Need Of Cooperation
Among Farmers.

The success of many associations of
farmers organized for the purpose OF
marketing their products bears faith.
full witness to their value in farm
economy. The general principle Of
cooperation as contrasted with COM
petition is so perfectly illustrated in
the manufacturing and commercial
world that the mere mention of Stand
ard Oil, sugar, steel, beef. harvesting
machinery, etc., suggests the combina-
ton of producers or dealers for the
purpose of increasing the profits OF
the business.
The same principle operates in al
most every town where several mer
chants are engaged in the same line
Of trade. A general understanding in
regard to prices enables them to con-
duct their business with less friction
and greater profit.
In the world of labor trade unionism
Is but an expression of the same idea
of cooperation, and in spite Of defects
and errors in judgment due to human
weakness and restricted vision, trade
unionism has accomplished much for
the betterment of the laborer's health,
wealth, wisdom and virtue.
One reason why agriculture has
failed to keep up with the progress of
manufacture and commerce in some
respects is the failure of farmers to
cooperate. This failure Is not abso.
lutte, but that it might be yet more
complete is all too apparent. It has
been remarked that the farmer is too
often a slave to his own independence.
Suspicion and lack of harmony are
Inherent in enterprises situated at
considerable distance apart. The
greater the distance and difficulty Of
conference the less likelihood of eff
cient cooperation. This explains the
better cooperation in the Eastern
states where distances are less and
means of communication more per
feet.
Cooperation is the principle of the
various roundup associations that
characterize the Northwest. The
Wool Growers association has beer
able to enhance the value of theil
product to it's members. The Montana

II HORSE RANCH.
BY r. S. COOLEY, Superin-
tendent Montana Farmers
Institutes.

i. + !. !. i + :. i. J. !. ! !. = !. + = :.
Better horses can nowhere be pro-
duced than in Montana, and the cost
of production here is very low.
Under natural conditions a very
tough, hardy race of horses developed
that has been the foundation for the
Improvement of recent years. Neglect
has decreased the size Of native
horses below a desirable standard,
and the breeders problem today is to
increase the size and preserve the
quality and hardness.
More care in the selection Of sires
than has sometimes been bestowed is
essential t o hat end. Heavy horses
of quality ought to be carefully Sc
lected. INSCRIPTIONS dealers have IN
loaded a prodigious number OF poor
stations at exorbitant prices to con
panies" of farmers, who have collec'
lively committed a folly well nigh i'm
possible to an individual. Why farm
ers' companies run to foolishness in
stead of sense is hard to- explain.
Horse breeders are getting their eyes
open now. Stallion registration has
taught lessons and better days are
coming.
The first winter is an important pc
Rod in the development of the foal.
Ultimate size, usefulness and price
are often cut in half by failure to
keep the foal growing during the first
winter. At no period will ample feed
produce as much growth as then, nor
will any subsequent care overcome
neglect at that time.
Thousands and thousands of horses
will be required to develop the asrl
oultr~al of Montana. A
great increase in horse power can be
proftably bestowed upon the older az
ricultural regions, and in the never

They're digging for wells on that fiat

Where it's drier than all get out
And the water they get won't wet their

And pretty soon they'll find 1t out.

But I'll bet my head against an old

the legislature of Pennsylvania voted II
sum of money TO build Il house for the
president. perhaps with some hope that
this might help to keep the seat of the
general government in the capital. for
Philadelphia was then considered ~
the capital of the state.
What was since the University of
Pennsylvania was the structure erect
ed for the purpose. But as soon as
General Washington saw its dimen-
sions and a good while before il was
finished he let it be known that be

SLEEP AND REST.
Every Organ Of the Human Body Has
Its Periods of Repose.

It's FeFlooS OF nepoScs
All the organs of life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an inter
val of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion and the
beginning of. fresh act. Between
each expiration of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a period
of repose. Psychologists have calcu-
about one-fourth of the time. Certain
of the other organs suspend their &C
tivity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
ology, with tendency to regard the
brain as the origin of all force and of
all functions of the body. inclines to
the view that sleep is caused by Il
withdra wal of blood from the brain.
AS a rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep it requires Webster went

PHILIPPINE SAVAGES.
Tho Uncouth Tineians Are Fond Of
Ornaments and Gay CoIors.


There are many strange. uncivilized
people among the Asiatic Americans
of the Philippine Islands.
The Tingians are a very uncouth
tribe of savages. Their head women
have their arms almost completely
covered with strings of beads. wound
so as to form beautiful and striking
designs. A long, heavy string of beads
is also twisted around the hair and
hangs down the back like braid. The
skirt of these head women is white,
with a blue border, and the waist is of
light yellow. They smoke pipes of
solid silver, ornamented with bangles.
in the bowls of which pieces of cigar
are inserted.
The typical young Tingian chieftain
wears a stiff collar of beads and a gay
sort of scarf trimmed with many sill
yer coins. The members of this tribe
are very fond of silver. They make a
large number of finger rings from
silver coins. and each man usually has
from five to ten of these rings about
his person. but not necessarily on his
fingers.
The Tingians are fond of a peculiar
dance. The music is produced by beat
ing with the palms of the hands on
"gansas" or tomtoms The dancers, a
man and woman, with arms out
stretched, circle about each other in a
spiral, the man pursuing the woman
