 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 poorly conceived hope or expectation that a 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 a dangerous attitude to assume.
 Men who have given close attention to the subject declare that there is widespread feeling that 1t is possible to revOlutiOnize completely the entire system of marketing and attain sue cess from the outset. This, of course, is impossible because it 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 be is a member of a certain cO-Opera- tive association, unusual prices are as- Sured.

 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- tiOns in the bureau of plant industry Is to work out the preventive and con trOl measures for 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 well 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.

SPIDER ATTRACTED BY MUSIC
According to organist, He Was Always Sure of One Listener When
 ever He Played.

An organist, telling of his expert ences while playing the great instru- ment in a Boston hall, relates pretty story of his most regular listener "a spider that had taken up his abode in the organ case over the performers head It remained there for about year.
 It was a musical little fellow, and when the man began to play it would spin down almost to level with his shoulder and gently swing to and fro and listen When he had finished a piece it would draw itself up to it's nest, and when he began another, down it would come again and resume its position as an interested listener.
 It had six legs. Two it put out in the air as a balance pole, two 1t handled the web with, and the third pair it used in pulling itself up hand over hand, as sailors climb a rope.
 The organist came at last to watch for the little fellow, and it was always faithful, so that he was sure of at feast one attentive and appreciative listener.

CROP NOW
 NEARLY AS BIG AS SILVER

Denver.-The production of vegeta- bles for market and for seed has de velOped rapidly in Colorado during the last .ade, until the annual value of vegetables and vegetable seed grown in the state is now nearly as great as the annual value of the. silver output.
 The leading vegetable crops are can talOupes, cabbage, cucumbers, tOma- toes, lettuce, celery, onions, beans and sweet corn. In the production of can talOupes Colorado ranks second among the states, being surpassed only by California. CantalOupes are raised here both for market and for seed, this state producing a larger proportion of the annual seed output of the United States than any other Reports of county assessors to the State Immigra- tfOn Department show that apprOxi- mately 7,200 acres of cantaloupes were grown in the state this year, of which about 1000 acres were grown for seed.

TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
If Cow Does Not Receive Abundance of PaIatable 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 elements necessary for the develop ment of the calf are taken into the stomach of the COW, digested. assimi- lated and transmitted to the calf through the umbilical cord, the con- nection between the mother and the calf. It 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.

 WEIGHT REPORTED
Young Woman Only Weighed 76 Pounds-Now Weighs Over 100
 and Is Gaining Every Day.

Before began taking Tanlac 1 only weighed 76 pounds, I now weigh over one hundred and am gaining every day" said Miss LaRue Davis of Chat tanOOga, Tenn.
 T bought my first bottle of Tanlac at Gas City, Ind, and it helped me so much that l continued using it. I have always been very delicate and suffered a great deal from stomach trouble and rheumatism. I rarely ever had any ap- petite and simply could not relish any thing. I fell off until I only weighed 76 pounds and was so thin 1 looked perfectly awful. This is the condition I was in when began taking Tanlac.
 ''Oh, 1 feel so different now Even my complexion is improved. My appe tite is good and l can hardly get enough to eat. Tanlac is simply grand and I can truthfully say it is the only medicine that has ever done me any good"
 Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.-Advertisement.

if You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have thH 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 I 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, so 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 acid which causes rheumatism
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores. Advertisement

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.
 Specialists in the United States De- partment of Agriculture urge con- stantly the establishing of uniform standards for farm products, and de- clare that if these standards are maintained, once they have been adopted, the confidence of the public will be established, and the success of cooperative marketing more gen. erally assured. Too many Organiza- tiOns are brought into being as a re- suit of enthusiasm created by appeals to prejudice and by miscOnceptiOn. The proper foundation is through a well-recognized need for an Organiza tiOn.
 Cooperative principles" said CO., operative specialist of the bureau of markets, must be adhered to in the organization and operation of farm CTS marketing associations. The farmers themselves cannot be expect ed to have a vital interest in a mar keting organization operated for the profit of and controlled by a few per sons. Such an organization should be operated, of course, to effect savings and to render service and not to earn profits for distribution as dividends on money invested. A fair rate of inter- est is granted to the capital invested by the members, and the remainder of any surplus to be distributed should be divided in accordance with patron age, that is, the amount of business transacted with the organization.
 Loyalty Is Essential.
 '"The membership should be open to producers only who desire to avail themselves of its facilities, and there should be safeguards to prevent the ownership and control of the enter prise from falling into the hands of a few persons. The success of the en- tire effort depends upon the loyalty of the members and their interest in the organization, the high standards they maintain, and their distinct under standing that as a business associa- tiOn it should be managed by a man or men able to earn a dignif1ed com pensatiOn. DislOyalty has caused the failure of more than one cooperative organization, and it is weakness which can be remedied only by the members themselves.
 "The manager, of course, is the keystone supporting the business. The salary offered him should attract high class ability as in any business look ing to success, and he should have au- thority to support his work. An en- tire business can be ruined by an in- manager at it's head.
 "A cooperative marketing assOcia- ton may be likened to a typewriter, which is a very efficient machine, but useless until you have some one con- potent to operate 1t. The success of cooperative marketing depends al- most entirely upon obtaining a suffi-
