LADDERS FOR THE ORCHARDS
Japanese contrlvance is Useful for
Work in Tall Trees-Light and
Easy to Manipulate.

The wise orchardist has learned
something about the use and abuse OF
ladders. The first essential In the
raising Of fruit trees is to prune the
heads Of the trees and keep them low.
This will make picking the fruit easy
and safe without the use of anything
but the stepladder
For work In tall trees, the japanese
ladder Is very useful. This Is lighter
than the trestle ladder, as well as
easier to manipulate among the
branches because of its pointed shape.
Lightest Of all the tall ladders is the
single rail ladder, but as 1t is also least
safe and comfortable for the user, 1t
Is not likely to become widely popular.
Any ladder which must be set against
the tree is menace to 1t. or all the
numerous styles OF ladders, some form
of stepladder is best adapted to the
orchard, whether the welfare Of the
tree Ia considered or the comfort OF
the picker. Perhaps the best type Of
ladder is the one substantially built,
yet light enough to be handled easily
by one man. The wide spread of the
legs at the bottom Of the steps makes
the ladder especially stable.

No man wins lasting success by
lodging the truth.
We cannot cure the sorrows OF our
neighbors by sympathy alone.
The best book for farmer. next to
the Bible is an account book.
1t is fine thing to be 'soft-hearted'
as long as one is also hard headed.
The stay-at-home always accumu-
lates more money than the gadabout.
Good luck consists In having sense
enough to keep on the job all the
time.
Whatever else you fail to do, don't
fail to read the fine print in the agents
contract.
Wherever the sky line is broken by
a silo. be sure there is a live farmer
in that neighborhood.
II we were as good as our moth
ers believe we are, what yirtuods
lot Of men We would be.
II we all saved everything that now
goes to waste there need not be a
farm mortgage in existence.
The cow that produces only 100
pounds of butter a year has missed
her calling. She should have been
a steer.
II there is need of new riding
plow and washing machine and you
cannot afford both, let the plow wait
until next season.
The farmer who deposits his prof
its in his soil. his animals and build
ings will do better than the man who
leaves his money in the bank.
The grass in the next pasture al
ways looks greener to the discontented
COW, and the opportunities to make
money always loom large in some
other state.

ODD COINAGE ON NIGERIA
Legal Tender That IS Unhandy to
Carry About in Any Consider
able Quantity.

Among the strangest coins in the
world are those used in certain out-of.
the-way towns and villages in south.
west Nigeria. on the west coast OF
Africa, and called 'manillas." In shape
they resemble horseshoe with the
two eXtremities tlattened out like a
camei's foot. Being made of solid
copper, three.eighths OF an inch thick,
they weigh over eight ounces each.
In face value" seven OF these queer
coins are equivalent to one quarter,
so that dollars worth would be an
uncomfortable, heavy load
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives. but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one
time the strangely shaped money had
quite circulation in certain parts OF
the coast, but its use is now restricted
to few bush towns and one or two
of the smaller seaboard places, includ.
ing Bonny Brass and Akassa. MA,
nillas' are now very difficult to OBJ
tain, and curio collectors value them
not solely by reason OF their scarcity,
but because of the novel serviette
rings they make when silver plated.

Before CONGRESS of Vienna.

One hundred years ago Alexander
of Russia, the king of Prussia and
other sovereigns, accompanied by q
large retinue Of. diplomatists and sol,
diers, made their solemn entry into
Vienna to take part in the congress
which was to readjust the map OF
Europe. The thrones which Napoleon
had overturned were to be righted and
the old despots whom he had dis.
missed were to be given back their
scepters. The first weeks of the con-
gress, however. were not devoted to
the serious business at hand but we're
spent in a succession of magnificent
festivities. Notwithstanding the finan-
cial ruin of the country, Austria ap-
propriated sums amounting to thou
sands Of dollars daily to provide balls,
banquets, concerts and other enter.
tainments for the visiting monarchs
and their advisers.

FEDERATION OF IMPORTANCE
OF Great Service In Furnishing In.
formation and Inspiration to lo-
cals-one Notable Example.

One great weakness of the cooper
ative company Is its limitation to one
little spot when the economies Of the
business demand wider scope Of ac-
tivity. For example, independent COM
panies of many descriptions have
found 1t advantageous to unite into
unions or declarations in very many in
stances. This as rule has been done
to eliminate unnecessary costs such
as duplication of marketing expenses.
Cooperative companies In this coun-
try have been slow to form such fed
erations. There are, however. few
notable examples of federations. The
largest and best known one is the Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange which is made
up Of district and local companies.
Attempts have been made to unite the
local cooperative grain selling COM
panies into federations but thus far
without conspicuous success. Simi-
lar attempts have also been made in
the butter and cheese business but
not great progress has been made al
though some promising efforts are now
under way.
Not only can federation hope to
improve further the marketing faci-
Titles Of the local companies; but 1t
can be OF great service In furnishing
information and inspiration to the 10
Gals. 1t probably could keep ade-
quate and uniform accounts. and thus
render one Of the greatest Of serv-
ices. This would lead naturally to the
question of audits. and no other au-
thority is in as good position to audit
the accounts Of the local companies
as would be federation Of such COM
panies. For putting life into the CO.
operative movement a federation, or
association. Of local units is unques-
tionably Of prime importance.

Feeding cottonseed Meal.

Poultry keepers using cottonseed
meal often produce bad results In
their focks. Because they can feed
considerable quantities of linseed
meal without harm they argue the
same for cottonseed meal. This last
is very fattening and causes eggs to
be laid without shells, besides pro-
ducing Inflammation finally. One tea
spoonful Of cottonseed meal every

OPTIMISM FROM THE SOUTH
One Effect OF Cotton Condition viii be
to Force liberalization Of Crops
Among Farmers.

Business depression in Texas and
Louisiana Ia only apparent; there is
no good reason for any apprehension" !"
declared H. M. Maynard. Of Baton
Rouge. La, while in Washington the
other day. Il am optimistic about
the future. It Is true that the lack Of
an immediate market for cotton has
caused some disturbance in all lines
of business. but the first result Of the
European war is passing. Cotton is
beginning to move in Texas and Lou
isiana, and is selling for price that
enables the farmer to make profit.
"One effect Of the cotton condition
will be to force diversifcation Of
crops. and the business men-bankers
and others-are getting well behind
this movemen. for diversification. The
slogan is less cotton and more corn.
forage ana cattle Farmers are re-
spending sd we expect a marked
change by ahe time the planting sea-
son is on. The present situation has
demonstrated that the South cannot
exist on one crop. In Louisiana the
sugar planters have come to realize
that they will do well to give less
attention to sugar and more to other
crops. Notwithstanding sugar prices
are up. there IL strong feeling that
In the future the farmers must raise
more corn. ensilage crops and cattle.
The railroad conditions are not what
they should be. but we do not believe
that this is good reason for general
business depression"

COOPERATE IN PRODUCTION
Farmers Should Aim to Grow Same
Kind Of Crop or Stock to Secure
Uniformity and Standardization.

Uniformity and Standardization can
not be secured II one member Of
local union. or cooperative associa-
tion, persists in planting Irish cobbler
potatoes, another the Red Bliss and
another the Burbank, and so on. The
same principle holds, true with many
other products as well as livestock,
writes ]. 2. Green in Progressive
Farmer.
| The first step In cooperation should
begin in the selection Of one particular
kind and then stick to that For in
stance. il local union decides to put
IL to l5 acres In potatoes all the men,
bers should plant the same kind Of
potato. You will then be able to fill
two or three cars with a specific~vari-
ETY.. And this concert of action in Sc
curing large enough acreage in the
vicinity to make car shipments IL also
important. II you intend to reach the
larger consuming centers that buy
only In carload shipments.
Cooperation In production has paid
mighty nice premiums. to those COM
munities where groups of farmers
have united In the production of GER
tain types Of pure-bred dairy and beef
cattle. In fact, there are very few
fields of cooperative activity in which
there are greater opportunities for
tangible and profitable results than
through cooperative breeders asso-
Citations. In the substitution of grain
and feed products for cotton we will
need more live stock to feed It
doesn't cost any more to feed good
stock than to feed scrubs. The cheap
est and most practical way to i'm
prove your live stock is through organ
lied community live stock associations.
The purchase of 5000 sire would be
heavy expense for one farmer. but
SIS each for 20 farmers in the COM
munity would represent no burden
some expense.
In our change OF program In the
South let us remember again that we
are going to fail to compete in pro-
duction Of food products with the
West unless we substitute. as far as
