ADVANTAGES OF COOPERATION.

The farmers of the Pacific Coast are
leaders in the cooperative marketing of
their products While the fruit and truck
growers of the South and East are gen
orally unorganized and employing anti
quated, demoralizing marketing methods
which is costing them in the aggregate
millions of dollars every year, the West
enr growers are we'll organized and con-
trolling the fancy trade in the worlds
markets. AS an illustration the follow
ing is credited to an official concerning
the organization last year of poultry
and egg marketing association at Pela-
tonia, Cal, and it's results:
"Starting in business without cent of
capital on March 2, 1908, in two months
time we built up business of $1,000 a
day. We are now the largest wholesale
egg house on the Pacific coast. We make
the price of eggs in San Francisco. With
our output of about 600 cases per day we
can smash the San Francisco market any
time. We can also stiffen up prices by
diverting a few carloads to some other
market. In this association only the
actual cost of selling the goods is de-
Quoted from the receipts. In the old
way of selling, your produce paid the
selling expenses, the interest on capital
invested and good profit besides profit
to buy automobiles, play the races, etc.
The West is prosperous and successful
largely because everybody co-operates in
doing things, while we of this section
allow our petty jealousies and narrow
mided prejudices to govern our actions
and prevent successful cooperation. In
consequence we fail to realize as much
for our products as we might. Why not
profit by the experience of others and
abandon our demoralizing marketing
methods?

STATE FAIR AND EXPOSITION.

According to published reports the
State Fair at Tampa and the Exposition
Fair at Jacksonville, which are now in
progress, are proving more successful
this year than heretofore, both in the
character of the exhibits and in the at
tendance. It is somewhat unfortunate
that they are being held at the same
time, and it is to be hoped that this will
not occur again.
Neither is as complete and attractive
as if held at different times, for many
of the counties that would like to be
represented at both are not able to pre-
pare two sets of exhibits. Then the at
tendance would be better if held at diff
ferent times.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01

It is our purpose to print what our
readers want to know. IF we do not
please call our attention to the fact, and

LONG DELAY IN

H. F, White, who has in charge the
assigning Of lands to the inhabitants
of the Klamath Indian reservation,
has issued n statement showing the
causes for delay in completing the al
lotments. Since coming to the Kla-
math reservation more than a year
ago his chief work has been to compile
a family history Of the allottees. Mar
rlages have been a matter Of conven,
ience among the Indians, this was a
difficult task and required several
months Of close application This
history is required by the government
in order TO make legal disposition of
the inherited lands In addition to
this work many complications arose.
Old allotments were found irregular
and had to be adjusted. Surveys had
to he made for new ones and thorough
examination had to be made OF every
application for an allotment so that
lands would be given only to those
who are entitled to them. Further
delay will be caused on account Of the
necessity Of new surveys, and also
to assign lands to Captain Jacks
band who are to return from Oklaho-

BIBLE A FETCH.
Rabbi Declares Ministers of Today
Apologize for Holy Book.

Chicago a large num-
ber of preachers of today make OF
the Bible a fetch, they must be con-
stantly apologizng for it, They must
try to justify the actions of God when
he issues commands to extermnate

foe A God of love would never issue
such a command"
Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber in his
sermon in X. A. NJ. temple, thus re-
ferring indirectly to the recent editor
ial in the Biblical World, continued as
follows:
"A God of love would not condemn
whole class of people to psrditlon

tain dogmas of the church No hu-
man being would consign infants to
eternal damnation because they had
not been initiated into the church ac-
cording to prescribed doctrine. And

certainly a God of love would not be
guilty of doing

ality. 1t is not a scientific treatise.
"The sun did not stand still to salts
fy the desires of Joshua. God has i'm
planted eternal laws in nature, and
not even he himself can break in up
on or suspend these laws. 1t is about
time that the church and the syna-
gogue were laying aside these anti
quated, childish notions. 1t is because
they refuse to listen to the newer dis
closures in the domain of science that
they are losing their hold on the peo-
pie. Let them continue along these

write Ichabod across the portals of
their sanctuaries, for their glory will

THE majority of those who eat In
dining cars" he said, "eat about one
or two meals on a train each year.
Many of them have more money than
brains and are perfectly able to pay
tip, and would do so whether the
company ruled against it or not. Any
discussion of the subject or any at
tempt at such rules only puts our
business in a turmoil.

courage to offer a fee on a ten per

Reclusc With Peculiar Habits, Re-

Calcutta.-From Bangalore comes
the strange story Of a German re-
cluse, named Kaspar Schieffmayer,
who lived alone in a village near st.
Johns Hill, and was found dead in
his room, having succumbed to a
neglected attack of bronchitis Mr..
Schieffmayer came to India 30 years
ago as a specialist in agriculture for
the government of Madras, but as the
climate did not suit him he resigned
the appointment. Proceeding to
Bangalore, he purchased 40 acres and
never left the estate even temporarily
for the rest Of his life. He occupied
room about eight feet square, the
only articles in 1t being a cot, a chair
and a few cooking utensils. His
food consisted of milk and eggs and
a loaf of bread supplied him daily,
and the one coole whom he employ
ed was always sent away before sun
set.
A valuable stock Of cows and pigs
and some savage bull terriers were, in
fact, all the companions of his life.
His peculiar habits developed to such
a pitch that he gave up wearing cloth
ing, except when obliged to see such
rare visitors as came on business. This
eccentric way Of life was attributed to
an early love trouble, which was be-
lleved to have turned the unfortunate
agriculturist into a recluse and a
world hater.
A few months before his death a
letter was forwarded to him from
the German consul at Madras, to in
form him that he had come into a |
