One .orm of cooperation The Pro-
gressive Farmer thoroughly believes
in is that Of cooperation in settling
disputes between netghbors-arbitra-

right to the point in this connection Is
the story which Uucle Walt Mason

The Tyrant In the Field.

There have been few commanders SC
tyrannous as Lopez, the dictator OF
Paraguay. when in the. war Of 1865-7O
it fought single handed the neighbor'
ing countries of Argentina. Brazil and
Uruguay. Lo9ez says Mr. W. H. Koe-
bel in his argentina" was wont to
carry the theory Of victory or death
to al uncomfortable point Officers
were executed for mere remarks
whose tone fell beneath the standard
of confidence that Lopez had set up fol
himself. One, for instance was shot
for having announced in the course OF
his duty that the enemy was strongly
intrenched! Another met his end on ac-
count of an unguarded speech to the
effect that the Paraguayan army was
accustomed to count the enemy's losses
and forget its own.

Yawnino.

Yawning is peculiar act and one
that has never yet been properly ac-
counted for 1t is not by any means
sign of fatigue only, although it is
sometimes produced by overexertion,
But an attack Of yawning comes on
much more quickly if one is intensely
bored, and certainly stuffy atmo-
sphere tends to produce it. 1t is also
noticeable that when one has gone con-
siderably past ones mealtime the ten
dency to yawn frequently becomes ir-
resistible A very peculiar feature of
this complaint is its infectiousness;
one person can easily set half dozen
all yawning in turn. When present in
a very marked extent it is supposed to
be the outcome of anaemia, indiges-
ton or some other complaint.

DON'T GO TO GALL
LIVE STOCK" EITHER

The Progressive Farmer has never,
for the average Southern farmer, TAX
en- any stock in the agi' alton for live
stock as a substitute for cotton, and
We are glad to see the fact is coming
more and more to be recognized tina;
livestock farming should have a place
on every farm, but seldom, if ever,
can livestock farming exclusively be
made the most profitable. Just as
all-cotton farming is a badly balanced,
improbable business, so is it unsafe
and certainly conductive to the
maximum possible profits to attempt
to raise livestock exclusively. The
best results are to come only when
livestocks, legumes, grain and cotton
are so combined hat all food and feed
for man and beast are produced and
soil fertility is maintained. This and
this alone can rightly be called good
farming and good farm management.

KENTUCKY COLONIES.
In the Nature of Things They Simply
Can't Help Being Numerous.

In the south especially and in Ken
tucky more especially man becomes
q colonel at about forty-seven unless
he is Of Il willful. rebellious, obstreper
Gus disposition and inclined to stand
up for an admitted but rarely exercised
right not to become known as colo
nell" \ man who is not sudden and
quick in quarrels and who can be put
upon cannot escape becoming colo
nell Many men whose courage is I'M
questioned prefer not to engage in
street fights i'll opposition to an eStab-
lished custom. 1t is the rule rather
than the exception to submit good ma
turedly or with concealed impatience
when the first three gray hairs appear
at the temples and the use of the title
begins by popular consent.
There are. of course. many colonies
under forty. When governor is inau
gurated he has the power to appoint
staff colonels 4 governor who does
not appoint as colonies such Of his con
stituents as he knows by name is lack
ing in the punctiliousness which distin-
guisheS the practical politician. Thus
many young men who would have been
''leftenants" if they had adopted mil
itary career are made colonels in civil
life. Another prediSposing cause Of
premature colonelcy is the tendency OF
some men to become fat early in life.
A man who measures as much as forty
inches at the waist line and has not
been convicted Of felony is entitled,
even obliged. TO be called colonel be-
fore he is forty.-Louisville Courier
