farmers keep chickens; they used toI

lave established the efficiency system
with the fireless, wireless and hairless
brooder, we raise the pullet that lays
the fifty cent egg. That is it costs
the farmer fifty cents. A woman ask

said she has fed balance ration"

John Doe, but buy from Jim Doe,

findividual loss. In 1873 Marvin, the
EOaker of Pittsburgh, offered 75c for
eggs in the Wheeling market. If il

Some hens lay so eggs a year and

| My friends, should the economic
system be so arranged that if one man
is SO incapacitated that his family
should go hungry perhaps? One mans
family is an asset, while another
mans family is liability. Some
farmers have made good by selling
| 'oal or oil and they are held I'D as
thrifty farmers. The farmer furn-
ishes the raw material to feed and
clothe the world. / will leave it to
the farmer how much of the worlds
enjoyment he gets for his sixteen
| hours work. A milk man has got to
work days week, unless he is able
to hire another man to starve his
FAMILY that his own might live. w
The farmer has seen the dawn of
another day and he has begun to Co
operate. We have about IL different
kinds of cooperation. We have the
cooperation in production, in raising
horses, cattle, hogs, and buying and
selling; but it does not include the
farm labor or the farmer who is too
poor in cash to take advantage of the
opportunity. We have the farmer CO.
operation in grain elevators and cold
storage, and. my friends, feel the
Jay is not far distant when the man
with the hoe will straighten his back
and he will vote for the cooperative
commonwealth. AS individuals we
must be brought back to the equal of
mankind. The farmer was Gods first
workingman when he gave Father
Adam and Mother Eve the world to
learn their bread by the sweat of their
brow
