How Losses Cost Double.

No animal can remain at a stand. still without loss to its owner. If an animal is not gaining, then the food and labor are thrown away If an animal loses only a pound in weight, then the farmer not only suffers a loss of that which he once had, but must incur additional expense to re. gain that one pound, but the time lost canont be recovered. When there is falling off in weight or the vie d ot milk is reduced, the cause should De sought and if an error has occurred or there Is fault in the management, a change should be made for the bet ter without delay.

exchanges supports the spot market.
 At New Orleans no defender of fu- ture gambling raised his voice on the floor of the convention, but in some way press reports went out to the eff feet that strong sentiment had de veloped. or was developing, in the un- ion in favor of amending our anti bucket shop legislation so as to per init gambling on Legitimate eX- changes" whatever they are. This ought not to have been, because there is no such change of sentiment in the union and the spreading of such reports will strengthen the specuia- tors and gamblers In their war upon these laws, which will be renewed before the next legislatures.
 As whole, however. we believe the New Orleans convention has greatly strengthened the holding and gradual marketing movement; has strength. ened confidence In the final outcome for better prices, and we confidently expect to see more cotton held for bet ter prices and gradual advance in the market.-National CoOperator.

Horse fairs. held almost continu. ously throughout the year have heip ed to make Belgium the greatest horse breeding country of it's size in the world The fairs are largely at. tended by foreign buyers, especially Germans, who purchase 25.000 horsea a year at these exhibitions Sales fo, export in 1906 aggregated $7,000, coo. It is estimated that there are now 100000 horses in Belgium, country not quite as large as the state of Ida syland, which has just about one-haK ,Ihat number of horses.

Farmers Educational
 --AND- Co., Union Of America
The Two Conventions.

l
 The two cotton conventions-one at 1 New Orleans by the Farmers Union
 and the other by the Southern Cotton Association at Memphis-have passed
 Into history and the question natural ] ly arises, what has been accom-
 plished?
 Neither convention carried to ma
 turity any definite plan for holding the cotton crop for satisfactory prices because of the many difficult
 ties in the way of taking care of that part of it which is under mortgage for the supplies on which 1t was made But both did much to overcome these difficulties by bringing forcibly before the business world the fact that when this fraction of the cotton is forced upon the market i'll advance of the l demand for 1t, the price on the entire crop is depressed and the South loses
 millions of dollars which should flow through all her channels of trade. And not only did they bring these con- 1 ditions clearly before the business world, but representative bankers and 1 business men expressed a willing ness to cooperate along safe and sound methods of improving them. The Farmers Union needs campaign of education among business men, as well as among farmers, and the New Orleans convention was worth all il
 cost for what it accomplished in this
 respect alone.
 In the matter of marketing that part of the crop not under the neees- sity of immediate sale, the work of
 both conventions is calculated to have
 a very beneficial effect. The sup
 port of the holding and gradual mark e.ing movement by leading financiers
 and large planters should be a power
 ful stimulus to those who have hesi-
 tated as to what they should do, and
 where one bale has been held back be-
 fore, two should be held since these
 conventions.
 IL is too early to say what may be
 expected from the great warehouse
 scheme of the New Orleans conven-
 ton, the committee in whose charge
 1t was placed has not given a definite
 outline of the plan. Some such ar i, engagement at New Orleans as that
 made at Galveston by the Farmers
 Union of Texas would materially help,
 and it seems quite probable that this
 much will be accomplished. As to the organization of great cotton hold Ing company, that is another question. Evidently the Farmers Union is not
 ready for such a move, and we do not believe the time will ever come when 1t can be made successful. Our opin-
 ion is that the remedy does not lie in that direction.
 The one damaging result in our
 opinion, of both conventions was the
 disposition to compromise with the cotton exchanges At Memphis, gam bling in cotton futures on the ex-
 changes was boldly defended and the claim was made that anti-bucket shop legislation in the Southern states had helped to depress prices to the present low level Of course. bucket shops
 were condemned, although the speak
 CTS did not show why gambling on exchanges is any more beneficial to the cotton growers than on bucket shops, but the spurious claim was ad- yanced that buyers of futures on the
