C0o per bottle An Efficiert Poulty Association Service to MVembers and the Public Brings Success to the South Carolina Poultry Breeders' Association. Clemson College, April 26.-The continuous growth of the South Caro. lina Poultry Breeders' association is a typical illustration of the fact that helpful associations succeed, while those that do not profit their mem. bers are doomed to failure. The present State Poultry association was organized in Columbia four y ago to hold an annual State Pult'ry show, to enable poultrymen to buy poultry supplies and food through the annual meeting and banquet, and to create a greater confidence in the poultry business and those engaged in it. Seventy members were enrolled the first,your and t4e association took over the managoment of the poultry department of the South Carolina State Fair and conducted the first State Poultry sh&iv. The success of the show, which placed the name of the owner of every bird on its coop, and had printed cards filled in with the selling price of all birds for sale, was immediate. Owners proiltAd by the advertising they obtaiod, while the visitors profited by knowing who owned the chickens they admired and whether or not they were for 3ale. So successful has this system be como, that last year $1,600 was paid exhibitors for birds sold during the show, and Judge Nixon referred to the South Carolina State Show as the best managed and best selling show he had over attended. In contrast with the seventy mem. bors four yearf ago, fifty-fouir new members have joined the Association in the eleven weeks since the first of January and the members for the year will not be less than 250. While the South Carolina Poultry Breeders' association offers the members sey eml hundred dollars in sweopstakes and cash specials at each state poul try show, this iiducoment is not the primary one in securing and holding a large membership in the Carolinas and Georgia. Confldential letters mailed to. the members mention the kind of incu. bators, brooders. poultry stpplies, foods and poultry magazines that can be recommended after thorough in. vestigation as suita'le for South Car, olina conditions. In som cases an great a (iscount w; fifty per cent is offered the members of the State Pnultry association, and the saving made by a member on onA transac, tion will usually pay for many yearm the annual dues of one dollar.

BULL ASSOCIATION How They Work Out in Practice.-Helpful to Large as Well as Small Breeders. Clemson College, April 26.-More and more the usefulness of the co operative bull associations is recog nized as time goes on and its bone fiets to the dairy industry have a chance to become evident. The full results that can be obtained from such an associatioin obviously can not appear for several years. It is evi dent thereforp that since the -bull as sociations are of only recent begin ning, the benefits so far obtained are only the fore-shadowing of greater things to come. The co-operative bull association has been carefully planned to enable a number of small dairymen and far mers who individually could- not af ford good bulls, to combine their re sources and buy a few really good dairy sires. For example, suppose four farmers each have $100 to invest in a bull. They are so situated that they can all use the same bull. The association makes it possible for them to pool their -resources and buy one $400 bull, presumably four times as good as any one of the four $100 ani mals that they could buy individually. It is gratifying to see that this theory is working out in practice so well that it applies not only to the dairymen with $100 available for investment in a bull but equally well to the one with only .$10, or on the other hand to the one with $500. Saves the Good Bells. The money advantage is the first thing which attracts th* farmer's at tention to the bull association, but by far the greatest advantage of the or ganization is the exchange of- bulls every tvo years by mielns of which continued use of bulls can be had un til their value is proved. Statistical figures indieate that bulls owned by individuals are used only to an aver age age of about three kears. . At this age it Is inpossible to have any !ro duction recoT-ds of the offspring, which is the only real test of a sire's value. Because of this short life of the bull it happens over and over again that dairy farmers have dis novered, after the daughters had fin inhed a record, the exceptional pre potent qualities of their sire; and then, on looking around for 'that sire. have made anotier discovery, a 4nad one. that the svarix was futile, for the sire had gone to the butcher. Beneficial to Family Cow Owners. The average herd of :ill the mom born of these associations consists of six cows. Inasinuch as there are many herds with ten or a dozen cowq, it follo7vs' that there muist he a great nuiber of herds with less tian six cows each. Tn fact, town peop! own ing family cows are oftmn members. paying thoir shair or as %r'SSiment of five, tIn, or wha.tever numh11o'. oil d1o1 lars is required for each cow; and for this paymn011t tz(y havo thn u1"o of all the huhls in the a ssocia tioln.

Have tile blocks well or-gllaizd, princip~ally with ireferee to satisfac tory location of mlemblers anld the place to keep tihe bull. 2. Have tile association well or ganized, with carefully selected offl corn, the principal one of whom is the secretary.
