J Cartage Is Costry. - This instance' is no exaggeration, A; very large part of " the foodstuffs brought to American cities goes over some such devious trail. One 'Wash ington (IX C.) wholesale merchant has stated that he spends $20,000 a year for cartage which could be saved if the' city had a wholesale terminal where cars could be unloaded directly into premises occupied by the whole salers. Following an investigation in New York city it was estimated by a local organization that the saving In handling costs which would result If adequate terminal facilities were es: tabllshed would' be $2,000,000 annual ly by the borough of Richmond; $8,000,000 by Queens; $16,000,000 by the Bronx; $21,000,000 by Brooklyn, and an even vaster, sum by Manhat tan. . Marketing experts admit that there are many baffling aspects to the high-cost-of-llvlng problem, but contend that the remedy for, the phase of our costly distribution system just de scribed is plain.

It Is estimated that only 3 per cent of the cattle in the United States are registered, and experts say that an In crease of 2 per cent accomplished in from five to ten years is a mark well worth aiming at. Out In Ustlck, near Boise City, the boys have shattered this record, ac cording to a report brought In by a Uhited States department of agricul ture field worker who recently visited the community. These boys, acting upon their own Initiative,, and aided by agents of the department and the State College of Agriculture, bought 19 head of purebred stock, thus Increas ing the total for their community 25 per cent. 'It; Is often advisable to teach the chicks to roost when eight to twelve. weeks of age.

If any, more danger of crooked breasts, than If the chicks are allowed , gtingeth like aa adder. to remain on the floor.

' ; TEST OUT BROODING SYSTEM Greatest Loss Is Due to Chilling Re ceived While Being Transferred From Incubator. Chickens are usually left in the In cubator from 24 to 36 hours after hatching, without feeding, before they are removed to the brooder, which should have been in operation for a. day or two at the proper temperature for receiving the chickens, say special ists of the United states department agriculture. A beginner should try his brooding system carefully before he uses it. After placing the chicken In the brooder they can be given feed and water. Subsequent loss in chick ens is frequently due to chilling re ceived while taking them from the in cubator to the brooder.

CULL OUT ALL LOAFER HENS Reason Why So Many Flocks Are Un r profitable' Is Because of Pres i Lack of proper culling thus far has proved to be. in the majority of cases, the principal reason why a poul try flock-is not profitable. Forty per cent of. the hens in the average farm flock today are nonproductive and should be sold or eaten. It costs about $2 a year, taking the country pver, to feed each hen. If she does not pro duce more than that amount of egg? she Is" unprofitable , on the brain of the drunkard. Since unbridled Jest always goes .with wine drinking, no doubt .it is true as the Authorized Version has it, "Thine eyes shall behold strange women.' Drunken men do desire and rave after unchaste women. (2) "Thine heart shall utter perverse things. His moral sense being perverted, his utterances partake of the same. He tells" lies his words cannot be relied upon. Any one who ha"s had dealings with a drunkard knows that his statements cannot be relied upon. 3. He is insensible to danger (v. 34). The drunkard is unsteady r his brain reels to and fro. He is foolhardy, even as one who would lie in the top of a ship's mast where there is the greatest danger of falling off. 4. He is Insensible to pain (v. 35). The drunkard Is utterly ignorant of what happens to him while under the Influence of strong drink. Many bruises and wounds the drunkard has which he cannot account for. 5. His abject bondage (v. 35). After all his suffering, sorrow, and disap pointments, he goes on as a bond slave to follow the ways of sin. 6.
