“Many years ago I had a terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
bat it grew so repugnant to me that I
bad to give it up. Then I tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds

tion gave me great pain.
"It was not until I began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that

Farmers’ Educational
~nj and Co-Operative
Union of America
Matters <f Especial Moment to
the Progressive Agriculturist
Corn is one of nature’s choicest
bounties.
Farm machinery is often sadly neg¬
lected when not in use.
The ultimate consumer seems to be
a helplesB sort of critter.
A greater calamity than the failure
of corn could hardly be imagined.
It's better to be judged by your ap¬
pearance than by your disappearance.
Some people ask you to do them a
favor as if they were doing it to you.
A man can learn a good deal about
women by pretending to be indiffer¬
ent.
One of the worst instruments of
torture to the horse is the tight check
rein.
Most people imagine they would
rather be miserably rich than happily
poor.
The Farmers’ Union la a co-opera¬
tive as well as an educational insti¬
tution.
When people can afford to do a
thing it takes most of the pleasure
out of it.
Reputation is what enables you to
get along in this world when you
haven’t any character.
A lot of city people would give half
their fortune for the corn husker’s
appetite and digestion.
Perhaps nothing worries a woman
more than to have something to tell
and no one to tell it to.
Have you ever noticed that the ex¬
pected doesn't always happen, even
when you feel It in your bones?
When a person oan’f find several
good reasons to be thankful, his inner
works need the attention of a liver
specialist.
Happiness in marriage would be
more prevalent if a man would handle
his wife as tenderly as he does his old
briar pipe.
A farm life that doesn't include a
good education for the boys and girls
isn’t successful farming it's just run¬
ning a cattle or hog ranch.
DAKOTA FARMERS IN UNION
Buy Town Site of Voltaire, Erect
Their Own Building, Telephone
System and Elevators.
Co-operation seems to be con¬
tagious at Voltaire, N. D., A great
many co-operative enterprises have
been organized, and with profit to the
stockholders. The farmers own the
town site. The former owner, who
was a non-resident and cared only
for the money that he could get out
of the lots, put exorbitant prices on
his property. It was, however, taxed
at his own figures, so he was soon
ready to sell. The farmers organ¬
ized a stock company with T. E.
Tostenson as president and J. M. Col¬
ter as secretary, and bought him out.
Wanting a telephone they organ¬
ized a company with T. E. Tostenson
as president and J. M. Colter as sec¬
retary. Shares $25. No one can hold
more than two shares, which entitles
one to a phone, though each one must
pay his share of the running expenses.
They are renting phones to the people
in town; in time this income will pay
the running expenses.
The elevator men paid what they
pleased for grain so the farmers got
together and organized a stock com¬
pany with Fred Schmidt as presi¬
dent and S. I. Knutson as secretary.
Shares $25. No one can hold more
than eight shares. Last year a divl-
dent. of 20 per cent, was declared. And
in addition they had received a higher
price for their grain. The other ele¬
vators now pay one to two cents
above market price, yet they are able
to get but little grain.
Not wanting to swell the coffers of
the Insurance companies they organ¬
ized the ^Farmers' Mutual company:
President, Fred Schmidt; secretary,
S. I. Knutsdn. The assessments were
three mills 1909, two mills 1908, four
mills 1907, and one mill 1906.
Not having any place to meet they
organized a stock company with R.
H. Soelle as president and H. G. Bun¬
dy as secretary. They wanted a
building 30 by 60, with a full base¬
ment. The contractors wanted $3,500.
The farmers thought that this was too
much so they hired- men to do the
work and superintended the work
themselves. They save $1,000 on the
building.
When they held a farmers’ Institute
recently they met in their own hall,
brought their families and a picnic
dinner. The basement contains a din-
ing room, kitchen, two cloak rooms
and coal room. Here the children play-
ed and had a good time while their
elders were entertained and instructed
no..
paired to the dining room. Meanwhile
the orchestra furnished music. They
all Stayed at. tho hall, no hanging
around grocery stores, pool rooms
and livery barns.
It will be interesting to know that
many of these farmers raised fine
crops of corn this year, It will also
be interesting to know that they
wanted such subjects discussed as
corn and clover growing, dairying,
silage and rotation of crops.
It will not. be easy to estimate the
Independence and sense of power that
ibis successful co-operating will de¬
velop in this community.
| FRUIT ASSOCIATION IN WEST
California Ranchers Who Were Dissat¬
isfied With Low Prices Form Or¬
ganization for Protection.
i The Western Slope Mutual Fruit
Growers' association seems to be in
line as a success. It is organized by
a number of Grand valley ranchers
who were dissatisfied with the low
prices received for some of their fruit,
says the Denver Field and Farm. It
now promises to reach over the entire
fruit country on the western slope.
The movement originated in an at¬
tempt by the orchardists to rid them¬
selves of the awful middlemen who
will hold a meeting of their own out
in Sacramento, California, to deter¬
mine in turn what they will do to the
fruit growers and so the merry war
goes on. The plan of the new mutual
association is that no,person who is not
raising fruit can hold stock and re¬
ceive dividends of the concern. The
ranchers claim that the profits from
their fruit is eaten up by dividends to
stockholders in the present shipping
associations who formerly owned or¬
chards and raised fruit, but who have
sold their land. Tire ranchers also
charge that the officers of the present
association are receiving too large sal¬
aries, $7,500 a year being paid to the
manager of the Grand Junction assoc¬
iation. Under the new system only
the men actually raising fruit can be
stockholders in the association and ;
then only on an acreage basis. One j
share will be issued for every acre :
bearing fruit. The plant of the Pal-
lsade peach association has been pur¬
chased by the new mutual company !
for $8,500 and negotiations are on for
the purchase of several dt the larger
associations so as to wind up their
little bail of yarn. The whole plan
thus far evolved In Colorado proves |
that A organization alone is not the only
thing necessary to fetch good prices
and we will have to try something
smarter. The trouble with most of
the shipping associations is that they
become top-heavy with expense and
this eats up the profits.
FORM A BREEDING SOCIETY
Michigan Co-Operative Organization
Was Started by House to House
Canvass by Agent.
W. F. Haven, field agent for the
Michigan Agricultural college, spoke
recently in New York on "Methods of
Organizing Co-operative Breeding as¬
sociations.” Mr. Raven explained
how he had gone from house to house
and Induced the farmers in certain
sections to bind themselves into a
legally organized association, agree¬
ing to use only purebred sires of a
certain breed.
About 120 cows are represented by
such an association, Three breeds
are bought, and the cows are divided
Into three sections and a bull placed
at the head of each, where he remains
for two years, when the bulls are
changed to other sections. In this way
the three bulls are used for six years,
and thus give the advantage of using
mature sires.
The speaker pointed out the advan¬
tages of all the farmers in a neigh¬
borhood keeping only one breed of
cattle by saying that cattle brought
higher prices where buyers could pick
up a carload in a small community.
The "joker” to Mr. Raven's plan
seemed to be that all cows going in¬
to such an association must be tuber¬
culin-tested by a state veterinarian,
and that the farmers must bind them¬
selves to buy only such tuberculin
tested cows. j
Why Stick to Cotton?
Why keep putting land in cotton
year after year until it will not make
more than one-third hale of cotton per
acre? Why not begin to rotate crops
this year? Cotton ought not to he
planted on the same land more than
one year out of three—certainly not
more than one year odt of two. Let
us plant more leguminous crops this
year and raise more ,poultry, hogs,
cattle, sheep and other stock to covert
the leguminous crops into meat and
manure.
Time to Plow,
Now is the time to plow. If the
land was not broken last fall, begin at
once to break the land about one inch j
deeper than it has ever been broken
before and to turn under all the vege¬
table matter, such as corn arid cot-
ton stalks, grass and trash, Don’t
burn off the grass or trash on the
land. Vegetable matter is the thing
most needed on the worn out cotton
lands (f the south aud it is a shame
to burn grass and trash on cultivated
land.

Dry Grain for Chicks.
The same dry grains that are fed
to young chicks will answer for tur¬
keys. They should not be overfed, for
they are very tender things for the
first month or six weeks, especially
are they susceptible to dampness.

Gives Excellent Results.
A mash diet made up solely of
meal mixed with warm milk was
to a pen of layers, mostly
with the following result: First,
remarkable increase in their egg yield;
second, an increase in their weight;
third, frequent and sudden deaths
from apoplexy.
These results were due to the

clusively the grave danger encoun-
tered i, y adopting such a system of
feeding
A meal mash in the morning and
whole or cracked corn at noon and
night brought, about the same results.
These experiments were tried dur-
!ng the sprlng m<m ths before the fowls
had access t0 yards or free range
.
Later in the season when on free
range the same rations were fed with
the same result, but attended with
fewer deaths.
lliere is danger in feeding the (lock
too highly, or, in other words, upon
food too rich in blood and fat-making
Ingredients.
The first shipment of leghorn fowls
to America from Leghorn, Italy, was
In the year 1834. The variety im
mediately became popular from Its
prolific laying and non-sitting quail
ties, holding the same place among
poultry that the Jersey holds among
cattle. Leghorns are excellent for-
agers, of lively, active, restless dispo
sttions and will pick up a good part of
their living, thriving best when al-
lowed a wide range.
VALUE OF POULTRY
Excellent for Corn on Account of
Large Percentage of Available
Nitrogen It Possesses.
Poultry manure has twice the value
of horse or cow manure. It is espe¬
cially valuable for corn soil, since It
possesses a large per cent, of availa¬
ble nitrogen, the element required in
greatest quantities. It is a good ma-
uure for hotbeds. But this manure
must not be applied to growing plants;
it will injure them. It must be
worked Into the soil before plant¬
ing.
If poultry manure can be obtained
In abundance it will be a temptatiop
to load It on a manure spreader and
haul it to the field. But nc- manure
spreader can handle it successfully
unless it Is mixed with coarse cow- or
horse manure. It is better to follow'
the old "armstrong” method—apply it
by shoveling from the ordinary wagon,
This gives you the advantage of con-
trolling the thickness of application,
The field should not be plowed very
deeply after the manure Is applied,
It would be much better to harrow it
in, but a shallow’ plowing is satisfac-
tory.
Many piles of hen manure are al-
lowed to go to waste on the farm be-
cause the results from its application
were not satisfactory. If applied ac-
cording to these instructions, bearing
lu mind that it is rich in nitrogen, the
increased production will be gratl-
tying,
Large flaked bran fs the best.
Millet seed contains considerable

Common field peas make an excel-

Meat scraps should be kept in a
cool place to avoid heating.
White middlings contain more nut.
riment than the brown kind.
It Is claimed that carrots Improve

Barley should be fed only occasion-
ally as It is a hard grain to digest
The two chief losses in setting hens
are lice and interference of other
hens.
Early hatching has been a great
factor in the production of winter-lay¬

It Is an easy matter to overfeed
fowls, and poultrymen should bear

In order to manufacture eggs it is

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING
“It is just a year ago that my sis-
ter came over here t.o us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as if she had sand in them,
Then we used ail of the home reme¬
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
