Sounded Personal,

In town in the West there is church that has bright young pastor, but the attendance is unfortunately small. Among the parishioners there is beautiful young widow. One eve ming, just as the little widow was about to leave the edifice, she was addressed by the deacon.
 Good evening, sister, he cordially remarked with the usual handshake, How did you like the sermon this evening""
 q think that it was just too perfect ly lovely for anything" was the en- thusiastic reply of the widow.
 Tt was, indeed!" heartily returned the deacon. T only wish that larger congregations would come to hear him.

GIVE PREFERENCE TO COTTON
Many Ways in Which Merchants and Others Gan Help Greatest h.
 dustry in United States.

One of the great flouring mills has adopted the policy of using cotton bags for its flour wherever the trade can be induced to accept them. This should be perfectly easy. except in certain foreign lands where the peo- pie. for some reason, prefer jute bags
 American merchants can help the greatest industry in the United States by pushing on the market the beauti- ful table and bed clothes made of cot ton. They are fully the equal of linen In appearance and in serviceableness.
 Cotton wrapping twine has been adopted by the government depart ments at Washington. instead of the hemp and jute fibers.
 For all purposes for which cotton is adapted in price and quality, cotton should be given the preference. Buy a bale is a good slogan, but the mil. lions who can buy only tiny fraction of bale may do so by giving pref erence to cotton where possible. By so doing they will serve the nation's 8 greatest and most depressed industry and save money.

 In all sections where dairying is be- ing conducted cattle foods are each year becoming more costly and every dairyman should make every effort to reduce the cost of his COW feeds
 Instead of feeding hay that is worth fifteen dollars a ton he should re- place a large portion of it with en- silage, which can be raised chiefly by machine labor.
 Instead of supplementing poor pasture with purchased grain foods he should raise oats and peas, green corn and other green soiling crops.
 Instead of buying fattening foods like corn meal he should buy milk producing foods like bran, eettonseed meal and gluten meal. As a rule 1t $ most profitable to buy the kind that will produce the most protein at the least cost
 Make the business as self-support- ing as possible by raising as much of tRe feed for the dairy as your farm and circumstances will allow.
 Many of the failures in dairying are due to the fact that farmers disre- gard these points and go out and buy grain foods without discriminating judgment
 To keep good COWS and feed them good, wholesome food in abundance and provide this food cheaply is ab- solutely necessary if we make a sub- stantial profit from the business.
 There is no rule for feeding dairy cows that can be laid down, that will apply to all cows alike; and still the success of the herd will depend large ly upon procuring the best produe- tion at the lowest cost from each COW.
 Cows should be fed to their eapac- fly to obtain the best results, but many feeders do not seem to realize what we mean when We speak of dairy cows capacity.
 We should study our COWS closely. Watch their feed boxes to see that they clean up all of their feed and

 We are all inclined to consider a man a fine fellow if he is a good listener to our hot air.
 You have heard much about the high cost of living but what about the high cost of being a sport?
 It is an cid axiom, that it is hard for an empty sack to stand straight, but still harder for lazy man to sue ceed as a farmer.

FARMERS IN GOOD POSITION
to Supply European Nations Demand for Necessities.

The farmers of this country should take courage, no matter how general the effect of the great war The posi- tion of the American farmer is the most secure of all the classes. He is at least sure of a living, with shel- ter and plenty to eat, says American Gultivator No other large class can be sure of that much, but there is more than merely security for the farmers.
 While the req of the worlds pro- ducers are fighting and consuming food products. somebody must raise more food, and nowhere else in the world is there such a great area of the best of food-produclng land under intelligent management and worked with modern machinery Under the spur of high prices the soil of our farms could be made to produce far more than at present. The crop of most farms could be doubled if the price of the product looked attrac, tive
 It seems quite certain that the ne cessities of life will go higher in price, not only for this year, but for the next. The farmers of Europe who are now In the armies will hardly be able to do much with this years crop. nor probably with the crop for next year. There will surely be a great difficulty in maintaining the food supply of the populous nations of Europe. There may be difficulty in securing means of shipment, and it may be hard for the buyers to find the cash, but these needs will have to be met by the peo- ple of Europe Both those at war and those at peace must be fed. Our ex- porters are not very likely to sell any thing unless paid for in advance Sev- eral of the nations that are usually the chief customers in food products will be likely to control the sea and thus allow free shipment of food at least to their own ports. It will be time when the demand will be for the necessities rather than the luxu- ries There will be. perhaps. less money both at home and abroad, to spend for fruit and garden truck, but the demand will be enormous for such staples as grain, flour, meats and pc tatoes, and even for the less needful food articles like butter. cheese and eggs

FAILURES IN COOPERATION
or Graft, or Both-General Sys- tenn Is Approaching.

In the United States the<e are l large number of cooperative associa tions. Not all of them have succeeded been a failure it invariably can be traced to bad management. or graft, or both. We dc not have however. anything approaching a general sys- tenn of cooperation in this country, but in my judgment we are evolving toward that condition, writes T. A. IcNeal in Farmers Mail and Breeze
 The fact that the competitive sys- tenn, If it can be called a system. is wasteful, uneconomic, brutal and final ly leads 10 the destroying Of the gov ernment. war and finally anarchy. is gradually permeating the minds even ef men who have themselves proffted most from the system When a Gug genheim declares that "every worker Is entitled to job and that the gov ernment should see that he gets it. - with good deal more along the same line 1t would seem that new light is d-wning.
 do not look for general co-opera- tion to be brought about by a sudden revolution It will come about gradu- ally, spreading until it covers the en- tire nation. It will cot then be one system but large number of sys tens working together in harmony
 There will be national cooperation. concerning matters that are naturally and as for example, will be owned by the na- tion. There will be a system of banks owned and operated by the govern ment to facilitate the exchange of commodities There will be govern ment warehouses in which commodi- ties that are not easily perishable will be stored There will be public works to develop such resources as are na- tional in character, such as the build ing of interstate railroads the improy- ing of nayigable rivers; the develop ing of the waterpower of such rivers.
 There will be state cooperation along lines that may be determined properly to come within the jurisdic- tion of states. Such think would be the constructing of wagon roads, for example. There will be cooperation in the lesser municipalities such as cities, towns, counties and townships concerning matters that are local in their character and which can be bet. ter managed in a local way than by either the nation or the state. All these cooperative units will work to- gether harmoniously but to a large degree independently. each within its own proper sphere, just as there are in the universe an infinite number of systems. each perfect within itself but all moving together in perfect har- mony.

GIVE BROOD SOW ATTENTION
As Farrowing Time Approaches AnI- nal Should Be Placed In Sep
 arate, Roomy, Clean Pen.
(By J. FULLER9

Healthy sows that have been prop erly cared for during pregnancy will have little difficulty at farrowing time. They should be housed in proper quarters and up to farroWing time have their usual feed. Knowing the date the SOW was bred. the date she is due to farrow can be determined easily. The period of gestation for swine ranges from 112 to 116 days.
 As farrowing time approaches. the SOW should be put into a clean. roomy pen in a hog house or into separate portable pen. When the udder of the SOW becomes distended and milk can be drawn from tho teats, she may be expected to farrow In about 24 hours. She should be watched closely now to see that Ter bowels are operating in the proper manner and that she may be comfortable. At this time a slop ration is better than a dry feed.

Wood Spirits.

The woman of today remarks that the members of her family are all well. and then says she must touch wood." and she does it, even as the Druids in old Britain sought to propitiate the trees, and the nymphs presiding over the trees The dryads were propiti- ated with gifts of milk, oil and honey by the Greeks.
 Every woman, it is safe to say, has some superstition, and touching wood" to get the good will of the spirit of the tree is only one of many which each may choose her own particular super stition
