FARMERS USE MORE COTTON.
Every Member of the Union Should Endeavor to Make Its Usage
 Universal.

There should be a universal resolve by every member of the union to use nothing but cotton sacks, rope and other manufactured material in which cotton predominates as a basis. Don talk about it, but go to work and do it, says the National Co-Operator. See your merchants and ask them to sup ply themselves with manufactured goods with cotton woven into it. Let your wives and daughters proceed to bGmbard the merchants and after you have asked them to do this (the mer- chants and ginners), why see that they do it or only patronize those that do. Get the union label placed on all cotton stuffs that you use and get after your town union brother and let him prove his faith by his works by asking for cotton goods, when he buys sacks, rope, etc. Cooperate in this matter. Write letters to the Farmers unions in the grain growers sections and in the districts of Cali fornia, where the members of the Farmers union are struggling to sell their raisins and other products for better profit than they are now get ting.
 By cooperating in this way you can do more good than all the mass meet ings held by the few at best, and will soon convince the merchants, gin ners and warehouse and elevator men that use sacks, rope, etc, that you mean business and that it will be prudent to listen to what you say and comply in so far as they can to yonr requests before they become de- mands and cause them trouble. Let the Co-Operator know what you are doing and the paper will surely CO., operate with you along the line. It is all very well to write about CO., operation and what it will do for the farmers, but one months active syS- tematic, progressive work among yourselves, with the aid of your pa- pers, will accomplish very much more. Theoretical cooperation is good, but practical application of the theories to your everyday business, getting as many of your non-union neighbors on the farms and the organized labor of the cities to act with you in your ef- forts to bring about the practical re- suits that you want, will beat it so bad that theory without application will be distanced in the race.
 The county union of Brazos county has adopted resolutions of this char l acter and has resolved to act up to 1 them, which is putting the theory where the members can faithfully put it into practice. Get to work, union people, and show the non-union world that you are men who, knowing your wants, are determined to have them supplied by your own work and eff forts

ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest.
 An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study va. rious foods and their effects upon the { human system. In other words, be- fore he could carry out his plans he had to find food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength
 He knew that a food which was brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem
 Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous Aoou. IL COuldluS lLC DTdIn ana nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion.
 The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi. ness and marked activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a Ps6Hfe Ure to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
 Grape-Nuts food is in no sense stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves.
 Its favour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream
 The signature of the brain worker spoken of, c. ". Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.

Real Pleasures of Home.


 The editor and family, like many thousands of other farmers families, desire to enjoy the comforts and joys of home life. Like the others, we have music and social pleasures, with out having to go to town for them. Our daughters have piano and three of them handle it creditably, one skill fully. Although poor, we Tive at home and board at the same place."
 This is said not boastfully, but by way of familiar illustration, to show that many thousands of farmers are furnishing their families with the real pleasures of home life, so far as their financial ability will permit. Farmers and their families have the aesthetic tastes to live like cultured people, and are beginning to gratify the taste more and more, as their abilities in- crease.
 A few more years of successful work on the farm and and through tine Farmers union ought to place farmers and their families where they belong, in the front rank of real culture and refinement Then our children will not want to leave the farm.-Union Farmer.

Look Backward, Then Forward.

No longer than two years ago the big daily and weekly papers laughed at the Farmers union and refused to give space in their columns to letters, meeting dates, etc. They called the union a fake and the members fools. Look at 'em now, men. They are holding out their hands and i'm ploring the union for news, news, news. Nothing is too good for the union 'now-but while back nothing was too bad. Why? Because they realize that the union farmers are the class that make up the backbone of the south-the actual 'tillers of the soil" They realize that these are the men who drive old Beck" and make this southland of ours the great country it is. If the south depended upon the rich plantations owners with their droves of negro blow hands she would go into bankruptcy.
 Take hitch in your belts, men, and press forward. Don't lose heart. The Farmers union is growing in numbers and power every day. Time was when the bankers and merchants paid no attention to you They are doing it today, however, and the req son is not hard to learn.
 One union man wrote us a fine letter recently. He said that he didn't believe it was because some of the members were weak kneed." He said the trouble was in the brain and heart and the legs lead them where the heart and brain commanded. This is true. There's nothing the matter with the knees. It's the brain and heart-Union Farmer

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have Felt Funny Sitting in the
 Position Indicated.

The family horse, who rejoiced in the eminently proper equine name of Dobbin, had earned rest by long service, and was accordingly sent away to the country to spend his de- clining years in the broad pastures of a farmer friend of his owner. The distance being somewhat excessive for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to his new home by rail.
 Little Edna, the family four-year-old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with un- feigned sorrow. She sat for long time gazing disconsolately out of the window. At last, after deep sigh, she turned with a more cheerful ex- pression, and said:
 Did old Dobbln go on the choo- choo cars, mamma" ?"
 Yes, dear answered her mother.
 A broad grin spread over the little girls face. T was just thinking" she said, "how funny he must feel sitting up on the plush cushions.-Woman's Home Companion

Storing Hubbard Squash.

Prof. Stuart of the Vermont expert. ment station stored, on October 3, one ton of Hubbard squashes, fresh from the field, in dry room, with tenn perature varying from 50 to 60 de. grees. After four months, on Feb. ruary 3, the squashes were examined and weighed. There were left 1,48S pounds of sound squashes, showing a moisture loss of POS per cent. and a loss from decay of AS per cent. These particular squashes sold at much higher price than they would have earlier in the season, and thus GOV. cred the storage loss and gave big. ger profit than would have been other. wise secured.-Country Gentleman.

Planting Fruit Trees.

That the elaborate care usually taken in planting fruit trees is a waste of labor is indicated by the last report of the Woburn experimental fruit farm in England. It is common ly thought necessary to prepare a large, shallow hole spreading out the roots in all directions and arranging them near the surface with slight upward turn at the ends, and then sitting in the soil with many precau- tions. This method of planting was tried, with that of crowding the roots into small holes and ramming down the earth. The experiments were made not only at Woburn, but at Harpen. den, Bedford and other places, and 59 per cent. of the sets showed in favor of ramming, 27 per cent showed no difference and only IA per cent. were against ramming.

DREADFUL DANDRUFF.
Girls Head Encrusted-Feared Loss of All Her Hair-Baby Had Milk Crust Missionary's Wife Made
Two Perfect Cures by Cuticura.

For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry at- mosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughters scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair. After trying various rem edies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuti- cura Ointment They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a con- plete success. I have also used suc- cessfully the Cuticura Remedies for so,called 'milk-crust' on baby's head. Cuticura is blessing. Mrs. J. A. Darling, BIO Fifth St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 190S."

MAKING UP RIGHT QUANTITY.
President Taft's WiIIful Misinterpre. tation of Little Girls Intended
 Naughty Rebuke.

President Taft is fond of children, with whom he is favorite A charm ing story on this head comes from Gin cinnati
 Once, when a pretty Cincinnati girl aas 6 child of six or seven, MT. Taft, calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She enter tained him a little while, and when he rose to go, he stopped down and kissed her.
 Here's one," he said, flor the baby, Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie-boy."

FARMER IS MAN OF THE HOUR
Occupation of AgricuIturist Now Prop. erly Recognized as One of
 the Professions.

The farmer who is not an amateur is a really increasing factor in to- days life. In fact, farming is rapidly becoming one of the professions. We have our agricultural schools just as we have our law schools
 It is getting to be a business as well. Farmers have their trust, like other manufacturers.
 It is a far cry from the New Eng land farmer, trying to arrange an eX ploded granite quarry into a stone wall that he may have room in which to plant his crop, and that master of capital, science, and black earth ten feet deep who blows with traction engine and reaps with a ten-horse team. And between these two types of farmers the drift is steadily toward the latter
 The comic paper does not laugh at the granger" as frequently as it used to laugh It wants his subscrip- tion.
 The capitalist does not foreclese mortgages on the prairie farm now lie borrows money off it's owner.
 And, what is vastly more important the entire country looks with a re- spect bordering upon apprehension on this new type of American who has decided views on railroads, trusts, and, in fact, on every subject, from the green bug" to the lecturer at his chautauqua. This rise of the farmer into national significance is welcome in view of the inundation of great cities by immigrants who have sig nificance only en masse.
 The farm is the nursery of indi- vidualism. If you are cliff dweller in the city send your boy there this summer and let him see what it means to create wealth with the help of nature rather than with the ticker. You will help make him a better American.-The World To-day Maga- zine.

 Because your case is difficult enc, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- flammation, alteration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but trifle to try it, and the result is worth Inil- lions to many suffering women.

A certain young minister in Phila- delphia, recently ordained, is still very nervous and sometimes his remarks do not convey exactly the meaning he intended A few Sundays ago he rose, fumbled with the papers on his desk, blushed, and then said:

Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America

Whatever promotes the interests ot the farmer helps all trades and pro | fessions.
 Now is the time to begin to think about the selling end of your farm business.
 What to grow, how to grow it, and how to sell it are three things which the farmer should study if he desires to succeed.
 Don't go to your merchant for ad vice as to the best way to sell your cotton. Put that matter in the hands of your union.
 The member of the union who sim ply pays his dues and lets it go at that is mighty poor material, and the one that does neither ought to be worked over.
 The man who deals in futures does not produce anything, nor does he add to the value of that which is pro duced He is simply parasite on so ciety, exacting toll from both the pro lueer and the consumer. A(SN and clothing for the world he is a very important factor in society, bul .or the fact in past ages he has been an industrial slave he has never yet come to the full measure of his tights, but he's coming.
 The Farmers Union of Texas had a committee to camp with the legisla ture during the session of that body By hard pulling they secured the pas sage of a few laws in the interest of the farmers, but not all that were needed. Too many lawyers was the trouble
 The question as to who or whaI started the panic is still in the air but there is little doubt but what the railroad magnates took advantage oi it to vent their spleen on the people to show their resentment for the pas sage of laws regulating freight ant passenger rates.
 The colossal fortunes built up be tween the producer and consumer represent in large degree illegiti mate toll laid upon the products O the farms, and so well organized are all those who levy toll that nothing less than the most effective organiZa ton will loosen thir grasp upon the toilers of the land. Many of these in terests are fortified behind laws grant ing special privileges which enable thefn to tax the public without mercy

Hospitals a Benefit to Property.

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has recently concluded an investiga- tion, which shows that 67.5 per cent. of the tuberculosis sanatoria and hos pitals of the United States have been a benefit to the property and health of the communities in which they are located. In the case of more than 62 per cent. of the sanatoria the presence of the institutions has helped to in crease the assessed value of surround ing property.

 Not" appended MT. Carnegie, that I object to international marriages wherein the two parties are good and honorable and well matched. But so many of these marriages are like one that a Boston cynic described to me.
 "'Was it happy marriage?' asked this Bostonian
 "'Oh, quite,' said he. The bride was happy, her mother was over joyed Lord Lacland was in ec- stacies, and his creditors, I under stand, were in state Of absolutely endless and uncomfortable bliss.

Money is the idol of weak brains To use money for what it was in. tended, as a medium for the exchange of commodities, makes it a blessing to intelligent people.

Old John l.. Sullivan always had a fine Irish wit, and it remains with him in his advanced age. Not long ago he was appearing in Baltimore theater and the manager, for business req sons, introduced him to a wealthy youth of the town. The youth was a typical chollyboy, the sort of a speci- men that old John abhors. Sullivan was washing his face in the theater dressing room when the two arrived and they waited patiently until he had finished his ablutions. When John had dried his countenance he gave the dude one look, and then said to the manager: Well, congratulate you, Jack, is it boy or a girl?"
