SHOWED WHERE HIS MIND WAS
Uncle BiIly's Question Proved That Sick Horse Was Uppermost in
 His Thoughts.

William said Aunt Ann Skiles to her husband, after the supper dishes had been cleared away, lets go and hear the lecture tonight" Uncle Billy had forgotten that there was lecture, and when he was reminded that a re turned missionary was going to tell all about India at the church he did not seem over-enthusiastic.
 'I oughtn't to go anywhere to- night" grumbled Uncle Billy. q ought to be factoring my sick horse"
 Well, you're not doing it, and you're not likely to do it. Get ready and go.'
 Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the re- turned missionary said:
 T will wait a few minutes now for the purpose of answering any ques- tions that interested persons in the audience may wish to ask"
 For half a minute nobody spoke Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and the astonishment of the congregation Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. l lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, l would have to scratch it until had the blood running down into my shoe. 1 simply cannot describe my suffer ing during those seven years. The pain, modification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescrib- able on paper and one has to expe- rience it to know what it is.
 T tried all kinds of doctors and rem my money down sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given sp hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti- cura Remedies trial After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti- cura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment, the trouble had entirely disap- peared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recur- renee I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, SIP E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. and Apr. 13, 1909."

Farmers Educational II and Coo Operative
 \ Union of America
Matters gf Especial Moment to J the Progressive Agriculturist

Money invested in land cannot be easily lost.
 A knowledge of the way is a good part of the journey; study the way.
 A kindness done to the good is never lost. It may return after many days to help you.
 II We give the truth a chance it will always take care of us and save money bitter heartburning.
 Many farmers who do not live in the arid belt, had an opportunity to practice "dry farming last season.
 California fruit growers were at the mercy of commission men until they organized. Now they get fair prices.
 Resting does not mean to sit down and not even think. Some people try and call it resting.
 The farmer who plays fair with his wife sees that things are as convent ent and labor saving in the kitchen as they are about the fields and the barns.
 There have been SC many plans talked up by different lecturers that the membership are not to be blamed for taking one of their own and work ing up to it. Where every speaker has plan, one plan is just as good as another.
 The intelligent farmer in the south may not be making all that he is en- titled to make out of the soil, but his material condition is far better to-day than it was ten years ago. In the cotton belt the farmer would be still more prosperous if he raised more corn.
 Everybody looks 10 the farmer to supply the material to make the world move, but everybody turns him cold shoulder when they have possession of his products. He must fix it so that they will want his products all the time and get it only when he lets them have it.

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
 OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued in- structions to throw open 1,400 600 acres of land in Eastern Montana to white settlers.
 This land was withdrawn about two years ago for the purpose of allotting to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract contains the very choicest lands in Valley County and wherever farming has been carried on, it has produced yields of from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels of oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa and vegetables.
 There are over 5000 160-acre home steads in this tract, which is con siderable more than the combined total in the Flathead, Spokane and Occur d'Alene Reservations, which were opened to settlement last summer.

FARMER SHOULD JOIN UNION
Anything Else Under the Sun, Says Arkansas Man.

I am a Farmers Union man, and why all farmers don't join is a mys- tery to me. When we started this great organization there were lots of farmers said: 'I am in sympathy with you all and will join it as soon as I see 1t is doing good" Now, brother farm CTS, you are bound to go back on your word or help fight this battle, writes R. Hardin of Holland, Ark, in Go Operator. We have made thousands, yes, millions of dollars to the south, but can multiply this fact if all will help fight for our rights. That is all that we want. Have we got that? I say no. Why have we not got it? The bankers caused a panic in "A hours. Why was that so quickly done? Just simply because they were organized as close as they were. Now, let us SUD- pose we would organize as close as they were. we would burst every panic in a week or less. Come now farmers all who are locking on and doing nothing to help us in this struggle. Ask your self, Is it right for us to get all this benefit and not do a hands turn? I think sure you will say mo, mo-" I am ashamed have been benefited so much as have and fought against our in terests. want to tell you you can't say yol have never been benefited, and it is cewardly shame for the farmers to let every other class do more than we do. When we first have the weapon in our hands and throw it down, we will sup sorrow, just as sure as we don't stick. We will regret the day we failed to do it. Farmers ask yourselves if the world is organized? You are bound to say yes. Then ask yourselves who is it against the farmers? Of course then is it reasonable that we can win the victory with a popgun when cannon is in front of us! I think not hear farmers say: T can raise cotton at ten cents" Poor fellow, he needs double dose of education in the Farmers union Farmers is it right for you to keep up four drones that don't work a lick? You are doing this as sure as you live. Now let us sup pose awhile Say farmer had phone in his house and wagon manufac- turer 400 miles away had the other end of the phone line, can't you talk through to him? Yes, of course. We'll, is there good sense in paying four oth- CT men double OUT profit to set be- tween us and this wagon factory and tell us what we can get a wagon for, or anything elsef say no, no. But we have done this so long some think we would not understand what the factory man would say. I know, farmer, if you did understand what us union men are doing and what we can do. you /nIslld join us if we had two bull dogs
 .d at the door, so come right along, Farmers, and join your organization. It win do you good and your children. There is more education in it than anything under the sun.

The Fiqht Against Tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tubereulosis cam paign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu- berculosis associations were formed, 133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit- als were established, and 91 tubercu- losis dispensaries were opened. Com pared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country
 During the year 1909, 43 more asso- citations for the prevention of tubercu. losis were formed than during the pre- vious 12 months, and 62 more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ- ations, 3S6 hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis dispenSaries.
