Circles Mean More and Belter Eggs

Two egg ••circles" In Lee County, . last year sold $12.1 40 worth of eggs, and so far this -biaira* last year's records. An egg "circle" is an association of producers for the co-operative market- • ing of eggs. It may have few memrs or many. The eggs, which bear e "circle’s" stamp, are guarantee >, and they command better price stban . eggs which have been Improperly bandied. As poultry on the average farm is under the fare of the farm wife most of the egg circle's

members are women.

The first egg circle in Lee County - organised near Shannon lu 1915. the county home demonstration stent, who is supervised by the i'nited States Department of Agrilulture and the state colleges. There w< re only eight members at first, but the number soon Increased to 20. The circle adopted certain rales, \ some of which were to gather the etgs once or twice dally, to strmp name and address of “circle” with individual's number on each egg, and »o meet once a week lu winter and | wice in summer. If a member was gulliy of selling a bad egg, she mnst pay « fine. The individual's nnmoer on the shell of a returned egg located the guilty one The "circle" eggs]

were ps deed In SO-dosen egg cases. The sec alary-treasurer kept accounts and sett :ed with the member the week followirg the saies. Turns were taken in carrying the eggs to town. This n'role still exists, and as time has gone on has broadened lu field of co-or‘ration. Now it sells butter as wei’ as eggs, and the members •j*n/ ot their supplies co-oper-

atively.

Other common!:.!<a In the county have taken up the Idea, and some of them are doing even bigger thlngn than the original group. Two of the other “circles” have a membership of 60 each. Besides increasing their owu Incomes the members of an erg "circle” put a better class of eggs on the market. The social and educational feature of the “circle” are also considerable. The two largest “circles" la Lee County chip most of their eggs directly to Memphis. In 19^9 they netted $1500 over what they woold bnv deceived on the local market for their products. The Shannon '’circle” last year sold $5,831.10 worth of eggs: and the Baldwin. the other- large ''circle,” sold $6,304.80 worth. These two "circles” In 12 months’ time marketed 28.746 doten", of egga.

Insisting On A

Novelty In Italy There goes a stojy that in the pre-nupTt-l contract of a forward-looking Yankee girl who Is soon to marry an Italian nobleman Is a specification that his home is to be equipped with bathrooms. As American dollars are likely to pay for the plumbing, there can be no ground fo* criticizing the requirements made . Indeed, as most pre-nuptial contracts with foreigners drawn to guarantee the foreigner’s comfort, rather than that of the bride, the pnbllc is likely to wish the physical welfare of the bride. For some reason Europe has been a laggard in facilities for personal cH-acliness. Bath tubs have been regarded as an affectation rather than a necessity. Any retoroed service man can give noisome details of the family life in France, and the aversion of people in rural districts to soap and water. A distinguished Frenchman once thanked God be had never insulted his skin by putting cold water on it. Thonsands of bis fellow countrymen have a similar hostility to hot water mixed with soap. Perhaps it Is as bn* In Italy. Our fair countrywoman who is to marry the nobleman may have traveled In his counts y—may even have spent a week-end cn his estate. We fancy she knows what she Is shout, even while we regret tost she does not see America first ns her finest opportunity to win

hrypiness in wedlock.

Innefficiency In Producing Power Some day we shall learn not to furnish unnecessary work just because certain Interests like the pay for aolng II. If coal were properly handled very lltle of it would ever get Into a railroad car. How much of the energy of cool is applied to the task It is to accomplish directly? By far the greater port 5s converted in electricity as a more convenient method of distributing it. Can. therefore. anything be more nonsensical than to load the coat on cars at the month of the mine, trundle it several hundred miles across the country, snb ject to much expense, delay and loss, then unload it and mnke It Into elec-

tricity?

About the only excuse for doing this most awkward and inefficient thing mnst be that the railroads, which dominate all transportation in this country, like the money they receive for hauling coal. Any yet by their own confession they have never an adequate supply of cars. Coal is held up at the mines because the railroads cannot furnish cars. Coal clutters up railroads so that perishable stuff s delayed and wasted to the amout.. uf millions of dollars. Coil is lo't I and stolen and wasted all the v, -.y from the mines to the cities where it U anx*iusly awaited, and meanwhile | every industry in the country Buffers. | And yet all this is unnecessar; They are bringing electric cnrretn from the Wes*. Virginia coal fields t< Ohio. It new reaches Akron and will sot-n be In Cleveland. If through all these yean th<» coal mines had bee.i freon from railroad ownership, all the power used In this country would be slipping like- "greased lightning” from the mines to the cities and the smoke and grime and stench of burning soft ccrj would be confined to small areas afur from the centers of population Sometime we will learn how to throw off the hands that keep the peoph from enjoying the benefits of the achievemerta of science.

Kill Many Rabid Animals In West That the hilling of wild animals altucted with rabies is an Important phase of the work carried on by me Bureau of Biological Survey. United States Department of Agriculture, i Indicated by reports received from .he bureau’s skilled hunters in the West. In western regions where predatory animals are found both human life and live stock are seriously menaced when rabies appears. In Washington, tor example, one of the hunters reported that a rabid coyote had attacked two boys sleeping in a haystack and had badly torn the bcdqutlis covering them before he was driven off. Oregon a young woman was set upon by a rabid coyote, which finally ran into a store, where it was shot. The following day three school children or. horseback In the same locality w plucked by another coyote, which they succeeded In killing at serious risk to themjelves. On a farm near Olympia, Wash., five head of cattle, one bog, and four dogs were killed because they were afflicted with ra hies. A hunter in Bannock County, Idaho, stated that he was endeavoring ti cate rabid coyotes in his region, believing them responsible for the loss ot many cattle In that visinlty whicn had gone mad. In five of the Northwestern States there was a very serious outbreak of rabios in 1914 (before Federal control measures were instituted), and ac. a resnlt more than 1500 people were bitten and over 50 died. While the disease still exist* scattered loagUties. the Federal measures undoubtedly are very largely responsible foi the prevention of its general spread throughout the western range States.
