Poor Pastures.

Poor pastures do not pay for the
reason that It is to the interest Of
the farmer that his cows secure an
abundance Of food at the least cost.
The animals should not be compelled
to work for their food on the pasture
BY tramping the ground in the search
for grass. AS soon as pasture does
not supply an abundance the cattle
should be taken off and fed on green
food at the barn, as they will fall Of
in milk II the supply Of food on the
pasture fails.

LIVING I'm COO PERATIvE AGE
Thousands Of Ways In Which Farmer
Can Be Benefited by Forming
Local ORGANIZATIONS.

We are living in an age Of co-opera'
ton and it is beneficial so long as its
legitimate functions are adhered to-.
All trades and professions are more
inclined to the cooperative idea than
farming and there is where the knight
Of the soil makes a mistake. There
are a thousand ways In which farm
ers can be benefited by forming local
cooperative associations, concerning a
given territory, and holding meetings
at stipulated times, not too far apart,
says Farm and Orchard. The farmer
is penny wise and pound foolish who
Is not willing to leave his field half
day occasionally to mingle and ex'
change ideas with his fellows.
Smith, Jones and Brown each needs
harvester. Three machines can be
bought proportionately cheaper than
one and the transportation charges
will also be less. Each may have for
sale small crop of wheat. The guam
tity owned by one is not sufficient to
Justify looking for the best market
advantages, but put the three crops to-
gether and they can be marketed
Jointly to the benefit Of all three and
with no more effort than would be re-
quired to dispose of the holdings Of
! one. The same holds good In the pur-
chase Of all kinds Of seeds, fertilizers,
live stock and farm implements Of al
kinds, as we'll as In the marketing Of
everything produced on the farm.
There are different pieces Of ma
chinery that might be owned and used
Jointly by farmers and in that way
represent but small outlay by each.
There Is no subject In which farm
ers and rural jewellers generally
should be more interested than In the
construction and maintenance Of good
roads. Take a road over which one
ton only can be hauled to market with
a two-horse team, improve it so as to
be able to haul two tons with the
| LCd1l, dAu IuO uAoLduNO W u1oA
ket has been reduced by ons-half. The
extra tax required for road improve
ment is mere bagatelle compared to
the advantages the good roads will
afford.
The feeders Of public roads are pri
vate roads, and several farmers may
often use and enjoy the same private
right Of way and keep it in repair al
their joint expense. Aside from ali
the considerations sounding In dol
lars and cents. 1t is the pleasure Of so
! cial intercourse and personal friend
ship resulting from It in the country
In the coming together Of men fol
one common purpose. The selfish
narrow.minded Individual who wants
TO live entirely to himself and fol
himself IL a. curse to himself, and x
i the whole human family.

Sheep Parasites.

Internal parasites are the worst enc.
mics Of sheep, and the stomach worm
is perhaps the worst OF these. Any
ground long pastured with infested
sheep will become infested with these
parasites. Prevention Is better than
cure. Change pastures often, and
pasture as much as possible in stub
BILE fields and other fields that have
been In cultivation. Especially pasture
the ewes and lambs in clean pasture.
In the fields that have been cultivated
the parasites have been killed off.

I Fatted Flesh.

The reason why fatted flesh Is bet
ter than unfatted is that globules Of
fat are distributed throughout the
2 muscles, displacing to a considerable
degree the moisture found therein.
The bulk Is not only therefore In
creased, but also when the flesh is
cooked the fat does not evaporate to
the same extent as water. but, melt.
Ing, softens the tissue. making It more
digestible and finer In favor.

QUILTING Supper.

The president Of a Ladies' Aid ar
ranged this interesting meeting at her
country home. The society had q
large order for comforters, so they
combined work with pleasure. Invita-
tons were sent out for "tufting
bee," the frames we're sent out and
everything was ready for work on the
large piazza when the guests arrived.
The hours were from three to seven"
At "early candle light" supper was
served. The table centerpiece was
a log cabin made Of twigs and there
were bread sticks, cheese straws,
candy sticks arranged in log cabin
style at the corners Of the table.
Lights were not necessary, but there
were quaint brass candle sticks on
the table in which the hostess lit
candles. She had potato salad, hot
baking powder biscuit, ginger bread,
delicious apple sauce chilled, iced tea
and coffee, old-fashioned sponge cake
and homemade candy.

PLANS FOR HANDLING GRAIN
Farmers' Union In Washington and
Panhandle Of Idaho to Seli
Crop Through Agents.

Ona Of the most important moves to
be made by the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union during the
present year, according to stats Presi-
asat L. 9. Cspw, is the distrfcttng q
9ttae warehouses owned &or leased BY
aas uniost, yhs gland ssur5alietioR.
wniaa comprises Washington and the
paahaRdle OF IDAHO.
The idea 10. to form ave or SIX dis.
triota, with central selling agency In
each district, the agency to be To-
Gated Ia the commercial center Of the
district. The central agency In each
district will be In close touch with
the coast agency, and the manager Of
each warehouse In the district will In
turn be kept advised of conditions Of
the grain market through the central
agency.
The central agencies in the five or
SIX districts will have control Of the
entire warehouse system Of the union.
Each agency will have control Of the
warehouses In Its territory, while the
heads of agencies will form board
of directors.
Where the locals do not, or cannot,
own or operate warehouse the mem.
bers will store their grain in the old
line houses and mark 1t, reporting to
their local secretary as to the amount
stored, who, In turn, reports to the
central agency in the district.
The warehouse business, as handled
BY the union during the last year, has
been successful beyond expectation
and has saved the farmers no. little
money. Much Of the grain held until
prives advanced was held In union
warehouses and under advice Of lead
ers in the union, who were keeping
In close touch with conditions through
the agency on the coast.

Cultivate Rose Bushes.

When the rose bushes are in the
soil and have started growth, give
them good, clean cultivation during
the summer to keep the surface soil
worked fine with rake, or mulch the
soil with lawn clippings or other litter
to hold moisture in the soil and to
KEEP the roots Of the bushes cool.

Amusing Way to Choose Partners.

Amusing Way to Choose Partners.
A clever way to ask the men to Sc
feet partners is to ask each girl to
bring the earliest picture Of herself
obtainable. The pictures are number
ed, the hostess having list Of each
name opposite the number so when
the time comes for making revelations
she can do 1t quickly and with certain
ty. Just before time for the game or
refreshments for which partners are
