CO-OI'FNATION IN NKH JKKSKV.
The co-operative movement has
made its appearance in New Jersey,
where progressive farmers have
joined together in arranging a $500.-
000 loan for financing their next
year's potato crop. Apparently they
mean to apply to potatoes all the
most approved methods that have
been found successful in the market-
ing of fruit. And there ought to be I aR long as two or three men can

outfits, which will carry the saw
from cut to cut, are also in the mar-
ket for large operations.
It will probably be found eco-
nomical, however, to save the trunk
of the tree for timber, cutting off
the top and large limbs for fuel. The
circular or buzz saw is preferable
for cutting these Into stove wood

' cut the wood Into lengths by hand
In sawing poles two men can work
be rolled ' e*fectlvely, and even one man alone
is better off for having a power-saw
outfit.
However, under ordinary condi-
tions, with the limited amount of
wood necessary to keep one family
through the winter, a good plan is
for several farmers to club together
and buy an outfit which can be
moved from one place to another.
The original cost will not be a seri-
ous factor on a partnership basis,
and the cost per cord will be reduced
to a point where the outfit will pay
for itself in a few years at the out-
side. The cooperative plan also sug-
gests "wood bees," and the exchange
of work will save cnsh-labor outlay
at a season when time is more plen-
tiful than money.

stitutes. Out in Colorado, the piKf,
ranchers are driving their stock to j shkkp

150 miles and requiring a week or
ten days for the trip to Denver.
The expense, according to cat-
tlemen, for shipping cattle from
eastern Colorado to Denver, a
distance of 100 to 12'> miles, is
about $70 a car. The expense for
driving: a car of cattle through,
where as many as four or five
cars are driven, Is about $80.
Instead of cattle losing weight in
the driving as might be expected,
most of the cattle actually gain tn

Outbreaks of Disease Among
Cattle May Be Averted
Sometimes.
All farm animals that die from un-
known causes should preferably be
buried deep in quicklime. Many out-
breaks of infectious diseases owe
their origin to carcasses which were
allowed to decompose in the opeu
pastures or barn lots to whichr other
animals had accesB. The United
States department of agriculture ad-
vises every farmer who sufTers mor-
tality among his live stock from un-
known causes to have a competent
veterinarian make a post-mortem
examination and cremate the re-
mains or bury them deep in quick-
lime.
Hogs, next to poultry, are usually
the most numerous live stock on the
average farm, and as hog cholera la
the most dreaded scourge which
Jeopardizes the porker population, it
is obligatory that the carcasses of
hogs dying from unknown causes
should be burned or burled deep in
quicklime. An old metal wheel
serves as an excellent base for the
funeral pyre. The wheel should bo
raised five or six Inches above the
ground on three or four stones, so
that a fire can be kindled under-
neath it. The carcass of the dead
hog should be placed on this wheel.
In order that the carcass will burn
readily and thoroughly, it should be
slashed deeply with a knife so that
the flames may penetrate to the fat
and all the carcass burn rapidly.
Where horses or cattle die, so
much labor is involved in digging
trenches of sufficient size and depth
t oaccommodate them that it Is pref-
erable to dig deep a smaller grave
and to dismember the carcasses so
they will fit in the small space.
These graves should be not less than
five feet deep and the carcasses
should be covered thickly with
quicklime, which will soon consume
the fleshy portions.

The government's suit against the
Midwest Bureau alleges that:
1. Cement manufacturers entered
into "gentlemen's agreements" to sell
their output at fixed prices.
2. That production was curtailed
so that higher prices could be de-
manded.

history of the Portland cement in-

Freighting by Truck.
The railroads are losing millions
of dollars In transportation money i
because they will not get back to it
sane basis of charges. Hundreds of j
small towns out from the wholesale
centers are having their freight
hauled by truck.
We happen to know of one case
where a small town now gets practi-
cally everything In hardware, pro-
duce, groceries, oil and gasoline and
other merchandise via the truck line.
The remedy, however, does nof
lie ill raising the cost on the
truffle remaining, but rather in
lowering rates and regaining the
lost tonnage. The foolish policy
of the railroads in not reducing
rotes Is largely responsible for
their present troubles.

Monday that the street car men were

the 5 per cent cut was not serious.
