COOPERATIVE DEPARTMENT,
EDITED BY H. 2. YOUNG,
PIERSON,

In the last number OF the AGRICULTRIsT
MAY 8th) see as many ae two respon-
ses showing that the cooperative idea is
not entirely dormant in Florida. So
many at least recognize the fact in words,
that the cooperative system is the cor
rect one for Florida, both in her present
dilemma and her future success.
Mr.. Hill suggests that it include the
vegetable business also. The application
of this idea and perhaps dozen others
will come in the regular order of business
when we get the organization in work
ing order.
We fully recognize the Importance of
thorough and correct working plans be-
fore action.
But to do the wind-work is one thing.
and to do the work is another thing
Cooperation means action, simulta-
neous, and united for general purpose.
having in view the greatest good to the
greatest number. Now the Importance
of the wind-work cannot be ignored, but
prompt and energetic action must not be
forgotten when the time comes to act.
What we mean by action, is to get, say
about half of the State organized prima-
rily, and then proceed to organize the
State association. This would give the
movement prestige, which would move it
steadily forward until it would carry all
before it. Now we want every body to
think about this thing, talk about it,
write about it. Say every thing for it
you can, and every thing against it you
can. The man who finds reasonable OBJ
jections is as much co-worker, and per-
haps he is working to better purpose
than he who sings it's praise.
This brings us to what we most wished
to bring to the front in this paper. 1t
was suggested by the remarks of neigh
Dor whom we approached the other day
on the subject of cooperation. He said
he believed in the theory and the eff
cheney of cooperation if it was possible
to get men to act upon it, but he had

Fancy Needle Work.

Many ladies manage to accomplish
great deal of pretty and useful fancy work
during the long summer days of visiting
and comparative leisure To be agree
able in warm weather such work must be
with light material and small enough to
be readily taken up or laid aside.
For this purpose embroidery or drawn
work in linen is the favorite. One can
make with it a variety of pretty things,
including carving and tea cloths, doilies,
summer mantle scarfs, bureau covers,
chair backs, etc. White linen, fringed
out furnished with border of drawn
work and stamped and worked in bright
colored embroidery silk and silver and
gilt thread, gives very rich and elegant
effects. This is an excellent time in which
to renew ones supply of washstand
splashers and mats, for nothing is pleas
anter to work on than the dotted null
or Swiss that makes the very daintiest of
toilet sets. Choose null with rather
large dots, that are far apart, and en-
broider it with daisies. Work each dot
over in satin stitch, with yellow and
gold silk for the center of the daisy, and
make the petals of white; or let the CEN
ter be brown and the petals yellow. A
full set of this kind, including all the
pieces necessary for bureau and wash
stand, and lined with sateen in delicate
shade of pink, yellow, blue or green, is
very pretty on the enameled wood bed
room furniture now so popular.
White bedspreads and counterpanes
have been considered passe for some
time. Pretty bed-covers are made of
lace and dotted muslin, and madras lined
with colored silesia. Madras can now be
had in lovely tints and designs. In a
creamy white, about ffty-four inches
wide, it can now be had at forty cents a
yard. A delicate rose color, same width,

given up all hope of ever realizing any
thing of the kind in Florida He said
the people of other States could do such
things and realize great benefit from it,

This neighbor is an orange grower, and
saw-mill man. Heillustrated his spOsition
by telling me that he had just been to
meeting of saw-mill men in Palatka for
the purpose offorming combination on
orange boxes. One proposal was to sell
only at certain price, and fine mem

had 10000 boxes cut at my mill, and
owed the bank $500 which must be paid
on certain day. Suppose a man came
along and offered me within half cent
of the price, l cannot sell and pay my
debt without losing $780,
The foregoing argument showed pos
sible dilemma which might occur with
the orange grower, since it has become
so fashionable for him to borrow money
and mortgage his grove for it's payment
with interest. Now suppose a man is
mortgaged, and from bad luck when his
interest becomes due he is not able to
pay it, right here might he put in an ar
gument in favor of the trust who would
buy oranges for future delivery. man
could sell futures enough to pay his debt,
and SO get along smoothly.
The force of the foregoing upon my
mind is that relief syndicate in connec-
ton with the Orange Growers Union
might be OF great benefit and entirely
practical. A syndicate of capitalists,
members of the union, might through the
union. buy futures offered by other men,

There is no good reason for this. Beyond

Don't Do 1t.

The man who goes about his bar.
with pipe or cigar is recommended to
take out an insurance policy at once
from one of the old line companies.
We recommend the old line companies,
in such case, for two reasons: First.
such carelessness should be made to
pay as high as possible for its fun. and
second, such n man ought not to inn
pose upon his neighbors who form the
basis of the farmers mutual COM
panies. We saw man not long ago
smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable. He said
he had done it for years and had not
had fire yet. 1t is possible
that man might smoke in a
powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but he would be a very
reckless man who should attempt it.
1t needs but a spark among hay or
straw to burn down a barn with the
probable loss of all there is in it.
Never do any thing which is likely to
cause fire. II fire in the barn does
occur, there is one thing that is well
to remember. Horses are frightened
tout of their wits" by fire. You can
not lead a horse from a burning barn
in the ordinary way. The best way is
to blindfold the animal This NAV be
done by throwing a coat or blanket
over the head. Western Rural
