Steady Growth Tends to Success.
Men who have travelled in every
part of the United States observing
the work of cooperative organizations
of various kinds, believe that the sue
cess of widespread cooperative mar
keting may be endangered through a
poorly conceived hope or expectation
that hard and fast organization of
producers will make it possible to sell
anything and everything at a prede-
termined price without regard to quail
ity or conditions. This is dangerous
attitude to assume.
Men who have given close attention
to the subject declare that there is a
widespread feeling that it is possible
to revolutiOnize completely the entire
system of marketing and attain sue
cess from the outset. This, of course,
is impossible because 1t is necessary
to build upon a solid foundation and
to work out the many problems in
volved carefully. Steady, substantial
and healthy growth tends to perma-
nency and success.
No one should believe that because
he is member of certain co-opera-
tive association, unusual prices are as
sured.

PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Many Breeders Follow Practice Some
Time Prior to Noting When
Quilts Are Dry.

Many breeders of geese in the South,
and some in the Middle West and the
North pluck the feathers from the live
geese at some time prior 10 molting.
Some pick every six weeks during the
summer, and early in the fall, while
others pick only once or twice year,
either in the spring, or in both spring
and fall. Feathers are considered ripe
for picking when the quilts are dry
and do not contain blood Both young
and old geese are plucked. The aver
age yearly production of feathers is
about IL pounds to the goose.
The practice of plucking live geese,
however, is considered by many breed
ers to be cruel and injurious. Geese
should not be plucked during the
breeding season. A stocking usually
is placed over the head of the goose.
and part of the soft feathers on the
breast. back and sides and abdomen
are pulled. Enough soft feathers to
support the wings always should be
left. Geese feathers are now bringing
about 75 cents pound for pure white !;
G5 cents for average white; and 30
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large .
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
lcid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

PLANT PESTS CAUSE
BIG LOSS OF WHEAT
Possible to Reduce Toll Much Be-
low Present Figures.
4eureau of Plant industry Working
Out Preventive and Control Meas
ures for Diseases of Different
Cereal Crops.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
II all the wheat now destroyed an
nually by pests could be saved and
made into -four the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture says it would
add approximately 29,463, 700 barrels
70 the yearly output to the nation.
The annual production of wheat in
this country for the four-year period,
1915 to 1919. inclusive, was 783 3,849,-
800 bushels. The annual loss from
disease during this period was 147,-
1880 bushels.
While 1t Is not possible entirely to
eliminate wheat diseases, 1t is pos
sible to reduce the toll much below
what 1t has been In recent years, says
the department. One branch of the
work of the office Of cereal investiga-
tons in the bureau of plant industry
Is to work out the preventive and con-
troll measures fer the diseases of all
cereal crops. Another branch of the
work Of this office, which is of equal
importance In increasing production
of cereal crops. Is the development
and introduction of superior varieties
Of grain which produce higher yields
In localities where they are especially
we'll adapted, or which have disease
resistant qualities. This work is
carried on In cooperation with the
various state experiment stations, and
in many cases has made profitable
, farming possible in sections in which
agriculture was hazardous previous to
the introduction of new crops or varie-
ties particularly well suited to local
conditions.

TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
II Cow Does Not Receive Abundance
of PalatabIe Feed, Weak, Puny
Calf Results.

Poorly nourished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding of the calf, there
fore, begins before it is born. The food
clements necessary for the develop
ment o. the calf are taken into the
stomach of the COW, digested, assimi-
lated and transmitted to the calf
through the umbillcal cord, the con-
nection between the mother and the
calf. 1t is evident that if the cow
does not receive food enough to keep
herself in thrifty condition and at the
same time develop her calf, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, both she and the
calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properly
feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows
should have an abundance of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed in order to
insure good body flesh and healthy,
thrifty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed,
strong and sturdy. and ready to re-
spond normally to proper feed and
care.

PROBLEM OF RUNNING WATER
North Carolina County Agent induces
Farmer to Use Basin on Hill
side Instead of Tower

The problem of having running wa
ter in the house, as well as on the
farm. is one which farmers every
where are struggling to meet. The
county agent of Cabarrus county. S.
c., employed by the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college. was able to per-
suade one of his demonstrators to dig
out basin on the side of hill near
his house and line it with cement in
stead of building tower. The eleva-
ton was about 20 feet above the top
of his house. which gave sufficient
pressure. The outlay for placing wa
ter in both his and his brothers house
was $40O. The basin holds about g.
600 gallons and keeps the water at a
more uniform temperature than would
a tank in tower, which would have
cost twice as much.

POULTRY AND DAIRY PROFITS
One of Very Best Ways Farmer Can
Dispose of Surplus Milk Is to
Feed II to Fowls.

The dairyman (Or the farmer who
runs small dairy in connection with
his farm) Is in an enviable position
to make the biggest prOportionate
profits from a flock of poultry One
reason for this is that the best foods
as milk producers are also excellent
egg producers. For instance, clover,
alfalfa, mlddlings, rye, etc. are all
palatable and beneficial to cows and
chicks alike-and SO is an occasional
mess of finely chopped silage
Furthermore. the cows furnish one
of the best of foods for laying hens,
for milk is valuable egg food in any

farmer can dispose of surplus milk
with profit is to feed it to the hens.

Worlds Greatest Lumber Market
Chicago is the greatest lumber
market in the world. Since 1890 an
average of over 2,OO0.00O,OOO feet of
lumber has come into Chicago every
year. In 1920 the figure was nearly
2,5OO,00O,00O feet. 60 per cent Of which
went into local construction and
manufacturing industries. In 1900 the
average freight paid on lumber COM
ing into Chicago was less than So per
NJ feet. Since that time the local
sources of supply for this territory
have been exhausted one after an
other. Lumber shipments have trav-
ersed greater and greater distances,
and the average freight bill paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than S12 per NJ feet.
I'm other words, the increased trans
portation charge on lumber shipments
into Chicago. as a result of the exhaus-
tion of the forest regions surrounding
it, represents toll of 500, 100000 an
nually. And while this has happened
there have accumulated il the Cen.
tral and Lake states nearly 23.0O0,00C
acres of IOgged-off forest land which
is producing neither farm crops MOI
timber; $22,5OO,OOO is the yearly tax

of the soil in the surrounding states
which should furnish the natural sup
ply for this district This sum would

land with forest trees.

Of it. The family tried to get her

pened to possess a great charm for
Ruth, arrived. Auntie, thinking that
he might be able to persuade her on
this occasion. secretly informed him
of the affair, and then when Ruth
came into the room mentioned the
fact that she wished her niece to have
her hair bobbed. He took the cue.
and Immediately told of how thick it
made hair to have it bohbed. Ruth

tain King does urge the Seasons to

they simply cannot refuse him.
when we were down in the woods,
we saw some lovely plants with pur-

''Then, too. we saw some ferns

''She said that they were put out
on the fire escape every rainy day and
that they did enjoy the change from
the hot apartment
"The little girl also said that she
was so happy now that she didn't
have to pay any attention TO her
teachers watch.
"She said her teachers watch was
always absolutely right, and when she
thought she was only a few minutes
late, her teachers watch showed that
she was later for no one could make
that watch change from doing right
and keeping right on time!
"She said it was now vacation time
so that she didn't have to think of
that watch which she really thought
was very unkind.
'Oh. we had q very good time visit
ing our Woodland Cousins, but now
we are, back on our Mountain Home
and it is always nice to get home.
And we must begin our dance soon,
for otherwise Wen use up all the time

So the Mountain Fairies danced and
danced, and after they had danced a
long time they said:
Now we are going to have our re-
freshments under yonder big tree, so
if you like, Lady Gray Cloud, why
don't you dine with the King of the
Clouds now"
So Lady Gray Cloud dined with
the King Of the Clouds and his family
and there was much merry-making
and such laughter up on top Of the
Mountain among the Mountain Fairies
that the Rainbow came out to see
what was going on.
Then another Rainbow came, too,
and the double Rainbow was seen by
the earth people as it stretched across
a beautiful lake and each end bent
down to the water and told the water
what was going on up on the Noun
tain Top, and how Mr.. Sun and the
King Of the Clouds and Lady Gray
Cloud were all laughing together.

The upside-dOwn condition of things

effect upon the supply of fIax fiber.
Before the World war Russia pro
duced about so per cent of the fax
fiber used in making linens. This sup
Ply was cut off, while the demand for
linens continues as strong as ever.
In the United States the normal
consumption of flax fiber by the spin
ming mills, before the war, was about
10000 tons Il year, most of which was
imported. To produce this amount of
fiber about 10000 acres is required.
To help in meeting the situation the
