SELLING EARLY POTATOES.
Marketing Through Shipping Acsceia
tions Explained by Government.
The perishable nature of the Imma
ture potato renders It nocossiuy to
place It upon the market In such quan
tises only us will uduilt of Immediate
c;iRUinptIon. Producers In regions
where the growing of curly potatoes
bus been extensively developed appre
ciate this and have provided for this
condition by organizing shippers' asso
clutlous through which the crop is
graded, often trademurkod, and distrib
uted chiefly in carload lots. The offi
cers of the association, being In eon
stunt telegraphic eoinmuuiculioii with
the various markets, ure thus Informed
regarding the most satisfactory des
tlnatlon for every consignment which
may bo necessary. It Is the purpose
of these associations, however, to con
duet their business In such a way that
the product can be sold f. o. b. ship
ping point Instead of by consignment,
and the best organized associations are
usually nble to do this.
The great advautage of such n sys
tern of selling Is that It enables the
brokers In a small city or town to buy
direct from the producer Instead of
through another city broker. It en

products, as they are shipped direct
from the point of production to the
place of consumption. The plan car
ries other benellts which arc of great
moment to the producer. lie is enabled
to sell In carload lots ut shipping point,
thus saving to himself the cost of trans
V portation, which ranges from 7 to 15
per cent of the gross selling price. The
exchange secures a much wider dis
tribution of the crop, with the result
that overstocked markets are much
less likely than under the consignment
system. Transportation companies pro
vide better service, and claims are
more promptly settled through the ex
change than In the case of Individual.
This plan enables the producer to be
his own salesman. It trat sfers the
distributing point from tho city to the
field, where It should be. It brings
the market to the field Instead of the
product to the market. Tho exchange
becomes the farmer's commission house,
and' It Is much easier to keep informed
regarding the transactions of n home
association than of a foreign concern.

A Toothsome Recipe for Baked Beans
Hudson Maxim is not only famous in
the chemistry of high explosives, but
he is an expert, although less widely
known, in the chemistry of the kitch
en. That the inventor knows beans
as well as gunpowder may be judged
by any housewife who will follow his
directions for preparing Boston's cele
brated Saturday night dish.
" Beans, " lie eayB, in an article on
"Science in the Eitnheu," in The
Youth's Companion, "are more nu
tritions than almost any other vege
table food, and when properly cooked
they are among the most delicious of
all articles of diet. I have experi
mented a great deal iu the prepara
tion of baked beans, and have ob
tained the best results by proceeding
in the following manner:
"Take two quartB of plump, dry
beans, preferably those . known as
marrowfat. Do not use any beans
that have withered from being picked
before they were r'.pe. Cover the
beans with oold water and let them
soak for twelve hours overnight. The
next morning between six aud seven
o'clock, parboil them until the skins
orack when blown aoross strongly
with the breath. Drain the water otl
and cover the bottom of a farina
boiler, or other water jacketed kettle,
about three inches deep with the
beans. Now put in half a dozen
small onions, or one large Bermuda
O'ion, pared and used whole, one
ponnd of 6olidfat salt pork from the
back of the 'animal, one pound of
fresh pork loin and one ponnd of beef
shank. Then add the remainder of
the beans, two taulespoonfnls of ma
ple syrup, a little salt, and fill up
with tomato juice obtained by rub
bing or sifting canned tomatoes or
other oooked tomatoes through a
sieve, to free them from seeds and
skins. Keep the water in the outer
jacket gently boiling uutu supper
time, when the beans will be ready
to serve. While they are cooking they
will require no other attention than
the addition of a little hot water to
replaoe that lost by evaporation. "

National Grange Organ. So much
dissatisfaction with tho management
of this paper has been current, partic
ularly since thnt unfortunate proposal
for a contract was Issued last May,
that the national grange decided to
discontinue the publication of it wltb
the Inst December (1910) number, when
the contract with the Rumford Print
ing company of Concord, N. H., ex
pires, and to re-establish the National
Grange Bulletin, to be owned, control
led and published by the national
grange, under direction of a board of
management consisting of the national
grange lecturer, overseer and chair
man of the executive committee. This
National Grange Bulletin is to be is
sued monthly, and the annual expense
shall not exceed $3,000.
Nominating Speeches. A resolution
from Pennsylvania state grange pre
sented by State Master Creasy asked
that In stute granges having more than
500 delegates nominating discussions
of the qualifications of candidates for
state grange offices be permitted. A
ruling was made by the national
grunge a few years ago prohibiting
anything except presentation of the
candidates' names. The Creasy reso
lution was disapproved by the bylaws
committee nnd defeated.
Proportional Representation. Two
resolutions. asking for change in the
basis of representation of the national
grange came respectively from Penn
sylvania aud Washington. Oue ad
vocated n delegate for every 10,000
members In n state; the other asked
for increased voting power for the
delegates as now constituted (state
master and wife) to provide one extra
vote for each 1,000 members. These
were both defeated.
Next Meeting Place. Washington,
Ohio and South Dakota invited the
national grauge for next yeur. The
vote went: Ohio, 30; Washington, IS;
South Dakota, 3. The meeting will
be held at Columbus.
State Master F. N. Godfrey of New
York was re-elected to the executive
committee.
NATIONAL GRANGE POLICY.
In Respect to Two Important Publio
Questions, the Tariff and the Rail
roads. The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the national grange as indicat
ing its policy on the subjects allud
ed to:
Whereas, The national grange at Its
forty-third annual session condemned tha
tariff law of 1909 as unjust to the farmers
of the country and In no sense In accord
with the promises of tariff revision by
tho party responsible for Its enactment;
therefore,
Resolved, That the national grange
urires that In any future revision of our
tariff laws the duties upon any article
should novor exceed the difference be
tween the labor cost of producing such
article In this country and In foreign
countries: and,
Resolved, That we favor the Immediate
amendment of the present tariff act so as
to reduce the excessive protection now
given to many staple manufactured artl-

des the production of which Is controlled
by trusts and monopoly combinations;
and,
Resolved, That we urge a material re
duction of the duties on all articles which
are sold by our manufacturers In foreign
morkets at lower prlceyhan those charged
to the people of the country; and,
Resolved, That we favor the negotiation
of commercial treaties that will open up
new markets for American products anil
do away with tariff wars which now shut
our form products out of many foreign
countries.
Whereas, The farmers are the largest
shippers of freight over our railways and
any Increase In freight rates is, in the
lost analysis, chiefly paid by them; and,
Whereas, The railroads are now demand
ing the right to charge higher freight and
passenger rates, for which we believe
there Is no Justification; therefore,
Resolved, That the national grange fa
vors the strict regulation by the federal
government of all railroads engaged In
Interstate commerce and urges that the In
terstate commerce commission forbid any
Increase la freight or passenger rates un
less It can be Bhown that such Increase
Is necessary In order to pay fair dividends
on the capital actually invested In the
road.
Resolved, That we favor the enactment
of legislation to provide for ascertaining
the true value of the railroads of the
country so that It can be readily seen
whether the proposed Increase In charges
Is Justifiable.
A NEW MOVEMENT.
A Central Bureau of Information and
Research Suggested.
Upon the adjournment of the na
tional grange the representation there
in from the various state granges that
believe in a forward and progressive
policy met and after discussion unani
mously agreed to form a permanent
organization. The meeting adopted
the following:
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this
body that a permanent organization of
progressive state granges is desirable
to deliberate upon and consider state
affairs as recommended by State Mas
ter Kegley in his annual address to
the Washington state grange June
7-10, 1910, as follows:
The establishment of the home gover
nors and the organization of various soci
eties to bring about uniformity of state
laws which common sense shows should
be uniform Indicate a policy of co-operation
which It would be well for the state
granges to adopt. I believe that a con
ference of state granges to consider pure
ly Btate matters would be of inestimable
value. And as the state masters come
together once a year to consider national
affairs It would cost very little to stay
together a day or two longer and organ
ize a session to consider state affairs.
Each state grange could well afford this
slight extra expense, and I believe that
It would be to our credit If we take the
Initiative to bring about such a confer
ence. The one great need, as I have come to
ee It, both In our national and state
work, Is a central bureau of Information
and research. Every organization other
than our farm organizations that I know
of maintains Just such a bureau in charge
of trained experts, with an ample staff of
assistants to maintain the bureau In a
high state of effectiveness. Any member
of the National Manufacturers' associa
tion, for example, if the need arises, can
wire headquarters and receive by return
wire or mall the Information required.
There Is not a business association of any
Importance that I know of that is not
organized In the same way.
We need such a bureau and must have
It If we are to be as effective an organ
ization as we ought to be. No man can
do research work and Btay on the firing
line attending to executive work and at
the same time keep his health If he Is
honest In his efforts to do both. The
Washington grange of course could not
maintain a bureau of this kind, but I be
lieve we could co-operate with other state
granges to maintain one that would be
as efficient as and the equal of any bureau
maintained by other organizations. These
are things I would like you to consider,
and I would be glad to take these matters
up with other state masters with a view
to securing united action If Instructed by
you to do bo officially by the Washington
state grange.
Resolved, That a committee com
posed of one member from each state
grauge represented in this conference
or from such state granges as shall
formally request to be admitted to
membership in such permanent organ
ization shall draft a plan of permanent
organization and submit same to the
respective stnto granges for their con
sideration or approval, each state
executive committee to appoint its own
member of said committee, which shall
be designated as "committee on per
manent organization." Said committee
on permanent organization shall act
as the executive committee of the con
ference. American Agriculturist.

unmistakable terms.
State Master Godfrey of New York
was re-elected to the executive com
mittee for three years.
The question of changing the basis
of representation in the national
grange goes over to next year.
A resolution asking that open nomi
nations of candidates for office In the

FEEDING VALUE OF OATS.
Analyses of 8traw and Grain Made by
Federal Agricultural Department
The analyses of oat straw show that
this roughage well deserves its reputa
tion as the best of its class for feed-
lng. In protein and fat it is higher in
feeding value than wheat, barley or
rye straw, while in carbohydrates
there is little difference. Pound for
pound in its natural condition it is also
materially better than corn stover on
account of the greater moisture con
tent of the latter, but the dry matter
In corn stover is rather richer in food
constituents than that In oat straw.
Oat hay is shown to be slightly infe
rior to barley hay in feeding value, but
it ranks higher than timothy hay in
protein and fat and In consequence Is
a slightly better feed. Hay made
from the bearded varieties of barley is
sometimes not readily eaten by stock
on account of the beards. The waste
thus occasioned makes oat hay fully
as valuable ton for ton as hay made
rrom bearded barley.
Oats cut green for feeding contain
less water than either corn or rye. The
superiority of oats over rye for soiling
Is particularly noticeable, as the oats
are much higher in total food value.
Green oats compare quite favorably
pound for pound with green clover.
The feeding value of any article de
pends not only on its chemical compo
sition, but on the digestibility of the
matter It contains. It may contain a
very high proportion of valuable food
material, but part of this material may
be in such form that animals are not
able to digest it. While the hull of
oats contains little that is digestible, it
serves to lighten the grain ration and
to give bulk and in that way aids the
complete digestion of the grain. Oats
contain more digestible protein than
barley or corn and nearly as much as
wheat. This grain is also much higher
in fat than barley or wheat and practi
cally as high as corn. In carbohy
drates, the cheapest portion of the
food, oats are considerably lower than
any of the other grains. Oat straw
ranks much higher in digestible pro
tein and fat than the straw from any
of the other grains and nearly as high
In carbohydrates. It contains less pro
tein than corn stover, but more of the
other food constituents. Oat hay is
higher than timothy hay in all the di
gestible nutrients.
The best farmer is the man who
bestows the most thought and care
on his soil, keeping it up to the
highest state of fertility. Also, if he
is an animal farmer, he must do the
same by his animals.
To Keep Hogs Where They Belong.
This will illustrate a contrivance
which I am using, says a correspond
ent of the National Stockman and
Farmer. It becomes necessary some
times to pasture adjoining fields with
cattle and horses, leaving the hogs in
either field. My plan is this: Nail
boards from the ground up, say about
sixteen Inches, at or upon the main
BABKIBB FOB BOOS.
From the National Stockman and Farm
er. gate posts. Then plant two stub posts,
say about fourteen Inches from gate
posts, nailing boards to them also,
same height The principal is this:
The cattle and horses can step over or
between these obstructions, while the
hogs cannot Jump them. They can go
through or between, but in order to
Jump our hogshlp must; "square" him
self, as this last arrangement prevents
him from taking this square position.
Shutting Off Drafts.
Every crack, crevice or hole in or
about the windows In which plants are
kept during winter should be closed by
pasting paper over the smaller ones,
stuffing with soft paper or rags the
larger and wherever It can be em
ployed filling with well beaten putty.
Poultry Pointers.
Most farmers keep too many roosters
In proportion to t!ie hens. This is a
prime cause of Infertility in eggs. An
overfertilized egg is often yolkless
aad Is always Infertile. Oue cock to
ten to Hi'teen hens Is sufllcleut.
The main factor lu securing success
with poultry lu wnlter lies in the hen
house being perfectly dry and warm
with sufficient light and ventilation.
Beware of providing too much ventl-
lution, for In winter that means frozen
combs, colds aud kindred evils.
Poorly dressed poultry goes begging
In the market, while the supply of
choice (fancy) stock Is not sufficient to
meet the deniaud.
A box of granulated charcoal should
be kept in the poultry house.
If fowls or chicks have access to
charcoal they will never be troubled
with Intestinal worms.
For the Stomach.
Here's An Offer You Should Not
Overlook.
