President Barrett Tells F. U. Men
Some Interesting Facts
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers’ Union;
HROUGHOUT America one of
the leading topics for discus
sion is the recent elections,
and the political overturn
> 11
which has given the democratic
party a strong majority in the na
tional house of representatives.
Naturally the farmers of this
country, and members of this orga
nization, are drawn into and par
ticipate in the comment.
As I have before stated, insurg
ents, republicans, democrats, soc
ialists —what not —all look alike,
or should look alike, to the farmers
of this country and, emphatically so
to the members of the Farmers’
Union.
The test is found, not in the label
by which a man classifies his poli
tics, but in his bona fide actions,
the faithfulness with which he makes
promise square with performance,
the fidelity with which he keeps his
contract with the people.
In ordinary business and social
relations we condemn the man who
is guilty of breach of contract or of
bad faith, even of duplicity when it
comes to carrying out the agree
ment.
The same rule, unchanged by the
dotting of an “I”, should rule in pol
itics.
It makes no difference to what
party a congressman or a legislator,
a governor or a sheriff owes his
allegiance, if he disregards the pledg
es he has made to his consituents or,
by silence and inaction, aligns him
self against their best interest.
We are going to get results in the
way of reform in this country when
the voter is as vigilant in his watch
upon the office holders as he is in
his activities during campaigns.
Therefore, I hold it as merely the
dictates of common sense that it is
our duty to keep close watch on con
gress and its guiding forces, whether
administered by the parties now vis
ible or those that may arrive at
some time in the future.
EXAMINE THE MAN, RATHER
THAN THE PARTY.
It would profit you nothing if you
elect a democrat in place of a re
publican, or an insurgent in place
of a standpatter, IF YOU NOTICE
NO GAIN IN SERVICE FROM THE
CHANGE.
The trouble is, the average farmer
—city man, for that matter — puts
a new man in office at the high tide
of a wave of dissatisfaction and
THEN FORGETS. As a result, nine
times out of ten, he finds his un
watched representative needs re
placing sooner or later, and there is
all the excitement and delay to en
dure again.
The day the American farmer
realizes this principle and realizes,
additionally, that he can vitalize any
legislative program by unceasing
demands upon his representatives,
we will see the farmers of this coun
try rescued from the neglect visited
upon them by the government for
many years.
I urge upon you to keep in person
al touch tiwh your representative or
senator, relative to those measures
favored by this organization.
Failure to secure results in legis
lation is due almost as much to the
failure of the constituents to in
dulge in prodding as to the tendency
of the office holder to snore on his
job.
CHARLES S. BARRETT.
Union City, Ga., Dec. 26th.
Even a Hog Needs Pure Air.
Some people think a hog can get
along anyway, anywhere and any
how —he is contented as “just a hog,’’
and no thought is taken for his
health or comfort.
As he is nothing more than a good
chunk of money if properly devel
oped, it is a foolish waste to neglect
him. The hog has no more sentiment
than a hen, but he will think or
suffer according to the way he is
treated.
Drafts are prime promoters of
colds, which develop into pneumonia
and what is generally known as swine
fever.
It is important that the bottom
boards of tlie hog house should be
thoroughly well battened and the
divisions between the pens should be
treated in the same way.
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation of
their winter quarters, or if they at
tempt to ventilate at all they do lit
tle more than leave a few cracks
around the bottom through which
the cold air can get in, but provide
no way for it to get out.
Ample ventilation should be pro
vided from the top of the house, and
not by underneath drafts.—South
Carolina Miller.
Sell Eggs by Weight.
Several months ago this paper pub
lished a short story in which the
suggestion was made that eggs should
be sold by the pound instead of by
the dozen. The idea was original
with the editor of this department,
and it has been adopted by quite a
number of papers in different parts
of the country. Drovers Telegram
is one of the papers to indorse the
idea recently and it says:
Sooner or later the custom of sell
ing eggs by the pound instead of by
the dozen is bound to become gen
eral. It is in force now in a good
many places. It is a fact that the
sizes of eggs differ very much, and
on that account there is an injustice
done the consumer who buys them
by the dozen. In a good many places

Your attention is called to the territory traversed by the
Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic Railroad
No section of the South offers better opportunities. Lands are low in
price, very fertile ani adaptable to the widest range of crops. The A., B.
& A. traverses the most productive section of Alabama and Georgia, run
ning from the coal and iron districts of Alabama to the sea. The devel
opment of this territory thus far has been phenomenal, and seekers of
homes, farms and locations for manufacturing plants will do well to
communicate early with the undersigned.

in the larger cities, dealers are mak
ing special low offers to customers
on fresh eggs. These prices are so
low that they attract buyers, who on
receiving the eggs find them to be
very small. The small Leghorn hens
lay small eggs, while the large Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds
and other breeds of large sized chick
ens produce larger sized eggs. New
York City recently passed an ordin
ance requiring the sale of eggs by
the pound. But Denver, Col., seems
to have the lead on selling eggs by
the pound, as vegetables and eggs
have been sold thus in that city for
thirty years. Should the rule be
generally adopted it would be a bene
fit generally to the country. Bantam
eggs, and all kinds of small eggs,
strictly fresh, would then find a ready
sale. —Citizen-Star, Fort Worth, Tex.

that not an unusual one. He made

the results mentioned. He converted
most of the meat, which weighed 393
pounds, into sausage.
