qHappenings Of Moment to the Man Behind the Plow

Those of us who believe in CO.
operation along the lines of the
Fruit Growers Association and the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors are
glad to get such testimonies from
those who are outside the ranks of
organized CO. operators. They show
US that the cause is winning grad
ually but surely because it is found.
ed on sound common sense.
Not long ago l was reading a re-
port of an address by travelling
agent for a commission house in
which he said that the only solu-
ton of the marketing problem or
at least one of its largest factors lay
in cooperation of the producers.
In conclusion I quote Mr.. Gilbert's
closing sentences: "The future to
me is bright in the apple business.
The big thing is to show the re-
taller how he can handle our fruit
in larger quantities on smaller
margins and here at home it is a
problem in psychology to get the
union, the association and the big
dealer to join in one efficient SELL
ing machine located at home"

Silaqe al Horse Feed.

1t is not entirely clear to prospective
silo purchasers that silage is an excel
lent ration for horses, economic in
character and wholesome in use. By
using good judgment the horse feeder
will make no error and will be better
of financially. The Pennsylvania sta
ton gives the results of horse feeding
test where silage was compared with
hay and other forage:
"The horses fed silage as q portion
Of their ration consumed less grain.
made their gains at a lesser cost per
pound. were sleeker and better finish
ed than those fed on rations not con-
tanning silage"
In this test it was noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
Eve to twenty pounds per day. The
station recommended silage free from
mold and made from corn fairly we'll
matured. 1t also advised against feed.
ing horses large quantities Of silage.
especially after coming in from heavy
work when they are in a heated con-
dition.

Cures Rheumatism
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen
Joints and MuscIes-Drives Rheu-
matte Pains Away.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
easily avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak, in.
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat.
ter and uric acid; and 1t is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
Is to remove the cause. The new
olscoverey, Croxone, does this because
1t neutralizes and dissolves the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter the poison from
the blood, and drive it on and out of
the system.
