ton our village church which ia so
excellently attended. The various
creeds meet here in sweet co-opera-
ton. and learn the lessons of divine
fellowship, which is the secret of our
community.
Time will not permit me to tell OF
the boys clubs, the girls clubs. and
the children's clubs, which are all un

clubs. r
Lastly. 1t might be said that the
progress we now enjoy originated in
our first rganization-the Farmers
Union, which owes it's inspiration TO
our great organ. The Progressive

Our soil was once thought to be the
poorest. 1t is said that not many
years ago two farms in and adjoining
our community were sold respectively
for brass COW bell and a sewing ma
chine. Now that land could not be
purchased for $50 an acre. Our far
mers have put their heads together in
the Union and found that all we lack
ed was the knowledge of tillage.
Work is beginning this week on our
$4,000 brick building which will give
the best advantage to our 800 public
school children, while the Pineland
School for Girls brings a large pa
tronage from nine counties and three
states to enliven our community and
add additional educational interests

The only way for white folks to avoid

When you come to think about it, isn't

mer is face to face with q peculiar
economic condition. condition made
different from that of any other sec

his family at great disadvantage il
they enter into direct competition
with that inferior race in the produc-

produced by the most ignorant labor.
Members of the Farmers Union

of pure-bred sires are laying well the
| foundation The direct income for
the cream or butter from one good
cow is six to eight dollars per month.
And there are three by-products from
the cow-(1) the skim milk for the
calf, the hogs or chickens, CD the calf
that is raised yearly from the cow,
and 60 the manure, which is better

you can buy. But the cow business
does not pay its best without cooper

and in the purchase and exchange OF

In this field Of cooperation organ

There is another phase of this inn

/ This is another economic advantage
that should not be lost sight. of, but
the only practical and economic way
for the average farmer to have the
use of all the expensive labor-saving

THE HORSE STILL HOLDS HIS
OWN AGAINST AUTOMOBILE.

The following, showing that the
horse is holding his own against the
automobile, is taken from the current
issue of Farm and Fireside:
Reports from the Union Stock
Yards of Chicago give the interesting
fact that there are now employed in
Chicago 1898 horses, or only 287
less than year ago. In Boston the
number of horses is only so less than
ten years ago. Minneapolis has 158
more, and st. Louis 100 more, than
ten years ago. Inasmuch as the city
driving and carriage horses has rap
idly disappeared the figures show that
more draft-horses are in use today
than ever BEFORE motor vehicle not
withstanding." !.

ARE FARMERS MORE CAREFUL OF
STOCK THAN THEIR FAMILIES?

The current issue of Farm and
Freside contains a department en-
titled "The Experience Bazaar" This
is an open market for the exchange
of experiences where readers give
and gather the fruits of their expe-
rience. The following is a contribu-
ton to this department on the sub
ject of better babies:
II am very much interested in this
movement for better babies. think
it is good idea to go back and begin
with the fathers and mothers. Talk
with our farmers and see how careful
they are in breeding their stock. Do
they take their choicest young heifer
or mare and turn her loose, or do
they separate her, leaving her quiet
and cared for until she shall bring
forth her young?
"In the home it is different. The
wife is not cared for in the some
scientific way. She is expected while
bearing children to continue her usual
duties as wife. Can we have healthy,
happy mothers and wholesome babies
under such conditions? / once heard
a physician say, Surely man has
fallen lower than the beasts and the
testimony of thousands of women
shows this to be true. What is the
result? Mothers worn out and UNI
able to care for their children.
seWomen have been taught they
must submit, and men that they have
a right to demand. Is it not time
that such teaching should. stop and
