Doduinu the Mortgage.

A farmer near Mckinney, Texas, has
marketed thirty bushels of turnips the
past season from quarter of an acre.
The seed cost him 10 cents and he
sold the product at 60 cents per bush
ell. He was well paid for the time he
took to plant, take care of and market
the turnips and he had something to
sell when he went to town instead of
going there to buy a wagonload of
something he could have raised.

FhRMEnS' EDUCATIONAL
AND
COOPERATIVE union
=== OF AMERICA -
COST OF COTTON PRODUCTION.
OF AMERICA

y gentleman on a Dallas, Texas,
street car was heard to remark a few
weeks ago about as follows: i've
raised cotton, and the cost Of produc,
ton was not exceeding cents a
pound, and it is eXtortiOn for farmers
to ask - cents" This is not the
word for word statement of the gen
tleman, but was the spirit and exact
substance Of what he said He spoke
in some bitterness, too, and was in
clined one would Judge, from his man
ner and tone, to lay the blame Of the
panicky times and hard lines resulting
therefrOm upon the Union farmers
who were holding their cotton. He
thought they ought to sell for what
they could get for the products Of
their fields and the gifts of Mother
Earth in payment for the hard toll of
themselves and their families. His
business was at standstill Al bust
ness was languishing, and the farmer
should sacrifice himself and the dear
ones Of his heart and his home that
business might pick up.
Now, this gentleman Is not an un-
kind man, nor selfish, nor unjust. He
was, and is yet, in ignorance Of the
prehend the fact that no interest or
business can thrive, or even exist, as
it ought to exist, and prosper, unless
the farming classes are prosperous.
He did not know, then, and does not
even dream now, that this panic be-
gan IN October last and just ending,
was the deliberate, unscruplous work
of Eastern captains Of finance" for
their own sinister purposes, utterly
reckless as to what the effects might
be on others SO they prospered-a
scheme, indeed, simply and purely for
spoilation and to help along other
ends they had in view for the further
and continuous robbery Of the people.
As to his estimate of the cost to
produce cotton, let us look at that a
little. He says he raised cotton at
a cost of only 5 cents pound. He
did not do any such thing At the
time he farmed, some years ago, he
might have produced cotton at an out
lay of actual cash Of only 5 cents a
pound, but that actual cash outlay did
not represent the entire cost of pro-
duction. His time was occupied in the
management of the affairs of his farm
Was his time worth nothing? His
education and his skill were brought
into full play and force in the prep
aration of his land, in the pitching Of
his crop, in its cultivation, in fight
ing and warding off crop enemies, in
gathering his crop, in preparing it for
market, in marketing it. Is all this
worth nothing? Is the wear and ex.
haustion of body and mind and the
worry and care incident upon the pro-
duction of a crop worth nothing? Is
the capital invested in a farm, in
the teams and farming implements, in
the feed stuffs for man and beast
needful in the years work, worth
nothing? Shall there be no interest
on this Investment added into the cost
of production? All these things we
have enumerated above enter into the
expense account and cost bills in ev.
cry other line of business under the
sun, and why not into the business of
farming, too?-Co-Operator.

her and claim her for his own until he
could bring Black back, too, to suffer

At that moment, SADIE gave little
convulsive shudder and the water
rolled over her head. Langford slip
ped from the saddle, but in the instant
of contact with the pushing current,
his rife was jerked violently from his
hand and sank out of sight. With no
time for vain regrets, he struck out
for the shore. The struggle was ire
mendous. He was buffeted and beat
en-. and borne farther down the
stream. More than once in the en-
deavor to strike too squarely across,
his head went under; but he was a
strong swimmer. and soon SCrambling
I'D the bank some distance below the
ford, he turned and sent a resonant
hail to his comrades. They responded
Justify. He had been the only one I'M
horsed. He threw himself face down
ward to cough up some of the water
he had been compelled to swallow,
and Munson, running up, began slap
ping him vigorously upon the back.
He desisted only to run swiftly along
the bank.
Good for YOU" Jim cried approving
ly, assisting Langfords spent horse

where Langford still stretched out full
length, SADIE rubbed her nose inQuir-
ingly over the big shoulders lying SO
low, and whinnied softly.
Hello there" cried Paul, spring
ing excitedly to his feet "Where'd you
come from? Thought you had crossed
the bar. Now III just borrow a gun
from one of you fellows and We'll be
getting along. Better my rifle than my
horse at this stage of the game, any
way"
The little party pushed on. The
longer half of their journey was still
before them. On the whole, perhaps,
it was better the crowd had split.
There was more unity Of purpose
among those who were left. The sun
was getting hot, and Langford's
clothes dried rapidly.
Arrived at the entrance of the cross
ravine which WillistOn had once
sought out, the four men rode their
horses safely through its length. The

The sun struggled from behind rain

wind blew up. The clouds skurried
away toward the horizon.
At White river ford, the men looked
at each other in mute inquiry. The
stream was raging torrent. It was
swollen until it was half again it's
ordinary width. The usually placid
waters were rushing and twisting into
whirlpool-like rapids.
What now?" asked Baker, the dep
uty-sheriff.

vouchsafed one of the volunteers, nod
ding his head wisely.
Well sure have to wait for the

other.
why, we can swim that all right"
put in Langford, rallying from his mo-
mentary setback and riding his mount
to the very edge of the swirling water.
Hold on minute there, Boss"
cried Jim. Don't be rash now. What's
the census Of 'pinion O this here COM
pany? Shall we resk the ford or shall
we not?"

his blue eyes, ARE you afraid? What's
come over you?'
"Nothin'. | amt no coward neither,
and eff you wasn't the Boss I'd show
you. l was just thinkin' o'-some-
body who'd care-that's all"
Just for a moment a PARKWAY look
came into the young ranchman's eyes.
Then he Strengthened himself in his
saddle

thing through" he said, tersely.
What do you say, Johnson?"
Il never for one minute calculated
on doing thing else," replied the dep
uty-marshal, who had been standing
somewhat apart awaiting the end of
the controversy, with a good-humored
smile in his twinkling blue eyes.
Paul urged Sade into the water. He
was followed unhesitatingly by Mum
son, Johnson, and Baker. The others
held back, and finally, after a short
consultation, wheeled and retraced
their steps.

an ominous rush to it.
Il don't care. didn't mean to hold
over and let our quarry get wind of
this affair." cried Langford over his
shoulder. Keep your rifles dry, boys!"
Suddenly, without warning, SADIE
stepped into a hole and lost her bal
ance for moment. She struggled gal
lantly and recovered herself, yet il
weakened her. 1t was not long before
all the horses were compelled to swim
and the force of the current immedi
ately began driving them down
