COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS.
Opinion of Director Of Virginia Ex
pertinent Station.

Cooperation should be one of the
planks in the farmers platform, and
every progressive citizen will respect
him more for standing out firmly for
his Just rights. Too frequently In the
past tie residents of towns and cities
have felt that the farmers could be
overridden at will, that their wishes
could be ignored-in other words, that
the success of the farmer depended
entirely on the city. There never was
a greater mistake, but the present sit
uation can never be solved satisfactor-
ily until the farmers unite sufficiently
to get to touch with the consumer and
sell more of their products directly
Cooperation nationally pursued VIII
enable the farmers to improve their
condition financially, and to obtain bet
ter prices for their products, and Il
| should therefore be the duty of every
farmer to give attention to shis i'm
portant phase of his business and Il
work in harmony with his friends ant
neighbors for the achievement OF al
end so desirable from every point o
view.-Andrew M. Soule, Director VII

person knows how much cottonseed
meal can be safely fed to horse, but
we are safe in stating that from two
to three pounds per day may be fed
with safety and economy. 1t may also
be argued by some that the farmer
| usually has the corn, but would have
to buy the cottonseed meal. l merely
reply that he can better afford to sell
four pounds of corn and buy two
pounds of cottonseed meal than he can
to feed a ration of all corn and corn

A pound of cottonseed meal usually
costs little more than a pound Of corr

for feeding. Moreover the man wht

The Directions Are Good.

II has remained. by the way. for
shrewd Franklin county farmer to dis
cover one merit, at least, about some
of these so-called stock foods. Said he:
I've tried 'em; and honestly | don't
think the powders are worth cent,
but the directions that go with them
are good" When requested to ex-
plain, he did SO, saying that following
such directions as, Give your horse
a karin stable and clean, dry bedding;
water him regularly. give him good
SCUM feed in sufficient quantities;
curry him off and rub him down good
every morning, would certainly vindi
cate their remedial virtues and lead
to happy results without the assistance
of powders" Yes. these directions
are good.-Progressive Farmer.
