"Bill, you young scamp, if you had
your due, you'd get good whipping" Il
know it, daddy; bills are not always paid
when they are dne." The agonized father
trembled lest his hopeful son should be
snatched from him.
Speak of a mans marble brow, and he
will glow with conscious pride; but allude
to his marble head, and he's mad in a
minute Language is slippery thing to
fool with much.
Great things are not accomplished By
idle dreams, but by years of patient study.
A smile on the face is worth two in a
tumbler.
Could a computation of wasted ener-
gies, time and means, ever be made in our
methods of farming it would be enough to
set every farmer to-day in an independent
position on his own estate. Think of the
average returns of the farmers through the
State.
A gentleman who recently travelled in
Europe, said that he was at a dinner one
day in Paris, and while telling story,
was attacked with a sudden and continued
sneezing. When he ceased a Russian
gentleman at another table turned about
and complimented him on his excellent
pronunciation of the Russian language.
One of the great advantages of drain
ing the soil is to insure the free access of
oxygen. A plant can not any more live
without oxygen than can an animal. Ok
ygen is one of the best fertilizers. for by its
action in the soil it prepares the minerals
for food for plants.

In addition to the amount of
breadstuffs raised in Great Britain
last year, there were imported into
the United Kingdom I39,025,3I3
bushels of wheat or its equivalent
in flour. Of this amount the United
States supplied 84,432,652 bushels.
The Canadas contributed about IO,-
100000 bushels, and south Russia
nearly as much, and other countries
smaller amounts. The United States
furnished about 90 per cent Of the
gross amount of wheat purchased by
the people of Great Britain, and
with these figures before them it is
no wonder that the farmers of that
country turn their thoughts to Anne
RIGA when disastrous seasons come
upon them. When we add to the
breadstuffs the cattle, beef, pork,
butter, cheese, lard, fruit, and other
articles of food sent abroad, we can
see that Europe is dependent upor
America for a supply of food, if
nothing else.

Corn Heal and Bran.

Mr.. ]. w. Sanburn, Superintend-
ent of College Farm, Hanover, New
Hampshire, reported experiments
in feeding cows, giving full details
of weights of each kind of feed, of
milk and butter yield, and the
weights of the animals at the be-
ginning and end of each period.
Ia summing up he says: "Meal
will make more milk than bran I
no longer hesitate to say. The
change in the butter product is re-
markable; in changing from meal
to bran there was a loss Of I7.7 per
per cent. in the butter producing
capacity of milk. In changing from
bran to meal there was gain in
the butter producing capacity of
milk 2I.S per cent. There is a sub
stantial agreement in the two
changes, for it is matter of expert
mental observation that good cow
will make a greater change in
change of food than poor cow"
Mr.. Sanbo"n found the tests with
the cream gauge under change of
food at varience with the actual
product of butter "The results in
weighing the cows form an eXcep-
ton to previous experiments, bran
and middlings keeping weight bet
ter than meal in this experiment.
Is it a chance result, or is it due to
we'll defined causes? | will not
discuss it, but observe that it was
not at the season of the year when
a cow needs a corbonaceous food
to maintain animal heat; also the
grass of our pastures was Drowned,
and in different condition from June
grass or properly cut hay"

operation.
Editor Patron. The Farmers
Cooperative Association of Caple-
vile, Shelby county, Tenn, was or
ganized under the auspices of Beth
Iehem Grange, and went into active
operation on the 3rd of November,
1919. No member had anything
more than vague idea of what CO
operation was. Still it was the pre-
vailing opinion that we could edu-
cate ourselves in the business; so
work was Immediately begun. A
constitution was adopted, similar in
most respects to that recommended
by the National Grange; a Manager
and Clerk were elected from our
own number, inexperienced but en-
loving the entire confidence Of the
members. The capital at common
chg was $I,I25; to this there was
subsequently, added $50 more, so
that N,I77 constituted the working
capital of the store. For the first :
months dividend of 10 per cent
was paid on purchases; only per
cent was paid the second quarter,
on account of the small sales in COM
parson to the expenses, but for the
third quarter II per cent was paid,
thus making the average dividend
Tor the three quarters Q per cent.
Early in the summer it was ascer-
tanned that some of the stockholders
would have to buy goods on time,
and IN order not to lose their trade,
several members together borrowed
$1,000, for which they gave a Joint
note, PAYABLE 8 months after date,
at b per cent interest. Members who
wished to buy on time could get
goods at cash prices with 10 per ct.
added to the face value of all bills
not cashed within 80 days after they
We're made. But even to these the
store proved an advantage, for they
leceNed a dividend of IL per cent
ioT the third quarter. In other
words they got their goods on time
al ? per cent less than regular cash
prices. Although this departure
proved to be an advantage in this
case still it is a course that we would
not recommend as being advisable
VI even practicable in every case.
10 any who may doubt the prac-
uCaolllty Of CO operation, we invite
"eir attention to the following fig

months inclusive between Nov. 2,
~ and Sept. 80, 80, goods to the
