with crust rolled a little thicker than usual. Slice ap- ples into a pan and add one cup of sugar, two level tablespoons of flour and a sprinkling of salt for each pie intended. Also a. sprinkling of cinna- mon if desired. Stir well and fill the crusts. Then pour half a cup, either of sweet, or not too sour cream over each‘ pie. Sift on more sugar if ap- ples are tart, and bake in a slow oven until apples are tender and slightly browned. One may leave out cinnamon and sprinkle shredded cocoanut over the tops after pouring in cream. lf by any chance you have some stale cake, do not throw it away, but serve it in slices with this sauce.

It is not neces- sary to keep the plant roots in water or to soak the soil continuously. To keep the air damp, nothing has been found which equals a pan of water set on or near the stove, register, or radi- ator, says Nature Magazine. The wa— ter in the pan is evaporated and dis— tributed through the air, reducing the transpiration from the plants. Spray- ing the leaves with water every clear day also increases the moisture con- tent. and acts as a. general tonic to the plant. \Vatering the plants two 01' three times at day is not good practice. Best Way to Water. For winter plants a good general rule to follow is to watch the soil at the top of the pot. When it is thor- oughly dried out, water the plant. \Vhen watering, add enough to satur» ate the entire mass of soil. Do not just wet the top and trust to luck that the soil in the bottom will get wet enough. One can usually be assured check linoleum meets our case very that the entire mass of soil is soaked when water runs out of the bottom of the pot. ‘HAVE A SPE-LLING BEE._ N old-fashioned , spelling bee easily furnishes a. half-hour of merriment for the community party. The leader , may choose two captains, each of whom may choose fifteen spellers for his side. One person may preside at the. dictionary in order to settle any disputes and to supply the meanings of words ”when requested. The leader, or “teacher,” may make the spelldown more interesting by choosing type words in groups of ten. For instance, one group may be on agriculture, one on dress material, one on history, and so forth. One group of words may contain a great many L’s, T’s, and R’s. The leader will need to give a. few in- structions for the spelling of these words. Instead of saying the letters, the speller is required to raise his right hand for L, raise. his left hand for T, and whistle for R. If the speller says either of these letters instead of making the correct motion or sound, he is dropped out of the contest. "RECIPES FOR THE SWEET TOQTH.

COOPERATE TO PREVENT, POUL- ' TRY pesrfag’" " HE European fowl pest which has been causing much trouble in this country has not yet entered Michigan. But for precautionary measures, the United States Bureau of Animal 1n— dustry has stationed Dr. E. PfShaffter in Detroit to Cooperate with Dr. H. J. Stafseth, of M. A. C., in watching for outbreaks of this disease. It is a. dis- ease Which is very contagious and at- tacks particularly chickens, turkeys and geese. SOUR MILK BEST FOR CHICKS. We have a separator and would like to know if the skim-milk is without foam and cold, is good for the li'ftle chicks? Or is it better to leave it stand and let it get sour? Which is the best?—M. P. Poultrymen'consider it best to feed sour milk instead of sweet milk be- cause changes from'one to the other may cause digestive troubles. .If sweet milk is placed in the feeders it usu- ally becomes sour before it is all used. I have a. large crock which usually contain 5 some sour milk as a. reserve supply for chicks. When there is a pail of fresh skim-milk for the hens I often add a. cupful of the sour milk to the pail and after it has stood a. short time it all seems sour. Sour milk is also considered best be.— .cause the lactic acid seems to retard digestive disorders and helps to pre- vent white diarrhea. The chicks have also been found to digest sour milk more readily than sweet milk. TURKEY LACKS VIGOR. Our tom turkey is about three years old and he hasn’t strutted or gobbled all Winter. He was all right last year, and appears to be in good health now. He is fat and is possessed with an enormous appetite. As spring is ap- proaching it seems as though he should strut and gobble. Do you think he is too old, or could he be too fat? I am feeding whole corn and 0ats.—VV. L. P. A tom is usually in good breeding condition and in good health when it often struts and spreads its tail feath- ers. A bird that seems to lack one! Ty is not a good breeding prospect. Th s bird may be too fat and will cause a. lack of fertility in the eggs. As the days become warm and spring-like, I would watch this bird carefully and discard him as a breeder if he does not seem to be normal. TURKEY WITH COLD. Have a turkey pullet that breathes hard. Seems to rattle in throat. 'Bo*w~ els are good. Eyes bright, and no oth— er symptoms apparent. If a disease, is it contagious CL-Subscribcr. The hard breathing and rattling is due to a. cold or some foreign material lodged in the bird’s throat. Examine the throat and nostrils. Remove any mucous from the nostrils with tissue paper and inject commercial disinfect- ant or a solution of potassium perman— ganate with a medicine dropper. See that the bird roosts in a spot free from draughts. There is no reason why a. turkey should not recover from a cold and with the coming of spring weather the condition will probably improve. Colds and roup are contagious and it is best to isolate such-a bird from the healthy-members of thej‘flock. “5- ,-; .

The plan given below is subject to all, kinds of variations to suit the desires of the members; but a general outline of the idea, as it has been worked out in‘one community during the past. two summers will enable any group of farmers to adapt it to their conditions. The purpose of the “meat ring" is to supply fresh meat weekly for the farm table during the period from May to October. From twmity to twenty- two farmers make up the “meat ring" and the idea has mct with grout suc- cess. It is said that a Canadian farm— er, who moved into the community, introduCed tho idea. The way it. works is, briclly, as follows: I. During the fall or winter a commit- tee of mcn mukcs the round; of the community and sccuro thr- namcs of all the farmers who wish to join for the year. These mou are then. called together to lay tho plans for tho "ring” for the coming scuson. Each mombcr must supply one stocr for lllt‘ “meat ring,” and the dates upon which the animals are to be. delivered to the per— son selected for “ring" butchcr are fixed at this first nit-cling. It is an unwritten rule that tho steers must be, healthy, lit for butch- ering, and must dross ~£00 pounds, or as near that Weight as it is possible, to have thcm. The “ring" butchcr con— stitutvs the authority on those points. The member's steer is dcliwrcd to the butcher on the Thursday of his allotted week, and is killed, coolcd and cut up on Friday so that the members can obtain their fresh meat on Satur— day morning. The steer is blocked on’ and cut into twunty different portions, or according to the number of families in the “ring.” The butcher keeps a schcdulc for each lllclllbtd‘ which tolls just what. portion of tho carcass he has received. The division of the meat is so arranged that by the time the season is finished, each member gets One each of all the various cuts. 111 other words, cuch momhor guts u whole slm-r by Ilu- cud of tho season.

No food taken into the system of animals goes more directly into the blood than the water they drink. Impurity ol’ the blood caused from drinking impuro water must inevitably produce diges- tive disorder and ultimately discziso. During the winter and spring months there is greater danger of shocp drink- ing impure water than at any other time of the year. At; this time the flock confined to limited quarters is dependent upon their shepherd l‘or sus- tenance. If the water supply is scanty and unclean, the sheep are sure to drink from little pools of water that gather in low depressions about the yard. These little pools of watcr ac- cumulate ’l'rom thawing ice and snow and rain water percolating through the straw and manure, gathering up dis ’ Arrange Meat Ring Now ‘ease germs that, when taken into the ,sheep's system starts trouble. Drinking water full of injurious bac- teria is one of the common and most dangerous causes of winter ailments among sheep, and particularly, among pregnant ewes. I have known of sev- eral heavy losses to occur among flocks of shecp traceable to drinking water from stagnant pools about the yard and pasture during the winter months. The water supply for the breeding flock at all times should be very close- ly guarded. Water drawn from deep rock wells is prol'e‘ahle.—~L. C. R. VALUABLE PROGRAM FOR SHEEP OWNERS.

It is possible that wheat prices will have a good-sized setback if specula- tive holders start to unload and run the market into a period of liquidation. CORN The upswing of corn prices under extensive speculative buying, with ru- mors that the movement was about to fall off, and that much of the new corn would not be conditioned for de- livery on contracts, finally spent its force. Speculative holdings are being disposed of and the advance seems to have attracted a larger movement from the country, instead of the shrinkage which was expected a week ago. At the same time, the demand from indus- tries, daii‘ymen and feeders was chok— ed oif by the rise in prices. OATS Oats prices are still inclined to drag. Primary receipts are liberal, the com- mercial demand is slow, and the vis- ible supply, already of record size, is still increasing. A little export busi- ness is being done occasionally, but not enough to give sustained encour- agement. SEEDS Spring trade is increasing in the Battmglgcek, DEF.“ s Atchison, since the first of the year. Prices for 92-score creamery were: Chicago 370; New York 380.

POTATOES The weakness in the potato market brought about by increased carlot ship- ments after the holidays,‘seems "to be over and the market has turned strong at the decline. The carlot movement still continues heavy and is practically of record size for this season of the year. Northern round .whites are quot- ed at $1.10@1.20 per 100 pounds in the Chicago carlot market. WOOL The wool market is a little and less buoyant than before t days. the L0 days, HAY The hay market is slow, with a rath- er weak tone because of increased re- ceipts and reduced demand resulting from'milder weather. Stocks of tim- othy in southern markets are light, but the demand. is onlyw fair and the prin- cipal northern cities are well supplied with current receipts. In general, sup- ply and demand conditions seem to be strong enough to sustain hay prices somewhere around the present level, but there is little to indicate a. large advance, except where local conditions- dominate. POULTRY AND EGGS Fresh egg prices dropped abruptly in a. decline of more than three cents a dozen last week, although they are slightly higher at the close. Recent high prices have cut into domestic consumption, however, with the disap- pearance from the four leading mar- kets last week falling 20 per cent be- hind the Week preceding. This cur- tailed demand has been almost Wholly responsible for the price declines. Re- ceipts since January 1 have been the smallest in the corresponding period in four years. Chicago—Eggs, miscellaneous 53@ 54c; dirties 45@46c; checks 45@460; spotted he 1101.? Attention has been focussed on ndon sale during the last two where prices opened at steady to 10 per cent below the previous sale. With American buyers continuing in- active, the slower tone at London is easy to understand. These conditions do not mean that a decided decline is imminent, but further advances will be made with increasing difficulty. \Vool prices are 50 per cent higher than last July and it is a question how keenly buyers of woolen goods will take held during the heavyweight sea- son, which will open in the next few, weeks.’ The wool market is quite strong statistically, but, at some level, high prices will become a controlling Kane.
