sunlight trying to get the paper
out on time, and asked if we
worked all the time. He was in

we're from 4 G. m. to 8 S. m. He
disliked to confess that he didn't

An Old Paper.

]. E. Roberts, Jr., has a copy
of the Ulster County Gazette,
published at Kingstown, New
York, dated Saturday, January
4, 1900. The paper has been for
years an heirloom in the Roberts
family, having been preserved
by the great grandfather of Mr..
Roberts. The paper is model
of neatness, and at this time
would put many newspapers to
shame. The paper was edited
by Samuel Freer & Son. The
issue contained an account of
the burial of General George
Washington, which we reprint,
as it is very appropriate at this
time.
WASHINGTON ENTOMED
George Town, Dec. 20.
On Wednesday last, the NOR
tai part of WASHINGTON the
Great-the Father of his Coun-
try and the Friend of Man, was
consigned to the tomb, with sol
emn honors and funeral pomp.
A multitude of persons assem-
bled, from many miles round, at
Mount Vernon, the choice abode
and last residence of the illus
trious chief. There we're the
groves-the spacious avenues,
the beautiful and sublime scenes,
the noble mansion-but, alas! the
august inhabitant WaS ROW no
more. The great soul was gone.
His mortal part was there in
deed; but ah! how affecting! how
awful the spectacle of such worth
and greatness, thus, to mortal
eyes fallen:-yesl tallenl fallenl
In the long and lofty POTtiCO,
where oft the Hero walked in all
glory, ROW lay the shrouded
corpse, The countenance still
composed and serene, seemed to
depress the dignity of the spirit
which lately dwelt in the lifeless
form! There those who paid
the last sad honors to the bene-
factor of his country took an
impressive farewell view.
On the ornament at the head
of the coffin, was inscribed SURGE
AID JUDICIUM-about the middle
of the coffin, GLORIA DEo-and on
the silver plate,

HOOKWoRM IN ~oRPHANAGES.
Experiments by Board Of Health Show
Many of Inmates Are Infected.

Jackson.-"Every public institution
where children cOngregate should be sub
jected to a thorough examination with
out delay and an effort made by this
method to prevent the spread of the
hookworm disease"
This was the suggestion made by DR..
Woods, who is in active control of the
hookworm investigation at the labora-
tories of the state board of health in
this city.
"For instance" continues the bacteri-
ologist, 81 have been examining evidence
sent me from one of the orphanages in
jackson and have made scores of eX-
periments with the result that l have
found a prevalence of hookworm among
the inmates that, were | to state the ex-
act percentage, would a~stonish the en-
tire state of Mississippi. 1t almost
reaches the 100 per cent mark, and as the
institution is run along lines as sanitary
as most of the other homes of its char
acter, it is safe to assume that hook
worm would be found elsewhere in the
same proportion"
The board of health has made rapid
strides in its investigation during the
past few months, and reports from all
portions of the state evidence a rapidly
increasing interest in the problem, ac-
cording to the local analysis. Treatment
has been given hundreds of patients at
the free ~dispensary, and in other cities
the suggestions of the board of health
are being followed. The thymol treat
ment, which expels the hookworm from
the body after only one treatment, is
remarkably cheap, and the board of
health believes that it's campaign of ed
ucation along sanitary lines will event
ually result in the expulsion of the dis
ease from Mississippi.
Reports were received during the past
week of a country school with an attend
ance of seventeen pupils being investi-
gated by the health authorities. All Of
the pupils, most of whom were under IS
years of age, were found to have adj
vanced stages of the disease, while the
teacher was also infected.

Farmers Educational
mn and Co.. Operative
Union Of America
Matters Of Especial Moment to
j the Progressive AsricuIturist

The shirker usually gets the short
end of llfe's evener.
Cooperation today is success both
today and tomorrow.
The man who finds life pleasant is
apt to leave 1t 50 for others.
Faith travels faster on n foot
than doubt ever can Oh four.
Do not dampen today's sunshine
with the showers of tomorrow.
Frequent changes in officials is good
for the health Of Farmers union.
No man ever breeds patches on the
seat Of his rousers by standing or
walking.
Farmers union companies operat-
ing coal and lumber companies seem
to be a success.
Intensive cultivation Of the mind Is
necessary to and precedes intensive
cultivation Of the soil.
The short road to prosperity Is over
the long way Of preparation and the
steep hills of endeayor.
Many a country lad who Is on the
toboggan, sliding down to the devil,
got his first push at home.
1t requires a lot of backbone to
live up to the estimation in which you
are held by your three-year-old boy.
1t would be a pity indeed II the
great forest reserves should be sacri-
feed to the politician and the lumber
stealer.
Neighbor Slowroot seems to think
that when the crops stop growing he
might as well stop work-and there
are others.
The most eloquent speaker is a sub
Btantial bank account. No seems
to be more successful in producing
him than the farmer.
Managers of cooperative business
concerns of the union should keep
posted on the prices In the various
markets, read up on crop conditions,
making new friends for the business
by being courteous and friendly with
all.
When the speculation in farm prod
ucts is destroyed, which 1t will be
soon, then the attention Of the mem
bership should be turned to other i'm
portant matters that need their guild
ing hand to cure them Of their evils
or destroy them utterly.

HOW LOCALS MAY KEEP BUSY
President Hill of A. G. M. College of
North Carolina, Tells Of Several
Things to Be Done.

At the last annual meeting of the
Farmers Union at Greensboro, in his
address on how local unions may
keep busy, DR.. D. H. Hill, president
of the A. & NJ. college of North Car.
DINA, said:
First, that there should always be
something for the union to do at each
meeting. 1t would be well for the
local unions at least once a month to
have a fixed program bearing on farm
topics, and to have the leaders appoint
ed, and then to have a general discus.
sion. Our college will undertake to
send out these topics If the local wish
es us to do so. Any meeting that has
not a specific object is likely to lose
in interest, and these farm programs
carried out, would, I think very ma
terially increase the interest. In some
locals they are carried on quite eff
fectively and quite %profitably.
Second; it seems to me that the To-
Gals can be properly worked for civic
Improvements. Here are some of the
things that they might try to encour-
age:
(a) Good sanitation in the
try home.
o. The teaching of agriculture and
domestic science in the rural schools.
(c) Good roads.
(d) The enforcement of the laws
In their localities. This, of course,
ought to be done by public senti-
ment and not by other means.
(e) The formation Of county
fairs, live stock exhibits, colt an6
calf shows that would encourage the
raising of live stock.
Q) The improvement Of the coun-
try schools and the adornment by
grass and flowers of the country
homes, and other such topics.
Third. The local could arrange for
such cooperation as might lead to
cheaper buying and better selling.
Fourth. The locals could lead in fur
nishing educational and refined pleas
ures for their members. Country life
would be very much improved If we
could furnish our young people with
instructive and rational amusements
and the local furnishes a good means
Of doing this.

FARM LEAGUES IN GERMANY
Promote Interests Of Farmers, EsPe-
cially In Buying and Selling OF
Products and Merchandise.

By A. W. THACKARA.
During the latter half Of the nine
teenth century associations formed
among the agricultural classes Of
Germany did much to promote scien-
ttfic farming and in more recent years
they have extended their influence
with the advancement Of technology.
When the German farmer came to
recognize that he was separated from
the center of social life and from his
associates In the same vocation, that
he must remain in touch with the
scientific and economic activity Of the
country in order to share In the
progress made, he found that agricul-
tural organizations we're the means
by which to attain his object. Conse-
quently a large number Of co-opera-
tive associations sprang up through
out Germany, which In addition to the
former idealistic purpose Of agricul-
tural unions have the further object
Of promoting the interest Of the farm
err, especially in the buying and sell
ing Of products and merchandise.
These local societies have united into
branch societies, circuit and district
societies, which form the basis or
nucleus of the two general German
agricultural organizations of the pres
emit time.
The function of the great organiza.
tons is much broader than merely for
the purpose Of collective bargaining
in the sale of farm products, etc, for
in each division there are scientific
experts who, upon application and
upon the payment of a fee, visit the
farms Of the different members and
advise with them concerning the cul-
tivation Of their growing crops and
the n Of their live stock. For in.
stance, an expert forester investigates
the forests Of the members, another
examines the growing potato field or
the dairy. If anything needs correct
ing, these experts suggest the proper
remedy. Furthermore, If a particular
field does not produce as it should, a
sample of the soil may be sent to the
laboratories Of the organization,
where 1t is tested and the member is
informed how he should properly fer,
tilize the field.
These leagues have proven effective
In aiding the membership financially,
the loans aggregating over $500, 0O0,-
900; in improved crop culture through
travelling experts, in selling farm prod
ucts, and in purchasing supplies
which amount to many million dol
lars annually.

SOUTH WANTS A NEW SYSTEM
information as to Demand When Prod
ucts Are Ready for Market Is
Needed-Can 30 Obtained.

All parts of the country are begin
ming to see the unbusinesslike meth
DDS employed by the farmers in doing
business. The following extract from
a letter published In a leading south
ern paper shows how tired the farm
ers Of the south are becoming Of the
old system, and how eager and deter
mined they are to change It:
THAT the average system Of bust
ness under which we have been work
ing the last half century is wrong
cannot be denied. We have only to
look over the quilted hills, the unat-
tractive homes and consider the enor-
nous debt upon the shoulders Of
the farming class. When the
farmers products are ready for the
market, let him sell as wisely as the
merchant sells or the banker lends.
When he has purchases to make, let
him buy as cautiously as the mer-
chant buys or the banker loans. To
do this will completely change our
business system, and that is what we
must do, that is what we are going to
do"
But how to do that is a question
that still puzzles many, says the Up
to-Date Farmer. 1t all hinges upon
organized control Of production and
marketing; or, we might better say,
voluntary control-knowledge of what
is needed, where 1t Is needed, and
what 1t ought to be worth in compari-
son with the price Of other things;
that is, in proportion with the general
level of values.
Do any think that could not be
done, or that it would be a task too
difficult to undertake? We believe it
a much simpler problem than many
that have been solved. 1t is merely
a matter Of information and acting
thereon; and even more difficult infor-
nation is being gathered all the time
for the benefit Of other lines of bust
ness, and all sorts of statistics are
compiled with no thought of attend
ant difficulties. The government it.
self gathers information and complies
statistics, farm statistics too, as DIFF
ficult as any required by the new
marketing system, much Of 1t, In fact,
being the very information needed, If
put to that purpose. 1t is just as
easy to learn of demand as 1t is to
learn Of supply; to learn how much
Of any crop is on hand as how much
will be planted; to learn how much
Of the stock on hand is being used as
to learn how the crop is progressing,
and what will be the probable yield;
to learn where this article and that is
needed as to learn where the com
modify is on hand and for sale. This
information can be obtained and it
can be given out, and the farmers can
act upon 1t both In production and
marketing. 1t would simply be to in.
ject business principles into farming
VIII not farmers take up such g
system and work 1t out? Then helr
US to educate them up to it. They
can do 1t, and they will when they
know how and see the advantage Of it

FUNDS ARE NOW IN HAND.
May Now Proceed to Build State Char
ity Hospital,

Jackson.-Al the funds are in hand
for the erection of the Mississippi State
Charity Hospital, authorized by the last
legislature to be located in this city.
The legislature appropriated $4,000 for
that purpose conditioned on Jackson and
Kinds county raising an additional sum
of $4,000. That has been done. The
citizens of Jackson undertook to raise
by popular subscription $4,000 Of the
latter amount, SO that the share of the
city and county would be $500 each.
The county and city have both appropri-
ated their pro rata share, and last week
a committee from the Board of Trade got
busy and collected their share assumed
by the citizens of Jackson, SO that the
fund of $4,000 is now intact, and moth
ing remains but to build.

PLANS FOR A CONVENTION.
Land Development Association to Hold
Meeting.


Jackson.--The annual convention of
the Mississippi Land Development Assoc
citation will be held this year in South
Mississippi, probably at Hattiesburg or
Gulfport.
This is the decision reached at a meet
ing of tie executive committee.
Believing that the promotion of the
growth and progress of South Missis.
sippi, especially in settling the cutover
pine lands, is one of the states most i'm
portant problems, the committee deemed
1t advisable to have the annual conven-
ton in that section of the state. The
gathering will be held on June 81 and
%, and the committee is now open to
proposals from the business organiza-
tions Of Gulfport and Hattiesburg.
The finances of the association are in
frst-class shape, some good publicity
work is being accomplished through the
managers office, and a program will be
prepared for the annual meeting that
will be of exceptional interest.
