until a litter of pigs is raised. This
will be done if there is a sufficient

gratifying thing about this unusual in

The eet.rosether Spirit

Every town that is town has the
Iget-together spirit. Merchants and
farmers and the people generally work
together for q better town, bettre iiv.
ing conditions, better amusements and
more personal ircs,lorl. Here are
some rules for the gttog sthers:
The town and the farming commun.
ity cannot succeed without co-opera-
ton and mutual assistance.
Farmers should forget the wild char
ges of the demagogues and consider
their own interests in relation to the
railroads and better railroad facilities.
Legislation against business interests
simply because they are business in
terests, is not always the best for the
farmer.
Help the people of adjacent towns
to make the towns alive Don't
have the nearest town % you the dead
one.
Rural prosperity depends upon the
ease with which shipments are mrdc
Railroads don like the dead towns.
Don't back ths legis,at,oA that w'l,
kill the town.
Farmers should Duy from home deal
ers. Keep your money ia the com
munity where 1t adds to the CONNER.
cial life of everyone In town.
Every dollar the farmer puts into
his adjacent towns helps him: 1t adds
to the value of his own holdings
The town merchants should make
the afrmer welcome. Keep the things
he wants to buy and sell them at a
price he is willing to pay.
Make your town so live that people
will want to come there to spend the
week end. People avoid the dead
town.
Let the farmer know that you are
trying to help him as well as to help
yourself.
The town merchant should advertise
30 that the farmer may know where
he can buy his goods and come for
them.
The farmer says to the local mer.
chant, "show me-" Show him by ad.
vertlsing what you have to sell.
Get together.-Lamar Sparks.

SIMILARITY AS TO HENS
AND PEOPLE SET FORTH

There is a great similarity between
hens and people. One of the worst
trials on the ranch is the sitting hen
that never sits but always wants to
be visiting around and gassing with
the neighbors. This is merely habit
and it can be cured by converting the
hen into chicken fricassee. With some
hens, the more noise they make the
less work they do. We once had an
old White Wyandotte that never
would lay an egg unless she was hand
cuffed, and yet to hear her talk you
would think she could produce more
store eggs in passing a given point
than a female ostrich. A lazy, lippy
brood hen can do more to demoralize
the hennery and SOW seeds Of discon-
tent in the minds of her co-laborers
than any other agency except the
chicken mite which has to be pried of
with a cold chisel.
