Co operation by Farmers. I
A' comprehensive p'an for ren
ting rid or that niurh berated
feature, the "Middleman." has
leon announced !y the promoters
of a movement embracing
fur mors in Pennsylvania and New
York. They supply tho Now
York produce market. I'luus for
a central receiviug station and
cold storage, etc., are carefully
outlined. A convention just held
at Newburgh, N. Y., considered
throwing out the middleman from
he dairy trade, the producers to
sell directly through co-opera
tive associations.
Itismoro than strange that
the American farmer has been so
slow to adopt co operative meth
ods. A recent magazine article
tells how the Eastern Counties
Association of England sells for
55 pounds seed mixtures that tho
farmers had to pay 70 pounds
for outside. A farmer walked
nto the office of the lloreford
Society one day. lie was afraid
that they had made a mistake in
their remittance to him for pears.
fhey had given him 2S shillings
per 100 weight, where previously
he had sold them for three shill
ings. -
In tho Teme valley m England,
cooperative associations took up
ho matter of transportation, and
'ot motor wagons started that
lauled freight for threo shillings
a ton that previously had cost the
farmers five shillings.
Franco is a great country for
co operative work among farm
ers. There are CO.000 members
of these societies in the province
ot Hnttauy alone. They buy
fertilizers, tools, and seed at low
rates, sell all products, secure
low rates for insurance, get more
favorable freight rates, etc.
Tho Anglo Saxon temperament
has a certain independence that
does not take kindly to co-opera
tion. particularly among a class
of people having tendencies of
isolation like farmers.
Our English cousins have simi
lar tendencies, although cooper
ative movements have made ir
greater advance there than hera.
Uut English experts feel that
British agriculture is falling be
hiud the Continent, because the
farmers don't cooperte any bet
ter.
The Consumer of course loot: a
askance at any movement to e:i
able the producer to get higher
prices. He need never fear. No
co (p'jrdtivo farm association can
ever get any hold in competition
with tho independent producer
until it beats out the independent
producer ou prices and quality.
Patterson's Run.
Sept. 111 would like to cor
rect a mistake in last week's
paper concerting a bad case of
diphtheria in the home of Bert
Wilson. I think a case of ton
silitis should be distinguished
from that of diphtheria. The
taxpayers of this township have
had enough of expense, and that
the health officers o.' McConnells
burg ought to foot the bills, in
stead of Licking Creek township,
A Citizen.
Not a Word of Scandal
marred tho call of a neighbor on
Mrs. W. P. Spangh, of Manville
Wyo., who said: "she told me Dr
King's Now Life Pills had cured
her of obstinate kidney trouble,
aud mado her feel like a new wo
man." Easy, but sure remedy
for stomach, liver and kidney
troubles. Only 23c at Trout's

SPECIAL FATTENING.
Give
the Poultry a Special Finish
Before Marketing.
A cood many dollars are lost every
year by fanners because they send
their poultry to market In poor condi
tion as regards flesh. On many faniiB
tho practice Is to ship every winter
several crates of llve poultry, younK
and old, and In most cases the speci
mens sold are picked up off the rant?e
and no attention Is paid to the condi
tion of fleHh. Tho farmer can fatten
his poultry cheaper than any one elae.
under the sun and la most canes over
a pound of weight can be added to
every fowl sold at a cost of not more
than five cents. The extra flush added
ould make tho entire consignment
sell for one or two cents a pouna
more than It otherwise would, at the
lowest estimate.
All the fowls that are to bo sold
should be selected three weeks before
the tlmo they are to bo shipped and
placed In separate quarters, suBiiestH
Tho Farmer. They should be given
a reasonably sized pen Indoors and a
fair sized yard outside, where t'icy
may exercise somewhat In fair weath
er. They should bo fed threo times a
day, morning, noon and night The
morning and noon feeds may consist
of one lurt corn meal, ono part
ground oaU with tho hulls sifted out,
one part bran and a third of a part of
high grado beef scraps. This may bo
mixed with wa'er or milk, though If
milk Is used not quite so much beef
scraps will be needed. The night feed
should bo of cracked corn. Fresh wa
ter should bo given to drink and a
box of grit and ono of charcoal should
be placed where the fowls can reach
It at any time. No more should be
fed at each meal than the birds will
eat up at one feed and any that Is
left over after 13 minutes should bo
taken away and tho feeding troughs
removed.
Colony Houses.
We got some piano boxes for the
bouses, using the largest side for the
bottom. We nailed up the top with
boards, hung a home-made door to
bottom of box and our house was
done. These houses serve the pur
pose for growing chicks as well as
those we use to buy already made.
They require so little work and are
much cheaper. M. iM. Newland, In the
Epilomist
Cost of Eggs.
What does it cost you to produce
your eggs? Do you know? I'rof.
Graham of the Storrs (Conn.) experi
ment station says: "I have been
much surprised at the data received
from several of the experiment sta
tions regarding the cost of egg pro
duction. In some cases I find cgg3
have cost as high as 18 cents a dozen
and some as low as 8 cents a dozen,
including labor. I find that, speaking
generally, the larger the rango the
less food was required; in fact, where
birds had free range the cost was any
where from 8 to 10 cents, and in
cases where the birds were on limited
range the cost was under twelve cents.
This has forced me to the conclusion
that it Is very hard work for a man
to run an intensive poultry plant and
compete with the farmer in egg pro
duction." A Country Doctor's Record.
Dr. James Morris, who was one of
the oldest medical practitioners In
Scotland, has Just died at Dunferm
line. When he celebrated his Jubilee
as a dix-tor some ten years ago he
made this statement: "During my
fifty years In practice I have attended
50,000 patients, administered chloro
form 10,000 tlmos with absolute Im
munity from fatal results, had 5,000
births (1,000 consecutive cases with
out a death), mado about 1,000,000
visits and travelled about 500,000
miles." Not a bad record for a conn'
trv medical man. Westminster
Gazette.
To Avoid Serious Results.
After eating a hearty evening meal
Edith, aged two and a half years, was
taken from the table to be washed.
"You can wash me and rock me," she
said, "but don't bend me." The De
lineator.
The only louse the poultrymnn can
afford to have around is the dead
louse. See that that Is the only kind
you keep.
In making their report at
Chambersburg last week, the
Franklin county Grand Jury
said that a separate residence for
the Sheriff and his family would
be exceptionally desirable, as it
would isolate the prisoners, avoid !
tlTo daily contact of the Sheriff's
family and prisoners, which is
now wholly unavoidable, and
would further insure health, aid
comfort to the executive.
