keep it running smoothly 
Thousands of tiny, intricate cells and ducts 
make up the milk-producing system of the 
udder and teats. Injury to any part of these 
tissues causes a holding up of the milk flow. 
Permanent congestion and loss of productive 
capacity may result from neglect of the slight¬ 
est hurt. 
At the first sign of any cut, scratch, bruise 
chap or inflammation apply Bag Balm. This 
Soothing ointment protects the wound, stimu¬ 
lates circulation and brings about quick and 
proper healing. 
The penetrating, restoring powers of Bag Balm 
nre very effective in the treatment of Caked Bag 
and also Bunches, Cow Pox and Stricture. No 
cow owner should be without this remedy.

Choice of Poultry Breed 
Depends on Your Market 
W HICH breed shall it be? That I 
should say depends entirely on what 
one is aiming at. If eggs be the object 
then the White Leghorn is unbeatable. 
They lay a chalk white egg, and as white 
eggs in our market bring two to three cents 
per dozen more than brown eggs, that is a 
telling point in their favor. 
The chicks we find easy to rear, the 
pullets mature fast, lay early, are great 
winter layers and more can be kept in a 
given space than of the large breeds, four 
square feet of floor room being allowed to 
a bird of the large breeds and three or 
three and one-half being sufficient for 
the small breeds, and the more hens one 
can accommodate the more eggs in the 
basket. 
Every spring we have from four to five 
hundred chicks. In the beginning we 
incubated our own eggs and had very 
small losses in rearing. Then we began 
buying day-old-chicks of a local poultry- 
man and had such heavy losses that after 
a couple of years we changed our tactics 
and hired our own eggs incubated after 
taking extreme care that all conditions 
were right for producing eggs that would 
hatch sturdy chicks, and since doing this 
our losses are small, averaging about 10%. 
They have the best care we know how to 
give and free range after a few weeks. 
In 1913 out of a bunch of 436 day-old- 
chicks we had 208 pullets at six months, 
the cockerels that year being consider¬ 
ably in the minority. One objection often 
raised against Leghorns is that the broilers 
are lighter and bring less per pound than 
broilers of the heavy breeds. That is 
true but it is of minor importance, all 
other things considered. 
If only a few hens are kept for family 
convenience, very likely one of the gen¬ 
eral purpose breeds might be more satis-

We Favor the League Plan 
{Continued from page 98) 
Now in regard to the multiple price 
plan. I gather from Mr. Van Wagenen’s 
article three reasons why the multiple 
price is the vrong principle: 
1. The citrus growers do not use it. 
2. That the value of the lowest priced sale determines 
to a considerable extent the price of the whole. 
3. That the multiple price plan violates an economic 
law because it creates an artificial price. 
The citrus growers do not use it. 
Lemons are not a strictly perishable crop. 
They can, with proper control, be placed 
on the market when and where the 
market is best, and no more than are al¬ 
ready ordered. Furthermore, the uses of 
lemons are very restricted. On the other 
hand, milk is the most perishable product. 
It is mainly placed on the market without 
a definite order and in indefinite amounts. 
Last, milk has a great variety of uses. 
Therefore the system of marketing lemons 
and milk must be different for the greatest 
efficiency to both. 
That "the .price of the lowest sale deter¬ 
mines the price to a considerable extent 
of the whole. This law is true like other 
laws of nature under certain conditions, 
as carbon will unite with oxygen, the con¬ 
dition being when there is enough heat. 
An electric current will decompose water 
under the condition that sulphuric acid 
is put in the water. So with the above 
law when a man is forced to sell, and the 
man who buys already has plenty. When 
others are bent on price cutting and the 
surplus must compete with articles pro¬ 
duced abroad, the law works like magic. 
That is the exact purpose of the several 
cooperative associations. Namely to 
remove the conditions before mentioned 
and stop this law from working. “ We 
can’t,” as Mr. Van Wagenen says, “vio¬ 
late the law,” but we can and will change 
the conditions so the law can't work. 
Now in regard to the artificial price. 
“Artificial” means created by human 
skill, not created by nature. I have never 
heard of a price in gold being created by 
anything other than human skill and the
