The farmer puts money in his purse

Spurts do more harm than good.
Sometimes tle hardest blow you

Credit is valuable acquaintance,

PULLING TOGETHER IS BEST
Advantages Of Co-Operation-Build-
ing Many Elevators.

Wisconsin has been advancing very
rapidly during the past four or five
years in the organization Of buying
and selling associations, forming cow
testing associations, starting cooper
ative creameries and cheese factories,
and building warehouses, says the
Wisconsin Agriculturist. These in
dustries are all of the same spirit and
show that we are fast awakening to
the advantages Of pulling together.
building up business and unitedly in
stead of patching up and tearing down
separately.
Farmers Of this state have made
surprising progress lately in the erec-
tion Of potato and tobacco ware
houses. No state agency has lent any
aid, nor has such aid been asked, but
more than score Of such warehouses
have been recently built, and others
are being planned. When one COM
munity Is shown to be successful
under such system, neighboring
townships are ready to follow the ex-
ample set. Some Of the most success
full of these warehouse associations
are In operation in the following Wis
consin towns: Waupaca, Rosholt,
Stevens Point, Necedah, Coloma, In
dependence, River Falls, Wausau,
WautRna, Stanton, Stoughton (tobac-
COZ, Prescott, Hubert, Chetek, Ellis

Sturgeon Bay, Bayfield,, Sparta, Won

There are also about 40 co-opera-

counties of Wisconsin, nearly all of
which have been built during the last
ten years. Those which pay current

A POOR OYSTER SEASON.

Jackson.-According to adyiees Il

Although good weather has prevai

This is attributed chiefly. to the !,
quantity of fresh water dumped into

ration, always cause much injury to-

What CoIors the Blood.

The color Of blood is due chiefly to
Iron in the little blood cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells, which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels, wander about for awhile in
the tissues and die. When they die
the iron that made them red before
then changes to black and blue color
ing. After awhile this iron is taken
up by the glands called the lympha-
tics, and made over again into nice
red cells. The iron Is taken up much
more quickly by the lymphatics If the
black and blue spot is rubbed and
massaged--St. Nicholas.

Worth of a Hen.

France classes the worth of a hen
more for the production of meat and
eggs than she does for fine feathers
or standard looks. Some years ago
the poultrymen aimed for show rec.
ords, ard, while they no doubt gained
their point, they at the same time
ruined the stamina and thrift of the
hen for commercial purposes. Today
1t is different. Utility has taken a
front seat. and all breeds are bred
up to conform with the ideas Of the
market poultryman.
