BErTERING THE FARM LIFE
Practical Business Cooperation, More
Horse Power, Better Farm I'M
plements Is Solution.

Bettering conditions OF country life
is up to the farmer to do. We cannot
expect the government to make any
appropriations for the Improvement OF
country homes. We do not expect men
Of other callings to offer any practic.
al suggestions for the welfare and ad.
vancement of the farmer. says a wri
ter in National Co-operator. We must
work out our own salvation. 1t is a
settled fact that others have no sound
remedy TO offer in the interest Of the
agricultural class.
More horse power, better farm i'm.
plements and less manual labor per
acre to decrease cost OF production
and Increase the yield, with practical,
business cooperation is the principal
solution.
There is keen and commendable
ambition kindled in the hearts Of
country people for better dwellings,
better barns, rural routes, telephones,
more culture and refinement and a
general uplift. Theoretical ideas are
being advanced and theories aired by
men who have no interest in farm
houses and so on and so forth, but
the principles Of the Farmers union
are the only sound doctrine yet ad.
vanced. A fair and equitable price for
the products of the farm viii form the
basic foundation for social improve
ment.
To improve the condition Of coun.
try life the profits Of the soil and Of
honest toll must be increased. The
flights OF fancy may go through all Of
the theories, but unchangeable, stub
born facts come back here to roost.
The Farmers union has the remedy.
All reliable reports of the cotton
crop point to IS and 1S-cent cotton,
but some sub spectators In cotton
are offering the farmer cost of pro-
duction for his crop, not leaving any.
thing for the improvement Of country
homes. My! my! how easy some Of
our business (?) men can be "gulled"
into robbing farmers in the interest Of
some million dollar cotton concern.
The farmers are not all asleep in iS.

ings. Actually 1t Is a shameful fact
that some of our people have been
talking 35-cent corn, when conditions
of the crop point to IS and S0-cent
corn at gathering time.
The toilers who sweat in the hot
sun to produce the corn may have
some voice in the pricing. The ad.
vanced offerings are made with view
to hold down the price of farm prod.
ucts and the election Of true farmers
to Office will also be helpful in eleva.
ting the farming class to q higher
plane of prosperity.
Explosions Of dreamy theories will
never promote the farmers interest.
Men who oppose the Farmers union
doctrine are at heart against the ad.

homes and desire to continue the old
system of robbery and drive the farm.

The educational plank in the plat.

overrides the rotten suggestions and
actions of the evil opposition and

For SERVING Corn.

A new addition to table service is
known as the green corn server.
It is an individual dish for corn.
II is low. long dish. Just large
enough for a single ear Of corn.
It is shaped like a miniature horse
trough and set on low ball feet.
With It go pair Of silver holders,
by which the corn Is carried to the
mouth.
The holders look like daggers and
are stuck through the ends Of the ear.
A set Of these should make a most
acceptable wedding present, particu-
larly while they are so new.

Lesson for Beginner.

Let the beginner pick up copies
Of the leading poultry journal and he
will inevitably be confused by the in.
discriminate praise of all breeds. But
bear in mind that these are adHertis-
ing sheets and all these varied char Is
Of good quality in productiveness, size
and color are spread out to make
sales. If you have farm range and
aim at eggs-take to the Leghorn
class, but choose the heavy breeds for
close confinement and table fowls.
Success then lies in attention to de-
tail.

Stick TO One Breed.

A poultry raiser should decide care.
fully what breed is best suited to his
purpose and stick to that one.
Don't let the extravagant praises Of
some rival breed switch you of the
track Much can be said truly, in
favor of each one Of the popular
breeds. But unless you are a com
mercial breeder on a large scale yoU
don't want them all. The treatment
Of the breeds varies. and having
learned one, you may fail with an
other. Stick to one breed.

In my house Of dreams
I may walk alone;
There, enchanted, CLEANS
Scepter, crown and throne
There are long, long halls
Where no step gives sound.
There are lofty walls
Closing II around.
There are pictures fair
Which / strive to make
When with all my care
My weak hand would shake
There the pictures are
Perfect and divine,
Not q blur 10 mar

Through my house Of dreams
Music always floats
As down laughing streams
Idly drift the boats
Songs that !, awake,
Frame with many a fault,
Here they neither break
Nor grow dull and halt.
In that house are rooms
Where l roam, or rest,
Free from outer glooms,
Gaining every quest;
There my soul is glad,
There my heart is light, 7
For no shadow, sad,
Lies there day or night.
In my house Of dreams

OF the light that CLEANS.
OF the lights that glow,
OF the songs that sing,
OF the peace that stays
In the fadeless beams
OF the light that plays
In my house Of dream.

LITTLE ELDORADO IS
 SCENE OF BIG DEALS

That minining men of the district are in continually increasing num- bers, turning their eyes to Little FL dorado, is evidenced by the various deals reported from that creek dur ing the past few months. Yesterday two large transfers were put on rec ord.

 The belief is gaining ground that action on the Gunnison question will be delayed until after Mir. Taft be- comes president. It Is also believed that if this be the case, President Taft will not send Gunnison's name to the senate.
