JAMES MYERS, _ Holstein More than half a century earlier in the Gazette and Oracle of 1799, adverâ€" tisements appear which quote the price of tea in Toronto at 19s per lb for Hyson, 148 for Souchong and s for Bohea. â€" Even if the New York $1.20 up to $2.25 per Ib. But beverages were not all pricea accordingly. Even in the Orillia aeâ€" count of 1867, there was itemized a half gallon of whiskey at 60c.

THE DURHAM REVIEW Boots, Tea and Whiskey hicks Hatching Eggs Custom Hatching E. A. RENTON, Teacher FOR SALE MARRIED Farmers in the vicinity of Markâ€" dale have become intensely interesiâ€" ed in an improved system of Egg Marâ€" keting. On several ocasions the Grey Co. Branch, Dept. of Agriculture, have been requested for information on the subject. In compliance with this request, Mr T. A. Benson, Fgg Marketing expert, Poultry Branch Dominion Dept. of Agriculture, Wwas brought to address the farmers on the subject Coâ€"operative Egg Marketâ€" ing. on April 2nd. A representative audience greeted the speaker. In his opening remarks he defined a Coâ€"operative Association as an Asâ€" sociation organized primarily for the purpose of marketing farm products along coâ€"operative lines in the interesi _of the producing and consuming pubâ€" iHc. and without particular or any reâ€" \gard to profit, but in the expectataion ithat through the stanardization and stabilization of the products marketâ€" ed, the elimination of waste and specâ€" ulation in so far as conditions of the market will permit, its stockholders might be assured of a fair return upâ€" on their labor and investment and the consumerâ€" assured a constant supply of said products of uniform and standard quality at a price reasâ€" onably commensurate with the cost of production. The definition as given will never affect an individual adversely but will redound to the benefit of every perâ€" son, be he producer or consumer, The fundamental principle of any coâ€" operative Association is that of ‘Serâ€" vice.‘ Mr. Benson emphasized the followâ€" ihg needs to assure success of any coâ€"operative organization :â€"â€" 1. A recognized necessity for imâ€" proving marketing conditions and the establishment of a better service. 2. The possibility of controlling a suflicient volume of the products to be handled to justify engaging comâ€" petent management and meeting nec essary overhead charges. 3. A cast iron contract between Inâ€" dividual members and the Associau ion on binding each member to marâ€" ket all his marketable crop of the product, to be handled through the Association. 4. Experts, energetic management and â€" strictly expert and accurate methods of accounting. 5. Loyalty on the part of all mem bers in reference to all details effect ing rules and regulations of the s sociation. Briefly the organization is composâ€"| ed of local egg circles in each disâ€"| trict. The management of these are| left in the hands of a body of direciâ€" ors who were picked out of the var-‘; ious farmers selling their ergs. through their own Associadion. These local organizations are combined in one great selling centre. This main| centre employs the manager. Each; local has its own representative in the selling Association. | The above is sufficient to show that help is being given to any farmers who feel that improvement could be made in marketing their eggs. Any person intorested can get Mr. Benâ€" son‘s sorvices free of charge by writâ€" ing to the Dept. of Agricuiture, Markâ€" dale. In passing it might be stated that Oxford County has 25 circles organâ€" ized. The members of these have asked to be federated or. combined under one selling agency at Woo« stock. Mr R. G. Green, Agricuiturai Ropresentative, Oxford Co., is no: having T. A. Benson to work out tme details of the central organization. Oxford Co. farmers must be delightâ€" ed with the results by solling their poultry producis through egg circles when they are asking for the fedoi ation of these circles. It is time Greoy Co. farmers bave taken the matter up. B. Columbia, Prince Edward Ia. and New Brunswick are now all orâ€" ganized. Mr Benson who was chic: ly instrumental in getting those Provâ€" inces organized, is now in Ontario enâ€" gaged in similar work. All the prov inces now organized are delighted with the results. Ontario would be if they tried the work Let Grey Co. follow Oxford‘s lead. Mix one pint of formalin with 46 gallons of water. Place the grain to be treated in a heap on a clean floor. Sprinkle hh(- formalin sgolution over the grain, then shovel thegrain into another pile so as to mixâ€"it thoroughâ€" ly: then sprinkle and shovel again. Repeat this operation until every grain is moistened by the solution, Just enough of the solution should be applied to thoroughly wet every grain but not enough to make the grain we; and sloppy. In treating small quanuâ€" tities use proportional amounts of the formalin solution. _ After the grain has been thoroughly sprinkled, covâ€" er the pile with bags or sacking that have been sprinkled with or soakea in a formalin solution and leave for three or four hours. _ At the end of this time spread the grain out thinly to dry. Shovel it over three or fow: times to hasten the drying. 40 gal. of the formalin solution is sufficient to sprinkle between 50 and 60 bush. of grain.
