Plea for Organization.

There seems to be no good reason
why an organization among farmers
for mutual benefit should not be as
successful as similar organizations in
other lines. 1t is not intended that
such organization should increase the
cost of farm produce to the consumer.
for this is unnecessary. But there is
certainly room for plan which will
enable the producer to market his
crops at a price which will give him
a fair return for his labor.
The subject is too large to treat ex-
haustively in one item, for there are
many essential things to do to make
such an organization a success. The
idea Is worth serious consideration
but 1t must be based on business prin
ciples, the lack of which has caused
the failure of nearly every attempt at
organization among soil workers Here
are few of the things which must
be done to win success: Every mem
Der should bear proportion of the
expense In accordance with the pro-
portion of his crop to that of other
members. Crops Of unequal quality
should be marketed on their merits
In other words, the grower of infe-
rior fruit or any other crop, must not
expect to share equally with the man
whose shipment is of the first grade.
The manager should be selected with
care and then be given proper control.
If these few essentials seem too for
midable, work up to them by combin-
ing with one or two growers whose
crops are of the same quality as your
own and select good commission
man and all work together. A year
or two in this line will give you faith
in the larger organization plan.-In-

Turkeys Grow Fat ON Acorns.

A farmer from western Massachu-
sets writes that he has successfully
fattened turkeys on sweet acorns with
very little other food. The turkeys
would go to the oak groves in the
morning and stay there nearly all day,
and soon got themselves into fine mar
ket condition. AS soon as they are
well fattened, they should be sold OF,
as they show a tendency to go of con-
dition when the supply OF acorns be
gins to fail.

Window Washer RudeIy Aroused From

Frank Brandenburg, a window clean

ness for high attitudes, selected nov.
ell place to sleep as a result of a picnic
which he attended. Shortly before
noon several pedestrians and tenants
of office buildings in the nelghborhood
of the City Hall, who were watching
the progress of the clouds overhead,
caught sight of a mans arm and one
foot hanging over the window ledge Of
the eighteenth story of the American
Tract Society building at Nassau and
Spruce streets.
Closer investigation showed that the
owner of the arm and foot was evil
IDENTITY asleep on the ledge and was
supporting his head with his left hand
Spectators feared to shout or try to
arouse him by throwing anything in
his direction lest the shock of being
suddenly awakened might cause him
to roll off. The janitor of the build
ing was notified and a trip by elevator
was made to the eighteenth floor.
There it was found that Brandenburg
was reposing opposite office No. 1917,
which was vacant. The door of the
room was opened and the janitor, rush.
ing over to the window, seized the
man by the collar and one leg and hus-
lied him inside.

Ancestry of the Horse.

Professor Lydekker, in knowledge
and Scientific News, discusses. In
some detail, the origin of the modern
horse. He finds that the horse of neo-
lithic times was not specifically dis
tinct from the horse of the present.
While there Is no doubt that the horse
of that period was used by man for
food, there seems to be no conclusive
evidence as to whether 1t was domes-
ticated or not. His own opinion, how
ever, is that 1t was probably domest-
Gated. The horse of that time was
closely allied to the tarpan, or semi
wild horse, that lived In southern Rus
STA up to a century ago. This was a
"hog-maned," short-legged, large-head-
ed beast. 1t seems probable that the
domestcated horses of the Germans
OF Caesars time were derived from
this breed. The Egyptians had horses
as early as 1900 B. G. These were
long -maned, more like the Arab horses
and came from Assyria. Where the
Assyrians obtained them Is unknown,
but 1t was probably from southern
Asia, where this long-maned breed
has been developed. in all probability,
as the result of long-continued domes-
tication. Our modern horse Is cross
between these two breeds, with fur
Their mixture of the Arab horse. This
Arab horse, too, was itself descend
ant of the earlier long-maned horse.
The origin of the long named horse is
a matter OF doubt, but Professor Ly-
dekker thinks 1t may have been from
an extinct Indian species.
