COOPERATION PAYS.
Some Reasons why Fruit Growers
should Work Together.

SsO"'N ssOh0 hVHNshN.s
One Of the difficulties in modern
American farming is that spirit OF in
dependence which is so largely devel.
opcd in all classes of American citizens.
1t is most common Of all among farm.
ers, whose policy too often reminds us
OF the celebrated OK team, in which
each animal wanted to be on the "off
side" This is often seen in farmers
organizations, especially where farmers
are remote from each other, and only
come together infrequently. Undoubt.
eddy the cooperative and other features
OF the grange have donem to dispel
this feeling. But it still exists to far
ton great an extent. Each farmer dis.
likes partnerships, and prefers to work
what land he can buy or rent without
aid from others except as he can hire
and pay for it.
Yet in all other vocations the greatest
successes are made by combinations OF
capital. Why should there not be, to
limited extent at least, such coopera-
ton among farmers. There was when
the country was new, and the scarcity
of capital made it possible for one man
to put up the houses and barns that
each farm required. Cooperation in
such work seemed to be necessity.
Yet just so soon as each farmer could,
he set himself to work to become inde-
pendent of all his neighbors. 1t is in
fruit growing that this need for coop
Grafton is greatest. Insects and fungous
diseases of fruits and leaves require
OF no use for one man in any locality
| to destroy these on his own farm, while
the whole neighborhood is left for the
enemy to increase in until it cannot be
suppressed. 1t has been by voluntary
cooperation that the fruit growers OF
western Michigan have for many years
kept their orchards free from the pests
that prove so troublesome east. The
black knot in the plum and the cur.
culio and codling moth among insects
we're thus fought against. 1t has proven
far easier to keep these enemies out
than to suppress them after they had
gained foothold.
In one way all the fruit growers in
any locality help each other, whether
they wish to do so or not. Altogether
their united production creates mar.
ket, and attracts buyers who would not
come were single fruit grower to offer
his products for their inspection. Sc
far from being an injury to his bust
ness, the rivals that most fruit growers
have are help to them. Neither are
fruit growers injured by the dissemina.
ton of the knowledge needed to secure
greater perfection of fruit. If all fruit
were brought to the highest degree Of
perfection, much more would be eaten
and the price of all fruit would be high.
er. There is far too much poor fruit
offered for sale. 1t is this which most
keeps down the price of good fruit
The general spread of intelligence as to
the means for growing the best fruit
is therefore the interest of all fruit
growers.-American Cultivator.

AN OSTRICH AND AHor POTATO.
IN Amusing story of Greed and How
IL Was Finished

IL Was Punished.
For odd appetites the goat and the
ostrich stand supreme, with the ostrich
Just step ahead. And yet an ostrich
Hnds trouble in swallowing hot pota-
to. a South African writer tells an
amusing storyof greed and how 1t was
punished. He says:
These ostriches were a source OF
endless trouble to us. They grew rap
idly and developed great kicking pow
ers, until they became positively dam
gerons, the dogs and the Kaffirs coming
in for most of their attentions. Their
appetite was Unsuitable. We used to
make large quantities of biltong, orsu
dried meat, and there were usually
dozens of strips of it hanging on rheims
slung from wagon to wagon, and these
were always objects Of attention on the
part of the ostriches.
ut was most amusing to see one try
ing to swallow strip aiynrd long and
two inches thick, just as a chickenstrug-
giles with worm that is little too big
for it. Once. we had to drag huge
strip out ofione of the birds throats to
save it from choking.
"But 1t was the culinary department
that interested them most. They would
always attack the Kaffirs bringing the
viands from the kitchen to the tent,
and sometimes were SO pertinacious
that the boys would get frightened and
throw the dish away and bolt, and we
would, lose the best part of our dinner.
They would even come into the tent
and snatch things off the table. and we
would take 1t out of them by smother
inga dainty morsel with salt and cay
enne pepper, but after awhile they
seemed to flourish on it. "a,
Zone day, however, we got the laugh
on our side. Dinner was preparing and
one of the birds was investigating the
pots around the fire. A great pot of
huge potatoes took his fancy, and he
incontinently seized and swallowed a
red hot tuber as big as large pome-
granate.
lie danced, he jumped, he kicked, he
twisted his neck about almost into
knots, he tapped his wings and wag-
gled his tail, he ran amuck, knocking
things down and banging himself uT
against the wagons and stone walls, and
at last tore away into the weld at 20 miles
an hour until he was out of sight, and
did not appear again for a couple Of
hours.
Every morning soon after sunrise
these birds would indulge in dance
They would rush away into the weld fol
about a mile, and then suddenly stoT
and commence waltzing round ant
round in the most ridiculous fashion
often till they dropped. l never coult
understand the meaning of this per
Torrance. 1t might be mere gambol
ing, but II so it must be the only cast

young animals do."-Chicago News.

MILK CAN TROUGH.

This affords room for eight cans IL
inches in diameter and 16 inches,deep.
The trough is sunk in the ground In
front of the pump curb, in such a po'
sition that all waste water is dis
charged into it and out through an
opposite end, which aids in keeping
the water cool during the day. The
trough is emptied and refilled night
and morning. A neatly-fitting lid OF
the same material fits to the top and
on extra hot days several pieces of old
carpet are thrown over the lid. To
make 1t water tight two rods are
fastened through each end and the nuts
drawn up moderately tight. Before
joining the edges together they should
be daubed with white lead to more
closely close up all the crevices.-Farm

Trimming Up the Helfer.

Train up heifer in the way she
should go, and when she becomes COW
she will not depart from it. With her
first calf, the young COW should be
kept in milk as long as possible, because
that is what she is wanted to do all OF
her productive life. If she dries up
early, the next year the habit will make
an effort to repeat itself, and the next
also, and also the next, and so on. BY
careful feeding and encouraging treat
ment persuade the inexperienced heifer
to continue in milk as lorg as she will
agree to, and the next season have her,
by similar means, exceed her previous
record, until three or four weeks o,
drought is all she will demand.-Da

Creamerics and Good Roads.

The Mankato (Minn.) Free Press says
that the establishment of creameries
is becoming potent argument for good
roads. The daily trip to them with the
milk must be made regardless of mud
and wet OF IL the mud be ankle deep
for milk is perishable product. Then,
even when the road is dry, the milk, Of
course, is injured by the churning re-
ceived on the journey over the rough
roads. The farmer is, therefore, begin.

of road improvement. The Free Press
adds that the creamery is becoming the
focus at which better roads center.
