WIDE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE Despite Commercial Shortage and High Market Prices Producers Do Not Sell More Specialists Give Timely Advice. Until the. growers sea fit ,to place their cowpeas on the market In a clean and attractive condition they may expect the wide difference be tween the price they receive mid the wholsalo price charged by the dealer to continue, say marketing specialists of the bureau o markets, United States Department of Agriculture. When the dealer Is compelled to do work that the grower falls to perform, it is the dealer who enjoys the profits. Marketing Factors. According to estimates prepared by the bureau of markets some 100,000.000 pounds of cowpeas enter commercial channels every year. Of tills quantity 25 per ceiyt is of mixed varieties and sold at a discount .of from 50 cents to $1 per 100 pounds. A large percentage of It also Is made up of poorly tljrashed, unclean' slock containing nluch foreign matter and packed In second-hand bags, improperly sewed. As a result of the use of these Ineffi cient marketing 'methods the average wholesale selling price for recieaned stock during the spring of 100 was 00 "V. Cleaning Cowpeas Pays Well.. per cent higher than the average price paid ,the growers for the 1010 crop of cowpeas. Similar conditions prevailed with regard to the 1017 and 1010 crops. To secure higher prices for cowpeas, specialists of the bureau of markets who have made a careful investigation of the matter recommend the following practices : 1. Clean cowpeas thoroughly before marketing. All hulls and other foreign matter, as well as light and immature seed, if any, should be fanned out. 2. Keep the varieties pure. Only straight varieties should be planted for grain or seed production, and precau tions taken to prevent mixing at liar vest time. 3. Sack in new even-Weight bags, well sewed. Tills prevents waste in handling and ihe package will bo more attractive to the buyer. 4. Market in as largo lots as possi ble. It costs the shipper or local deal er practically as much money, to re ceive, weigh, record nnd pay for one bag of cowpeas as It does a ten-bag lot. If cur lots nre nvallable the cost of handling per unit is still smaller. All efforts made by farmers or grow ers to. Improve the quality anil mar ketability of cowpeas add to the Ini dal selling price. Cause of Shortage. Cowpeas are usually grown as a catch crop, and on .most farms regard ed of secondary 'commercial Impor tance. Yet the farm value of cowpeas produced In the United States Is some thing like $30,000,000 a year.' Approx imately 750,000,000 pounds of cowpeas are produced annually, about 45 per cent or 3-10,000,000 pounds of which is required for planting. Of this latter quantity 15 per cent Is sold by growers direct to farmers and 30 per cent nor mally enters commercial channels to be distributed by various dealers. In 1010, and again in 1020, the demand for cowpeas for planting purposes ex ceeded the commercial new crop sup ply, and abnormally high prices pre vailed. Despite tills shortage and the high prices, practically no effort was made to Increase the commercial sup ply. In the opinion of the bureau of mar kets tlie commercial shortage vas not due to decreased production, but to failure on the part of the growers to prepare more of their cowpeas for commercial distribution. To increase the commercial supply It Is seemingly necessary, for growers simply to con serve the supply produced, and to pre pare and market more of It for plant ing purposes. Such action would di rectly result In a larger profit to pro ducers of cowpeas, and Indirectly bene fit farmer consumers who desire to grow the crop for purposes other than grain production. To feed cowpeas suitable for planting purposes to live stock Is a (practice that growers should readily perceive unprofitable In view of the price that cowpeas now command. . &JKway r i i Th.ii' . -.'.vfc. vatk.'SR93 VELVET BEANS MAKE GOOD GRAZING CROP Excellent for Cattle and Hogs in Fall and Winter. Usual Period for Pasturing Is About Three Months but This May Be Lengthened or Shortened as Deemed Advisable. Velvet brans are an important grac ing crop for cattle and hogs In the South in autumn nnd winter, accord ing to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. They are not primal well by horses or mules, or by any live stock until after they are well matured or frosted. As the leaves, vines and pods decay but slow ly when subjected to weather condi tions, velvet beans -will furnish feed until early spring. It Is usually bet ter to let tho crop stand until It Is well matured, or until It Is killed by frost, as the leaves will be off the plants nt that time and the corn which has been planted at the same time may be gathered with less difficulty. The amount of grazing which will be afforded will, of course, vary With thn growth of the crop and the quan tity of corn not gathered, but It Is the custom with many cattlemen to allow olie-thlrd to one-half acre a month for each sieer or cow. The usual period for pasturing velvet beans Is about three months, but .this may be short ened or lengthened us deemed advis able. When the period Is longer be cause of1 large acreage In proportion to .the number of cattle there Is nec essarily some loss of feed through de cay. Hogs, should be permitted to' follow the cattle, as they will consume prac tically all the bans which the cattle fail to get. A common practice is to allow one or two hogs In addition to 'thp cattle for each acre of beans. A good stnnd of velvet beans should produce ubout lf0 pounds of beef and 100 pounds of pork nn acre. QUALITY IS URGENT FACTOR Striking Example Furnished by Ken tucklan, Who Markets Eggs, Poultry and Fruit. An example of the part thnt quality plays In a business of direct marketing of farm produce Is furnished by the ex perience of a man In Kentucky who markets eggs, dressed poultry, meats and fruits to consuniers fn Nashville, Term. The business was established over two years ago by obtaining a friend as the llrst customer. From this mod est beginning the producer has ob tained sufficient customers to buy all of the high-grade produce he can sup ply. Most of the shipments are made by parcel post. ' This business Is conducted ' on the basis of high quality with adequate re turns, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Customers are selected with as much care, as most consumers show In selecting a pro ducer from whom to buy farm produce. Customers nre retained by never breaking the rule to supply only tho best produce raised on his ownfarm. If, when nn order Is obtained, this farmer does not have produce of the highest quality, he Informs the custom-, er and states that unless otherwise In structed the produce will bo shipped at the earliest possible date USEFUL FOR CUTTING BANDS, Device Illustrated Is Handy for Man.

How many dairymen would keep n hired hand on tholr place who got up when ho felt like It, worked when lie felt like It, and did just as lie pleased? Such a hired man would be u losing proposition and the man who would keep him would soon become bank rupt. On the other hand, how many dairy men ard keeping boarder dairy cows that produce Just ns llttlo lhllk as they feel lllto ,produclug, with llttlo or no profit to the owner? A dairyman cannot afford to keep a man that does not do more work' than he Is paid for doing. Neither can he afford to keep n cow that does not return more money to him than he puts into her in feed and labor. How many cowa In your herd nre returning a fair profit for the feed basy Matter to Perm.lt. Cows to De crease In Milk Flow' but Hard to Bring Them Back. consumed and how many aro return ing little or nothing or even costing money to keep? Thb profit made from n cow depends upon the amount of buttcrfat produced and the cost of producing same. Monthly records and the Babcoclc test will delect tho boarder cows. Why waste time nnd money on cows that do not pay for their keep? V. 12. Spungler, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. SALT ESSENTIAL IN RATION Material May Be Supplied by Mjxlng With Feed, or It May Be Left In Convenient Box. Practical observations and scientific Investigations have shown that salt Is essential in tho ration of n dairy cow. From one to three ounces per day Is needed, depending upon the amount of milk produced. Accord ing to Balicock's Investigations at the Wisconsin experiment station, a cow needs one ounce per day per 1,000 pounds live weight with nn additional 0-10 of an ounce for each 20 pounds of milk produced. Salt may be sup plied by mixing tho proper amount with the feed, or it may be placed In pome convenient place where the cow can get at It dallj and take such amounts as her appetite demands. Many dairymen prefer to plnce a lump of rock salt where the cow can lick It nt will. This is really cheaper and there is less work. Rut, however you feed It, don't forget tbnt the cows must have It not once every week or two, but at least each second day nnd each day Is better. FEEDING COWS SAWDUST The facetious statement, re peated in a Joking way, "Put green goggles on the cows nnd fool them by feeding sawdust and shavings," Is apparently not gofng to be necessary In future to feed them that product. It has been found by experiment that sawdust from non-resinous soft woods can be used, but It first must undergo a process of treatment with certain acids, which change a part of the dry matter Into carbohydrates. How ever, the low. protein content of sawdust as a feed would not augur well for Its future use. GOOD DAIRY HEIFER RATION Missouri Station Recommends Alfalfa and Corn With All the Silage She Vill Eat. One of the clieopesttiand best winter rations for the dairy heifer, according to the Missouri station, Is an average dally of about six pounds of alfalfa hay, two pounds of com, and slluge at free will (this means on the average about twenty pounds dully). This kind of ration lias kept the heifers growing nt Just about tho right rate to make the best kind of mature cows, nnl yet tho expense bos not been un duly great.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often , , Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who ore constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. Tlie mild nnd healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on tho subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason war to many applicants for insurance arc re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to tho American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease, It is on sale at all drug storea in bottles of two sizes, medium nnd large. , Ilowever, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer &, Co., Uinnhamton, N.
