lution-ridden republic Of Mexico.
The vacQuero is the cowbody of Mex
leo. In language and personal char
acteristics he has nothing in common
with his American brother, but the
duties of the avocation are alike. Cow
boy and vacquero each spend days and
nights with their herds far from human
habitation and each attain wonderful
proficiency with the lariat and gun
and in feats of horsemanship. A con-
tingent of the most famous Vacqueros
of Mexico are with the California
Frank Wild West. With them are
troup of dashing guardes rurales, the
mounted police Of the country, whose
renown and efficiency rival that OF
their prototypes of the far remote
Canadian border.
An interesting comparative study is
exhibited in the competitions of the
representatives of the two republics.
The Mexicans concede no iota Of su-
periority to the cowboys in any of the
feats of the ,cattle-raising avocatlon.
They are the equals in all the prac-
tical and fancy manoeuvres of the
lariat, they contend, can ride trained
cow-horse or quicker with similar
certainty and are as sure in aim with
the gun or revolver.

COOPERATE TO SELL FRUIT
Growers, Work Does Not Cease Until
Money is Safely Deposlted-cali-
fornIa Example.

For the benefit Of the fruit industry
I would urge that as growers we take
a broad view of the marketing PROB
lem. In the first place It has been
clearly demonstrated that fruit grow
er's business does not cease when the
fruit is grown; it only ceases Wnen
money for the crop is safely In the
bank, and then only to begin again IN
the preparations for q new crop. rms
thing of turning ones crop over to
some ouside commission house to sell,
although sometimes coming up to ex-
pectations has, nevertheless, so ire
guently ended in financial disaster TO
the growers concerned that enlight-
ened communities have long since
evolved the better plan OF marketing
through associations OF growers, says
writer in an exchange. BY this
method, sufficient quantity OF fruit
is brought together to enable the asso,
ciatton to employ its own managers
and statesmen. These men are inter.
ested only In getting as mach for the
growers as possible. The largest and
most notable example of this in the
United States, or the world. perhaps
Is the California Fruit Growers ex
change, which has its agents in every
large market in the United States an6
Canada, and a representative in Eu
rope. Then there are fruit growers
associations in Florida, Texas, Wash
ington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Col
orado.

IGNORE WALL STREET BEARS
Farmer Should Devote More Time to
Raising His Own Farm Products
and Less to Cussng.

Let us not devote so much time to
GUESSING the Wall street bears. we
are to blame for the low price of cot
ton. We are the successful bears. We
have no business to plant three
fourths of our land in cotton and buy
corn, oats, bacon, lard and SO on. We
plant too many acres in cotton and
thereby force the price down. we
buy farm products on credit and are
forced to dump our cotton on the
market in the fall and thereby force
the price down. Let's prepare to live
at home, stay out of debt and pay
cash as we 60.
The too-eSclusive culture Of cotton
means that we will buy corn, oats, ba-
con, lard, mules, horses and other
farm products on credit. The too
exclusive culture of cotton, tobacco,
| cane, rice or of any other farm prod
uct means poor soil and poor people.
Poor people means uncomfortable
homes, bad roads, poorly paid teach
! ers, preachers and so on. Diversified
ton of crops will enrich the soil
force the price of cotton up and bring
| prosperity.
Now is the time to begin to fix the
price Of cotton for 1912. Sow acres
of thes best land in bermuda Or carpet
grass. Sow acres In oats, wheat, bar
ley and other winter pasture crops
Plant more corn, rice, can sorghum
and other crops next year. We mus
realize the fact that help comes
through our own personal efforts ant
that the road to high price cotton, fer
tile soil and prosperity is diversified
ton and rotation Of crops.

The stranger by this time was fully

and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead and found a eplace
