The rcpufollcnn and democratic stnte
wlde primaries April 1M) furnished a
number of sensations In both party
circles. Senator Hiram Johnson of
California polled a vote that was by
.far the greatest surprise of the elec
tions, and the ofllelal count Is likely
to Rive him a plurality over Leonard
Wood, his nearest opponent, of "3,000
votes. General Pershing was a poor
third. In Lancaster county, where an
extensive campaign was waged in be
half of the A. 15. F. commander, ho ran
but slightly ahead of Wood and John
son, and his showing was a great dis
appointment to his supporters, who had
expected him as a favorite son to
make a good showing.
Oti the democratic side of the pres
idential contest Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock of Omaha secured the pref
erential vote of his party by a tre
mendous majority over his lone oppo
nent, Boss of Lexington.
W. J. Bryan won a decided victory
over the Hitchcock forces, and unless
the olllclal count changes the standing
lie will have ten of the sixteen votes at

"My name," said tho Timber Wolf,
"Is Tim and I nia the son of Mr. and

It."
The other animals nenrby in the
zoo politely said they would love to
hear his story.
"Well." said the Timber Wolf, "when

I was so glad I could do It. For by

"Yes, every wolf was against these

Various Systems and Methods of
Marketing Surplus Animals
Investigated.
AID UNINFORMED PURCHASER
Purchaser Needs Advtee From Disin
terested Party In Whom He Places
Confidence Bureau of Markets
Inaugurating Plan.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With n view of effecting a system of
communication among brecdors, fann
ers, county agents, state agents and
state and nntlonal live stock associa
tions, which will enablo breeders to
dispose of their surplus more easily,
various systems nnd methods of mar
keting purebred llvo stock now In use
have been Investigated by the United
States department of agriculture
through Its hurenu of mnrkets. The
desire also is to help buyers locate
stock near home.
Breeders of purebred live stock have
felt for a long time thnt there Is need
for n closer acquaintanceship with the
live stock farmer who does not. breed
purebred animals. The breeder with
only n few animals especially often
hns difficulty In disposing of his stir
plus profitably, and the man who
never before has purchased purebred
animals frequently needs Information
relative to the location, value and
quality of the animals desired.
Such Information Is of especial
importance If It helps him In finding
what he wants near home. Although
In many Instances 'tho animals offered
by tho small breeder may lack condi
tion and are Inferior, the principal rea
son for- his Inability to sell Is the fact
that hq Is not a well-known breeder,
he Is not acquainted with the tisunl
methods of selling purebred live stock,
and he has not been able to renllzo the
value of advertising.
Must Encourage Small Breeders.
Since a substantial growing Industry
depends largely upon the success of a
large number of small breeders, It Is of
vital Importance that a reasonablo
profit from the beginning be realized
or they will become dissatisfied and
quit the business.
The principal difficulty lies In the In
ability of the uninformed purchaser to
get definite, accurate Information re
garding the kind of animals to buy
and where they can he located most
easily. The Importance of starting
with the right kind Is so vital to the
success of the business and there Is
so much misinformation that the pur
chaser needs advice from a disinterest
ed party In whom he places confidence,
The bureau of markets, In co-opera-
lon with the various state agricultural
colleges, county agents and local llvo
stock associations, Is Inaugurating a
plan which will assist buyers material
ly In obtaining easily Information re
gardlng purebred animals. The plan
Is based upon the co-operation of the
nreedors wttliln a county or commun
ity. The farm bureau or county
agents' olllce s the headquarters for
the local co-operative association and
usually the county agent Is the socio
tary.
Although many .different ways of
getting results are employed by the
vnriods local associations tho principal
object In the plan of tho hurenu of
markets Is for the association to sup
ply definite detailed Information re
giirillng the various herds In the conn
ty to those who desire It, This enables
the buyer and seller to get together
easily' In order that a sale may he
made, and when this is done the asso
elation considers It his accomplished
Its purpose. It Is obvious If the sccre
(ury Its to direct buyers he must bo
well acquainted with the breeders and
the bet ds In order to furnish the nee
essiiiy Infui umtlon readily.
Survey Is First Step.
Naturally the flrt-t step Is to make n
survey and determine the number of
breeding animals In each herd, tho
number of each sex, the age nnd quid
Ity and the kind of sire bending tho
herd, together with the exact location
and the approximate number of mil
mills offered for sale each season, this
being the Information needed. As soon
as this Infonnullon Is completed It Is
Hied In n form readily accesslblo to
any one. l)y this method fulrly com
plelo files may bo maintained by col
lectlng such data twice each year, and
when direct Inquiries nre mndo more
definite Information may be obtained
by telephone. The Information Is then
plotted on maps, which ure placed In
conspicuous places where everyone

STOCK BREEDERS

will have an opportunity to see them.
In n surprisingly short time every
farmer In the county knows where all
f the breeders within the county nro
located. In some states tho county
agent obtains a list of tho number of
animals for sale each month and this
list Is published by the state field
agent In marketing nnd distributed
within the state. In counties whero
this plan has been most successful
county agents claim to linvo done us
much ns $0,000 worth of purebred llvo
stock sale huslncitj each month.
Where tho demand is not great
enough to absorb the supply within n
county tho members of a community
use two methods for disposing of tho
surplus. One Is to conduct n consign
ment sale and sell the animals nt auc
tion. Tho other Is to advertise exten
sively ns a purebred live stock center
or county. Both methods have given
excellent results. Some communities,
however, have mndo the mistake of
rolling all or their best animals pri
vately and consigning tho culls or less
desirable animals to the sale. Such
sales are frequently n great disap
pointment and great care should bo
taken to offer nothing but high-class
anlninls nt auction, becauso visitors
aro sure to Judge the quality of a
man's herd by the animals ho consigns
to tho sale.
State Center for Information.
As soon as the survey is completed
In a county a copy of the tabulated
data Is sent to tho state field agent In
marketing whero tho data from all of
the counties are kept. The object In
filing the Information from each coun
ty with tho state field agent In mar
keting is to enable him to handle In
quiries within the state and to furnish
buyers the necessary Information scut
In by the vnrlous county agents. It
enables him to direct men In adjoining
counties and those who desire car lots
of certain breeds to certain groups of
counties which have a very lurge num
ber of animals.
The stnte field agents of tho bureau
of mnrkets, co-operating with the nut-
mill huslmndry men ot tho college,
work out plans for assisting buyers
both within and outside the state In
locating the milmals needed. They
often help county agents Hnd animals
for club members, make definite ar
rangements and plan trips for out-of-
stato buyers In order that they see the
maximum number of unlmnls at tbo
least expense. They also co-operate
with breed associations In conducting
local auction sales.
Recently the field agent In market-
Nng and tho animal husbandry special
ist In Nebraska attracted buyers from
Texas who bought 00 purebred (logs
In one lot from four ndjolnlng coun
ties. The fact that these men were as
sured that they would be shown 1,000
high-class registered breeding hogs a
day Ir. live adjoining counties wns one
of the strong arguments which caused
them to cross some of the other lead
ing live stock states and buy their
hogs In Ne'braskit. The Texas men
were extremely well pleased with tho
service rendered and the breeders
were plensed to get the opportunity to
make such sales. As the plan becomes
well established, -so that the county
agents know where the vnrlous herds
are located and tbo kind that are for
sale, the foreign buyers will find tho
services of these county agents , of
great value In locating tho kind of ani
mals they want.
Data for United States Collected.
The state field agents In. marketing,
of whom there are 28, transmit u con
densed report to tho Washington office
of tho bureau of markets, where It Is
kept on file for use In directing foreign
buyers nnd buyers In vnrlous sections
of the United States to districts uiost
accessible to them.
