STRAY DOGS LONELY VIGIL
In Five Years Canine Has Never
Deserted Grave in Ohio
Cemetery.

FultOnham, ON the cemetery a
homeless cur mOurns on the grave of
George Baker. The people call her
"the graveyard dog" Five years ago
the animal went TO the cemetery fol.
lowing the funeral procession Of
Baker, an aged farmer, who died at
his home near there. Every night the
dog keeps a close vigil over the grave
1t sleeps for hours at q stretch during
the day on the little mound that marks
Bakers resting place.
Villagers long ago gave up hope of
coaXing the dog away. She leaves the
cemetery only long enough each day to
search for food Friends of Baker say
he never owned the dog. Cemetery
trustees refuse to drive the animal
away and she seems likely to spend
the rest of her days in this strange
and unusual manner.

PURE WATER OF IMPORTANCE
Expense Of Earthen or Iron Drinking
Vessels Is Small-keep Away
All Disease Germs.

The farmer who allows his fowls to
drink impure water is inviting disease
into his flock, It costs but little to
have chrthcn or iron drinking vessels,
and In these the water can be kept
clean and pure, Plenty Of pure water
should be at the disposal OF the chick
ens ut III times. II Is not enough to
say there is plenty Of water for them

Bunch Of LandIubbers.
Some Of the men enlisted for the
cruise are the veriest landlubbers.
There are bankers, brokers, lawyers,
ministers, mechanical mining and civil
engineers, business men Of various
sorts, artists and several bona iide
newspaper men in the New York de-

that the first thing newcomer aboard

But not this time. There wei be
no mental labor for the rockies. They
aren't above it. They have promised

are ordered to do. But Assistant Sec

RAISE MORE MEAT ANIMALS
Only In Recent Years That Farmers
Have Been Given Any Encour.
aqement to Raise Cattle.

Farmers are being lectured good
deal about raising more meat animals.
particularly cattle. The fact is that
only in recent years have they had
any encouragement to raise more cat
tie.
The competitors on the range had
free land and feed-two mighty ad-
vantages And now, when the COM
petition of free land is passing away.
our farmers are asked to compete
with the cheap land, feed and labor Of
the rest of the world. 1t was not
strange that farm beef production de-
clined under the old range competi-
ton It is not strange that it in
creases slowly under the shadow of
foreign competition.
When farmers see before them the
prospect of steadily profitable beef
production they will take it up again.
And until they see this the packers.
the newspapers, the department Of ag-
riculture and all others who want
farmers to raise more cattle so that
beef may be cheaper will fret in vain.

MUST WORK FOR EACH OTHER
City Merchant and Farmer Should
Never Lose Sight OF Their Mu-
tual Interests and Rights.

The merchant needs the farmer. No
merchant will refuse to go far to en-
list the interest Of the man from the
farm in his own town. On the other
hand the farmer needs the home town.
without the nearby town farm values
would be much lower and in every
way life on the farm less attractive.
Without the market at hand the price
of produce would be cut in two and
the profits of farming greatly lessened.
City man and farmer should never
lose sight of their mutual interests
and rights. Neither could prosper
without the other and both must make
concessions to the wishes Of the other.

COTTON GINS ARE A SUCCESS
Farmers viii Do Well to Seriously
Consider Question Of Owning
and Operating Mills.

II the dairy farmers and grain farD-
ers of the West own and run their
elevators and creameries on the CO.
operative, patronage-dividend plan.
why shouldn't the cotton farmers of
the South own and run their cotton
gins and cottonseed oil mills on the
same plan-that is to say % pay
legal interest on capital stock and (2)
divide all other profits on the basis of
patronage-nonmemb getting pat
ronage dividends at one-half the rates
allowed members.
We don't mean by this that farmers
ought. to begin a boycott of any exist
ing gins or cottonseed oil mills. or
that cooperative gins and mills should
be started in opposition to honestly
conducted plants of this kind now run
ming on the old capitalistic basis. But
wherever a section needs a new cot
ton gin or a new cottonseed oil mill.
or wherever there is a good chance
to buy out gin or mill on a profitable
basis, the farmers will do well to in
quire If a group of them cannot get
together and take another step toward
Fastening the time when the farmer
will own all the businesses engaged In
marketing or finishing farm products.
Out in Haskell. Knox and Fisher
counties, Texas. the farmers are al
ready getting this idea and operating
a number of successful cotton gins.
Writing in the Farmers Fireside Bull
letin, Manager J. N. Hudson of the
O'Brien gin says: From the 1914
crop those eleven gins have ginned
So 900 bales of cotton, shipped 675
cars, or 1875 tons of cottonseed, and
their total business will reach $780,.
600, with a saving Of 100000 to the
people. And when say the people, |
mean the men that planted and plowed
the crop, and the little boys and girls
who chopped the cotton and pulled
the sacks up and down the long rows
and harvested the crops."-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.
