RATIFICATION OF TREATY FAILS
TO ALLAY ANXIETY OVER THE
INTERNAL SITUATION
DE VELERAS STEP PUZZLES
Resignation Appears Not To Have
Taken Official Form And Ques
tion Is Whether He Will
Carry Out His Intention
Dublin.—The pence treaty has been
ratified, and prayers went up from
the people in all the churches, but Ire
land continues to face internal disor
ganization, giving rise to the greatest
anxiety.
The spilt in the Dail Eireann has
been heightened and intensified by
the vote on the treaty, and the future
never was more obscure. At various
hours the two factions held confer
ences at the Mansion House. The
Dial will meet again in public session,
and all the members are expected to
attend.
It lias become apparent that Eamonn
de Valera's resignation as president
of the republic did not take an offic
ial form, and the outstanding question
is whether he will make effective his
expressed intention to resign, and if
he does not what will become of the
Dail. Many believe that the oppon
ents of the treaty plan to keep the
Finn Fein parliament in being while
the supporters of the treaty try to es
tablish a provisional government and
carry out the terms of the peace agree
ment.
Mr rio Valera's resignation tendered
to the Dail Eireann was specific. He
consented, however, to postpone ac
tion upon it under condition that a
vote on the treaty be taken within 48
hours. At the same time he plainly
said he intended, “whatever happen
ed,” to retire to private life.
When the vote was taken the resig
nation was not repeated, Mr. de Valera
merely alluding to it when he rose and
in a voice broken with emotion began
to exp]jdn his personal position. But
he had not gone far when he sat down,
unable to go on.
Later de Valera announced a meet
ing, exclusively confined to the 57
deputies who voted against the treaty
and at the Mansion House before the
private session of his associates he
delivered a speech which was a clear
Indication of his intention to continue
the fight, this time apparently not only
against the British government, hut
against the government of the Irish
Free State. He said he regards it as
an usurpation to which his chief ob
jection is that it derives its authority
from the British parliament
To Dismiss Guards.

EGG CIRCLES AID FARMERS in
SOLVING MARKETING I ROBLEMa
:I. oiv. •rtfs.'lri Jt>
An Egg-Circle Pay Day Gives Opportunity for Exchange of Experiences
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When it is considered that the value
of the poultry and egg crop Is equal
to that of either the hay or wheat crop,
and that there is a total annual loss
of nearly S per cent of the eggs
marketed, it is evident that many pro
ducers would he benefited by a change
in the methods of handling and market
ing eggs. Investigations by ihe United
States Department of Agriculture have
shown that a good share of this big
loss occurs as a result of improper
handling between the farm and the
market, and much of the carelessness
Is attributed to the habit of consider
ing eggs a by-product and, conse
quently, giving them poor care.
Organize a Few Egg Producers.
In many communities the problem of
getting better returns for eggs has
been satisfactorily solved by the or
ganization of several farmers or
farmers’ wives into little associations
known ns egg circles. These organiza
tions have been useful In improving
the quality of eggs in various ways in
addition to better methods of market
ing. Some of them have given much
attention to selecting standard breeds
that lay more or larger eggs. Trey
have also made a study of better
Caro, feeding, and shelter.
To improve the quality of the poultry
stock, one of the most successful egg
companies has a large Incubator house
of 12,000 eggs capacity, where early
chicks are hatched f<*r the members
at low cost. This is done in order to
obtain early maturing pullets, thus
securing eggs during the fall when
they are usually scarce and high
priced. This company also has a re
reiving room for eggs where they are
candled, sorted to weight (about 24
ounces to the dozen), packed in car
tons, and shipped on contract orders
The eggs are all guaranteed to be true
to grade; they advertise the fancy
grades on their cartons or cases, and
market prices are i aid to the members.
Twice a year dividends are paid
each member In proportion to the
number of eggs marketed through the
company and the time of year eggs
were brought in, a larger dividend
being paid per dozen for eggs brought
In during the fall and winter than for
tiiose brought In during the spring and
summer. A regular trade is established
with discriminating consumers, with
city clubs, with the best class of hotels
and restaurants, and with fancy
grocers for a supply each day or week.
AVOID DISAGREEABLE SMELLS
Unlees Scrupulous Care Is Taken Un
pleasant Odors Are Likely to
Hurt Products.
In winter smells are apt to find tlu-ir
way to milk and butter quite ns readily
ns in summer. Now these products
must be kept in the house, and some
artificial heat must be used to keep
them from freezing. This dose con
finement is very apt to bring an un
pleasant smell or taste to milk and
butter unless the most scrupulous care
Is taken. Milk ought never to he kept
anywhere near the kitchen. If it is,
some bad smells will surely be im
parted to the milk and cream.
CHARCOAL GOOD PREVENTIVE
Has Great Purifying Effect in Absorb
ing Noxious Gases—Aids Di
gestive Disorders.
The valifo of charcoal can scarcely
lie over-emphasized, and it should lie
fed to fowls of all ages as a preven
tive of bowel disorders and disease.
It is best to ' >p it befone the fowls
at all times, as there is no danger of
them oatmg too much. < liarcoal lias
a great purifying effect in absorbing
noxious gases, and will correct many
digestive disorders.
GOOD DAIRYMAN IS DEFINED
Among Other Things He Should Meet
and Know Other Men Who Can
Handle Cows.
To be a good dairyman you must
meet aud know other dairymen who
know how to handle cows. Read the
agr.cultural papers, and the paper de
vot;d to your breed. I5e familiar with
the weak and strong points of each
anl nnl in the hero and strive to pre
vent a recurrence of the weak points
m .he uttsprtug by skiiilui mulii**. }
The reputation thus established i
enables the association to fix its price
at several cents a dozen above the
regular market quotations. This asso
ciation. In common with many others,
co-operates in buying chicken feed and
other supplies.
Attractive Package Is Important.
One of the very important considera
tions In getting a good price for eggs
thus marketed is an attractive
package. Some of the most successful
shippers have done away with dirty,
wooden cases, and use a heavy fiber
board case which will hold from to to
20 pasteboard cartons of 12 eggs each.
Advertising is printed upon both' th<
cartons and the case. Some of the
circles market by parcel post within
the first and second zones: that Is.
IfiO miles. When eggs are sold in this )
way. special care must be given to
packing.
Another marketing method tlint 1ms |
b on developed with a good deal of
success in dairy sections is to sell
through the creamery. Eggs can be
delivered to the creamery with the
cream or milk, and the creamery
officials arc often able to work up a
fancy trade with those who huv their
butter.
The objects °f such organizations,
as p|ven in the sample constitution
eomniled by the I>ep:irtment of Agri
culture. "'Ill give a cock] Idea of wlmt
most of these circles at'einpt to ac
complish. They are: The securing of
better strains of poultry; to produce
more eggs of good color and size; to
handle cg.cs more carefully in order
to 1 , aide to guarantee them, and thus
create a reptitntion: to market same
more •. 1 ir<• <• 11 y to the consumer; t*> pur
chase supplies in a co-onerathe way;
and to do such other things as may
prove of benefit to members of the
community.
Now Is Good Time to Organize.
Tie winter months, when there is
usually more leisure for farmers to get
together and talk over their problems,
should lie the best time to make the
first move in organizing :m egg circle.
Marketing eggs is not such, a problem
tit this season, but when the hens be
gin to lay heavily in the spring it will
la* a gn at convenience to have an or
ganization already in working order.
Detailed information regarding (lie
organization of egg circles may fie ob
tained from the Department of Agri
culture.
ESSENTIALS FOR DAIRY BULL
Future Development of Herd Depends
Largely on What Calves Inherit
From Him.
Too often the hull is housed In n
(lurk, dirty '•lull and rereives hut little
attention. Itemember the bull Is half
the herd and that the future develop
ment i f the herd depends largely up
on what the calves Inherit from him.
The hull at till times should have
proper feed and plenty of exercise.
Tile young hull should he fed rather
liberally as this Is the only means of
getting his full si/.e developed and an
undersized animal Is always looked
upon unfavorably.
RAISE CALVES SUCCESSFULLY
Feeder Must Have General Knowledge
of Subject and Then Apply it
in Practical Manner.
In order to raise calves successfully
tho feeder must huve a general knowl
edge of the subject, and then apply
bis knowledge in a practical manner.
It is highly important, also, that sani
tation be considered one of the most
Important factors involved In the rais
ing of calves; that all milk must not

GIVE BIRDS PLENTY OF GRIT
Good Plan to Dump Supply of Sharp
Sand Near Henhouaa for
Fowls to Work Over
* *
See that your hens get plenty of l
grit, either in the form of sharp sand
whleh can he dumped near the hen- I
