Roports to tho effect thnt 'oxcesBlvu
shrinkage on Ilvo stock nt central
markets Is frequently experienced are
sometimes received from members
and managers ot co-operatlvo live
stock associations by tho United
States department of agriculture. In
somo cases theso reports tako tha
form of complaints, and at times the
shrinkage feature la pointed to as a,
weakness in tho whole system of co
operative shipping.
While many things can, and fre
quently do, result .in- oxcesslvo
Bhrinkago in live stock, investiga
tions have shown that at times It in
at least partly" duo to a disposition on
tho part of somo shippers to over
fill their stock before loading This
custom seems to bo relic from the
days before co-operativo shipping
camo Into voguo and vfhon, most
small producors sold their stock to
country buyers. Under tho system , of
marketing whero in Hvo stock was
usually sold on tho basis of home
weights, or at most, shipping point
weight, it was usually to tho pro
ducer's advantago to obtain a gen
erous "fill" on his stock boforo turn
ing It over to tho country drover.
Tho co-operativo system of shipp
ing llvo stock, howovor, practically
oHmlnatos tho lnccntlvo to excosslvo
homo or shipping point fills. Stock
that Is fed heavily Just before loadinp
is not only quito llkoly to sicken and
sometimes dlo while In transit, but
seldom takes a good fill when It ar
rives at market. Furthermore, whoro
rn-onnrntlvn nhlnmonts aro trraded at
tho shipping point tho man whoso
stock has boon given a heary fill
receives more than his Just proportion
of tho not returns. Homo grading of
co-oporatlvo shipments is, in moBt In
stances, highly desirable, but It can
bo successful only whoro tho Individ
ual members "play fair" with each
Lother or, in other words, whoro they
really co-oporato.

At tho Hotel
Chests mado of red codai heart
wqod are effective, If In good condi
tion and thoroughly tight, In protect
ing clothing from clothes moths, it
has boon found by the United States
dopartment ot agriculture. That is,
provided proper precautions aro taken
first to bent, brush, and, if posBlblo,
sun all articles before they are
placed in chests.
SInco it is tho odor of red cedar
that kills young moth wormB, special
care should bo taken to prevent un
due escape of the aroma from the
chests. Chests nt all times should re
main tightly closed oxcept whon
clothing Is boing removed or placed
in them, and this proccduro should bo
accomplished quickly.
Clothes moths during their growth
pass through different stnges known
as tho adult or moth miller, tho worm
or larva, and tho pupa stages. It h
only tho larva or worm that dam
ages fabrics. Tho moth miller more-
ly lays tho eggs from which the
worms hatch. Cedar chests do not
kill tho moth miller, Its eggs, or
pupae. Nolthor do thoy kill tho lar-
vao or worms aftor they havo become
ono-half to full grown.
Cedar chests, It has been found, di
kill ' young worms. Practically all
moth worms hatching within tho
chests dlo within ono or two weeks
after hatching, and a surprisingly
largo number dlo within two to three
days. Of tho worms hatching within
codar chests, from tho 2,074 eggs re
corded in experimental work, none
woro found nlivo ono month from tho
dato tho eggs woro placed in tho
chests.
SInco codar chests kill only tho
vory young worms, It Is of great Im
portance that clothing bo brushed
and beaten beforo it is placed in them
If this is thoroughly done tho older
resistant worms aro removed and
many of tho eggs and young worms
aro killed .
