Value of co-operation.

Sir Horace Plunkett, member of the
British house of parliament, who has
'een in this country recently, said in
IN address to agricultural students
hat there was mot a single county,
lot a parish, in Ireland where the
armers are not completely revolution
zing the entire business of farming by
Introducing cooperative methods" And
t might be added that there is scarce
y farming district in the United
states where more benefits canont be
'ealized by closer cooperation of the
armers. The farmers are understand
ng each other better each year and
ire coming closer together In all mat
ers which pertain to their mutual in
erests, but there are stili greater posi-
)ilities ahead. Describing the 900 CO.
operative organizations of peasants in
ireland which he was instrumental in
ablishing for the purpose of compe-

OF any width and length desired. The
whole Is covered with leaves, salt grass
hay or straw and a little soil, rails,
brush or litter. Small unstable heads
when stored in this way in November
will continue to develop during winter
and frequently sell as we'll as any in
February. Small quantities may be
stored by plowing out two or three fur
rows ten or twelve inches deep on a
well drained site and placing the heads
with their stems up as close together
as possible. Some prefer to lay them
but one or two thick, while others will
pile them up two to two and half
feet high, bringing them to point.
The pile Is then covered. with straw,
salt grass hay or thin layer Of straw
and then several Inches of soil. They
are stored before freezing, and when
the soil covering them is frozen 1t may
be covered with strawy manure or any
other litter to keep the soil frozen un
til the cabbages are needed for sale.

wintering Cabbage.

One Of the simplest ways Of keeping
cabbage Is to store in an orchard or
some sheltered place, often alongside
fence which has been made tight by
liberal use of straw. The cabbages
are stored with their stems on and are
placed head down and as close together
as possible. Two or three tiers are
often made, the heads Of the second
tier being placed between stems Of the
lower, and so on, the piles being made

Jacks Adventure

BY Alta Wilken, Aged Is Years, Waco,
Neb. Red.
Jack Robbins father ana mother had
moved west when he was but a little boy,
so that he had never known anything but
this home out on the prairie. He loved the
free life and when he had finished his
work he would mount his horse and go fly
ing over the country, just as happy as a
boy could be. His father had taught him
to use a gun when he was but "A little fell
low and now 1t is one of his greatest treas
ures. One evening Jack and his father had
gone out to shoot some game for breakfast.
They hoped that some deer might come
across their way, and they had climbed up
on a platform that Jacks father had built
In a tree to walt for II. Soon they heard
the gallop Of horses and their hearts nearly
stood still. When they saw a dozen or
more Indians riding towards them Jacks
father motloned for him to be quiet and
they laid there and watched. Both thought
of mother at home. The Indians dis.
mounted not far from them and they
learned that they had come to attack the
settlers. Something must be done quickly
and quietly. As carefully as possible they
climbed down. Jack must go one way and
his father another. Jack was a brave boy,
so on he sped from house to house, warning
the men. Soon a body OF men gathered
together and the Indians were attacked
and killed. Oh, how proud OF their boy
Jacks father and mother were.
