"Ah, yes, that I am," agreed Tan, shaking his head, as though it pleased him. "I won't let anyone come In my yard. None of the other goata are good enough for mo. I have to be kept by myself."

"I will go on talking to you as soon 08 I have had a little meal of grain and bay." Tan had something to eat In his yard and Billy ate some hay In his own yard. Billy was with a number of other goats, as he was friendly and pleasant anil good natured. * "When I say that I am an Imported goat" commenced Tan, after a few moments, "I mean that I have been brought here from a foreign land-- that la s land from fhr away.

Co-operative marketing of eggs and poultry In the United States haa undergone great development in the last 1A years. One hundred and eightythree termers' business organisations report handling eggs or poultry or both dating 188*. They sold more than TO, 000^)00 docens of eggs for approximately $22,000,000. Although ouly 81 of the 188 organisations were of the truly co-operative type, these 81 handled 90 per cent of the egg business. Formerly practically all poultry products were Bold on a fiat price basis. Eggs brought the same price regardless of quality. Poultry, which was usually sold alive, was paid for on the pound basis with little regard to Its age or condition. This method, besides offering no Inducement to producers to improve the quality of their poultry and eggs, brought about seaaonal gluts and shortages. Improvement Made. Cheat improvement was made when poultry producers In various parts of the country adopted co-operative methods of marketing eggs and poultry, ntese efforts, at first local and primitive, eventually became quite widespread and complex. Large-scale poultry and egg co-operatives have been anccesgftilly conducted for a number of years in the Pacific Coast states. Sgg and poultry marketing has been organised co-operatively in many atates. Considerable attention has been given in the last two or three years to the co-operative method of marketing poultry In Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri. Utah, Texas, New Mexico, Idaho, Alabama, Kentucky and Virginia. In Minnesota local associations are federated for selling purposes. Elsewhere most of the recently formed associations are of the centralised, nonstock, nonprofit type. A survey In 1024 showed 31 egg and poultry marketing associations In producing regions, and 4 at terminal markets. Twenty-two of them handled both eggs and poultry. Bight handled only eggs, and one bandied only poultry. Missouri, with nine associations, was the state with the largest number; Minnesota was second, with six; California third, with four, and Texas fourth, with three; Five of 29 associations that gave the department Information as to when they began operations, were organized before 1920, and tbe remainder since the beginning of that year. Co-operative egg marketing was first developed by the present method on the Pacific coast An association was formed in 1913 in Tulare county, California, with about 100 members. In Its first year its sales exceeded $28,- 000. Last year its sales were nearly $400,000. Poultry producers of central Caliibrnia formed an organization In 1916, and this concern last year had *000,000 hens covered by its contracts. Its eggs are carefully graded and handled and are in good demand In Eastern maHreta. The Poultry Producers of Southern California, Xnc^ a oo-op* erntlve organisation formed In 1917, handled 87,533 cases of eggs In Its first year. Last year it handled 189,000 cases. In 1917 the Washington Co-op* eratlve Egg and Poultry association was formed with headquarters at Seattle. This association now handles about 800,000 canes of eggs a year, and its net worth has increased from about $1,000 to $700,000. Reoorda of Proqreea. Similar records of progrees tn co-oparatlon are cited by the United States Department of Agriculture from information furnished by cooperative egg and poultry associations in most of the other states mentioned. Poultry producers In New Jersey, faced with competition from Pacific coast poultrjmea in Eastern market*, formed an association in 1021 with 438 members. After some unfortunate experlencea this concern was reorganised in 1928, and last year it handled approximate* ly 70,000 cases of eggs. Poultry and eggs have been marketed co-operatively in the last ten years through co-operative creameries in Minnesota. This plan Is considered Ideal for assembling eggs, although It has its limitations in merchandising. So as to develop a better selling organization, Minnesota poultry and egg producers put a plan in operation la 1923 which provided for district organizations federated in a state association. This association, on December 31 last, was selling products from 14,- 000 members. |tj ^e' Deer Attack§ | | and Injures G|irl ^ Chestertown, Md. -- Miss $ ^ Madge Crawford, twenty four & »•« years old, was attaoked and § gj seriously Injured by a deer while V ^ walking alone in a tourist camp, & M midway between hoe and Tol- H ^ Chester beach. a •J Mis# Crawford for some years K bas been a semi-invalid and % A slightly lame. $ S The tourist camp In which $ game was leased by the owners $ V of the camp.

In the case of poultry, generally means decayed meat. It may, however, mean moldy grains. Sometimes it comes about merely by amte Indigestion caused by clogging the system in some way, possibly by feeding too much fiber such as is found in ihe hulls of oats, barley, etc., or allowing them to eat dried, tough grass. The thing to do Is to starve the bird* for a day or no to get the crops empty and then give each one a teaspoonful or two of olive oil and empty the crop. Give the fowl in the meantime access to nothing but sand or grit and water. Then feed some easily digestible, highly nutritious feed, such as bits of raw meat that have been slightly broiled; or, if the fowl can handle it, stale, dried bread soaked in sweet milk. High Living Is Bad There Is always some mortality among hens no matter how well they are cared for. It Is probable that most of the deaths among hens are due to long confinement In good houses with rich rations, night feeding and lack of exercise. This condition tends to bring on liver trouble and other disorders. It is one of the penalties the poultryman must pay for getting a larger number of eggs. His problem is not to save a few weak sisters but to breed a race of bens that can stand the gait. ***in OATS REQUIRE GOOD SOIL TO PRODUCE A PROFITABLE CROP • : To Avoid Winter-Killing Sow Plenty of Seed. Oats are uaed mainly for hay or (rata, seldom being turned under. They should be sown on good land. On poor soils they do not give satisfactory returns in either bay or grain, and make leas growth than rye for turning under. "Yet oats make a fine crop for farmers," says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at the North Carolina State college. "Under favorable conditions they may be expected to yield 2,500 to 8*500 pounds of cured hay per acre. The hay contains 9.3 per cent protein, as compared to 5.9 per cent for timothy and 15.4 per cent for soy beans. A strong point In favor of oats Is that hairy vetch sown with them will mature at the same time, making a hay richer In protein than oats alone. "Oats often winter-kill severely. The beet way to avoid this Is to sow plenty of seed. Use at least two bushels per acre, sow them early enough to get a good start before cold weather. The beat time Is October. A good way to sow is to disk the seed in, or better still, drill them in, after corn or soy beana. It would be too late to sow them after cotton. October-sown oats tor outyield late fall or sprlng-eown oats In both hay and grain." Mr. Blair suggests that If oats begin to run up in the fall they should be grazed down or cold weather will damage them. Tbey may be grazed for a while in tbe spring, but care ahould be taken not to grace them too long. Fertiliser experiments made In North Carolina show that oats reapond well to nitrogen. However, if the land 1s fertile, or haa received a good application of fertilizer In the spring, oats need not be fertilised in tbe fall. Tbey may be given 100 pounds of nitrate of aoda per acre early In the spring if they appear to need It Oat hay should be cut when the grains are in the dough stage, then It Is easy to cure and excellent in guqjjjUj- Self-Feeders for Calf ' Not Always Efficient According to an experiment recently conducted by the dairy department of the South Dakota State college, Brookings, in regard to the efficiency of self-feeders for calves It was found that calves do not select their own rations to the best advantage-- they eat too much of the protein feeds and keep themselves too fat In another experiment as to the value of soy beans for dairy cattle, the results show that ground soy beans make a desirable feed because of their high protein content but that soy bean hay is not as cheap a legume roughage in South Dakota as alfalfa hay, consequently soy bean hay Is recommended as a feed only in localities where alfalfa and clover are not grown. Mm Close to Death After Repeated Cuppings* Montreal.--After eight times selling his blood to buy bread for his starving family,% a worker of this city has been referred to the Family Welfare association by the hospital, which found him too weak to give another transfusion. For each pint of blood drawn from the veins of his arms he received $20. With each dole he would stagger home and turn the money over to his wife to stock the larder, then he would go to bed for a few hours before going out to work. It Is computed by doctors that he sold about six quarts of blood. With the money thus secured he supported himself, wife, four young children, a widowed sister-in-law and her baby. Fight Duel to Death in Street of Chicago Chicago.--A pistol duel over a woman, who watched helplessly, resulted In the death of Edward Olson, the Woman's ex-convict husband, and In probably fatal injurtea to her friend, George Kane. The shooting, which followed a drinking party at the Olson apartment occurred In a parked automobile. The two men were In the front feat, with Mrs. Olson behind. Edward Olson was a real estate dealer, and had objected frequently to his wife's relations with Kane. George Kane, who lies near death In a hospital, was Identified as John ("Red") Flennery, alleged robber, whom police have been seeking toe iponths in connection with a murder. End Loveless Lives in Crater's Depths Tokyo.--When a young woman la Japan passes the marriageable age without having acquired a husband. It la tragedy. Recently three Japanese women who believed they were on the verge of splnsterhood went to the Asana volcano and, bidding farewell to the world of unappreclative men, leaped to death In the flaming crater. They were Takejl Kobayashl, twenty-five; Rhlka Sema, twenty-four, and Kiyo Maruyama, twenty-three. Police Investigation disclosed that they had become despondent at the prospect of loveless lives. Pay-as-You-Leave Cars Are Popular With Women Oakland, Cal.--The Key System Transit company here has adopted a pay-as-you-Ieave plan on Its local cars to avoid congestion In down-town streets. Passengers are requested to find seats or standing room quickly when they enter and to hand ojer their fares on leaving. The method Is proving popular with women passengers, especially those burdened with parcels and children. The new system is being used only on outbound cars, passengers on Inbound care continuing to pay as they enter. Surprise in Culling Many farmers have 'gone through their poultry flocks during the summer months, picked out the culls and sent them to market. Much to their surprise the remaining birds laid more eggs than did the whole flock before It was culled. This is because the good hens have a better chance at the mash hoppers and. more room in the laying hous#. say poultry specialists at the Pennsylvania State college, who advise constant culling flnifliflg the summer. fARMJiDTK Freeh manure may fee spread on the garden In the falL • • • Dockage consists of dirt straw, aand, weed seeds, and chaff.
