Farmers* Educational and Co-Operative Union of America . Matters sf Especial Moment to L the Progressive Agriculturist The short road to wealth turns out to be the roughest. An empty wagon always makes great deal more noise than a full one. You would never know some men were Christians unless they told you SO. Here is to the man who speaks the best and thinks the least ill of his neighbor. The kind of farmer who occupies a tarm can most always be told by the ■class of poultry he keeps. Many a man who is fooling away his time In the literary field might "be useful in a potato field. Some men use so much energy blowing tlitir own horns that they cannot accomplish anything else. Men who are always yelling for a square deal sometimes forget to whis¬ per when the other fellow gets the worst of It. “Four flushing" may win for a lit¬ tle while but no man can win by It in the long run against honesty and square dealing. Almost anyone will give the other fellow a chance, hut it won’t do much good unless the other fellow gives himself a chance. The shovels, sweeps, bull-tongues and plow points should be sharpened. 5.®ok forward and have everything in readiness for the busy season. Just about the time a man gets It firmly fixed in his head that the farm cannot get along without him, the "boss makes up his mind to fire him. There Is always one man'at a barn •raising who runs around, spits on his hand, yells Instructions to everybody, cats more and does less work than any other man on the Job. Know him? Many a man shakes hands with himself and believes he Is successful •when he has become rich and yet he may be farther away from real suc¬ cess than any other man In his county. CREDIT i SYSTEM IN GERMANY Farmers Form Landschaften Associa¬ tions for Purpose of Securing Loans on Their Land. Responding to Inquiry, Counsel Gen -oral Robert P. Skinner of Hamburg furnishes the following Information concerning the I.andschaften associa¬ tions tn Germany; A number of farmers’ credit institu¬ tions exists in Germany, of which the most interesting, aB being most appli¬ cable to American conditions, are the Landschaften associations, which have perforate duseful work in Prussia since 1769. These co-operative organ¬ izations resemble, to some extent, the American building and loan associa¬ tions, with this distinctive difference, that whereas the American societies are composed of persons who deposit money for the purpose of obtaining a reasonable interest thereon and others who borrow such deposits, the German Lanscliaften associations are com¬ posed exclusively of borrowers, whose combined credit is made available practically to each constituent mem¬ ber. The I.andschaften organizations are societies of farmers, usually farmers of considerable Importance, whose mortgage bonds guaranteed by all ■members of the society, and which "being so guaranteed are readily salable upon favorable terms. The bonds are payable to bearer, and thus consti¬ tutes a form of collateral which can •command the money market as readi¬ ly as the great business corporations of the country. Members joining these associations are required to submit to an appraisal of their estates, and thereupon are en¬ titled to make mortgage loans for the ultimate repayment of which the so¬ ciety assumes responsibility up to one "half or two-thirds of the appraised value of the land. The association It¬ self pays interest as it comes due, and eventually pays the principal, reim¬ bursing itself from the borrowing member, together with such additional amounts as may be necessary^to meet the cost of administration and amorti xation. A description of the actual organlza tlon of the Landschafticher Kreditver band fur Provinz Schleswig-Holstein, with headquarters at Kiel, will Ulus trate the mechanism of these associa¬ tions as a class. It is empowered to acquire real property and issue mort gage bonds payable to the holder thereof. Only persons who own agri cultural or wooded lands can become members, and then only when their estates represent a certain earning power or a determined value. As no body Jqins the association unless In need of capital, the initiation fee Is calculated at a rate of one-tenth of one per cent of the amount to be bor rowed. Persons who acquire property encumbered with mortgages guaran teed by the association must become members thereof, and must assume all liabilities arising under the mortgage contract. Refusal to do so is followed by the cancellation of the mortgage it¬ self. Members who enter the associa Cion by reason of the acquisition of ■encumbered lands pay no Initiation fee. MAlbers who have discharged all their obligations to the association may resign. FARMERS ARE BUSINESS 80 Declares President Barrett In vention at Charlotte, N. C .— To Secure Legislation. The national convention of Farmers’ Educational and tive Union of America was held Charlotte, N. C., the other day with thousand delegates, representing most every state In the Union, in tendance. Addresses by different members the union on subjects interesting the statesmen of agriculture followed the opening preliminaries. In his annual address, President C. S. Barrett spoke first of the farmer as a business man. Here and there, he declared, the Individual fanner has much to learn concerning and business usages. But the impor¬ tant point Is that the leaven is at work and the man who tills the soil and the country Is absorbing with miraculous rapidity the lesson that business principles must be foremost In the management of his affairs. The change Is epochal in a revolutionary sense. "In every state I have invaded,” he continued, “the farmer debates today, not so much the everlasting round of politics or the cruelly selfish ambi¬ tions of politicians, but how to make his acres return the maximum of dol¬ lars; how to make his best own op¬ portunities; how to furnish the best opportunities to his sons and daugh¬ ters; how best to lighten his wife's toil; how best to make attractive, clean, healthful and permanent the home that shall shelter them all. “We have organized state unions in three states during the past year— California, Indiana and Virginia,” he continued. “Catch the significance’ of the national scope shown by .these three organizations. “As an evidence of the determina¬ tion of the organized farmer to punish Indifferent public servants and reward those who have shown their true col¬ ors and abided by them, it ia a well known fact that the Farmers’ union defeated several congressional candi¬ dates and a few senators in a few southern and western states. That is, moreover, merely the beginning of the organization’s fight to secure atten¬ tion to its demands from men in pub¬ lic life. “In a number of states where the Farmers' union has made Itself plain in asking proper legislation from legis¬ latures, it has gotten practically all it demanded. In other states, for In¬ stance, Arkansas and Alabama, It has never been turned down on a single one of its requests.” TO FINANCE COTTON CROP Galveston Bankers and Texas Farm¬ ers’ Union Agree on Plan for Moving Staple. Ry the terms of a new agreement which is being worked out between Galveston bankers and officials of Texas Farmers' union It is proposed for the bankers of Galveston to finance the entire crop of the coming year in both Texas and Oklahoma. Details of the new plan have not yet been made public, but It is learned that the matter has been under con¬ sideration for some time. By the new agreement Galveston bankers stand ready to take cotton from the farmers at the market price in consideration of which the farmers, it is understood, agree to ship direct to this city. As the cotton controlled by the union represents a large percentage of the output of the state, this would give Galveston control and domination of the state and Oklahoma cotton mar¬ kets. The plan In general is an enlarge¬ ment on a wider scope of the one en¬ tered Into between Galveston bankers and President D. J. Neil of the union two years ago, and which has proven to be very satisfactory to all parties. It is understood Galveston bankers stand ready with over $30,000,000 to back up the agreement. PURPOSES OF FARMERS’ UNION To secure equity, establish justice and apply the Golden Rule. To discourage the credit and mort¬ gage system. To assist our members In buying and selling. To educate the agricultural classes in scientific farming. To teach farmers the classification of crops, domestic economy, and the process of marketing. To systematize methods of pro duction and distribution. To eliminate gambling In farm products by boards of trade, cotton exchanges and other speculators. To bring farming up to the stand ard of other industrial and business enterprises, To secure and maintain profitable and uniform prices for cotton, grain, live stock, and other products of the farm, To strive for harmony and good will among all mankind, and brother ly love among ourselves, To garner the tears of the dis tressed, the blood of martyrs, the laugh of innocent childhood, the sweat of honest labor, and the virtue of a happy home as the brightest jewels known. Cauliflower. It is difficult to mature cauliflower in hot weather and it is usually a mistake to attempt It on a commer dal scale. Dry and hot weather gen erally causes the plants to break or to produce “buttons" instead of solid heads. Talking c Parrot and Cagi £ ,v $10 L .

There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every sub¬ ject, from removing grease from car¬ pets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time when a visiting Spin got up to make a few re¬ marks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time com¬ ing. "Think of the day,” she said, “when, having no husbands or chil¬ dren, you will be all alone.” There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the fam¬ ily wants waiting on. The sniffing and snorting increased In volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence In financial matters.and the joy of doing as she pleased. “But we must not take offense at what our sister has said,” one Spin remarked. “Let us show our good inten.ions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know.” This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet.—Atchison Globe. Illiterate Immigrants. Ellis Island records show that of 62,727 immigrants who arrived here In July 12,895, or about 25 per cent., are Illiterates. Illiteracy is no bar to an Immigrant so long as he appears phys¬ ically able to care for himself. Only 1,127 persons who sought to enter the country were barred at this port last month.—New York Press. Anticipated.

Which Brings Dally Enjoyment. A lady doctor writes ; “Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee. t “1 began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but be¬ cause coffee, which 1 dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me for busi¬ ness during the day. “On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always used ‘cream and no sugar,’ I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look—‘like a new sad¬ dle.’ “Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many ‘substitutes’ for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. “I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it in place of coffee, and receive benefit from Its use. I have gained weight, can sleep sound and am not nervous.” “There’s a Reason.” Read “The Road to Wellville” in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

[FEVER CATTLE Pest in Southern States Costs Government Much Money. Reason Why It Is Necessary to Keep All Animals Off Pasture Where Attempt Is Being Made to Eradicate Little Pest. (By PROF. E. C. COTTON, Tennessee.) The presence of the fever tick In the states south of the federal quar¬ antine line costs the agriculture of that region the enormous sum of $100,000,000 per year. In this day of modern agriculture and Increased in¬ telligence among the farmers this is too high a tax, even if It Is a volun¬ tary one, to pay for the privilege of harboring a nuisance. The fever tick and nearly all other ticks In their development pass through four states: Egg, seed tick, nymph and adult. The eggs are laid by the engorged adult tick. By seed tick is meant the little tick from hatching up to the first moult. By nymph Is meant the young tick between the first moult and the sec¬ ond moult. The term adult Is applied to the tick alter the second moult and in¬ cludes the so-called “yearling tick” and the fully engorged tick. The en¬ gorged tick lays from 1,500 to 4,000 eggs in from 9 to 55 days, depending upon the season of the year, requiring the longer period in cold weather and the shorter in summer. The six-legged seed ticks hatch from the eggs in from 26 to 29 days, again depending upon the tempera¬ ture. The seed ticks crawl upon grass, weeds and shrubs and await the com¬ ing of animals, from one day to sev¬ eral weeks. After getting on an animal the seed ticks feed seven to twelve days, when they shed their skin, emerging as eight-legged nymphs. The nymphs feed upon the host ani¬ mal five to ten days, then moult, emerging as adults. The adults mate and feed four to fourteen days, when they drop to the ground and lay eggs. The fever tick completes this cycle twice and in favorable seasons three times a year In Tennessee. They have been doing this as long as we have AAtO T/C tMK, Ait, *£At> 7£‘ * 8 s X I BNOOttO C9# t A rrCK MCO'Hi ^r. too l AT/HU IA rtc/r CfASta l»5 tii. tea lathto 5££D TtCM HATCH HHOTf TCGS Cycle of Tick. known anything of them and will con¬ tinue to do so indefinitely unless man steps In to break the cycle. In the Illustration is shown the length of the various stages in the life cycle of the seed ticks hatching from eggs laid by engorged ticks dropping from the host animal on April 15. After the ticks drop to the ground ten days will elapse before egg laying be¬ gins. The ticks will continue laying until May 28, or 33 days, the eggs will be¬ gin hatching on June 15, an Incuba¬ tion period of 60 days, and the seed ticks will not all be dead until Novem¬ ber 13, a period of four monthd and 19 days (141 days). This tells us why It is absolutely necessary to keep all horses, mules and cattle off a pasture in which an attempt is being made to starve out the ticks. Pastures from which live stock is removed for a sufficient time become free of ticks by a process of starva¬ tion, as the ticks cannot live to ma¬ turity if they are unable to get upon animals. The 'time required for all ticks to die after the stock has been removed from infested fields and pos¬ tures varies considerably, depending on climate, season and weather con¬ ditions. Experience has shown, how¬ ever, that the period from September 1 to July 1 is sufficient, and this ap¬ pears to be the most convenient time. Rules for Alfalfa. Dr. Beal, of the Michigan Experi¬ ment station, In an address not long ago, laid down the following ten rules as necessary to make a growth of alfalfa for a period of ten years or more: 1. Select land that is deeply drained. Swampy land or soils in which the hard pan comes very close to the surface will not make a proper place for alfalfa. 2. Prepare the land as for a crop of wheat. 3. If the soil Is not alkaline, apply air-slaked lime. 4. Sow about four pounds of good, clean seed to the acre at the time of corn planting, or else early in August, if the soil is moist then. 5. With alfalfa seed sow orchard grass or tall oat grass, about a peck each to the acre. Excellent results may also be obtained by adding two pounds of timothy seed. 6. Under no circum¬ stances should a so-called nurse crop he sown. 7. If nodules are not pro¬ duced on the roots, innoculate with soil containing them. 8. Clip young growth from one to three times. 9. Cut when few plants of alfalfa are first in bloom. 10. Leave a moder¬ ate growth In the fall as a mulch. Fighting Weeds. Fight the weeds in the strawberry fields. Conquering them this year means larger profits next year. GOOD PORTABLE HOGHOUSE Wisconsin Station Designs and Recom¬ mends A-Shaped Pen—Floor Is Suggested as Best. The Wisconsin station has designed and recommends an A-shaped hog house, a picture which is shown here¬ with. It is important to have the rafters cut the right length so that boards ten feet long cut in the middle will exactly fit for roof boards. The station recommneds that this house have a floor, as, without a floor the hogs Toot holes Into the dirt which fill with water even though the house be located on high, well drained la^.d. In dry times a dirt floor works up Into a dust bed. The following lumber Is necessary for the house just described: Nine pieces one Inch by twelve Inches six¬ teen feet long and 11 O. G. battens 16" feet long for roof; five pieces one Inch by 12 to 14 feet long for ends; Portable Hoghouse. one piece two inches by four Inches, ten feet long for ridge; two pieces two Inches by eight inches ten feet long for plates; seven pieces two inches by four inches 16 feet long for rafters and braces in frame; three pieces two Inches by six inches, eight feet long for runners; four pieces one Inch by twelve inches 16 feet long, rough, for flooring. MAKES GOOD WINTER FORAGE Stubble Grasses and Weeds Will Be Found Very Economical for All Kinds of Live Stock. Fox tall and ray weed and the grasses and clovers growing on this year’s wheat and rye stubbles if cut before the stems become hard and woody will make a very good winter forage for mules, young cattle and sheep. Cut when free from dew. When well wilted rake Into small win¬ drows the following morning and as soon as well cured haul under cover. Double the windrows, use the two horse sweep to haul the barracks, sprinkle every two-foot layer with a little salt. If ricked keep the middle full and well tramped, beat the sides down and top off with hay or straw. After rick settles, which will take sev¬ eral days, add a little more straw to the top, then wire down. The rick may smoke for a few days, but if the weeds were free from moisture when put in and it was well salted It will cure out nicely and make a very acceptable winter forage for all stock. Whether It is best to cut the second crop clover for hay or to let It grow for seed will depend upon the condition of the clover. If there is a thick stand of clover and the heads well filled out, let it stand for seed. On the other hand, if there is much grass growing among the clover It Is best to cut It for hay. Hay and grain of all kinds will be high this winter and It will be the part of wisdom to cut and cure all that is worth cutting so as to have an abundant supply to carry the stock through the winter. The wheat and oat stock should be put in the barn or securely ricked. ^General m M. Farm Notes Fly time adds no joys to dafry work. The production of swine requires little capital. It’s a mistake to put off dairy work for something else. There, is no animal on the farm that will add to it like sheep. Sheep are subject to few diseases and readily respond to treatment Live stock on the farm will turn unmarketable feeds Into money. Scrub stock Is more unprofitable when prices are high than when they are low. The pure-bred that does not meas¬ ure up to good breed standard Is to be shunned. Chickens are early risers and will thrive best if an early feed Is pro¬ vided for them. Confinement in a warm, dry house is much preferred to freedom on a stormy or wet day. Milk, sweet or sour, is good for all kinds of poultry. They can hardly have too much of it. Never was there a time at this sea¬ son when prospects pointed so strong¬ ly toward the necessity of the silo. Cow peas are about equal to clover as a dairy ration and are easily grown in the warmer parts of the country. Worms destroy a lot of young pigs. They render a lot of others unthrifty and unprofitable, and rob them of the growth they should make. Fat on the steer comes higher than growth, so we should know how to get the fat on his ribs while he is grow¬ ing at the smallest cost. If the male birds are so gallant at feeding tb a hens as to cheat them¬ selves, feed them by themselves—the vigor and health of the chicks depend largely on the condition of the male heading the flocks.

Points to Good Future. Seven poor children, four girls and three boys, all about ten years old, went to a nearby seashore resort, in charge of two women, for a day’s out¬ ing. The funds for the picnic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the outing "of their own accord, and ther remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is prob¬ ably the naughtiest boy in the neigh¬ borhood. But we think that when boys do little things like this they will come out all right.”—New York Tribune. For HEADACHE—Hick.’ CAPCDHIB Whether from Colds, Heat.
