h* iw rt When a Man is a Failure When he has no confidence in himself nor his fellow men. When he values success more than character and self-respect. When he does not try to make his work a little better each day. When he becomes so absorbed in his work that he cannot see that life is greater than work. When he lets a day go by without making some one happier and more comfortable. When he tries to rule others by bullying instead of by example. When he values wealth above health, self-respect and the good opinion of others. When he is so burdened by his business that he finds no time for rest and recreation. When he loves his own plans and interests more than humanity. When his friends like him for what he has more than for what he is. When he knows that he is in the wrong, but is afraid to admit it. When he envies others because they have more ability, talent or wealth than he has. When he does not care what happens to his neighbor or to his friend so long as he is prosperous: When he is so busy doing that he has no time for smiles and cheering words.

At the meetings and between the different meetings sixty three farm ers' names were secured with a total of four hundred and seven cows. As shares were ten dollars each and each share holder took but little over two shares on the average, the total amount was still below $1400, and as this is far be low the amount needed to build a creamery, the meeting broke up last Wednesday evening in Roseland without anything definite decided upon. At this meeting however it was decided to build the creamery midway or as near as possible be tween Prinsburg and Roseland. This will help those who try to further the movement as they will know where it will be situated. These meetings have brought out these facts: "Thatthe cow end of a co-operative movement", as Mr. Sorenson told us at one of our meet ings should receive some notice. There are a few that show a lack of interest in a creamery and if we follow those home we will find as a rule a lack of interest in the cow. We know we must have cows to keep up our farms and so we keep them, graze them on a worn out shadeless pasture that should have been rotated long ago, and in winter we send them out to graze in the picked corn fields with the soicy breezes blowing all the way from Ceylons' Isle across Ad. Peary's discovery. But those as a rule who showed an active interest in the movement tend to their cows in a different method than the first named, and their cream bill or check shows a difference also even under the pre- Keal Estate Transfers.

These conditions must change. If we must have cows let us take care of them breed them to a sire of good milk strain and use a tester so we can keep the heifer calves from the best milkers. Let us as neighbors co-operate to secure this end. One farmer cannot for a few cows buy a good sire, but if a few get to gether this is comparatively easy. Let us get more in touch with each other this coming summer on this topic and remember Mr. Soren son when he said "I would like to have a man show me how a co operative creamery can be a failure if you all bring your milk or cream and in a first class condition neighbors bringing it alternately and abiding by the majority when it comes to a vote," and he was right. I think a successful co-opera tive creamery is more assured now than ever, for this reason that we have not set organized, and when we organize let us have enough cows of the kind that will help to keep a butter-maker busy all day, thereby reducing cost of running per pound of butter. While cultivating corn this coming sum mer let us also keep on cultivating this co-operative—the word means to act together—spirit and we will find that by another winter we will be better able to further this movement and more capable of running a creamery when once started, the cow end remembered in the mean time. Get ourselves posted on what other neighborhoods are doing in this direction and when meetings are again held may be more will be accomplished. :s* By a former Secretary. sec. 28 lots 2 and 3, ne of nei, swi of nei. nei of swi, part of lot 1, sec. 33, 466.50 a., $1.00.
