Recent years have seen the gradual
combination of buyers of agricultural
products in great companies, while
the sellers or farmers still operate as
individuals. The buyers or dealers
have found that the group buying is
advantageous. The central thought
of cooperation is that the sellers of
farmers will find group selling or CO.

MERELY OF VALUE AS GUIDE
The Past, as Revealed by History, Worth While Only as It Points
 the Future.

The division of all history into an- cient, medieval and modern, like the division of all Gaul. is a part of the stock of knowledge of every one who has enjoyed the advantages of educa- ton.
 The statement would seem to admit of no question. Perhaps 1t is as req sonable a division of history as can be had without the expenditure of too much time and thought. At least 1t has the advantage of simplicity. Is it, however, the whole truthf
 It is true if you only mean by ft that certain periods of history began and ended at certain date, but it is not true if you mean that the state of mind that belonged to ancient his tory ceased to exist at the fall of tne Roman empire or that the character of medievalism stopped with the dis covery of America.
 The world is modern in time and in outward appearances. but antiquity and the Middle ages are not yet done with us, nor will they be for long. They have left their indelible marks upon our thought, our social customs, and political institutions. E What is really modern in the world is like the tongue of a glacier penetratr ing down the mountain slope. The mass from which 1t came is far be-. hind. moving so slowly that it does not cseenH to move. Only this small peninsula projects out into the un- known. In us all that has been Is rhpresented. It holds us back and yet it points us forward. for history is vaiueless unless 1t is guide for the future.--liilwaukse Journal.

RoheuIans Fond of Geese.

A traveller In Bohemia quickly learns that there are certain things which are essentially Bohemian, writes Ken meth Roberts in the Saturday Eve ming Post. True Bohemians eat enormous quantities of caraway heeds and goose. When a Bohemian cook prepares s anything she instinctively reaches for the caraway seed box and heaves a handful sof seeds into the dish. She uses caraway seeds with hors d'oeuvres, soup, fish, meat vege- tables, desserts and cakes.
 AS for goose,rit is the. common food. fin Bohemia, because everyone raises geese, and, according to MT. Roberts, goose in some. form or another is eaten at every meal every day in the year.

Early Christian cemmunIssn.

I.For over POO years all Christians were communists, who held the land and waters as we'll as all timber. and precious metals in common. ., There were no superior ecclesiastics among them. The lot was cast in deciding all questions and the assembled commune judged all disputes; and when any de- cision was not well pleasing, the whole cohamunity passed review on 1t and reversed sor confirmed it according to the will of all This, bold democracy was an. inheritance from the Jews and was held in abhorrence by pagans who trafficked in land and made profits from others labor.-Rollins' Ancient His tory.

MoIe,s MarxeIous Appetite.

Incredible stories are told of the mole's appetite, and in order to sec if there was anything in them (writes an English correspondent) tried an experiment. My mole-a matronly lady-weighed three and half ounces. Each item of food that she was given was carefully weighed, and here is her record between Q a. m. and noon: One frog, three slugs, twenty-four earthworms, a piece of raw mutton. and a bit of cheese, a total of just over four ounces Some delay follow ed, as my stock of weighed food was exhausted. Probably by the time I had replenished 1t she thought 1t was time for fresh meal, for she went at it again with no visible damage to her appetite, and before three o'clock she had got through another three ounces, mostly earthworms this time. That was twice her own weight in food in six hours After this display I gave up the attempt to measure her maximum capacity.

THE EYE" WORM OF AFRICA
panoerous. Pest That Is Apt to Be In- .as f'leted on the vlsltor to
 the Congo.

[ Every one who lives in central Ar rica any length of time sooner or later becomes affected with tie filaria loa, a worm which is about two inches In length and thx size of n hair. It's iarva is supposed to be taken into the body in drinking water, and, when incu- bated it wanders through the body for 2, long period. At one time it may make it's presence known in the fore arm or the back of the hand by paint less swelling. At another time tho same indications appear in a leg or about thes lips or forehead.
 Missionaries tell me that have sew eral of them in my body. although, save for the indications described. they have caused me little or 10 inconveni- ence. The worm Is supposed to end its career in the eye of the victim, and in Africa Is commonly called @eye worms because of this tendency. It then pro duces fahammat16n, and. unless skill fully exUacted. 1t sometimes ruptures the dsiicate membranes, frequently causing great suffering and even blind ,,pess
 The natives take 1t out with bam- boo splinter. But if the worm breaks in the eye. tice virus is liable to poison the organ completely. frequently with the result of loss of sight European surgeons, however, find little trouble in removing 1t successfuIly.-R. L. Gar ner In the Century Magazine.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

most of its field bees and must also have a queen emerge and become fertilized. It vii ltake a week or ten days for enough of the older bees to become field workers for them to bring in any quantity of honey. By this time the new queen will have a number of larvae to be fed so that it will be two weeks or more before this colony can get to storing sur plus. You will see, then, that a swarm takes out at least two weeks of the best part of the honey flow, says L. B. Crandall, beekeeping specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs, Conn.
 One of the best control methods to use on such a colony is to re-queen it with a young Italian queen before it has made preparations for swarni- ing.
 Another method which works out very we'll is the Demaree method. This briefly is to place all the brood and eggs in one live body and all the combs of honey and empty combs in another, filling up any empty space with frames of foundation, and have the queen in the body containing the combs of honey and empty combs. Put this last body in the old loca- tion, and place queen excluder on it, then put on two supers, and finally the body containing the brood

AVOID sWARMINc

It is very important to keep the colonies of bees from dividing at this time of year. The two parts of a colony which swarms will not pro duce as much honey as if they had rsnained one colony. The reason for this is that the swarm must draw ont new set of cowbs, and produce . new batch of brood before it can store surplus honey. This will take i've weeks or more, depending upon ths weather. e.@. s ,.~a ~--
 The old, colony from which the swarm issued will not produce any surplus for at least two weeks after ths ,swarning time since it has lost

Jelly of Unusual Flavor

Made from Green Tomatoes
 By adding lemon or orange, or both, a jelly can be made from green tomatoes which is of an attractive color and of pleasant, though un- usual, flavor. The pectin substances and acids of lemon and orange, which confer jelly-making proper ties upon the tomato juice, are found in both juice and white peel, but es- pecially in the latter. The, bitter taste of the uncooked white peel will not interfere with the flavor of the uncooked product. -.
 2 pounds green tomatoes.
 2 pints water.
 l h lemons -(7 ounces).
 2 oranges (15 ounces).
 '2 cups sugar (about A ounces).
 2 cups sirup (nearly pounds).
 Cut tomatoes into small pieces, cook in 1 pint of water for half, an hour. At the same time cook the orange rind, cut up small or put through meat chopper, in a pint of water, slightly salted so as to keep the peel tender, in case it is to be used later in making a relish, Com bine these two mixtures, and drain through jelly bag in the usual way. Squeeze the bag gently, in order not to waste the juice which remains behind. You will find that in this case squeezing does not greatly aff- ect even the appearance of the jelly. There should be quart of juice, more or less, according to the rate at which the water may have boiled down. Boil the juice for 10 minutes to reduce it in bulk and concentrate its solids. At the end of the boiling period, measure the juice; for each cupful of juice, add one-half cup of sugar and one-haf cup sirup. Boil until a good jelly test is secured that is, until it begins to jelly as the last dripprngs come from the spoon or when a drop stands on a cold plate. The amount of jelly secured will be at least glasses or somewhat more than pine. It may under favorable circumstances be almost twice this. ..as... ..,.. .,.u =.
 A -Inc NJuACc Wucu pouTcu IutO glasses shows signs of jellying, but does not set at once, set it away, lightly covered with cloth, for sev- eral days; you may secure fine, firm jelly at the end of week. It should then be covered with hot parafip as usual. .-... ',.
 In our own experience, the jellies made with large proportion of corn sirup will be satisfactory if served within an hour or two after turning out of the glass, but do not "hold up" perfectly if left to stand for a day or two, even though quite firm in the beginning.
 In case oranges are high in price, a larger amount of lemon may be used. Two lemons may ordinarily be substituted for one orange, but the flavor will be decidedly differ ent one.
 Use pulp left after draining for sweet spiced green tomato relish.

The Whole Secrehof
 A Better Tire Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies

This you will realize once you try Brunswick ---that a super-tire is possible only when the name certihes that the maker is follow ing the highest standards.
 For tire making is chiefly a mat ter of standards and policies-cost plus care. Any maker can build a, good tire if he cares to pay per- fection's price. A
 All men know Brunsgick stand ards, for Brunswick products have been famous for 74 years. 1 Formulas, fabrics and standards vary vastly in cost. Reinforce ments, plies and thickness are a matter of expense. And theseSvari- ations affect endurance. It rests with the maker how far he wishes to go-how much he can afford to give. > l4

The importance of the dairy in- dustry is indicated by the fact that during. the calendar year 1919 ap- proximately 90 billion pounds of milk were produced in the United States, enough to provide nearly $50 pounds for every man, woman and child or practically 1-3 pints per day.
 On the basis of the average 1919 prices this milk had cash value to the producer of more than $2,000,- 900, ,000. a'--E
