Difficult Commission.

T kinda hate to do errands for the home folks when I go to Kansas City" confessed a citizen of Petunia. The ether day, after 1 had taken my seat in the train, a neighbor came tearing to the depot and hollered at me till opened the car window. He wanted me to fetch back half dozen small china nest eggs for the use of his hens and half a dozen big china eggs for his geese. He had forgotten to bring samples with him, but held up his hands as the train started and yelled to me that the little ones were about this long-spreading the thumb and torefinger of his left hand apart and the big ones this size-spread- ing the same two fingers on his right hand--anC shouted that if I'd hold my hands that way until I got the eggs couldn't make a mistake. Now, let me ask ycu, how would l have looked hunting all over Kansas City for an artificial egg store with my hands held out in front of me in that style, espe- cially as l had a sore thumb and a suitcase to carry ?"-Kansas City Star

FAIR PROFIT FOR PRODUCER
and Manage Selling Associa- tions Among Farmers.

Organized marketing must take the place of unwise and suicidal competi- tive individual selling on eongested local markets before we can reason ably hope to obtain fair share of the wealth which we are creating on our farms. 1t Is folly to contend that CO., operative marketing is impracticable in the face of the many living exam pies In localities where marketing as- sociations are doubling the profits of cooperative members. It Is true that 1t Is no easy task to successfully or ganize and manage a selling associa tion. but the very fact that it requires patient and persistent effort makes it all the more profitable for those who stay by it during the formative and experimental period of it's existence
 In this connection, let us again sound warning against big schemes of cooperation in which 1t is proposed to include every farmer in the whole neighborhood or county. Successful CO., operation never begins that way Building the cooperative structure on tiV LII LUdL farmers. even 100 farmers, are surely going to fall right in line as loyal CO., operators is like counting chickens before they are matched It is this unwise presumption that dooms many cooperative ventures to disappoint- ment and failure.
 The best cooperative marketing as- sociitions have started with small groups of men and have gradually en- larged the fielu of operation as the men in charge acquired experience and became worthy of confidence. In view of this condition. why lose time dream. ing of some Dig cooperative scheme? :? If you can't cooperate first with small group of farmers in your own neighborhood with whom you are per sonally acquainted. how can you ex. pect to coop crate. in a big scheme, with farmers that you do not know?- The Progress,v, Farmer

SEES FIFTEEN-CENT COTTON
Columbus Teacher Predicts Better Times for Southern Farmers
 Outlook Is Cheering.

The sharp decline in the cotton market this week Is only temporary. We will see 15-cent cotton by March l." said Columbus Teacher to a Bir. mingham Age-Herald representative the other day.
 The unusually high price of seed. to say nothing of the good prices be- ing paid for the staple. has caused great rush to the gin.
 The farmers are fast getting out of debt. Friends of mine who had given notes for large amounts in pur- chasing fertilizer and other commodi- ties have taken up their paper in full at maturity.
 "The situation in the cotton belt IS for the most part cheering. With crop diversification continued next year. Alabama should be in fine shape when the 1916 cotton crop is ready for mar ket."

COSTLY CLOSING OF CANALS
How Freight Rates Have Been ln- creased by Interruption of
 World Traffic.

Trade is suffering severely from the closing of the canal. and the shippers who made use of it during the months it was in operation now realize vividly what the interoceanic waterway means to them. One western firm is sending two freight boats from the Pacific to the Atlantic, where char ters are highly profitable and finds that it will cost s15,000 more for the trip around the Horn than it would through the canal. Freight rates from the eastern to the western sea board have about trebled The effect of the stoppage of the canal is re- fected in the greatly increased earn ings of the transcontinental railroads.
 Just now there is a great deal of ap- prehension in shipping circles lest the Suez canal be temporarily destroyed by an act of war, says Leslie's. This would mean that the shipping from the Atlantic ports of the United States and Europe to the East Indies would have to double the Cape of Good Hope. With shipping as scarce as it is now this would be heavy blow to a com mercial world already badly upset.

FARMER'S INCOME FOR WORK
Of Tenancy and Ownership Can Be Combined Is Discussed.

Most people in this country believe that the tenant Is a menace and that the owner Is more desirable because he maintains soil fertility by live stock farming and other good systems and manifests more public spirit. Others believe that with a system of long leases. such as prevail in Eng land, the tenant would be able to con. duct his operations with much smaller investment, and without many of the objectionable features of ten aney as it now exists in this country. We will have to readiust our ideas somewhat radically to reach the pres ent English condition. but many of the advantages of ownership and ten. ancy can perhaps be combined with out any revolution in our present ideas, according to O. R. Johnson of the farm management department of the University of Missouri.
 In survey of the western part of Johnson county the department found that the size of a farm business has close relation to the income which the farmer receives for his york and that small owners may often enlarge their operations by renting additional land. This part owner stands with the owner in the social matters. both from the standpoint of the individual and that of the community which he Is helping to improve. In fact, in the region surveyed, he spent even more for his family living than the man who was renting no land. This includes what he grew on the farm, and he was much more nearly selfsustaining be- cause he produced greater portion of his living on the farm and bought less of it at stores. The interest chargeable on his total investment was less than twothirds as great as in the case of the owner, for the total investments were 1888 and SIP, ,555 respectively. It must be remembered that even after renting some land from others, these part owners had only about seven and one-half acres more land apiece than the owners. and ten acres more than the tenants with whom they are compared. The actual i6 cS WeIS lfOO, lou dllu dCItS respectively.
 To considerable extent the matter may be summed up by saying that the owner made a labor income of S314 a year on 136 acres, the part owner $456 on 143.6 acres. and the tenant $531 on 1885, but many people would be will Ing to pay the additional S45 a year for the advantage of knowing that it would not be necessary to move in a year or two, make new friends and establish a system on a new farm. The difference between labor income the part owners have and tenants have is more than counterbalanced by the higher standard of living of the part owner, who spent s64 year more on family living. The average owner in that region probably does not realize that his labor income is as far below that of the tenant or part owner as Mir. Johnson's figures show He does not realize that so great a portion of what he regards as income Is not in come from his labor, but from the money investment which his land rep resents.

PUZZLED Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste Is ofttimes more accurate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children.
 A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food He was a weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on.
 "One lucky day we tried Grape Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper. and I think he would have liked the food for dinner.
 The difference in his appearance is something wonderful.
 My husband had never fancied cereal foods of any kind, but he be- came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using 1t.
 We are now healthy family and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
 "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment. The children showed 1t. So l urged her to use 1Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the result was almost magical.
 They continued the food and to- day both children are as we'll and strong, as any children in this city, and. of course. my friend is a firm be- liever In Grape-Nuts, for she has the evidence before her eyes every day" Name &iven by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS
Few of Them Know Whether They Are Producing Milk or Fruit or veae-
 tables at a Loss or at a Profit.

Business men of today keep very close tabs on the various costs en- tering into the production and market ing of their products. When it IS found that the costs exceed the com pensation received. the manufacturer turns his attention to some other form of production.
 Why should not the farmer do like wise? Why produce milk or fruit or vegetables at a loss? Few farmers would think of such thing. Yet, they are doing 1t every day. They don't know that they are doing it. They have no means of knowing What few records they may keep are entirely inadequate.
