he was attacked by Amin weight

Archibald hearing
Assuming that Amin did take the
initiative, the incident is unusaal not
merely for his physical courage, but
because the newspaper fraternity so
rarely takes the initiative in physical

Even the editor whose face is

considerable satisfaction in the

GREAT INTEREST IN PRUNING
AND SPRAYING OF FRUIT
TREES.

The Agricultural Extension Division
of the West Virginia University has
been flooded with applications for
demonstrations in pruning and spray
ing of fruit trees. Six instructors Of
the College and Experiment Station
are now out over the state doing this
work. Applications are still coming
in, but the department has been com
PEELED to refuse demonstrations to
these latter applications en- account Of
the lack of men and funds with which
to carry on the work. This first
demonstration is being given for the
spraying to kill the San Jose Scale
and will be followed by a second
demonstration at the tiae Of spraying
for the codling moth, at which time
the new applications Will receive due
consideration.

Old Mansion May Be Sold for Taxes

COOPERATE FOR GOOD SEEDS
Necessary Special Cultivation to se-
euro Best Results Obtained by
Farmers Working Together.

tBy c. r. BARNS, Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
Another form OF cooperation among
farmers. through which large benefits
may often be secured by the use OF a
limited amount of capital, is in the
raising. selection. purchase and dis
tribution OF good seed for staple
crops, such as corn. wheat, oats and
potatoes. Such cooperation does not
contemplate the doing OF a general
business In seeds. That is the prov
ince OF the scotsman, and he is too
valuable factor in the development
of progressive agriculture for any
one to dream of superseding him. But
the farm itself is the natural source
OF seed supply for the main crops
which are to be planted on the farm,
and cooperation looks simply to the
best utilization in the cost of procur-
ing. selecting and distributing seeds.
The planting of seed plots with spe-
cial varieties Of corn and other crops.
and the special cultivation necessary
to secure the best results, may often
be best carried on by a number OF
farmers working comparatively; and
their association, acting as distribut-
ing agency. will both facilitate sales
and lessen the cost OF seeds to its
members. Then. too. cooperation
does away with the absurdity of keep
ing corn-sheller and a fanning-mill
or grain-separator on every farm,
when a single tirst-class machine OF
each kind, operated by a man who
makes such work a specially, will do
the work quicker. better and more
economically.
An example of this kind OF cooper
ative effort is afforded by the Farm
ers' Corporation" of Minnesota, which
has recently added seed department
to it's other cooperative activities. 1t
had already, up to the early part OF
November, contracted with the farm
ers in its membership for 1000 bush
els of the different kinds OF corn
grown in that locality.

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop 1t.

A young Calf. wife talks about
coffee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum trial, but my
nerves were SO shattered that / was
nervous wreck and of course that
means all kinds of ills.
AT first l thought bicycle riding
caused it and l gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. i did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for was very fond of it.
About that time friend came to
live with us, and l noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. l asked
MIN the reason. He replied, L have
not had headache since l left off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when | began again, here at
your table. don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink
ing Postum,
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep. but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so we returned to Postum, con-
vinced that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.

INCREASE PROFITS IN GRAIN
Cooperative Companies In Nebraska
Show Better Prices Have Been
Secured for Grain.

Reports from the cooperative grain
companies all over Nebraska show uni
formly large profits for the stockhold-
ers, and this after paying from two
to three cents more per bushel for
grain than the old line elevators have
been doing. This benefits not only
those who sell to the farmers COM
panies, but every man within trading
distance of the cooperative elevators.
The increase goes into the pockets Of
the men who raised the grain. which
is Just where 1t should go. At the re-
cent meeting of the Cedar Creek
k'arp,ers' Elevator company. which is
located near Plattsmouth, Neb., a divi-
dend of 16 per cent. was declared and
the report showed more than 100000
bushels of grain handled during 1911.
II only two cents more than old line
prices was paid per bushel this alone
would mean $1,000 for the grain grow
ers of that section, not counting the
increased prices that the old line buy
ers were compelled to pay in order to
compete with the farmers company.
