F Farmers Educational T0 and Co-Operative
 II Union of America
Matters gf Especial Moment to
 -. the Progressive Agriculturist

The uion is the right name for it. Don't make it mean something else by diversion.
 It is a glorious thought that you are one of grand army moving on to magnificent victory.
 If you have been a little dilatory in the past, pull off your coat this year and work for success.
 Don't squat in the breechin' " when there's hard pull on hand. That is just when you are needed.
 There isn't any political thunder in the union, but, oh my, that lightning! Where is it going to strike?
 Have you joined the union? If so, that is the first step. The next step is to make a good member.
 Only through diversion of forces and disloyalty to principles can the Farmers union be beaten. Be loyal to your organization and it's officers.
 If the union listens to politicians and stays out of politics; listens to the merchant and stays out of busi- ness; listens to the preacher and stays out of religious matters, about all it can do is to throw the bootjack at the cat.

A clergyman, who was not averse to an occasional glass, hired an Irish man to clean cut his cellar The Irish man began his work. He brought forth lot of empty whisky bottles, and as he lifted each one looked through it at the sun. The preacher, who was walking on the lawn, saw him and said: They are all dead ones, Pat They are?" said Pat Well, there is one good thing about it-they all had the minister with them when they were dying. lid Bits

Like an Earthquake.

Former High Sheriff Chesterfield c. Middlebrooks, whose bungalow at Highland lake stands partly over the lake on stone and cement foundations, was awakened at four o'clock the other morning by loud noises which he says shook his bungalow like an earth tremor.
 HS says that after the household had been shaken out of sound sleep, he, not waiting to dress, went outside to ascertain the. cause of the noise He found, he says. that monster frog had it's bed directly under the bungalow. The frog weighed fully six pounds, he says, and every time it croaked the bungalow cracked and shook
 Mr. MiddlebroCss bought an anchor, strong rope and enough red flannel to bait 100 hooks, and will try to save his property by capturing the bull frog.-Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to New York World

INFLUENCE OF THE UNION.
cipIes and Act in Harmony for
 Ultimate Victory.

The strength and influence of the Farmers union does not lie altogeth. CT in great numbers. Without dsci- pie and oneness of purpose numbers would count for nothing. The union should be reasonable in all things, and steadfast in purpose. The members should be loyal to it's principles, and practice what they teach. It should present a solid front on every essen tial and important proposition. It must act in harmony and with unity if it expects to win. If it will do this it can get what it desires, even in political way, without going into pol itics. When it asks for nothing un- reasonable, and insists as unit for what it does ask for, there is no po- litical power going to resist it's de- mands. Its greatest danger is from the efforts of political demagogues to control it. All these should be given a wide berth. Let the union pursue tke even tenor of it's way, attend strictly to the purposes for which it was organized, and it will prove to be the greatest labor organization that ever existed.

MOVED HIM TO ADMIRATION.
Texas Ranchman Genuinely Aston- isF1ed at the Knowledge ct the
 "Buq Collector"

At one time Prof Snow, the we'll known Kansas naturalist, was out with a party of students on his annual insect hunt, writes MT. C. Il. oterh- berg in Life of a Fossil Hunter, when the owner of a large herd ol Texas cattle, who was passing through, noticed the party out on the prairie with their nets in their hands running about as if possessed. u happened to be the first time that ne had ever seen insect collectors at work, and his curiosity was aroused.
 What are those men doing?' he asked Jim Thompson. , Catching bugs" was the laconic reply.
 q don't believe it. said the COW man. They are grown men,
 All right" said Jim, you can find out for yourself if you want to-
 The man started off after the pro fessor and 1 waited, with good deal of curiosity, to hear his report of the conversation. On his return he was in brown study. The professor had taken him into his tent and shown him hundreds of mounted insects. reeling off their names to him until his head whirled.
 Well, did I tell you the truth 9 Jim asked.

Tie Gead-Beat Is Probably the Most Despised Creature That Walks
 the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but so many lesser evils are tolerated that a man should hesitate long before be- coming q dead-beat Criminals are de- spised and abhorred, but to the dead beat all that is coming, as well as the contempt of his fellow men. There is something at once so mean and so lit tie in taking advantage of the confi- dence which comes with friendship that the hand of every man is turned against dead-beat as soon as his reputation is well established. The deadbeat may fondly imagine he is living easy and making money with out work and, of course, he takes no account of the confidence he violates and the hardships he infiicts on oth- CTS. But, that aside, he really has a harder time than the man who is honest and fair. He is compelled to move d good deal, and peace of mind he knows not Like other types of crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his finish is more unpleasant than the be- ginning Globe.

and misery. l advise all suffering women to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. - MRS. EMMA WHEATON, Vienna, w. Va.
 Lydia E. Einkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotics or harm- full drugs, and to-day holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any similar medi- cine in the country, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass, from women who have been cured from almost every form of female complaints, inflammation, ul- ceration, ,displacements fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration. Every such suffering woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial
 If you would like special advice about your case write a cOnfiden- tial letter to Mrs. Pfnl<ham, at Hymn, Mass. Her advice is free, and always helpful.

Pleasant for Mr. Bennett.

William S. Bennett, a representa- tive from New York city, went to 2d- dress a political meeting in his dis trict one night, when he was much younger than he is now
 The chairman said Bennett, was a very literal person. He looked at the gallery, where one woman was sit ting, and said: Lady and gentlemen, this is most momentous campaign. There are grave issues to be dis cussed. Later we will hear from our best speakers, but, for the present, we will listen to Mr Bennett"

ON FOOD The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of health. People can eat improper food for time until there is a sudden col lapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follows.
 The proper way out of the difficulty is to shift to the pure, scientific food. Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire woman says:
 Last summer 1 was suddenly taken with indigestion and severe stomach trouble and could not eat food with out great pain, my stomach was so sore l could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living.
 Then a friend finally, after much argument, induced me to quit my for mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
 Although I had but little faith I commenced to use it, and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it without the usual pain and distress in my stomach.
 So l kept on using Grape-Nuts and soon marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was perform ing it's regular work in a normal way without pain or distress.
 Very soon the yellow coating disap- peared from my tongue, the dull, heavy feeling in my head disappeared, and my mind felt light an2 clear. the languid, tired feeling left, and alto gethcr I felt as if I had been rebuilt. Strength and weight came back rapid ly and I went back to my work with renewed ambition.
 To-day I am new woman in mind as well as body, and 1 owe it all to this natural food, Grape-Nuts.' '' There's a Reason

Good for Fourteen Years.

I have used cream separator for 1A years, and it is doing the work all right today, writes G. w. Folk, in the Journal of Agriculture. Some repairs have been made on it during this time. I also have Babcock tester and have had for three years, and keep watch of my cows and my separator. If a herd has been thoroughly tested, it is only necessary to test such cows as you may buy, or young cows coming in. The separator should be tested once in while to see that it is doing clean work It is not necessary for every man having separator to have a tester. He can take sample of the skinned milk to the creamery CT the skim station once in while and have it tested with but very little expense

FertiIizing Land.

It has been found by practical ex- perience that properly fertilized land will continue to grow large crops of hay for many years. Prof. Vorhees says that an acre at the New Jersey experiment station has been treated to 100 pounds of sulphate of potash, 100 pounds bone and 50 pounds nj trate of soda, each year since 1890. This acre yielded one ton of hay in 1880. In 1908 it yielded three tons

Alfred East says that American women, like American machines, need but little man power. The American woman, he says, is the most chum- mable woman in the world, therefore she is the most charming.
