CO-OPERATIVE'PRINCIPLES MUST
BE FOLLOWED IN ORGANIZATION
I jr : mttm-'- -Maw-: vm
.A Creamery Which Gathers the Milk or Cream of Many Producers, to
Manufacture Into Uniform High-Grade Dairy Products, Is One of the
Best Examples of Successful Co-operation.
;Prepard by the United States Depart
I . ment of Agriculture. '
Specialists in the United States De
partment of Agriculture urge con
stantly the establishing of uniform
Ktiiiiflnrds for farm products, and de
liire that if these standards are
maintained, once tbey have been
..adopted, the confidence of the public
will he established, and the success
of co-operative marketing more gen
erally assured. Too many organiza
.tionsi are brought Into being as a re
sulr of enthusiasm created by appeals
to prejudice and by misconception.
The proper foundation is through a
well-recognized need for an organiza
.1 ion. ' ,
"Co-operative principles," said a co
operntive specialist of the bureau of
, innrkets, "must be adhered to In the
organization and pperation of farm
ers' marketing associations. The
farmers themselves cannot be expect
ed to have a vital interest in a mar
keting organization i operated for the
profit of ana controlled by a few per
sons. Such an organization should be
. operated, of course, to effeet savings
and to render service and not to earn
profits fordlstributlon as dividends on
money invested. A fair rate of Inter-
- est Is granted to the capital invested
by the members, and the remainder
- ot any surplus to be distributed should
be divided In accordance with patron
age, that is, the amount of business
transacted with the organization.
Loyalty Is Essential.
"The membership should be open to
producers only who desire to avail
v ' themselves of its facilities, and there
should be safeguards to prevent the
ownership and control of the enter
prise from falling into the hands of a
I'eW persons. The success of the'en
itre effort depends upon the loyalty of
the members and their Interest !n the
organization, the high standards ihey
, maintain, and their distinct under
standing that as a business associa
tion it should be managed by a man
or men able to earn a dignified com
pensation. Disloyalty has caused the
. failure of more than one co-operative
organization, and it Is a weakness
which can be remedied only by the
members themselves.
'"The manager, of course. Is the
teystone supporting the business. The
salary offered him should attract, high-
, ..lass ability as in any business look
ing to success, and he should have au
thority to support his work. An en
tire business can be ruined by an in
competent mannger at Its head.
"A co-operative marketing Associa
tion may be likened to a typewriter,
which is a very efficient machine, but
useless until you have some one com
petent to operate it. The success of
co-operative marketing depends, al
jnost entirely upon obtaining a suffi

Steady Growth Tends to Success.
Men who have traveled in every
part of the United States observing
the work of co-operative organizations
of various kinds, believe that the suc
cess of widespread co-operative mar
keting may be endangered through a
poorly conceived hope or expectation
that a hard and fast organization of
producers will- make it possible to sell
anything and everything at a prede
termined price without regard to qual
ity or 'conditions. This Is a dangerous
attitude to assume.
Men who have given close attention
to the subject declare that there is a
widespread feeling that It is possible
to revolutionize completely the entire
system of marketing and attain suc
cess from the outset.. This, of course.
is impossible because It is necessarv
to build upon a solid foundation and
to work out the many problems in
volved carefully. Steady, substantial
and healthy growth tends to perma
nency and success.
No one should believe that because
be is a member of a certain co-opera
tive association, unusual prices are as
sured.
TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
If Cow Does Not Receive Abundance
of Palatable Feed, Weak, Puny
Calf Results.
Poorly nourished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding of the calf, there.
fore, begins before it is born. The food
olemeLts necessary for the develop
ment o the calf are taken into the
stomach of the cow, digested, asslmi
lated and transmitted to the calf
through the umbilical cord, the con
nection between the mother and the
calf. It Is evident that If the cow
does not receive food enough to keep
herself In thrifty condition and at the
same time develop her calf, say spe
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, both she and the
calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properly
feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows
should have an abundance of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed in order to
insure' good body flesh and healthy,
thrifty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed,
strong and sturdy, and ready to re
spond normally to proper feed and
care.
POULTRY AND DAIRY PROFITS
One of Very Best Ways Farmer Can
Dispose of Surplus Milk .Is to
Feed It to Fowls.
The dairyman (or the farmer who
runs a small dairy in connection with
his farm) Is in an enviable position
to make the biggest proportionate
profits from a flock of poultry. One
reason for this is that the best food
as milk producers are also excellent
egg producers. For instance, clover
alfalfa, middlings, rye. etc.. are all
palatable and beneficial to cows and
cmcks alike ana so Is an occasional
mess of finely chopped silage.
Furthermore, the cows furnish oni
of the best of foods for laying hens
for milk is a valuable egg food in am
form. One of the very best ways any
farmer can dispose of surplus milk
with profit Is to feed it to the hens
or to growing young stock. It fur
nlshes just the materials needed
for improving growth of eggs--and does
it in a palatable, easily digested form
hence It is an exceedingly valuable
product as an adjunct to the grain
ration, which often lacks essentia
elements.
Decrease in Horses.
Before the days of the automobile,
Philadelphia had 75,000 head of horses
The present number Is approximately
4,uuu. stables have decreased front
H.000 to 3,208.
Good Houses for Poultry.
It is not necessary to build exDen
sive poultry houses, but they should
be serviceable, fairly roomy, well light
ed, and well ventilated without drafts
Valuable Asset to Farmer.
A1 reputation for honest weight and
a uniform, high-grade product Is Just
as valuable to the" fanner as to the
manufacturer.
Cause of Soft Shells.
Soft-shelled eggs are usually thf
suit of un over-fat condition of
re
ttio
layers, a lack ' of lime in the fe
ed.
forced feeding for eggs or a comb
tion of these causes.
Take Care of Brood Sow.
If you wish your sow to farrow a
good litter, do not house her In a closed
pen ; give her a chance to get plenty
of exercise, let her do some rustling
for her food, but see that she get
such food as Is good for her.
Keep Record of Flock.
livery poultry ra.ser should keep a
record of Ms Hock. Inventory should
be made of the stock at least twice a
year and the flock should be charged
with the food given It and credited
with the production.

ment ot Agriculture.)
"Reforestation has not been taken
seriously by the average business
man in the United States," said Col.
Vt. B. Greeley, chief of the forest serv
ice. United States Depart ment of
Agriculture, before the National Asso
ciation of Wood Turners recently.
"Reforestation lias been looked upon
as a fad quite removed from the prac
tical interests of the manufacturer,
as something more concerned with
parks or shade trees or rose bushes.
World's Greatest Lumber Market.
"Chicago is the greatest lumber
market in the world. Since 1890 an
average of over 2,000,000.000 feet of
lumber has come Into Chicago every
year. In 1920 the figure was nearly
2,500,000,000 feet, 60 per cent of which
went into local construction and
manufacturing Industries. In 1900 the
average freight paid on lumber com
ing Into Chicago was less than $3 per
M feet. Since that time the local
sources of supply for this territory
have been . exhausted one after an
other. Lumber shipments have trav
ersed greater and greater distances,
and the average freight bill paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than $12 per M feet
1 "In other words, the increased trans
portation charge on lumber shipments
into Chicago, as a result of the exhaus
tion of the forest regions surrounding
it. represents a toll of $22,500,000 an
nually. And while this has happened
there have accumulated In the Cen
tral and Lake states nearly 23.0tXl.000
acres of logged-ofT forest land which
Is producing neither farm crops nor
timber; $22,500,000 is the yearly tax
which the wood-using industries and
home builders, supplied through Chica
go,' pay for the idleness of a large part
of the soil In the surrounding states
which should furnish the natural sup
ply for this district. This sum would
plant every year 1,500,000 acres of
land with forest trees.
"This illustration may be extended
to cover the four states of Illinois. In

and the consumption of lumber on

represent an invested capital of $700,
000,000 and enroll 260,000 skilled em
ployees. Rapidly Exhausting Timber Supplies.
"We are cutting our timber probably
four times as fast as timber is be
ing grown. It is useless to decry the
generous use which American indus
try has made of our forests. It lias
contributed powerfully to the indus
trial development and commercial su
premacy of the United States. The
forestry problem does not result from
the liberal use of our forests, but
from our failure to use our forest
growing bind. There is an ample
area of land in this country, which is
not tillable, to support all of our tim
ber requirements, nil of our wood
manufacturers, all of our home build
ing and agricultural use of lumber,

than at present. If that land can be
kept at work growing timler. Re
forestation has become a commercial
necessity, of the United States."
DEMAND FOR SMALL CAPONS
".ittle Matter of Education Make
Fowl of Lighter Breeds
. Quite Popular.
There is already a considerable de
mand for small mature capons. A lit
tle matter of education will make the
capon from the small variety,' when
fat and well finished, Just as popular
as the big heavy capon from the larger
breeds for the very good and simple
reason that the small family often
use a five or six-pound capon to bet
ter advantage than they can a ten or
twelve-pound one.
LET POTATOES LAY ON SOIL
If Exposed for an Hour or So After
Digging Skin Toughens and
Wards Off Decay.
It Is always advisable to allow the
potatoes to remain on the ground for
an hour or two after digging, as this
toilghens the skin against bruising
and decay resulting from handling. It
also loosens the dirt on them and re
moves some of the moisture from the
surface, so that their appearance and
keeping quality are improved.
Insures Success in Poultry.
Good feeding, good stock, no lice,
no carelessness, insure success to any
poultry keeper.
If Tools Could Talk.
S'obody ever heard a farm iool say
a word, and yet .every one of them
has Its story to tell of the character
of the man who owns It.
Excessive Fatness Bad.
Excessive fatness leads to a sus
pension of egg production and predis
posses to certain kinds of disease.

MORE AMERICAN FLAX
IS URGENTLY NEEDED
Supply From Russia Has Been
Greatly Curtailed.
Demand for Material for Manufacture
of Linens Continues as Strong as
Ever New Methods and Ma.
chines Investigated.
Prepared by the United Slates Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The upside-down condition of things
in Knssia bus produced many unlooked-for
results, but none more un
expected to the casual mind than its
effect upon the supply of flux fiber.
Before the World war Knssia pro
duced about SO' per cent of the flax
filler used in mukiug linens. This sup
ply was cut off, while the demand for
linens continues as strong as ever.
In the United States the normal
consumption of llax fiber by the spin
ning mills, before the war, was about
10,000 tons a year, most of which wns
imported. To produce this amount of
fiber about 60,000 acres is required.
To help in meeting the situation the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, through the office of fiber inves
tigations, is encouraging the produc
tion of flax fiber by experimenting
Threshing Flax at the Northern Great
Plains Station, Mandan, N. D.
with It In new localities, investigating
new methods and machines, and de
veloping improved strains of the fiber
flax which iare taller, yield more and
better fiber, and some of which are
resistant to disease anil lodging.
It has been shown that better flax
is produced from seed of selected
strains, than from iniDorted seed, such
as has been used in the past. Efforts
are being made, too, to increase the
seed of these selections for distribu
tion generally.
A special survey is being made this
season to determine the extent of dis
ease inlurv to which flax is subject.
and to procure definite information
needful in devising methods for com
bating such diseases.
About 6,000 acres of fiber flax was
grown in the United States in 1020,
but the relatively low price for fiber
bus resulted in a greatly reduced acre
age in 1021, estimated at 3.000 acres.
PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Many Breeders Follow Practice Some
Time Prior to Molting When
Quills Are Dry.
Many breeders of geese in tlie South,
and some In the Middle West arid the
North pluck the feathers from the live
geese at some time prior to molting.
Some pick every six weeks during the
summer, and early In the fall, while
others pick only once or twice a year,
either in the spring, or in both spring
and fall. Feathers are considered ripe
for picking when the qunis are dry
and do not contain blood. Both young
and old geese are plucked. The aver
age yearly production of feathers Is
about 1.1 pounds to the goose.
The practice of plucking live geese,
however, Is considered by many breed
ers to lie cruel and Injurious. Geese
should not be plucked during the
breeding season. A stocking usually
is placed over the, head of the goose,
and part of the soft feathers on the
breast, back and sides and abdomen
are pulled. Enough soft feathers to
support the wings always should be
left. Geese feathers are now bringing
about 75 cents a pound for pure white ;
GTi cents for average white ; and f5
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.
PROBLEM OF RUNNING WATER
North Carolina County Agent Induces
Farmer to Use Basin on Hill
side Instead of Tower.
The problem of having running wa
ter in the house, as well as on the
farm, is one which farmers every
where are struggling to meet. The
county agent of Cabarrus county. S.
C, employed by the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college, was able to per
suade one of his demonstrators to dig
out a basin on the side of a hill near
his house and line it with cement in
stead of building a fower. The eleva
tion was about 20 feet above the top
of his house, which gave sufficient
pressure. The outlay for placing wa
ter in both his and his brother's house
was $400. The basin holds about 2,
000 gallons and keeps the water at a
more uniform temperature than would
a tank in a tower, which would have
cost twice as much.
COWS FRESHENING IN FALL
It Means Maximum Production When
Prices for Dairy Products Are
at High Level.
Milk cows bred to freshen in the
fall mean maximum production when
butter, butterfat and milk prices are
better than they are in the summer. It
also transfers the big Job of milking,
handling the milk, and caring for the
calves to a time when the farmer is
least busy. Help is easier to obtain
during the fall and winter and more
time is available to devote to cows.
Cows freshening in the fall ran be fed
grain and made to prodiii-e better than
they do in summer.
Best Laying Hen.
It oflen bapiiens that the worst
looking hen is one of the best layers.
She takes better care of the egg bas
ket than she does of herself. In this
respect, a good hen resembles a good
dairy cow.
Give Pig Fair Chance.
On many farms in the country the
pig is compelled to stand abuses that
would exterminate any other allium'
Give the pig good clean quarters a
good nourishing food.

tians (vv. 1-7).
These twelve disciples had ' only
been taught the baptism of repent
ance as a preparation for the kingdom
of Cod. I'aul taught them to believe
In Christ, that i-s to receive Him as
the. One who had on the cross pro
vided redemption for them. When
they received Christ, Paul laid hands
upon them and they received the Holy
Spirit.
II. Paul Preaching in Ephesus
(vv. 8-10).
1. In the Jewish synagogue (v. S).
His message is characterized by: (1)
boldness. He realized that God had
sent Him and that His authority was
back of Him. (2) Reason. He rea
soned with them. God's message is
never sentimental nor arbitrary, but
In accord with the highest reason. (3)
Persuasion. It is not enough to come
boldly with a reasonable message; it
must be accompanied by persuasion.
(4) Concerning the kingdom of God.
He did not discourse on current
events, literature, or philosophy, but
upon the message of salvation through
Christ. '
2. In the schoolhouse ot Tyrannus
(vv. , 10). Paul's earnest preach
ing only hnrdened the Jews. When
they came out and spoke openly
against this way of salvation in
Christ, Paul separated the disciples
from them and retired to the school
house of Tyrannus.
III. God Working Miracles by Pau.
(vv. 11-16). ,
So wonderfully did he manifest HU
power that handkerchiefs and aprons
brought from Paul's body healed the
sick nnd cast out evil spirits from
those whose lives had been inad
wretched by them.
iV. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17
, 1. Fear fell upon all (v. 17). News
of the casting out of these evil spirits
created impressions favorable to
Christianity.
2. It brought to the front those who
professed l'aith in Christ while not
living right lives (v. 18). They be
lieved, but had not broken from sin.
Great blessing would come to the
church if some awakening could come
to those whose lives are la keeping
with their profession, and cause them
to openly confess and make a new
stare
3. Gave up the practice of black
arts (v. 19). This means forms ot
Jugglery by use of charms and magi'
cal words. All such are in opposi
tion to the will of God; therefore no
one can have fellowship with God and
practice them. They proved the gen
uineness of their actions by publicly
burning their books. Though this
was an expensive thing valued at
about $12,500 they did not try to sell
the books and get their money back.
When you find you have been In a
wrong business, make a clean sweep
of things; burn up your books on
Spiritualism, Christian Science, etc.;
empty your whisky and, .beer into the
sewer, and have a tobacco party sim
ilar to the Boston tea party.
4. Uproar of the Silversmiths at
Ephesus (vv. 23-41). (1) The occa-
sion (vv. 23, 24). This was the pow
er of the gospel in destroying the
infamous business of Demetrius and
his fellows. It was clear to them that
idolatry was tottering before the pow
er of the gospel. They were not in
terested particularly in the matter
from a religious standpoint, but be
cause it was undermining the princi
pal business of tfce city. (2) The
method . (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a
leading business man, whose business
was the stay. of others of a similar
nature, culled a meeting and stated
that much people had turned from
idolatry and that the market for their
wares was materially weakening. He
appealed to bis fellow (a) on the
ground of business, saying "This, our
craft, is in danger of being . set at
naught," (v. 27). (b) On the ground
of religious prejudice. He said "The
temple of the great goddess Diana
should be despised" (v. 27). He he
came quite religious when he paw that
his business was being interfered
with. His speech gained his end; the
whole crowd was enraged and yelled
in unison, "Great is Diana of the
Ephesiana." The mob wag quieted by
the tact and good Judgment of the
town clerk: first, he reproved them
for yelling for two hours to prove a
point which everybody admitted fw,
25, 26) ; second, he showed that Panl
and his company were not guilty of
any criminal act (w. 27-39) ; third, he
showed that the people were In danger
of being called to account for this riot,

"YOU ARE VERY WELCOME."
"We're going to have a dance," said
the Mountain Fairies to Lady Gray
Cloud, "and so we would like to ask
a favor of you. .
"We would be glad if you didn't go
to have dinner with the King of the
Clouds and his family until a little
later this afternoon.
"We're sure he wouldn't mind dining
a little bit later this evening."
"I'll gladly do as you ask," said Lady
Gray Cloud, "if you will let me watch
your party. I will not speak to the
King of the Clouds, so you needn't
worry. There will be no rain until
your party is over. I will see to that."
"Oh. thank you, tluink you," said
the Mountain Fairies.
"You are very welcome," said Lady
Gray Cloud.
"It is so lovely up here." said the
Mountain Fairies. "Down below it is
so much later iu the season than it
is up here. Flowers are beginning to
look like autumn down there and up
here it still looks so summery."
"That is always the way it is up
here," said Lady Gray Cloud. "The
Mountain King likes to have things
later up here. The whole reason is
that he is so fond of the Seasons that
he can't bear to let them go and so
,he begs them to tay and stay, and

"But, of course, you know all that,'
said Lady Gray Cloud after a mo

"Yes, . we know that," said the
Mountain Fairies, "but we have been
visiting our relatives, the Woodland
Fairies, who live down at the foot of
the mountain, and so we notice the
change. Of course, there is a differ

they simply cannot refuse him.
"When we were down in the woods,
we saw some lovely plants with pur

which was shown to the world.
"Then, too, we saw some ferns
which said their relatives lived in an
apartment, for some 'little girl had
told them she had seen some of their
relatives, but then she told them that
these fern relatives were very well
treated.
""She said that they were put out
on the fire escape every rainy day and
that they did enjoy the change from
the hot apartment.
"The little girl also said that she
was so happy now that she didn'
have to pay any attention to her
teacher's watch. .
"She said her teacher's--watch was
always absolutely right, and when she
thought she was only a few minutes
late, her 'teacher's watch showed that
she was later, for no one could make
that watch change from doing right
and keeping right oh time !

curative value almost sells itself, as like
en endless chaia system the remedy is
recommended" by those who have been
benefited, to those "who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
Example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
tlmost every ease it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy haa so large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,

come to her waist, and she was proud
of it. The family tried to get her
to have It bobbed, but she stubbornly
refused. One night Aunt Nora'u

pened to posess a great charm for
Uuth, arrived. Auntie, thinking that
he might be able to persuade her on
this occasion, secretly informed him
of the affair, and then when Ruth
came into the room mentioned the
fact that she wished her niece to have
her' hair bobbed. He took the cue,
and immediately told of how thick it
made hair to have it bobbed. Ruth
listened a minute and then looked at
auntie's mass of pinned-on curls.
"Well, auntie," she said sweetly,
"which one of us shall try It out
first?" Indianapolis News.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
Impossible to Get Light From Wax
Candle Without the Presence of

A wax candle really is a gas torch..
You will find that when you apply h

It will not light readily. You have t
hold the ructch to the wick until th
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough to turn It into gases which,
on mixing with the oxygen in tlie air.
produce the fire In the form of light.
The candle will continue ' to l
lighted nd to burn as long as tm
wax continues hot enough to give off
the gases or until the candle Is en
tirely consumed. Any Interruption to
this process of transforming the wax
Into gas will result in the extinguish
ing of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the flame Is that,
the gases which feed the flame itt
the end of the wick are blown away
