The Introduction of the automobile
up to the present time has not hurt the
horse market. In fact, horses have
been as high this past year as they
have ever been, and so far as we can
see the supply is not increasing suffi-
GENTLY fast to bear the market in the
immediate future.

Any soil that will produce ordinary
farm crops should produce the small
fruits. Work the land deeply by the
use of the subsoil pillow, and make it
reasonably rich by the application of
some fertilizer. Make the soil fine
and mellow by repeated narrowing, aud
use manures literally.

give them too much hay. This is a
waste. The digestive system is ex-

WHAT WAS IT
The Woman Feared2

What a comfort to find it is not "tho awful thing" feared, but only chronic Indigestion. which proper food can re- lieve.
 A woman in Ohio says:
 T was troubled for years with indi- gestion and chronic constipation. At times I would have such a gnawing in my stomach that I actually feared I had al dislike to write or even think of what l feared.
 Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts I decided to try it. After a short time l was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough However 1 was relieved of bad case of dyspepsia by chang ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
 Since that time my bowels have been as regular as clock. l had also noticed before l began to eat Grape Nuts that was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house, which was very annoying.
 But since the digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young, and l am thankful" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich. Read the little booklet, @The Road to We'll ville," in packages. There's reason"

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL
 AND COOPERATIVE UNION - OF AMERICA -
FARMERS ORGANIZING.
OF AMERICA

If all farmers could agree to stand together as one man, there is nothing they could not accomplish. both in pol itics and business. They are being forced to organize in self-defense. Workers in every industry nave unions. When employers also have associations, and with the consolid, ton of business into large enter prises. with extensive capital, it be comes a matter of necessity that farm CTS should unite to protect their in terests. The trouble is to secure united action The Farmers Union and the American Society of Equity, organized to protect farmers in the sale.of. their products, have grown phe- nomenal4y. and show great strength.
 The thousands who have joined this progressive movement are not asking anything unreasonable - just fair deal. Farmers often get the worst of it because those with whom they deal are organized, while they are not. The Farmers Union now numbers 1.40a, poo members in g States. The organ ization. in it's meeting at Little Rock few days ago placed l5-cent min tmum price upon the new cotton crop. The farmers think that when all oth- CT products are commanding higher prices, cotton should bring 15 cents.
 If the membership of the union will stand Loyalty up to it, surprising good may flow from it.
 This paper is in sympathy with ey. cry movement among farmers to ben eft their condition, and will be glad at all times to help them along in ey- ery good cause.-Coosa Citizen.

An Atchison woman started out to buy her fall hat First she visited the openings and looked and looked. Then she took a friend and went around to the millinery stores and tried on" again, saying. of course. that her "hair looked perfectly ter rible." Then she went home and thought and thought, and, finally. went back to the stores and tried on'' once more; and thought, and thought, and then bought hat which Is so grotesque and hideous that her relatives and friends blush with shame every time they see her wear 1t, and strangers stare at her, wonder ing what kind of courage it takes to wear such looking hat But she did the best she could-Atchison (Kan) Globe

Nut Growing Industry of the South.

Nut growing is a comparatively new industry in the south Atlantic and Gulf states, but 1t promises to de- velop into one of the most important in that section," said J. z. Reid. a prosperous planter of Florida. The most popular nut Is the pecan, and it's popularity is probably due to the de- yelopment of systematic methods of grading it and cracking it with ma chinery operated by steam or electric power This makes possible the mar keting of the meats of the nut ready for use.
 "The demand is always much great CT than the supply and many planters are now turning their attention to the nut raising industry. It is not un- common for a tree to bear as high as 200 pounds of nuts in one season and most of these sell at from 60 to 70 cents pound. It does not require much figuring to show that the pecan orchards which abound in some sec tions are paying Investments

Another big gas we'll has been open ed near Fort Smith. Gas was dis covered at depth of 1,305 feet and it is estimated that the well will flow 5.000,0o0 feet of gas per day, and the pressure is such as to indicate an al most inexhaustible supply The dis coyery of this new well has again set those interested in the drilling to talking about oil, for it is the general belief that where there is so much gas, oil may be found in quan. titles lower down.

FIFTEEN CENTS.

Cotton is worth l } cents. That all know who know that cotton is planted in April and worked until July, then picked in the autumn, and the pieking is as troublesome and as costly as the working in the springtime Cotton is the costliest crop in the world in la DOT, and labor is the chief cost of any article produced by man.
 Already the manufacturers, the wholesalers and the retail merchants have put up the price of cotton goods above where it should be even with i5-cent cotton. One cheap class of cotton goods that weighs one pound 10 five yards has been advanced one cent a yard, or five cents pound to meet the advance of one cent in cot .on. Spool thread has been advanced more than sl pound because cotton went up cents a pound.
 The farmer ought to get a part of this. He does the hardest part of the work the cultivating and the pick ing. He bears the sunshine and the dew, and when he gets his part he sells it at once and proceeds to spend the money, and what he does not spend is put into the bank, where it can be borrowed The farmer does not spend enough of it at his home, on his women folks or on himself If he gets 15 cents he may feel like spending more and having more and making his home pretty He will keep better stock and be a better GUS toner of the merchant. In fact. we will all be better off if the farmer gets fairer shart.-Birmingham In deX

NUTS.

The constantly increasing consump- ton of nuts throughout the United States is an evident indication of growing demand for them as an ar tiele of diet As their use has in. creased, many persons have turned their attention 10 the growing of na- tive and foreign nuts on commercial basis. Many special nut foods have also been prepared Nuts being a con eentrated food. to have beneficial ef. feet, should be eaten in connection with q meal, rather than alone This is especially true when there is a dis position to imperfect mastication. Salt improves the palatability of most nuts with some people. but does not add to their digestibility. Nut candy is a highly concentrated form of food when properly eaten. Although very rich in protein. they are more expensive than meat. excepting the peanut When ten cents is spent for peanuts. it will purchase more than twice the protein and six times the energy that could be bought for the same expenditure in porterhouse steak. It is of more than passing interest to note that ten cents worth of peanuts contain more protein and energy than is furnished by many rations which are regarded as adequate for day. Although pea nuts supply protein energy for a small CT sum than bread, they are outranked by dried beans As whole. nuts may be classed among the staple foods and not simply as food ssofies.-From Nuts and Their Uses as Food
