The surest thing to kill joy is to
find fault
Cultivate patience. Fretting never
brought rain or stopped 1t.
Some women would be unhappy If
they had nothing to complain of.
There are many good intentions
that cannot be put into execution for
lack of funds
What prodteth man If he raise the
best crop in the county and lose money
In the selling?
Maybe it is because most OF US are
fond of crowds that there is so much
room at the top.
Institutions of industry, creative
and cooperative, is what makes
greatness everywhere.
If you say sour things, say them
In such a sweet way as to make
sort of verbal lemonade.
Talking back is not 1mpudence
when the land replies to seeding and
cultivating with a bumper crop.
The man who has no use for the
opinions of others never has any OF
MS own that other people want.
Some farmers act as though they
could give nature cards and spades
and then beat her in the game OF
regulating the weather.
There is no use trying to run away
from trouble The merchant, the bank
er and every other business man has
his trials and tribulations."
We have found that one of the best
ways to get along with work is to
never let 1t hurry you. This means
keep well ahead of the hounds.
1t is easy to be thankful when we
are prosperous, but 1t takes real op-
timism to be thankful things are no
worse when we suffer heavy losses.
Too many of US are like the man
on the jury who complained that
"the eleven other fellows were the
most stubborn fellows he ever saw.
The man who keeps his children
out of school in order to save few
dollars is a thief, robbing his own
flesh and blood of its opportunity to
make a success in life.
If we would keep the boys at home,
we must meet the demands for them
that come from the cities. We must
give them a chance to make money for
themselves and broaden their oppor-
tunities for enjoying everything good
In life within their reach.

Curtains for Summer.

Cheesecloth holds great possibilities
for country house curtains, for it lends
itself splendidly to stenciling, and
thus a color scheme can be carried
out to harmonic with the other deco
rations in the room. The curtains
may be hemstitched and edged with
small cotton ball fringe.
Colored curtains of cretonne or
chintz, used in conjunction with light
ones, should show brightly Powered
patterns when the room does not get
much sun, and cooler shades when 1t
faces south. This may also depend
on the color scheme of the room, for
when the walls are covered with
flowing flowered paper the outside
curtains should be of soft shaded
one toned material, while if the walls
are solid" color contrast can be
made with gayly patterned materials
for the curtains.

MORE COOPERATION NEEDED
Strict Conformity to Business Princi-
ples and Loyal Support of Officers
Are Essental>

Never before has there been great
er demand for the right kind of CO
operation among farm communities
1t is indeed a broad subject and SO
many factors enter into it that it is
Impossible to lay down any deffnite
rules that can be followed which
will bring about immediate success,
but there are many plans of co-opera-
tion that will bring immediate results.
The farming community that is doing
the largest amount of things in farm
development. are the sections where
cooperation among farmers is being
followed
We believe that the basis of COM
mercial cooperation in any line is
confidence in the organization, says
the Western Farmer. Any organiza-
ton to succeed must be run strictly
on business lines Where Farmers
Cooperative societies have been sue
cessful in the United States through
strict conformity to business princi-
pies with the organization handled
by competent men and given loyal
support by the members. 1t is true
that often these organizations meet
with failure, but where one organiZa-
ton fails many more succeed and each
year sees a greater success. During
the past ten years the work OF CO
operation has been felt not only in
the marketing of crops. but in the Sc
curing of legislation which directly
affects the farmer and his needs.
Through this cooperation have come
cooperative grain warehouses. CO
operative creameries, mutual fire in
surance companies, fruit shipping as
sociations, and farmers telephone
companies. The reason that the work
of cooperation is progressing is due
to the fact that greater attention is
being paid TO the business side of
the organization. A thorough under
standing should first of all be under
stood regarding the basis upon which
the organization is formed
A cooperative start has been made
In this work of cooperation through
out the country, and this work is be
ing felt Western Farmer again urges
the farmers TO get together on issues
that concern their business. They
need TO do this for protection and to
promote their profits in the sale of
farm products. They need to pull
together. Cooperation among the
farmers means better business meth
ods. applied just like the other fell
lows, who are succeeding, apply them.
Did you ever stop TO think that the
farmers pay about one-haf of all the
taxes collected and If any class of
people need cooperation the farmers
are the ones. The heads of the farm
home should be thinking about the
cooperative movement and get in
touch with everything that tends to-
ward the unification of the interests
in which the farmer and his family is
connected.

There are two kinds Of radishes:

other is long and tapering and streak
ed with white Both when eaten raw
should be chosen young, as their flavor

make two deep cuts at right angles
to each other across the radish, not.
cutting quite through to the stem end.
Then with a sharp steel knife loosen
the skin on the four quarters. The Ice
water VIII curl the little points OF skin
back like rose leaves.
Individual radish dishes are nov
city seen on the tables of the up-to-
date hostess. These dishes consist
of a small saucer on one side OF which
a little salt cellar is fastened. They
are made of engraved glass with silver
mountings and are sold for So each.
Young radishes sliced with the skins
on are good addition to vegetable
soup. If they are used simply for
seasoning, they can be put in the soup
pot whole, but If they are to be left
in the soup they should be daintily
sliced or diced.
Radishes can be used in many ways
for salad. One way calls for three
punches Of sound, red radishes. Put
them in cold water on the ice for an
hour. Ten minutes before serving
time wipe them dry and cut them in
fine clices. Slice also two small onions.
Put them In layers in salad bowl with
minced parsley and dress them with
oil and vinegar.
Another radish salad calls for bed
of crisp, white lettuce leaves. On
this small, quartered radishes are ar
ranged and the whole Is dressed with
French dressing and little onion

SAVING TIME ON IRONING DAY
Housewife of Today Has Many Con
veniences That Were Quite Un-
known to Her Mother.

The ease of ironing depends greatly
on the height of the ironing board,
so that it is great advantage to have
board that can be raised or lowered
at will. A sleeve board Is of course
a necessity. Many, if not all, of the
soft pieces" can be as well done by
the mangle as by the iron, and with
a great saving of time and strength.
There are several good designs OF
fiat irons. The adjustable handle,
asbestos filed, does away with the
holder and heat under the hand, and
gas or electric attachment does
away with the fire altogether. When
electricity and gas are both lacking
there still remains the iron with a
tiny tank Of denatured alcohol. This
iron is especially handy for doing
pressing in ones own room, either at
home or in a boarding house or hotel.

TEXAS RAVAGED BY WEEvILS
More Damage Expected This Year
Than Has Been Done of Late
Every County Pestered.

More damage will result this year
to cotton from the boil wevil than
has been occasioned by that pest dur
ing the last four years In Texas. Dis
trict demonstration agents employed
jointly by the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the agricul-
tural and mechanical college of Texas
say that every cotton county in the
state Is being ravaged by the weeyils.
The weevils are especially bad in
Central and South Texas. in the tim

thousands upon thousands of dollars

of breeds in claiming for themselves
an origin based solely on practical
considerations.
They are partly of Asiatic blood. but
In their selection, which extends over
period of so years, attention has
been paid to rapid growth and egg
production, SO that the breed today
more nearly resembles the Leghorns
than does either the Plymouth Rock
or Wyandotte.
One fundamental difference still ex-
lists that shows the Asiatic origin OF
the red.
The Rhode Island Reds do not re-
produce themselves with certainty as
to shade of color or style of comb,
but in practical points they may be
considered a distinct and well-estab
lished breed

Selecting Good Layers.

At the Maine Experiment station
they select the good layers by pick,
ing up the pullets which soonest show
red combs and begin to sing, as pull
lets do when getting ready to lay, and
putting them in a flock by themselves.
BY picking out these early layers
they got a flock which averaged $50
eggs during their first laying year
and a flock of that kind is good
enough for anyone

Attractive Garnishes.

Little pink curls of shrimps garnish
fish attractively when laid in circles
or half circles with small punches OF
parsley between each. Tomato or
green pepper cups made by scooping
out these vegetables in cup form with
or without a handle across the top
transfigure a plain lettuce salad that
is secured within them. Game may
be decorated with red currant jelly
cut in wee cubes, or stars of tart or
ange with little punches Of parsley be-
tween. Green foliage makes the best
decoration for fresh fruit.

During the past twelve months cat
tie buyers have been active in Louis
lana, Mississippi, Alabama. Georgia
and Florida, purchasing cattle to be
shipped to the middle western mar
kets as either Gamers or stockers.
The prices paid for Gamers during
this period have been so high that
thousands of cows and heifers have
gone to the shambles which should
have been retained on the farms for
breeding purposes. This is especially
noticeable when the receipts of south
ern cattle at the ST. Louis market
for the last IL months are compared
with those for any previous period OF
similar length. The receipts of Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana cat
tie at that market have almost dou-
bled during this period.
Since the first of February buyers
from the farms and ranches of the
west have been securing the gulf
states in search of breeding stock. A
few years ago this class of cattle
would have been scorned by the west
ern ranchman as breeding stock, but
with the shortage of cows for breed
ing purposes the ranchers are glad to
get these cheap cows, to which they
will breed good beef bulls. The half
breeds resulting from this mating
make fairly desirable beef animals.
Several thousand cattle have already
been sent from these states to Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas, and some of
them are said to have been shipped
as far as Montana.
Recently there were perhaps more
cattle unloaded at one time in Bir-
mingham, Ala, for feed, water and
rest while en- route to the western
ranges than have ever been seen In
that place before in one day. Georgia
and Florida are sending out thousands
of these native southern cattle at the
present time at prices ranging from
SIS to $23 head for mature animals.
A shipment of 40 carloads of cattle
was recently made from Osceola
county, Florida. in one day. They
were shipped to Kansas via Oklahoma
City. The cattle were dipped in ar
senical solution before loading, to free
them of ticks, and were to be dipped
again on arrival at Oklahoma City be-
fore going above the federal quaran-
tine line
Some people of the south seem glad
that these cattle are being shipped
out, as the number of scrub cattle is
being reduced and the south will get
better cattle as result. They do
not look far enough ahead, however.
or they would see that IL the short
age of cattle is such as to cause buy
ers to come from the far west to buy
these scrub cattle for breeding pur-
poses, the chances of southern farm
ers refilling their pastures with good
cattle are indeed small, for where are
these good breeding cattle to come
from at reasonable price? The best
and most profitable way Of getting
good cattle throughout the south is
to breed up the native cattle by the

| use of pure bred bulls, and by castrat-
ing all scrub bulls at an early age.
The south is especially adapted to
raising cattle, because of the long
grazing season, the enormous areas
of cheap land, much OF which is now
lying idle, the great variety of pas
ture grasses and legumes which grow
luxuriantly on all soils, and because
of the mild winters.
IL the western ranchman can afford
to pay southern farmers good prices
for cows. pay the high freight rates
to the west, stand the losses which
naturally occur during shipping thin
cattle such long distances, also bear
the losses due to a change OF climatic
conditions, and then make money on
them, why can not the southern farm
er who already owns the soils. keep
this stock on the farm and secure the
increased profits? He can If he will
free his cattle of ticks. increase the
efficiency of his pastures by planting
mixtures of lespedeza. bur clover.
white clover or perhaps melilotus,
alsike clover, and redtop over his pas
ture lands; and by raising more hays
and forage crops for wintering hia
stock and finishing them for market.
The surplus cattle can then be fat
tened by feeding cottonseed cake on
grass, or grazing fields of velvet
beans while feeding some concen-
trate; or they can be finished in the
dry lot during the winter months For
winter feeding no roughage has prov
en- more valuable than silage, as the
addition of it to feeding ration inya-
riably increases the size of the daily
gains and reduces their cost, thereby
making greater profits. The quality
and the quantity of silage which can
be produced on some OF these cneap
lands cannot be surpassed by the high
priced lands of the corn belt, whereas
the cost of producing it is far less be-
cause of the cheap labor.
The farmers of the south are there
fore urged to discontinue this whole
sale shipping OF their female cattle
to other states, to free the pastures OF
| the cattle tick, and to increase the
| number and quality of their cattle by
/ the use of pure-bred beef bulls. The
progeny will not only grow faster and
| make larger and better cattle, but will
be far more profitable to raise and to
feed than are the natives. The SOILS
will be increased in fertility by the
manure, which gives such profitable
returns when applied to the cotton
crop and puts vegetable matter into
the soil The amount of commercial
fertilizer necessary to produce crop
will be reduced and more bountiful
yield will be produced.

feeding cattle In the south and eradf-
eating the cattle ticks may be OBJ

are also advised to consult the depart

Tent Caterpillar.

The tent caterpillar is one Of the
most annoying of tree fruit pests.
Much of the annoyance may be avoid
ed by collecting the eggs during the
winter. These are laid in masses on
twigs They can be easily seen. Never
burn them. Place them where the
young worms cannot escape, but
where the parasites that are nearly
always present can fly away. These
parasites will take care of the cater
pillars that are missed when the eggs
were collected.
