GRANGER SONG.

And with the Changers stand,
A horney fisted farmer
With hay-stack in my hand,
To sally forth at midnight
The meadows for to NOW
And smite the wrathful humble bee
AS he skips DER the snow.
| want to buy bantam hog
A white alpaca COW,
A Wilson lock stitch gooseberry hedge
And patent leather pillow.
With catamounts in clover
To while away the hours,
And chase the wild potato bug
Among the burdoe flowers.
To dig the squash and cucumhers
And WELD the glittering hoe,
And climb the ruta bago tree
To see the parsnip grow,
With hair reviewers make the grass
On rocky mountains grow
Raise shoe PEEK oats for Connecticut
And white oak cheeses too.
I'd have bundle hen to lay
Boiled eggs three times a day,
And bowed herself and go to bed
With lightning bugs at play
At Austin Springs the ground hog
sings
The farmers all are jolly,
No flies on them nobody there
Is water-mel- an-choly.
And when the autumn days shall come
The sadest of the year
Too warm for wooden overcoats
Too cool for cobwebs clear,
I'll pull the wool from off the calf
From the cottonwood it's thread
Merrily dig the Bartlett pear
And weed the oyster bed.
And when the corn is in the barn
The huskers making merry,
They'll play the corn stalk and
string bean
And blow the thimble berry,
Bring forth the pumpkin vine and
crown
The Changers sovereign still,
And dance all night with katy-didS
The hopper-grass quadyille.
III go to Bristol every weel.
To get the price of beans
And send runner to Maine
To find the greenest greens,
Build rubber ships at Potlicker
For Rings best flour and tea
Buy out John Bull and Uncle Sam
And give them c. o. D.

THE CALUMET BAKING POWDER

The Southern states are indeed for

sive business houses of the country
are taking such an active interest in
the buy a bale" movement.
! The Calumet Baking Powder Co..
manufacturers of the most popular
brand of baking powder in the State,
are backing up their belief in the
south's ability to rapidly recover from
any temporary business setback. by
purchasing for each of their repre-
bale of middling cotton. Some of the
salesman of this company have also
purchased bales on their own respon-
sibility.
Every salesman carries recipe for
one or more bales with him, and also
wears buy bale" button.

spirit that over-comes a condition
which 25 years ago would have held

1t is certainly the right plan to use
business methods to combat
unnatural conditions, and the Calumet
Company is using it's brains" and

Although they can expect no big re-
turns from these investments, still
they shall not be the loser in any case,

COOPERATIVE FARMING.

In this age of cooperation, in which
manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests have attained wonderful develop
ment and success by merging their re-
sources, it is not to be wondered at
that cooperation has slowly but in
evitabIy wended it's way into rural
life. The old method of individualism
is gradually giving way to the coop
erative spirit and the result is a
greatly reduced cost of living and les
sened expense of farming.
Tennessee farmers are leading the
cooperative movement and it is grad
ually being extended into every feat
ure of community life.
