'At a eoaventlon of potato growers
held in Grand Rapids, Wis., A. C
Bennett read a paper ia which, amoag
other things, he said:
An associattoB was formed ia New
Jersey to sell their owa cranberries,
consisting of seventeen firms in New
Jersey and one frost Cape Cod. They
employed a salesman at a salary of
ve thousand dollars for the season
of sheet six months. He both sold
and ttrtlected and was to keep back
Ave per cent, out of which to take his
pay. At the end of the season he
turned back to the association three
and one-half per cent, leaving for cost
of selling one and one-halt per cent
while the ordinary commission man
charges ten per cent, thus saving to
the Association over thirty-three thou
sand dollars In one season. Tho price
of the berries was fixed every two
weeks by a board of directors. Each
grower received the price his berries
brought, less the one and one-half per
cent expense of celling. Each member
could sell his own berries if he
wished, but must turn into the asso
ciation five per cent of such sales. In
case the association could not furnish
berries fast enough to supply the de
mand the agent could sell for outside
parties, but on such sales should turn
into the association seven per cent
The next year the association volun
tarily raised his salary to seven thou
sand dollars a year and expenses and
clerk hire. Then he turned back two
and one-half per cent out of the five
per cent making cost of selling two
and one-half per cent and yet leaving
!'
A
the agent seven thousand dollars net
cash for six months' service. Two
more years have been added to the
experience of this association and they
are now handling over one hundred
thousand bushels of cranberries a
year and refuse to admit any more
members.
About two years later an associa
tion was formed on Cape Cod on a
similar plan. They employed a Chi
cago man as salesman, and they ship
ped him car load after car load on
which they set so high a price he
could not sell them and later in the
season when the price had declined
and many of the berries became soft
they were obliged to take them back
and sell them as best they could. The
result was a big loss, and I have never
heard from the association since.
These illustrations show clearly that
success depends on the men who run
the machine. In the case of the New
Jersey association the selling agent
had the confidence of the association,
be being an eastern man and a promi
nent cranberry grower, and the board
of directors took his advice in fixing
prices, which enabled him to meet
competition, while the Cape Cod grow
ers thought they could set their own
price and the people would have to
pay it They would not trust any Chi
cago man, not even one of their own
selecting. In the case of the Grape
Growers' Association of Brockton, New
York, a very successful institution, the
grapes are all inspected by an officer
of the association before being ship
ped and the superior quality and re
liability of their grapes make it easy
to secure an extra price for them,
much more than enough to pay all the
expenses of the association. The price
is made uniform and is telegraphed
daily to every producing station.
There is a great and useless loss to
producers in shipping produce to Chi
cago, Milwaukee. St Paul and Minne
apolis greatly in excess of their im
mediate demands and paying freight
there, and then paying these cities a
big'commission to distribute this prod
uce to other cities at our expense.
From this city of Grand Rapids, to the
entire northwest and at least so far
south as Kansas City, we have the
Fame freight rates as Chicago. Under
the interstate commerce law we can
become a distributing point Just as
well as Chicago, and save all that ex
tra freight and their commission. It
used to be different, we were once
compelled to use these cities for dis
tributing points, and it seems that the
force of habit or lack of knowledge of
these facts is costing us many thou
sand dollars every year.
Maeav frotu Milk.
A press report from Belvidere. 111.,
says: Considerable interest is mani
fested in this county in the attempt
of F. W. Patrick to manufacture sagar
from milk. The Fox and Rock river
valleys already .have a number of suc
cessful Industries in which the milk
product of the farmers' dairy district
la prepared for a wider field. The con
densing plants at Carpentersville, the
Anglo-Swiss company at Dixon, and
the DeKalb farm on which milk is es
pecially prepared for the use of babies
and invalids, are all doing a big busi
ness, and it is thought that the new
venture at Marengo may meet similar
success in creating a demand for its
product. So far little is known as to
what this demand will be. the sugar
being subject to use for medicinal pur
poses only. The working product is
collected from fifteen counties in the
neighborhood of Marengo. The' milk
is separated from the Traam. which s
utilized in making butter. On the
skimmed milk curd is allowed to form
until it is hard enough to handle. Then
it is put threagh drying process and

The sugar product comes from the

ing continues until a thick syrup Is

of time it is again boiled, wh'eu the
sugar forms. The sugar ia worked
over until thoroughly drained, after
which it Is packed In barrels for the
refinery. It now resembles the erdl
nary. coarse brown sugar of commerce.
The process of refining is a well-guarded
secret known to Mr. Patrick and
one other man. - When' the product
emerges from the refinery it Is snowy
white. It is said that there are fewer
than a dozen men. in the United States
who are in the secret of refitting milk
sugar. The new factory has Just been
completed. It requires 6.009 pounds of
milk to produce one barrel of sugar.
This sugar sells for 40 cents a pound.

If. W. Collingwobd says: Another
curious .thing that we find about the
fiock is the fact that there are heredi
tary tendencies for certain foods.
Many of these hens have evidently
been fed entirely upon corn. They
eat meat and other grains largely 'un
der protest. Hens arc much like men
in this respect An ex-mayor of New
York told me not long since that he
cannot get through the week without
at least one square meal of corded
beef and cabbage. Possibly there are
persons who can tell in what country
that tendency was formed. A genuine
Yankee cannot forget the baked beans
and fish balls of his early life. Let
me feed a hen for the first three
months of her life, and I will largely
fix her feeding habits and also have
something to do with the food her
children crave. I think most poultry
men have changed their methods of

feeding since the truth became gener
ally known that meat in some form
gives by far the best material for a
ben's muscle makers. Some of us who"
are millionaires in theory have been
taught sever lessons in economy dur
ing the past few years. I know a
man who. in 1S90, did not think it
possible for his family to live on any
thing cheaper than porterhouse roast
beef. Economy has forced him to real
ize the value in a pot roast or even a
shin bone. It has been a profitable
surprise to such men to realize that
the nerve and force in a pot roast
will enable them to retain their stand
ing in church and state. In like man
ner we havebeen forced to hunt cheap
er rations for our hens, and we have
found them in various, forms of meat
The introduction of the green-bone
cutter has really started a new in
dustry and has doubled the cost of
bones in many local markets. There
was a time when the faithful old horse,
at death, was hauled off to the swamp!
Now his meat may be cut and ground
and dried into an excellent food for
the hens.
Proper Feedlac
An Eastern poultry raiser says:
Leghorns will by nature take a great
deal of exercise, if not confined in too
close quarters. They should have
something always in the coops to
pick at or scratch for. Brahmas and
Plymouth Rocks, on the other hand,
if given a full meal say in the morn
ing, will sit around and mope in the
sun with no intention of laying an
egg. It is best to give them Just suf
ficient to arrest the cravings of hun
ger and make them scratch and ex
ercise for the rest of their breakfast
Exercise means eggs; therefore, any
thing which will serve to keep your
hens moving during confinement will
promote laying. It is a ben's nature
to be busy from early morning until
sundown. She hunts the fields dili
gently all day, gradually filling her
crop until at roosting time her crop
is full and she passes a comfortable
night If you go contrary to nature
and fill a ben's crop before ten o'clock
in the morning, you simply induce a
fit of Indigestion, to which all yarded
and cooped fowls are more or less sub
ject, and this is the forerunner of al
most all the diseases to which fowls
are heir.
The Russian Thistle.
We quote from the Nebraska Far
mer: The state of Nebraska, through its
legislature of 1895. enacted a law re
quiring that the citizens of the coun
ties, wherein this supposed obnoxious
weed existed, should immediately take
steps to eradicate the pest from within
its borders. This was found impos
sible, and a later legislature repealed
the enactments relating to the weed
and its destruction. But now appear
several reputable citizens of this coun
ty, whose vocation is farming and
whose homes lie south of Sutherland
and Hershey, who state that the value
of the Russian thistle as a hog feed,
when in its green state, is superior to
alfalfa. One of these parties claims
that hogs will leave the alfalfa and
go and remain upon the Russian
thistle patch by preference, and that
it is a rapid flesh producing weed.
Others, in the same vicinity, claim
that when cut green and cured, Rus
sian thistles make a fine quality of
hay which cattle readily seek for and
devour. All of the men. however, as
sert that the plant if allowed to grow
up and blow about the fields, is a
nuisance an an injury, but if con
fined and properly attended to. ft is
a benefit ratSr than an Injury. When
allowed to start with the wheat early
In the sprier, the Russian thistle is
pretty sure te sjst ahead ef this
but rye is too early and vigorous a
rower tad tets started before the
thistle, ta cert, the thistle does but
little harm. This supposed pest migat
heei some benefit in the semi-arid
portion of this state, if properly
handled. Again, it has value for fuel.
If It could be baled and used for this
purpose. There is no plant growing,
which, when dried, that, weight for
weight, gives forth a greater degree
of heat Like the sweet clover, the
thistle appears to run its course and
die Out in time. Both these plant are
strong, vigorous growers. They en
dure drouth with great success. Both
have valuable properties when young
and tender. The sweet clover as a
honey producer cannot be excelled.
While not advocating the culture of
either, may they not, when Judiciously
handled, become useful plants which
will assist in solving the fodder ques
tion in our state? These statements,
if any virtue Is proven for supposed
objectionable plants, Is hardly appli
cable to eastern Nebraska with its suf
ficiency of rainfall, which is not pro
ductive of the proper development of
this Muscovite transplantation.
The Potato Field
During the grain harvest the potato
field Is apt to be neglected, says Amer
ican Cultivator. This was bad enough
in the days when weeds were the only
enemies to be feared. Since the po
tato beetle has become common there
should never a day pass when some
one does not go through the field and
destroy all the larvae In sight It is
easy to see by examining the leaves
whether eggs are numerous. If they
are not hand picking of beetlea will
suffice. A dose of poison applied, di
luted With water at the rate of a tea
spoonful Of the poison to a pail of Wa
ter will kill the larvae so soon as they
get to work and prevent most of the
damage. It is very difficult to have
this done so promptly that part at
least of the hills will not be stripped
before the poison is applied. But in
harvest time there are several hours
of daylight early in the morning when
dew will prevent doing much in the
harvest field. If this makes too many
hours' work per day. take a longer
nooning. If the grain harvest and the
care of potatoes conflict, most farmers
will be wise in giving the preference
In caro to the crop that is most profit,
able, and it takes several acres of grain
to equal in value a large potato cror
on one acre.
The Radish Season.
With most-farmers the radish season
is much shorter than it used to be It
Is a root that needs to be grown quick
ly, else it will be hard and tough and
the weather must not be too warm' else
the radishes will either grow pithy or
be filled with worms. These last breed
fast in soil made rich by fermented
stable manure. Yet. as The American
Cultivator tells, the market gardeners
uve ramsnes an tnrough the year
and have little trouble in keeping them
from being pithy or wormy. They
spray the leaves freely, and thus check
the evaporation which makes the root
pithy. To make the radish grow fast
and free from worms they manure
with nitrate of soda and plant in rath
er sandy soil. On such land the rad
ish is clear and crisp and will be gen
erally free from worms. Some of the
Chinese varieties of radish are partic
ularly adapted to growing in late sum
mer, while there are others that can
be kept in good condition until winter
by cutting off all the top and keeping
them in a cold place covered with
enough sand to exclude the air.
Movable Fixtures.
We cannot but believe that much
every way would be gained if in all
of our poultry bouses the "fixings"
were movable. The roosts especially
should be so constructed that they
may be easily taken down and cleaned
This will also make it easy to clean
out tho henhouse. It takes but a few
minutes to do the work when the
roosts and other obstacles have been
taken out of doors. We have movable
roosts constructed in the following
manner: Two long, low "horses" are
fixed with slits in the top of the cross
pieces, into which the roosts can be
dropped. Each horse is ten feet long.
If we want the rocsts two feet apart
this will give us five roosts. The
roosts are square at the ends, so as to
fall easily into the square grooves.
Each roost is twelve feet long. This
makes sitting room for a large flock
of fowls.
Batter Called Danish.
Referring to the large Increase In
the total exports of butter from Den
mark in 1897, which were no less than
11,000,000 lb. in excess of the previous
year, the Smor-Tidende says: About
4,000,000 lb. of the exported butter was
packed in tins; the remainder, 128,000,
000 lb., in casks of the usual type. Of
this quantity more than 102.000,000 lb.
were produced In Denmark, 5,000,000
lb. were transshipped in Danish ports
without being landed here, and 21,000,
000 lb. were landed here and reshipped
to foreign countries by Danish ex
porters. About 18,000.000 lb. of these
foreign butters were of Swedish origin
and 3.000.000 lb. of Finnish. The In
crease in the exports of actual Danish
butter was thus 4,666.000 lb. as com
pared with the preceding year.
Sprouting Potatoes. While the
sprouting of potatoes under ordinary
conditions is very objectionable, they
may be so sprouted as to materially
advance their earliness. This Is done
by placing them, stem end down. in
single layers in shallow trays on the
floor. In a light and moderately warm
room. Thus placed they will send out
short, stubby, green sprouts which will
remain in that condition for weeks.
Such potatoes, planted without break
ing the apreuts. will grow Immediately

servation, of the many errors of our
management ia Alaska, by which the
vast resources of that wonderful coun

squandered, aad wealth and property
needlessly thrown away by the na

REGAINED HEALTH.

I Owo Ye My US."
Mrs. E. WooLHisr.R,
Mills, Neb., writes:
"Deab Mrs. Pixkham: I owe my
life to your Vegetable Compound. Tho
doctors said I had consumption and
nothing; could be done for mo. My
menstruation had stopped and they
said my blood was turning to water. I
had several doctors. They all said I
could not live. I began the use of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegettble Compound,
and it helped me right away; menses
returned and I have gained in weight.
I hare better health than I have had for
years. It is wonderful what your Com
pound has done for me."

Mrs. Geo. Leach,
1609 Belle St., Alton, 111., writes:
" Before I began to take your Vege
table Compound I was a great sufferer
from womb trouble. Menses would ap
pear two and three times in a month,
causing1 me to be so weak I could not
stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and
looked. 60 badly my friends hardly
knew me.
"I took doctor's medicine but did not
derive much benefit from it. . My drug
gist gave me one of your little books,
and after reading1 it I decided to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. I feel like a new person. I
would not give your Compound for- all
the doctors medicine in the world. 1
can not praise it enough.'
