FLOWERS
The fairies had gone to the flower
show after the people had left.
Suddenly they burst out laughing,
for what should they see but a make-
believe horse.
It was Just such a horse as you see
outside of a cobbler's shop—a make
believe one but the same size as a
real one.
This horse was covered with vines
of Ivy, so that It looked like an Ivy
vine horee.
“Hello, Ivy Horse," said the fairies.
“You are certainly very fine Indeed.”
“I t Is a pity, though, that you can­
not neigh. Never mind, you look Just
as though you could, at any moment I”
"Hello, fairies,” called the flowers
In the sample gardens which had been
made for the flower show.
There were sample cottages and
gardens around them; there were
hedges of all sorts, beautiful Japa­
nese hedges too.
There were lovely acacia flowers.

“Sometimes, fairies,” said the or-

“Hello, fairies," called the spring

warmer than the other sections.
There were beds of tulips, yellow,
pink, red and mixed colors.
There were hyacinths of blue and

There were sweet peas, and, oh,
there were so many other flowers.

Bird» That Mimic
Birds from the ostrich down are
very Imitative. The ostrich where he
lives alone. Is silent, but In a country
where the Hons abound he roars. The
r— eon for this Is, we are reminded,
that admiring the lions roar, he grad­
ually learns to roar himself. And
small birds buntings Imitate pipits,
and green finches Imitate yellow ham­
mers. They reek their food In winter
together and they gradually steal
each other’s call. The Jay Is an In­
satiable Imitator. Some Jays will In­
clude In the repertory not only the
cries or songs of other birds, but also
the bleat of the lamb? and the neigh
of a horse. Even the nightingale Imi­
tates. In a nightingale’s song It Is
sometimes quite easy to detect phrases
he bas borrowed from other birds.

CHANGES MADE IN
MARKETING WAYS

o f A g ricu ltu re.)
Current developments In the co-op­
erative marketing of live stock are
having a far-reaching effect on the
live stock industry, according to C.
O. Randell, Department of Agriculture
economist, addressing the School of
Co-operative Marketing, at Manhattan,
Kan.
These developments Include the ef­
fect of motor truck transportation on
local live stock shipping associations,
the growth of co-operative live stork
selling and purchasing agencies st
central markets, the co-operative sell­
ing of live stock direct to packers
and other buyers, and the movement
of Stocker and feeder cattle, sheep
and hogs direct from the range to
feed lota.
There now are approximately 3,000
live stock shipping associations In the
United States and 2.UOO other associa­
tions that handle live stock as a side
line, Mr. Randell said. The majority
of these associations were organized
from 1918 to 1922 Inclusive, primarily
as a protest against the margins that
local buyers were taking on live stock
purchased from farm er*
By 1923
the associations bad passed tbe ex­
perimental stage and many of them
were functioning as efficient business
organizations.
About this time, according to Mr.
Randell, live stock began to be trans­
ported to market In Increasing num­
bers by motor truck. Many associa­
tions adjacent to large central mar­
kets were driven ont of business by
truck competlUon from associations
In more distant area * but In gome
sections the associations have met
this competition by operating trucks
: themselve* Other associations have
secured the services of farmers who
| own trucks and have contracted with
i these farmers to haul the stock to
■ the association* By centralizing the
business at one given point, associa­
tions have been able to load out bogs
In double deck cars and thus effect
a considerable saving in freight; also
by handling a large volume of business
they have reduced their operating cost
per unit to such a point that a local
buyer cannot successfully compete
with them.
The department, through the bureau
of agricultural economic* la making
a five-year survey of the local live
stock shipping situation. Thousands
of records have been gathered for the
years 1923 to 1925, inclusive. Many
associations replying to the bureau's
1927 schedules stated they were "out
of business due to the competition of
the truck.” Completion of the survey
Is expected to produce valuable data
on current trends In the local live
stock shipping situation.

Outlook Is Held Good
for Breeding Horses
The United States has five million
fewer horses than It had In 1920.
Furthermore, the competition ot the
tractor is tending to eliminate the
poorer draft type* leaving a field
and a profitable market for the draft
horse of good quality and weight
For the foregoing reason* W. C
Coffey, dean of the department of
agriculture of the University of Min­
nesota, In a talk to horse breeders
of Minnesota at their annual meeting
in connection with Farmers’ and
Homemakers’ week at University
