LABOR OF BUSINESS AGENT
neously-Mcre and Better Eou- cation Is Needed.

Did you ever think of it, brother, that there are two ends to the Golden Rule handstick, and it requires an even pull on both sides to elevate and balance accounts according to equity and justice.
 Brethren, always examine the goods carefully you have shipped by railroad before taking them out of the station. If they are damaged in part and you are willing to take them, have the railroad agent endorse on the freight bill you pay the word damaged" By doing this you have a document in the freight bill that enables you or the merchant who ships you the goods to recover damages, writes J. L. Collins in the Union Advocate. Many of our brethren fume and froth at the busi- ness agent enormously, that is to say, for want of better evidence than imag- mary conclusion. When what they or der is not forthcoming in jiffy they suppose (judging from the way some of them write) that the business agent Is holding their money for sinister motive They don't seem to compre- hend the methods 1 have to do busl- ness under; however, if they will SUCK to their job in patronizing through the agency, in the course of five years the education they will receive will be or great benefit to them in commercial sense This is what we all need, more education and better education, and IS the only way we will ever be able to handle our own affairs in way that will be satisfactory. The truth of the matter is that we have let the other fellow, or the business world, so to speak, measure out of the product our toll has honestly created, preda- tory harvest unto himself and his household while we have borne the burden in the heat of the day pro
 ducing yet neglecting the business end, or running along in slip-shod way, taking just what the business world was disposed to give for our products and giving them wholesome profit for whatever merchandise we had to buy from them. So they make it both going and coming and we need never to expect a change until we or ganize thoroughly and begin to look out for self and family My theory the spectators that stand between us and the manufacturer, for he always leans to the side of the manufacturer
 This is but natural. for he is virtually in his employ. They talk about the Farmers union killing the bulls in tn 1 cotton exchange, their best friend they say. Then if this be true why not ou best friend get into our order and help fight for working on legitimate lines instead of wanting to gamble on that game in which the farmer has to furnish the stakes, but has no say in conducting the game.
 One brother writes and wants to know if we need stamps to send
 bills of lading. Yes, brother. and somebody to address the envelopes If all matters were properly re- corded. fled answered and mailed, it would keep at least three efficient rvants constantly employed to clean up the daily accumulation of business in the business agents office.

MUCH GOOD IN COOPERATION
System Brings Farmers Together, As sures a Square Deal and Main
 tains Steady Market.

A year ago the farmers of Ham mond La, orgeoized a cooperative milk-selling association. Hammond was the chief supplier of milk for New Orleans. When the dealers proposed to reduce the price to 20 per cent. the association objected and at the end of negotiations it was unanimously de- ctded to set up their own city pasteur- izing, bottling and distributing, writes N. o. Nelson in the Southern Culti- vator. On their joint responsibility they borrowed the large capital re- quired at per cent. interest, to be paid by 71a per cent of the milk. They maintained the former price and soon secured the largest business in the city.
 The dealers were compelled to pay the same price and to look up new sources of supply. This and the activ- ity of the cooperation plant has given a great impetus to dairying. Many To- calities which had never shipped any milk have been walked up to the profit ableness of dairying.
 The cooperative association has formed local associations agreeing to sell together for two years and of course they ship to the cooperation. There have also been formed credit societies, made up of 15 to 20 farmers, who on their joint responsibility bor- row money. buy carloads of COWS and sell at auction to the members. The cows are paid for in milk at $350 or $500 a month per COW, the society owning the cows until paid for. The milk must be shipped to the co-opera- ton, which hold out the monthly pay credit society The profit on the re- sale of the cows belongs to the soci- ety, which thus accumulates it's own capital. Creame-ies are organized in the same way. The state health board and the agricultural college have joined in pushing dairying in the state. The cooperative plan gives the move ment stability, it brings the farmers together, it assures a square deal, and maintains a steady market.
 Georgia should initiate Louisiana. It needs getting together, some energetic leading spirits, devotion and disinter- estedness. Most of all it needs to stick to the unimpaired cooperative plan, not corporation wherein the capital controls and takes the profit, but an association in which one man counts the same as another and each one gets all the proceeds of what he supplies.

TASTY DINNER DISHES
MAKING AN ELABORATE SPREAD
 IS SERIOUS ERROR.
Select Dishes That Can Be Easily and Quickly Made by Home Cook ana Rob Dinner Giving of
 Terrors.

Dinner giving-that desirable form 1f entertainment-need not be consld- cred difficulty even by woman who has but one servant if dishes which can be easily and quickly made by the nome cook are selected.
 The idea that to invite more than one person to dinner necessitates an elaborate spread is a serious error for such an entertainment means prevl- ous work on the part of the hostess and if coupled with certainty that the maid cannot serve the meal properly ends to prevent enjoyment and brings general feeling of relief when the meal is over.
 1 Moreover, unless all details can be executed and are in accord with ones usual way of living an elaborate din ler becomes ostentatious, than which nothing is worse form. The art of en- .ertaining is to give enjoyment by having persons within ones home, and unless they are made comfortable and at ease the purpose fails com- Dletely.
 A dinner for six or eight persons will fill all the requirements of formal entertaining if the menu consists of soup, an entree or fish; a roast with vegetables, a salad, followed by des- sert. Coffee may be served afterward n the sitting room.
 Such a menu is not beyond the pow ar of a simple cook, for soups may be bought ready made, fish or tempt ng but not elaborate entree may be prepared previously by the hostess, if dish that can be warmed over at the required time of serving is chosen.
 A roast and vegetables should offer no difficulties, and if the cook cannot compass a salad it, like the entree, may be prepared previously by the hostess and put on plates ready for the dressing, which the cook can pour over when wanted.
 Nothing is simpler than to buy des- sert, and coffee any one can make.
 There is never any reason. because l woman does her own cooking, that the serving of food shall not be at tractive. It takes little if any longer to decorate a dish with a few leaves iof parsley or to drop a flower into each finger bowl, if the housekeeper is so fortunate as to have a garden.
 Pretty dishes cost no more than plain ones, and it is not a waste ot time, but refining to make a dinner or lunch table decorative.

Farmers Educational T1 and Co-Operative
 Il Union of America

A good start is not so much good If you don't keep going.
 Worry is simply trying to live two days at time-one Is enough.
 Don't measure your success by the amount of money you can jingle.
 Lying down on ones job Is a quick way to become open for an other.
 Don't worry about the market; raise what you eat and eat what you raise Sell the surplus.
 The successful farmer laughs at ob- stacles because he believes that he is superior to them.
 Agriculture, manual training and gardening should be given place in every rural school course.
 Isolation, hard work, and small compensation Is too often the lot of the farmers wives. These are bur dens that need lifting.
 Baby pigs squeal for the same req son that human babies do. There Is something the matter with both of them, and 1t Is your duty to find the trouble and correct it.
 When you persist in doing two mems work, you shorten your days, and enchance the chances of your ehil- dren for a step-father.
 Just because one has made good many mistakes is no reason for his getting In the habit. The way to sue cess is to profit by our mistakes.
 The farmer that refuses to adopt successful ideas Is in such an ad- vanced stage of decomposition that the undertaken can do nothing for him.
 If some farmers put as much money into feed for their farm pigs as they do to support the blind pigs in town their families might have more to eat and wear better clothes.
 There is always best way of do ing things on the farm, but it often takes study to find it. The result is worth the effort. If some one else is getting better results than you are, find the reason.

SAVED OLD LkDY'S HAIR

My mother used to have very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it l had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, Aunt, why don't you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment?' Mother did and they helped her In six months time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. To- day she feels much in debt to Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four.
 My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then 1 thought 1 would flee to my mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. 1 did for four or five winters, and now my feet are as smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun ham, Hiram, Me, Sept. 30, 1909.''

Lookinq Toward Better Poultry.

It is probable that some farmers will never raise pure-bred poultry. But there Is no good reason why they should not have a flock of pure-bred fowls. A coop of nice birds of one breed and color will always bring a little more in the market, other things being equal, than a coop of mixed breeds. The infusion of new blood by the use of pure-bred males is a good way to start and does not in volve a large outlay of money. Then, by getting eggs from reputable breed CTS. a farmer may sofE nave a flock of birds to be proud of, and these will be found much more profitable than scrub or even crossbred stock.

Feather Pulling.

The trouble with your chickens is not a disease, but a so-called bad hab- it which is frequently observed in poul- try yards during the late winter and early spring, says a writer in Balti' more American in answer to a query, Many people believe it to be duo to idleness in the flock, and they rec ommend exercise as the cure. There is a good deal in this, and flocks have been helped by being obliged tc scratch in straw or leaves for the greater part of their food that is their grain food The cause, however is not so much lack of exercise as lack of salt in their food. Idle fowls will pull the feathers from one an, others necks and get a little flavor of the salt in the soft part at the base of the feather. This taste prompts continued pulling. and often the fowls necks are bare almost their flu length. The remedy is to give abund dant opportunity to exercise and feed a small quantity of salt in the wet mash. just enough to season the mix ture. The habit is rarely observed when fowls have free range. At least, it is far less common among them than among those shut up in city yards.

WLv Do Thew

Why women like the baldheaded man it is somewhat difficult to define. It may be because he appears to be: Thoughtful and kind.
 Trustworthy and confiding. Whim- sical. Past the follies and frivolities of youth
 Usually successful.
 A man of property.
 Opinions why women like the bald headed man obtained by the Daily Mirror are as follows:
 He is not silly like young men.
 He accepts refusals of marriage SO nicely that one is sorry one did not accept him.
 The bald patch looks so clean and nice. One would like to kiss it.
 A doctor welcomes badness when it comes to him, as it is a sign of se- dateness and dignified learning, which invariably increases his practise.

PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS
Royal Family of England Remain Faithful to "Ess Bouquet'-Czar-
 ina Is Fond of White Violet.

Queen Mary is not lover of per fume. She uses eau de cologne occa- sionally, but avoids scents as much as possible. A west end chemist told the writer recently that neither IS Queen Alexandra very fond Of per fumes, although she remains faithful to the "Ess Bouquet" which has been in use by the royal family ot England since 1922 This perfume Is composed of amber mixed with the essence of roses, violets, jasmine orange flowers and lavender.
 On the other hand the czarina IS passionately fond of perfume. Her apartments in the royal palace are daily sprayed with essences of hlac' jasmine, and white violet Her maj estys favorite essence is violet, and for several weeks in the early spring hundreds of women and girls may be seen at Grasse gathering the bios poms from which the Gzarina's per tune is made The finished product is tested, bottle by bottle, at the St. Petersburg Academy of Chemistry before being sent to the imperial store
 The Queen Mother of Spain uses as perfume eau d'espagne, manufactured in Madrid, and also obtains per fume for her toilet from Paris. Its composition is secret which the perfumer only half discloses. Tt is made" he says, of rosewater, cocoa nut oil, and-the rest is mystery

Tribute to Painters Skill

One of the still life paintings by Jan van Huysen in the museum at The Hague was recently injured, but it is believed the perpetrator was neither yandal nor thief.
 The picture represents a basket of fruit on which number of insects have gathered. On a pale yellow ap- pie, which is the centerpiece in the cluster of fruit, is large fly, painted so true to nature, so say the officials of the gallery, that the canvas was injured by some one who endeavored to "shoo" it and brought his cane or hand too close to the canvas. "A tribute to the painters genius" says the letter recording the fact, for which the work had to suffer-"

UncuItivated Spots.

The farmer who is so careless as to leave uncultivated spots along fence roads and other places, might at least plant fruit trees in them. They will require less attention than other crops and If the weeds are kept down in their vicinity for two or three years, the trees will produce crops, big or little, according to the good sense of the owner

Professor Smith tells of one young farmer in Michigan who bought a thousand acres of farm land at one dollar per acre. He is improving the quality of the soil by blowing in vetch as a green manure. He also grows the vetch for seed, selling it at four to five dollars per bushel and getting six to ten bushels per acre.
