Farmers Cooperative
Union of America.

Don't forget the word educational
In the name Of the Union. 1t Is the
big word of the bunch, and upon il
hang all the laws and the prophets, "
as we'll as the profits.
Don't for moment try to think that
you have any other source of profit on
the farm that Is any way nearly as
profitable as the poultry yard. That
Is gold mine, yielding the pure stun :
but you will have to mine 1t to get II
out, all the same.
When YOU plant turkeys you plant
the greatest insect enemy that was
ever discovered. A big bunch Of tur-
keys in the cotton patch knocks the
boil bug off the face Of the earth.
Guatemaulan ants amt in it at all.
The turks have them skinned a city
block
Look cut for the man who wants TO
open an account with you. He means
all right, but 1t is natural for the book
keeper to make the entry at a good
round price as 1t Is for a duck to 60
barefoot. 1t is funny how much better
the cold cash is than anybody'S name;
but it is, all the same.
To combine in a gigantic cotton con-
trolling scheme is about as much OF
trust as any other combine in the
interest of setting prices and restrict
ing output. Nobody denies this, bus
what is sauce for the goose IS sauce
for the gander; and this is the only
way to meet present conditions Let
as meet them.
Just can't keep from talking about
the value Of a garden at all seasons
of the year. There isn't any garden
season." for, like death, "all seasons
are thine, Mr.. Gardener" The gar
den, besides being the source Of pleas
ure and profit, is the foundation-piece
Of health. Get into the garden habit,
and get it quick!
What arrangements have you made
tor the pigs and calves for the coming
spring and summer months. 1t is e
cruelty to keep them shut up in little
dried up pens all summer, and the time
is coming when 1t will be punished,
too. Arrange now for some sort of a
show at pasture where there is some
green stuff a-growing.
All over this country we are hearing
good reports of the use of the split log
drag for road making. Why can't
bunch Of people living along a stretch
Of road make up few OF these Grags
and leave one at each house along the
way, and after each rain get busy with
them for an hour of two? The road
Is the property of the public, but at the
same time 1t looks like the one using
1t the most should pay most attention
to the keeping 1t in repair. Try it.
How are you hooked up" on read
Ing matter for the home? At the pres
ent prices Of pretty and good maya.
zines, it is time that the mail order
trash was relegated to tae brush heap.
Read good stuff or nothing; for every
moment that you put into trash Is that
much Of your life cut off from yon
forever. You have no time to throw
away. One writer, speaking of tho
value Of time, said 1t was so precious
that the Giver of all good gifts was so
careful Of time that we were allowed
to use only one moment of it at time.
This Is so. Every moment that you
use has something to do toward max
ing up your life; and you surely don't
want any waste places in the 80 like |
unto God" powers that have been
trusted to your watch-care.
