BUYING AGENT SAVES MUCH
Cooperative Plan That Gives Entire
Satisfaction to One Thousand
FamiIies-HoW Worked.

About four years ago we, working
/ through the Farmers Union, began
| buying at Wholesale; the members OF
| three unions co-Operated, comprising
about forty families. We met once .
month and selected buying commit
/ tee of two members, and each man
| made a list OF his months supplies,
the committee putting each article,
such as sugar, coffee, etc, together;
making an account sufficiently large
to be a wholesale order.
This plan was abandoned, after a
years trial, because it did not give
satisfaction for the members could
rot foresee, a month ahead the manY
little articles they would need, writes
Enos c. Pittman in the Farm World.
But the main reason that 1t was not
satisfactory was that there were GER
tain parties who always thought they
could have done better If they had
been on the purchasing committee.
These parties always complained of
some imaginary inehiciency until 1t
became impossible to obtain persons
willing to serve on those committees.
Our next effort was along entirely
different lines. One hundred of us sub

dollar was his as his salary; and at
the end of five years he was also to
receive the $3.50 as a bonus, provided
he fulfilled his contract. which was
that he was to supply the contract
holders their goods at 10 per cent.
above the wholesale price The con
tract also specified that he was to
present his original bills on the de-
mand of any OF the stock or contract
holders.
This plan has given entire satisfac-
ton. and he has sold additional con
tracts until now he has 1000 of them,
which means that his salary is $1,000
Per year, with a bonus of $500 at the
end of five years. provided he fulfills
his contract. which. of course, he will
do, as 1t will pay him to do so.
This seems to be making the buy
ing agent rich. and, of course, he has
good thing" of 1t, but the saving to
the contract holder is immense, and
justifies 1t as they save at least 81 on
each barrel of -four; cooking oil sells
In our town for 81 per gallon. 1t costs
60 cents at wholesale In Memphis,
and We buy 1t at our cooperative
store for &c cents. saving of "a cents
per gallon.
But the largest saving is in the
dry goods line, and frequently on
bill of dry goods We save so per cent

One of my neighbors tells me that
he saved the money invested In his
contract on one order of dry goods,
which amounted to SIG He arrived
g this fact by having the other stores

Oil ter.

that underlie successful frost fighting
Is a knowledge of the subject of air
drainage. Cold air, like water, set
ties to the lowest ground. and any
thing that viii break up this stratum
of cold air and cause 1t to mix with
the upper strata of warm air will
prove Of great value in combating
frost injury.
Frost injury to fruit trees most fire.
quently occurs when there is a clear.
still, dry atmosphere, and when the
radiation is uninterrupted by clouds
or moisture, and the cold air settles In
poorly air-drained areas.
While frosts may not be severe,
they are often just severe enough TO
damage the blossoms and tender fruits
and they not only reduce a crop of
fruit one-third to one-half of what il
should be, but sometimes destroy the
entire crop for one year or for several
successive years.
In orchard heating the fuel to be
depended upon must be easy to light,
a fuel that will burn a long time and
that will give out great amount of
heat; it must also be easily controlled
In regard to temperature. Oil. in
some forms, doubtless best meets
these requirements, but where oil is
scarce and coal abundant the latter
would be the cheaper fuel.
The oil heater, so far as We know,
was first manufactured by firm in
Fresno, Cal. Since then several styles
of oil heaters have been manufactured
aud put on the market One of these
we'll known and extensively used or
chard oil heaters, constructed on sci
entifc principles, has centerdraft
tube that feeds oil to the flames. pro-
notes combustion. and makes good
use of the Oil The heater holds about
five quarts of oil, will burn six or sew
en- hours, is made of 2S-gauge iron,
and weighs. with cover, ia pounds.
1t stands II inches high.
The cover is made to fit like a lard
pail lid, and is raised in the center
so as TO shed water This heater has
successfully stood the test of several
years 1t is successful because based
on the principle that there is no need
for great heat locally, but for numer-
Gus small fires well distributed The
small fires do not necessarily change
the direction of the air draft, the OBJ
ject being to warm up the draft as
1t is pressed down from above by the
settling of the colder air, and thus
avoid the forming of cold spots or
pools. Above the danger point the
upper air strata are warmer, and us
ually few degrees of rise In tenn
perature Is all that is necessary for
safety.
An oil heater that will hold 7
quarts of oil will burn ten hours.
This heater is so arranged that the
heat may be increased or diminished
at will There are larger heaters that
hold six gallons of oil and burn thir-
ty-five hours. but the medium size Is
deemed best for all practical pur-
poses.

PROFIT IN BREEDING MULES
Many Good Qualities of Sturdy Beasts
More Than Offset Many Little
Trifine Objections.
(BY W. IL. Riley

The objection many farmers raise
to the use of mules is that they do
not breed, that they are stubborn,
often vicious, and that they are en-
tirely unsuited to pleasure purposes.
Those objections are worthy of con-
sideration. but the many good quail
ties of these sturdy beasts seem to
more than offset them.

Sardines are found on the coast of
Brittany throughout the year, but
flourish in greater abundance in sum-

IL has never lost single dollar by a
