WAY TO SUCCESS AND HONOR
Co-operation Is Strictly Business Prop osition With Object of Securing
 Consumers Money.

Why does a man who can readily top the markets with his farm prod ucts. join a group of less fortunate farmers and forego his selling advan- tage for the common good?
 The answer is. of course, that he doesn't.
 And therein lies the grave of many a cooperative enterprise. good in the ory, failing only in the essential mat ter of getting men to stick"
 Co-operatives have to face the stiff fact that cooperation is a business matter, undertaken in order to secure a greater share of the consumers dol lar. The men who go into co-opera- tive venture and lose, go out again. Whatever may be said for that course of action 1t is quite understandable. Altruism is one of the most Haunted and least bankable of all cooperative assets.
 Watch the ventures that succeed. They are those founded upon a gen eral need, that follow established business principles. that expect no un- paid-for- fayors. that make good man agement and a net profit the tests of success.
 Of such cooperative enterprises there are many instances. and their success leads to a friendlier and broader community life. By ehoos- ing such co-operatives as model those starting new associations can find the way to success and honor Farm. Stock and Home

R RaQ-Time." "

Rag time music, being in no wise serious IS the reverse of depressing. The African jingles of the present day create an emotional atmosphere of restlessness and excitement which is typcally American. and which IS opposed to health only so far as our national restlessness and lack ot poise tend to make us people whose na. tional disease is nervous exhaustion.
 Roughly speaking. lively music. such as rag-time. is likely to rouse de- pressed persons from their melan. choly, sad and pathetic music will soothe the excitable and hypernerv. ous.

MARKED CHANGE IN OPINION
NaturaIists Claim That Ideas Held by Former Colleagues Were Based
 on Wrong Conclusions.

Naturalists are not pinning their faith to all the theories Of the Dar- winians, as they were few years ago. They are ready to discard any theory as soon as it is demonstrated to be incompatible with facts. One of the latest ideas to be cast into the dis card is that every part Of a plant or of an animal had definite value and played part in securing it's survival
 This change in attitude is well illus trated by all article i'll the Journal of Heredity in which the editor ex- presses the opinion that the extra floral nectaries found on cherries, cowpeas and other legumes, castor beans, ferns, etc., just happen;' they have no particular reason; once there they remain, for they are of no disad- vantage.
 Neetaries are the glands that secrete nectar. They are found ln most flowers, but in many are also found on the leaf stems Many theo- ries as to their use have been ad- yanced, but long experimentation has proved each of these theories to be erroneous.
 We can hardly avoid the conclu- sion in many cases, writes the edi- tor. that they have no vital func- tion and that the plant would proba- ply get along just as well without them.3 although he admits that it is dangerous Tor man to assume Jhae he can understand all the ways Of Nature and decide by his own stand ards whether or not certain struc- ture is of value to plant.

where insects are bad. Stalk cutters have been In use for years In this country, though their use has been limited because of the large acreage put into crop in the short space of time available. The cylinder on which the blades are mounted is lowered in to contact with the ground when the machine is pulled into stalk field. rolling along as the cutter is pulled. The stalks are strengthened by guide rod that drags on both sides of the row ahead of the cutting cylinder. so that practically every stalk is cut into even lengths and easily put under ground when plowed.-The Farming Business.

How to Clean Stone Window Stills

How to Clean Stone Window Stills.
 In the Woman's Home Companion Missouri woman told as follows how to clean stone steps or stone window sills:
 Get five cents worth of the coars- est sandpaper and rub stone steps or stone window sills briskly until all marks are removed, then simply dust them with a duster or rag. They will stay white much longer by using this method than serubbing them with water. l always wear pair of canvas gloves, as they protect the hands from any scratching"

TURNING CATTLE ON CLOVER
Preventive Measures Are Always Best in Wardins Of Bloat-Make
 Change in Feed Gradually.

(By ". H. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana Ex-
 pertinent Staton.l
 When cattle consume large quanti- ties of green which they have not been accustomed to 1t rapidly fer ments in the paunch, and the gas there produced causes distension of this large stomach on the left side of the animal. with the characteristic appearance and general train of symp- toms familiar to most cattle owners.
 Preventive measures always give the most satisfactory results in ward ing off this condition. Sudden changes of feed are risky at all times, but more so, perhaps. in this trouble than in some others. When first turn ing cattle on clover 1t should be done gradually until the digestive organs become accustomed to the change; and the safest way is not to permit them to eat this succulent feed for longer than 20 minutes to half an hour the first day. and increase the length of the period each day after wards until it seems to have lost it's bloating effect. It is safer. also, not to turn the cattle on to this pasture until the dew or frost has gone off it. Another method is to allow the cattle some dry feed, such as hay. etc. before turning them on the clover. which tends to prevent fer mentation of so much of the green feed After short while, when the stomach has accommodated itself to the change from the dry to the suc- culent feed. the animals may consume large quantities of the latter with out apparent inconvenience.

chasing of cows should be carried on in limited way only. It is, of course. always in order to buy cows when the object is to add to the herd pure bred individuals of exceptional dairy merit But the practice of buying cows should never be carried to the point of making it the principal means of replenishing the herd, especially since the latter can be accomplished much more satisfactorily by raising the calves from the best COWS.
