by practical demonstration the

is the voice oil God, and that it is
omnipotent. Thus the greatest
truth in civilization was made a

Time to Build Warehouses.

This is the time of year to build warehouses and gins. Get in a po- sition to handle and control your own cotton. Be able to market intelli- gently. The mills require year to manufacture and the world takes 8 year in which to consume it. Then why try to force 1t all on the market within one-fourth of this time?-Na- tional Cooperator.
 If every cotton farmer understood trade, manufacturing and market con- ditions as well as he understands planting, tilling and harvesting, he would undoubtedly be great deal better off. If cotton selling, with or without the warehouse plan, were made an all the year round business, like butter and egg selling, and cotton buyers were required to work twelve months to earn their salaries, it would certainly affect the stability of the price to the advantage of the pro ducer. If it were necessary for the: mills to look for stock every month in the year instead of four or i've months, they might be better bidders Dallas News.

Farminq No "Snap."

I often see wild yarns telling how a mechanic with $500 to $40O can make good living on few acres of land, or a stenographer Or school teacher can earn enough to support a family with chickens on town lot.
 People who are ignorant of the farming business are often induced by these silly stories to throw up their jobs and try it. Any kind of farm ing is serious business and requires lot of technical knowledge. and 1t cannot be learned in a day or a year
 If a mechanic is so situated that he can get piece of land near his job on which he can experiment, keep ing close to the payroll at the factory meantime, he will be able to tell in a year or two whether 1t is a good thing or not.
 Go very slow and when you venture on farming or chicken raising stick close to some other kind of job that will keep the meal tub supplied till you are sure that you can succeed. Then go at it for all you are worth.

 Quite number of young people spent last Tuesday evening in so- clal talk and laughter at the hos pitable country home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Angus, south of town. Numerous games and plays were indulged in and a jolly good time was had by all. At about 10:3O the guests departed for their homes each, assuring the hosts of having had a most delightful time.

The College Farm Boy Maker of
 New Prosperity.

Throughout the country the benefit of education at the agricultural col leges is beginning to assume an i'm portance in the eyes of the farming communities which it never had be- fore.
 The boys who come back to the farm inbued with the idea of scintific farming are making records for them selves which causes the old time farmers to open their eyes.
 The experienced farmers who thought they knew alf about corn grow lads who come back from school with a scientific knowledge as to the best methods of preparing the soil, select ing the seed, and doing other things of vital importance, are growing crops that are record-breakers.
 The yield that the average college boy secures from his experimental corn field is so great that his corn is immediately in demand for seed among the neighbors who see how much better success he is having than they have had, and while they will not be able to produce a good a crop from his seed alone they are begin ming to follow his methods of cultiva tion and the result is an increase in the quality and quantity of the corn yield.
 One farmers son in Wisconsin is said to have cleared S6,000.00 from his seed corn, this amount being in excess of his fathers entire income from the whole farm. Another col lege farm boy secured $30.00 pe1 bushel for his seed corn. and so il goes
 The average American farm boy is not only substantial and respon sible young man, but he is filled with an ambition to do better things than have ever been done, in whatever he undertakes to do; and twenty years from today, the neighborhoods where the finest crops are produced and where the best and most productive farms are located, will point back to the time when the boys were first sent to agricultural colleges as the begin ming of this new prosperity, which is dawning upon the farmers of the country.-Oklahoma Farmer.

Small Fruits for Fall.

One of the objects sought in late years has been the creation of ovor- bearing varieties of the small fruits or of those that will bear a second crop in the fall.
 This has never been achieved. al. though claims have been made iron, time to time The tree fruits such as the apple and peach. have always possessed sorts that naturally fruited in the fall, but the raspberry. black. berry and strawberry and other small fruits have their one appointed season for bearing and 1t is in all cases in the spring, or at least the fruits blossom and start into growth at that time, though some varieties of the blackberry do not ripen till the sun- mer is more than half gone.
 Claims have been made for an ever. bearing raspberry, but 1t does not seem to have been success. It is. however, common in the case of all these berries for them to bear a kind of second crop by putting forth fruit stems now and then after the main crop is gone.
 The strawberry, too, often blooms in the fall after a long drought. fol- lowed by copious rains.
 Recently, however, some varieties of genuine fall-bearing strawberries have been introduced, whose claims seem to be well substantiated. But here again they are admittedly not ever-bearing, but bear in the fall only when their blossoms have been kept picked off during the spring, other wise they would bear all their crop in the spring, just as other kinds.
 These fallbearing strawberries pro. mise to become very valuable and of great commercial importance in at least the southern states, where the fall is warm and frost does not come till towards Christmas.
 This would give them a long sea- son and an opportunity to bear large crops. But even in the middle and even Northern states they would be welcomed if they are able to afford supply of the delicious strawberry. even for short time
 One of the best known of these the Pan-American-was originated in New York, and annually produces It's growers quite a crop during Sep tember and up till frost.
 They can be made to fruit in Aug ust if desired by allowing the blos- sons to remain thirty days before
 There seems to be no reasonable doubt that fall strawberries will soon not too much to expect that the same will eventually be true of the rasp- berry and other small fruits.
