FARM PROBLEMS
Oranges Want Lectures on the
Subject of Cooperation.

Some Thoughts Of Timely Interest by
Marc w. Cole, Superintendent Of the
Bureau Of cooperation Of the De-
partment OF Agriculture, New York.
The history Of the growth and spread
Of the cooperative marketing idea In
New York state Is following almost ex-
actly the same lines as those abroad.
While a great maIy people believed
that cooperation offered The most feast.
Die solution of many OF the present day
problems In connection With food dis
.ribution, both producer and consumer
were very slow TO realize this and We're
very backward in taking NJ the actual
details of organizing cooperative asso-
Citations.
The movement was given Il new and
powerful impetus by the words of
Governor Glynn at the state agricul-
tural meeting and at the conference in
the executive chamber which followed
Previous to this. although there were
laws upon the statute books which
permitted the formation of these asso-
Citations and authorizing them. no great
interest was taken. There were only
four or five strictly cooperative COM
panies doing business. Since that
speech of Governor Glynns letters from
all over the state have come to the
bureau asking for information about
cooperation and assistance in the form
ing of organizations. At present there
are sixteen cooperative companies in
corporated under the new law. and
many more localities have expressed
a desire to form these organizations.
The Federation Of Jewish Farmers
Of America we're really the pioneers In
cooperative purchase of farm supplies
and cooperative credit in this state, and
this federation was quick to realize the
importance and necessity Of organiza-
ton work
Quite recently at Hurleyville, n. Y,
cooperative creamery has been es-
tablished. and the butter and cheese
manufactured there Is to be shipped
every day to New York city, where 1t
will be delivered by special representa-
tives of the creamery direct to the con-
sumers' houses This will insure to
New York consumers strictly fresh |
dairy products. delivered not later than
twenty four hours after manufacture, |
and will save the unnecessary handling |
of these products by three or four mid
dlemen. This creamery intends also
to market eggs in the same way. The
most unique feature of this co-opera-
tive creamery is that it will share the
profits OF its operations with the con
sumner He will get at the end Of the
year % per cent of the profits OF the
creamery Fifty per cent Of these prof

UNLOCKED FOODS.
Desirable For Summer Use Since They
Are Diqested Easily.

To preserve the health in summer
make the simple foods your first choice.
In selecting fruit always give prefer
ence to that which has ripened on the
parent stalk.
Bananas. for instance. should never
be cut from the stalk as long as a
speck OF green remains. You can often
buy bananas at half price because they
are black. II they are not decayed they
are much better food than yellow ba
nanas.
Dates, figs and raisins are all good
foods and can be used 10 good adyan.

The Quickest, Simplest
 Cough Remedy Easily and Cheaply Made at Home. Saves You e2.

This plan makes a pint of cough syrup-enough to last family a long time. You couldn't buy as much or as good cough syrup for $2.5O.
 Simple as it is, it gives almost in- stant relief and usually conouers an ordinary cough in 24 hours. This is partly due to the fact that it is slightly laxative, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to take-children like it. An excellent remedy, too, for whooping cough, spasmodic croup and bronchial asthma.
 Mix one pint of eranulated sugar with + pint of warm water. and stir for minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worthl in a pint bottle. and add the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in g.taiacol and other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this combination.
 The prompt results from this mixture have endeared it to thousands of house. wives in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been initiated often, but never successfully.
 guaranty of absolute satisfaction. or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not send to The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
