The . breaking up of the dairymen's organization will not affect in the least the above mentioned agreement.

It is doubtful If there is a single man in the state - who knows everything about 'the Dairymen's League, and 4tiere ' : are therefore very few men who are capa- ble dbi forming a comprehensive opin ion regarding its possibilities.

The wools were later graded 'and put into merchantable condition by the large, wool merchant but this did not help the wool grower in knowing what kind of wool to grow, how to grow it or how to prepare it for market v. , ; In the association the growers woojs are carefully graded and the grower at the end of the year receives his grade sheet with explanations as to what the various grades mean and their relative value. From the association he soon learns how to prepare wools for market so that they will command the highest J price, xa uie naiunu progress ui cu i the better methods of growing, shearing I and. packing will become standard prac-1 tlce with the farm flock growers, and 1 this will greatly enhance the value of their clln. as well las eventually estabish- ing a good reputation for valley wools. which have been. at a .great disadvantage In this respect In past years. Dr. Macpherson who has made a spe cial study of cooperation in general and dairymen's associations in particu lar, has written to The Journal In part as follows: From manv dairvmen mem- bers of the league and from others in I wMlvMnartMl KAtlnna rf -frift United I used by the enemies of the new coop- eratlve movement everywhere as a means I 0f discouraging the formation of the asso-1 clatlona which are springing np all over l the country.

Poultry 1 NOTES The else of the flock which can be kept most efficiently will depend upon the space available and upon the amount of table' scraps and other waste available for feed. , It is) a mistake to overstock I your land. Better results will be ob tained from a lew hens in a smau yara than 20 or 25 hens, and often of not more than eight or 10. For 20 or 25 hens you should have a yard 25x30 feet in sise. Pullets are lately to show a drop tn gg production, often traceable to over reeding at Wis seaaoa 01 un jrcw. iuw starting to lay in October or early in November develop a keen appetite . and consume on the average more feed than they will later on. The tendency to over feed should be avoided carefully at this time, and If anything the amount or scratch era in should be reduced. Should the birds stand around idle, cut down the feed on til they again get : busy scratching in the litter. Poultrrmen should not attempt to economise on straw litter at this time of year. With such unusual , wet weather litter will absorb dampness ana get soggy aulckly. It is a good plan to stir the straw at night, wnicn practice ten as to keen the birds active. Clean the lit ter out each week if necessary as clean. drv straw will cromote exercise that Lhelps to fin the egg basket It doesn't taae many eggs ai present prices u pay for a bale of .straw.
