THE REASON WHY.

The reason why SO many enter
prises started by farmers fail is they
place incompetent men at the head,
writes Mr.. Grant, editor Of the Ma
tiona1 Co-Operator. Business fitness
and business qualifications are not
considered as a rule. Some man is
nominated because he is popular,
and is elected, indicted into Office,
and usually undertakes to do bust
ness that he knows practically moth
ing about.
Failure in many cases is the re-
suit. then the disastrous results are
attributed to dishonesty, whene> in
fact it was ignorance of business or
business methods We have so many
object lessons along this line that it
appears to us that the farmer would
learn better.
Another thing, the union is always
hunting cheap John employees; the
salary offered no first-class man could
possibly take. It appears that our
people had rather take a cheap John
and consequent failure than to pay
successful business man reason
able salary and succeed. The Farm
ers' Union must get out of this kind
of business and get upon higher
plane Then business success will
come to us, and the complete conf
dence of the people will be given.

FARM NOTES.

Separate good, rich cream, then
churn it at lower temperature.
Milk is used raw, while most other
food products are cooked in some
way. The very fact that milk is
raw food should stimulate those en-
gagged in it's production to the great
est possible care.
Never put warm cream and cold
cream together. Use separate cans.
Don't say you can't afford it, You are
in the dairy business every day in the
year. If conducted properly there is
money enough in it to buy all the
necessary tools
Milk may be unclean and unfit for
use from either internal or external
causes. The COW may be diseased or
the surroundings and the utensils

A WOMANAND HER MOUSE FARM.

A woman in western Massachu-
sets, according to the Farmers
Voice, makes a living at the unusual
occupation of mouse farming. Last
year she sold 5000 mice and rats for
experimental purposes. They were
bought by the laboratories for use in
the study of tuberculosis and various
diseases. The animals are artificially
infected and the results studied by
observations carefully recorded. Mice
are used in greatest numbers at SIS
to SIS per hundred. Rats sell for
about $25 per hundred. The animals
are kept in cages and the farm build
ings. Besides rats and mice the live
stock includes several hundred gui-
nea pigs and number of rabbits.
Some of the animals are of rare
breeds and are sold for pets. They
are fed on grain principally

Do you know which crops netted
you profit last year and how much?
DO you know what animals you fed
and made money on? Of course you
don't if you kept no accounts or rec
ords. Quit such reckless methods.

conducts his business.

man and the producer can come to-
gether and operate along lines con-
genial and beneficial to both might
just as well be exploded at once, for
their interests are too far apart to
ever come together. One is deter
mined to buy as cheap1y as possible,
irrespective of the loss entailed to
the whole people, and the other in
terest wishes to sell at as good a
price as possible that they may share
in the prosperity of the mill man

object in view of bringing mill men

the conqueror of King Cotton; the
man who ''busted" Sully, and the
man who will all the time regulate
the price of American cotton by fore
ing lockouts and spreading his views

FOR SKINNING THE
FARMER.
FARMER.
BY Henry S. Reid, Atlanta.

Other day and, of course, we drifted)
in comfortable way into cotton and
the conditions surrounding the crop.
| said Colonel, are you selling
your growing crop for IL cents per
pound?' "No," he replied, because
if cotton goes off for any reason
those who agree to pay the IL cents
will grade my cotton down to such
point will get only what it is then
selling for" Continuing, he spoke
in vigorous terms Of the methods
and manners for SHINING the farm
er, which brings up the virile sub
fication
Indeed it is high time something
was done by the "Great White
Father" to guarantee the producer
the market price for his staple.
Middling cotton, the base of cot
ton prices the world over, should be
recognized quantity; that is to say,
middling cotton should be the same
in Savannah it is in Thomson; the
same in Galveston it is in Boston, and
it should be so understood. 1t should
meet certain requirements as to
length and strength and color and
fineness, so that the cotton man and
the cotton farmer, too, if he wished
to know could tell when middling
cotton was up for inspection and
SALE AS it is, each man who buys cot
ton, if he is so inclined, can defraud
the producer out of much money by
wrongfully classifying the farmers
product, and, as is always the case,
where farmer comes in contact
with ''the interests the man who
made the crop possible gets the little
end, or the hot end, or the worst end
of the deal.
The outlook for the crop of 1909,
based on a careful calculation taking
into consideration condition, acre
age, ETC., is for about 100000
bales, or perhaps 100000 less. If our
crop does not go beyond this, and the
interests federated for the purpose
of depressing the price are not per-
mitted to carry their warfare against
the American producer too far, the
prospect is good for IL IL cents,
possibly 15-cent cotton.
If our people would keep in mind
the fact that the mills of the world
are being added to every year, Gre
ating a greater demand last season
for American cotton, and that these
new mills, nor old ones, could run
were it not for the cotton lint of
Dixie, and that by marketing slowly
so as not to glut the markets, the
price could always be maintained at
a reasonably high level. I am firm
advocate of organization, and am
doing, in a quiet way, all that I can
to further the full cooperation of the
Southern people that they may more
effectually combat the concentrated
efforts of the British interests, aided
and abetted by the American mill
man. The idea entertained by some

by perpetrating some of the rankest
registration frauds ever pulled off in
Colorado This is of the same grade
OF falsehods. 1t hasn't the backing
OF "A grain of evidence or truth.
In its editorial today concerning
the closing of the dives" the minis
terial organ makes these statements:
Hundreds of citizens had petit
toned the council to close up those
places. n. n. Smith and his CO.
workers in the Fourth ward had Sc
cured list after list of signatures of
local men and women begging the
council to drive out the dens. Where
was the saloon allied then? For the
dives and the dives won"
Yet the facts are that only one pc
tition was ever presented to the coun-
ell by Smith and his co-workers. This
petition went to the proper commit
tee. from which a majority and mi
nority report was made. Two days
later, without consulting a single
man. Mayor Wentworth, closed up
those houses on his own accord The

no grounds for the slightest founda-

brands it as a lie.
The Yellow further says that "Fire
Chief Rogers is an appointee of May
or Wentworth and the bright partic-
ular star of the present administra-
ton" Yet the facts are that the
fire chief was not appointed by the
mayor and cannot be appointed by
the mayor; but was elected by the
council and without the voice of the
mayor.
The Yellow again asserts that City
Attorney Rozzelle wrote the platform
of the Citizens e Taxpayers League.
This is n lie out of the whole cloth.
The platform was prepared by a com
mittee of which Rozzelle was not even
member.

1t is not surprising that such ac-

them but it is surprising that the

ers, who are everlastingly crying out
All We want is a square dealt will

Especially were the editorial utter
ances of the morning sheet Shiny

ment after statement was made that

statements that Karl a. Bickel and
Roy M. McClintock. the writers of
the same, knew We're lies when they
gave them being.
Yet. by the employment of such
methods these editors and their
champions hope to win. BY the prac-
tice of fraud and falsehood they hope
to lead the people to believe that the
Citizens & Taxpayers League ticket
is composed of saloon men, named by
saloon men, financed by saloon men.
and that these men. all of whom have
as clear and clean records as any man

are men of dishonor and without re-

FISH FROM THE CLOUDS.
Picked Up on an English Hillside
Instances From India.

From the Campbelltown Courier.
Friday last a number of townspeople
taking a walk on the slopes of Knock
scalbert Hill were surprised to see on the
grass near Summerhill a large number OF
very small fishes. varying in length from
one and one-half to two inches. The fish
appeared TO be the young Of the herring,
and their presence on the hill in consider
able numbers created. much speculation.
In August, 1904, a shower Of herring fry
was experienced at the head of Longrow.
but there was no doubt as to whence the
miniature fish had ccme. for they fell
from above on the hats and clothing OF
several men. and at the time small
black cloud of remarkable density was
directly overhead.
The phenomenon of FISH falling from the
clouds is says our cotemporary. OF more
common occurrence that is generally sup
posed II is undoubtedly due to some
small fry of fishes having been lifted
from the water and carried over dry land
by what is popularity known as the water
spout.
Many cases are reported from abroad
and they are common in India Last
year Caithness reported shower OF small
fishes, which were identified as herring
fry. and there was also a similar occur
renee in Ross-shire
Frogs, insects and other living creatures
have also been known to be thus trans-
ported through the air.
