COOPERATION.

Cooperative effort has enabled
many farmers and stockm men to
improve their live stock. 1t is
an easy matter to secure the
best breeding stock when a num-
Der Of farmers buy males upon
the cooperative plan. 1t does
not require large capital to farm,
but it requires intelligence and
business organization.

Silaue Cheaper Than Pasture,

Dean Mumford of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture makes the state
more cheaply on silage than they can
be carried through the summer on
blue grass pasture, where the land
costs about 500 per acre and is suit
able for growing corn. He says that
there is very little pasture land where
cow and a calf can be pastured on
less than one and one-half acres, but it
is entirely possible to get twelve and
one-half to twenty tons of siage from
one acre.

The Pessimist

Let US suppose that man was on
the lucky side Of 35, that he had a
beautiful wife, who loved him; that
they had a healthy, perfect child;
that he had a good job, and that they
possessed a comfortable home. What
more could any man want than that?"
ooh, IL he had all those blessings
I'll bet the cook would be threatening
to quit or there would be something
the matter with the furnace. There's
no use expecting that anybody will
ever find conditions perfect In this
world"

4 ROMANCE OF TRADE.
The Start and Rise of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.

The Start and Rise of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.
The famous cannon foundry Of
Krupp, at Essen, was established in
1871 by Frederick Krupp, who aban-
doned a successful grocery business at
the instigation of two brothers named
Won kechel in order to devote himself
to the manufacture of cast steel.
The process was then unknown in
Germany. and the article itself went
under the name of English STEEP be-
cause it was imported from England
Krupp had money, and the Kechels had
or pretended to have technical knowl-
edge. The firm started it's operations
In an old water power mill at Altenes-
sen. The experiments of the Won
Kechels were unsuccessful. For nearly
two years they did their best, but all
their efforts to produce English steeP
failed. In the end Krupp decided to
get rid of them after having spent one
half Of his fortune in experiments and
took over the management of the work
himself.
For long time he had no luck, and
it was only after some years of disap-
pointment and labor that satisfactory
metal was produced. 1t was under his
son Alfred that the business first real
ly began to flourish. It's exhibit at the
London exposition Of 1851 revealed to
the world that little known German
firm was producing iron and steel that
could not be bettered by the industry
of any other country. Orders from the
Prussian government followed, and
the name and fortune Of the firm were
made.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

For hay soy beans are cut with the

Experience is necessary in curing soy
bean hay, but those who have made
cowpea hay will find less trouble in
curing that of soy beans. A CORE
spondent writes in regard to curing
cowpea hay that he sets posts about
one foot into the ground. nails cross
pieces near the bottom and shocks the
hay over the posts as soon as cut. The
forkfuls of pea vines are slipped over

derstood by outsiders. 1t was for this
reason that Jesus spoke in parallels, be-
cause the masses even of the Jews were
not In heart condition to understand
Only such persons as were willing to
undertake the stringent conditions of
the narrow way" were to fully and
clearly understand the parallels. This
Is In harmony with all of Gods deal
tngs In the present time. We read,
'sThe secret of the Lord is with them
that reverence Him, and He will show
them His Covenant"
In Verse 13 the Master indicates
eral key to the Interpretation Of all His
parallels "Seed" does not mean literal
seed, birds do not mean birds,
"thorns" do not mean thorns, etc.
Proceeding, the Great Teacher ex-
pounded the parable as follows:
Seed Represents the Kingdom Message.
~ The seed that was sown repre-
sents the Word of God; it repre-
Word which relates to the Kingdom.
This Is shown by st. Matthew'S &C
count of the same parable. Matthew
Kill, 49, Our lesson says that the
Wicked One is Satan. Satan and his
evil agents are therefore represented
In the parable by Birds" and the i'm
port is that we lose the benefit of that
which we do not understand.
Evidently, then, much of Bible study
and religious reading is lost. The
good seed does not enter into the
understanding because the heart is not
In a receptive attitude. Like the way
side path it is hard.
(2) The seed sown in the stony place
represents those who, when they hear
The Kingdom Message, are delighted.
They say, How good that sounds!
What grand time there will be when
Messiah rules in righteousness to bless
the world. And how great is the priv
nege Of becoming members Of the
Bride of Christ, to be associated with
Him in His Kingdom work! But the
class represented have little depth OF
character; they are merely emotional.
When they find that the good Seed
OF the Kingdom is unpopular and that
1t will bring them a certain amount of
reproach and contempt and perhaps
persecution, the Kingdom Message
fails to produce in them the fruitage
desired
81 The seed sown in the thorny
ground represents those whose hearts
are divided Let us note carefully that
these thorns do not represent gambling

 Professor Parker is composer of
 admittedly high creative gifts He
 is probably our greatest American composer, now that Mcdowell is dead
 and he has had in his operatic ven
 ture the assistance of a poet of dis
 tinctiOn. Brian Hooker. But the best
 that can be said of Mona" is that
 it represents an advance on the other American operas named. Professor
 Parker" says the Musical Courier,
 takes a long step beyond Messrs.
 Damrosch, Herbert and Converse, and
 has made serious and scholarly ef-
 fort in a dignified direction The
 same paper finds some comwOrt in
 the fact that the best two American operas, The Sacrifice" and Mona" are by native Americans. Converse and Parker, for Walter Johannes Damrosch is a German American and Victor Herbert is a German-I Irshman. It adds: Mona may or may not lhave helped the cause of American music and of American opera. That is a large question which sober iudg- iment must answer as time develops. At any rate, Mona has made it certain that there will be no more opera contests and perhaps no more American Operas
 The critical consensus of OpinOn in regard to Parker's musicianship as displayed in "Mona,' is summed up in the statement that he has written a conscientious and carefully constructed score, but has neither

Council Calls Special Elec- tion for Charter Com mission Which May Have Ninety Days in Which to Prepare Document

June sixth as the date for holding an election for the choosing of a charter commission of fourteen freehOlders of the city of Phoenix whose duty it shall be to frame a new city charter providing for a com mission form of government. This charter commission is allowed ninety days under the state constitution within which it must draft the char ter and present it to the voters of the city for their acceptance or re- jectiOn.
 This is the first definite step to be taken by council looking to the establishment of the commission form in Phoenix Nominations must be made by petition. and it is likely that there will be at least two complete tickets in the field.
