Farmers’ Educational T ~ \ and Co-Operative Union of America =3 . Matters °f Especial Moment to the Progressive Agriculturist A pessimist is one who, of two evils, chooses them both. Sometimes a half-pint of happiness will make a peck of trouble. The peculiarity of a crank is that he always thinks it’s his turn. Gossips have automobiles beaten a block when it comes to running people down. By the tim© you have acquired wis¬ dom everybody looks upon you as an old fool. An optimist Is one who would rather believe that everything is all right than know the truth. There are tew things ir^ life so com¬ fortable as old friends and old shoes. Do not be in haste to discard either. The man who allows things to go at loose enda is pretty certain ulti¬ mately to find his affairs sadly rav¬ eled. Co-operative action is by voluntary association. Trusts, broadly speaking, are the results of both forms of ac tion. Many have enjoyed the benefits de¬ rived from the work of tho Farmers’ Union without knowing from whence they came. Organization has become the watch¬ word of the century. The past his t ory of the race is largely a history of sometime? seems easier to strike to lift up; but give us tho man who always lends a helping hand, no matter what it costs. Take your chances with the man who is good to horses, cows and oth¬ er farm creatures. He will not fail you when the pinch comes. Where the greater part of the corn crop goes to market by way of the hog pen, a substantia! increase in the bank account is pretty sure to fol¬ low. Now for a breathing spell, harvest season was long, the weather capricious and the work strenuous. Take a day off, and do nothing just rest and putter. Give the machine a chance to cool its ings. START OF FREIGHT Cost of Hauling Ton of Farm Products to Market Over Country Roads Averages 25 Cents. The United States department agriculture stands ready to prove the farmer is heavily handicapped the two million miles of public of this country, of which only per cent, is improved. It ready to show that the cost of a ton of farm products to over country roads is upon the age 25 cents, says Birmingham Herald. On modern Improved the cost is but eight cents. On roads it is 32 cents, and on roads it varies from 33 to 64 cents. These figures are demonstrable, no farmer will dispute them, for know full well what the cost for roads is to them. Were the cost of the haul to railroad reduced to 12 cents a ton. it readily could be by improving public roads, the saving to the ers of the country would be just $250,000,000. “It seems easy,” says Washington Herald, “to write the ures $1,000,000 a day; that is amount of loss, or rather that is loss of gain the farmer would get .he had good roads. He would I $1,000,000 a day more for his than he does now. His bad roads ply a loss of about three dollars year for every man, woman and in the United States. If we can that $250,000,000 to the power of the farmer, it is not that we should hear so much hard times; there would be bound be a proportional increase in ity and our agricultural assets be very largely increased.” This estimate does not include increased value that would from good roads to farm lands. takes account simply of the expense which necessarily begins the farm. The cost of the haul to railroad is regulated by the of the public road, and the time is coming when the farmer will that he shall be considered money is being poured out like for railroads, waterways and the To Introduce Bokhara Sheep. The department of agriculture seriously considering the introduction into this country of Bokhara sheep, from which comes the fur called sian lamb.” All Astrakan fur is raised on territory tributary to the Caspian sea. The best fur is taken from the lamb when it is only four five day 3 old. The Bokhara sheep make good mutton. Good Farming. The best farmers are not all on best farms. Many a man has formed wonders on a poor ■^fiere are men who have good now- who started in debt, buildings, money, little credit and simplest kind of implements. LETTER ON COTTON BAGGING Mississippi Man Makes Interesting Argument in Favor of Agreement for Benefit of Farmers. Now that the season for ginning is coming, it is time for all parties who are interested in baling cottons to come to a perfect understanding about cotton bagging for the coming season. I have had a good many years’ ex¬ perience. but always at the mercy of the jute bagging manufacturers, as well as the mercantile companies, who were the distributers for the jute fac Vries, and I can truthfully say that when there was a big crop to gin the jute bagging always went up as high as 11 and 124& cents, writes D. N. Hearn of Madison, Miss., in Union Advocate. We had to pay their price even when the ginning competition was so sharp that the price of jute took all the profit, and with this con¬ dition of things existing, it looks to mo as if every ginner would be anx iwus to unite on cotton bagging, whether they are friendly to the union or not. Every farmer, whether union or nonunion, should demand that all bag¬ ging should be made of cotton. That would consume eight million pounds of cotton for a twelve million bale crop, and there are six or seven fac¬ tories that have promised to add nine pounds to the weight of every bale of cotton that we sell them with cotton bagging on it. That would compen sate for the difference in weight, and if all or nearly all cotton was wrapped in cotton, the 30-pounds tare would be taken off. Away back in the Alliance timesTne jute bagging went so high it was al¬ most prohibited and thousands of bales were wrapped in old gunny sacks, oat sacks and osenburg, and it was at this time that Odenheimer came to the farmer’s rescue and made a good cotton bagging which run the price of Jute bagging as low as four and five cents. Just think of the farm¬ ers having to wrap four-cent cotton in fourteen-cent bagging. Now, Mr. Oden¬ heimer is offering to furnish cotton bagging again, and 1 for one believe that cotton should be used for cotton as well as for corn and oat sacks. By doing this we would only be making use of our bad cotton. If we do any¬ thing to Increase the price of cotton and cotton goods, the cotton growers are the ones who are benefited, The wage earner is benefited, and that has a price lifting effect; in other words, increases the capacity to consume as we increase prices. To get back to the subject of cotton bagging, I hope that the farmers, ginners, in fact, everyone who really wants to do something to better the condition of cotton prices, and the country generally, will take up this bagging question and decide it, and stand by the decision we make, though the heavens fall. I had a fect understanding last year and the bagging for my own customers and arranged with Mr. Peet of Jack son to supply those of my community that ginned their cotton at station I do not think there was more than six or seven bales wrapped with cotton in this vicinity. There should be an arrangement made would be binding legally, that carries or fixes a penalty so that everyone who signs it would have to stand to the rack, fodder. I see that some say that the cotton bagging will not hold. Neither will jute bagging, the way ton is handled. As an evidence, just go to the compress where cotton is handled and see the condition of the bales wrapped in jute bagging and you will be convinced. Eradicate Bull Thisfie. Bull thistles, common In pastures, cannot always he killed by mowing. Mowing tends to prevent maturity seed. Cutting off the thistles Just be low the surface of the ground, two or three times a year, will eradicate them. Working the ground In rotation of grass, grain and corn is a very sure way of eradicating weeds. Garden in Orchard. Garden crops may be grown fully between the rows of all kinds young fruit trees. Peas and beans are particularly desirable for this pose because, being legumes, they en¬ rich the soil and actually aid in the growth of the trees. By a system of this kind the expense of orchard may be easily paid until the trees come into full bearing. Feeding Chickens. Noontime is the best time to feed chickens beets raw and vegetables turnips. such as bages, Grain should not be fed oftener than twice a day. Thousands of hens are killed every year by feeding too much wet foods and mashes. The greater portion of the feed should be dry. A Small Colt. There was born on the farm of H. P. Teckwar, near Allentown, Pa., a perfect colt that weighed only 15 pounds. It Is smaller than are av verage fox-terriers and is in perfect health. It is a registered Shetland. Mulching Celery. Try mulching your celery with fresh horse manure. Keep it away from the stalks for a few days at least. If pos¬ sible, apply water after mulching. This is an Ideal method of culture.

"Mistah Jenkins,” asked an old ne¬ gro of Atlanta of his employer, "would yo’ be so good, sah, as to ex¬ plain to me ’bout this wireless tele¬ graph business I hears 'em-artalking ’bout?” “Why, certainly, Henry,” responded the employer, “though I can do so only in a general way, as I myself know little of the subject. The thing con¬ sists in sending messages through the air instead of over wires.” "Yassah,” said Henry, "I knows 'bout dat; but, sah, what beats me is how dey fasten the air to the poles!"

Science and Cheese. A medierJ authority kindly assures us that as long as cheese isn’t de¬ cayed it will not affect the health of the consumer. This is a fact that we have suspected for a considerable time. But how is the ordinary cheese epicure to detect the difference—un¬ less he waits for results? There is cheese so thoroughly dis¬ guised in the costume and aroma decay that its proper standing on the sanitary testing table would puzzle a conjuror.

Floral, Ark.—"Until a month ago,” writes Mrs. Viola Baker, of this place, "I was in very bad health. I was so weak and nervous that I was unable to do my housework. I tried Cardui, according to directions, and now I am in good health and recommend your medicine to all my friends. I gave Cardui to three of my friends to try, and they all say it helped them.’’ Society and household cares make nervous, weak women, who suffer great pain and misery, much of which can be avoided by taking Cardui. Worry and overwork act on your nerves like rust on metal, and they simply go to pieces. You can't always make rusty metal bright again, and sometimes you can’t get your nerves straightened out again, so better be¬ gin before the trouble goes too deep. For half a century, Cardui has been used with benefit, by sick women, thousands of whom have written, tell¬ ing of the good results obtained. Doesn’t this mean something to you? Benefit by others’ experience. Car¬ dui will help you. Try it. Ask your druggist about Cardui. N.

PAGE FROM ANCIENT HISTORY Incident of Hannibal’s Career That Writers Appear to Have Overlooked. Hannibal and his staff were pacing merrily over the Alps on their faithful war elephants. Suddenly a man with a tin badge and chin whiskers rushed into the roadway and held up his hand. “You stop right, where you be!” he cried. “Why should 1 stop?" thun¬ dered the great Carthaginian as his mahout hooked the elephant's ear. “You're exceedin’ the speed limit,” re¬ plied the man with the star. “An’ I’m a duly appointed constable, by heck.” Hannibal was so overcome by this amusing holdup that he tossed a hag of gazoolians to the officer and laugh¬ ing hysterically rode away. Later on, however, his indignation uppercut his sense of humor, and he proceeded to slam the life out of the Roman con¬ suls and their picked veterans, forc¬ ing the fighting to the very gate of shuddering Rome.—Boston Traveler. NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT “My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doc¬ tors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuti cura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint¬ ment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Oint¬ ment I began to see signs of improve¬ ment, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected. Robert Wattam, 1148 Forty-eighth St, Chicago, Ill., Oct. 9, 1909.” The Explanation. Old Podkins lay back in his chair in calm content, and though his wife was quite near him he was happy, for she had not broken the silence for nearly five minutes. He had been married for flve-and twenty long years, and Mrs. Podkins, almost daily during 24 of them, had disturbed the domestic peace by a too full exercise of her tongue. “My dear,” broke in Mrs. P-, thinking it time she said something to interrupt the quiet, “I see by the pa¬ pers that a petrified jaw two yards long has been found in Cornwall.” “What!” cried Podkins, starting up. “Now I know your secret. But you never told me your ancestors came from that part of the world!” TO DRIVE AND OUT MALARIA___ lid LI) VP THE SYSTEM _ Taka the Old Standard OROVHH TASTK1.JBSS CHILL TONIC.

It was Anna’s first visit at the sea¬ side. She was only a little girl, and very enthusiastic over the long-looked for opportunity to go into the water. They came too late the previous day for a dip in the surf, so Anna was up early, and as she put on her bath¬ ing suit while the rest were at break¬ fast some one questioned her as to her haste. “Well, you see,” replied the thought¬ ful child, “I want to hurry and go In before so many people get In and get the water cold.” The Effects. “I have come to you, my friend, for comfort. My best girl has treated me very badly. I was trying to explain something to her, but she gave me such sharp looks they cut me to the heart; she withered me with her scorn, crushed me with her cold¬ ness and stabbed me with her keen edged tongue.” “See here, man, you oughtn’t to come to me for comfort; what you need is to go to a hospital for treat¬ ment."
