Farmers produce more wealth than the town and city people, yet In the matter of schools they are still in the pioneer stage. To revive the., memories of a mis take for the. purpose of doing harm to one who is struggling to do better, is a crime greater than the mistake. Co-operation is alternative on the ore hand against the future monopoly of land, and on the other against nar-rowed-down opportunity and slum con ditions in country life. Self-made men are rare. Back of all these so-called self-made men back of their prosperity and position, is a wife and mother the real force that raises Whem tipm obscurity.'

CO-OPERATION, PROPER TklNG Farmers Can, In Most' Cases, Double Profits by Working Together in . . Selling Their Produce. If you are growing fruit on even a medium scale and have neighbors' who are doing the same thing you can, in moet cases, double your, profits by working together and looking up a market before selling time comes. In some states the . agricultural tsoljeges are hunting, a niarket for the fruit growers. In Kansas, last fall the col lege brought together buyers, and' sell ers for 400-cars of apples. This has taught the fruit grower he does) not have to depend on the local Buyer with his 50 or 100 per cent profit hotJ that he can sell his own' crop this way more easily than he raised It and with resulting profits almost as great. The commission man who would not hesitate to beat a single fruit grower will thing twice before he defrauds a whole organization who can report him from one end of the state to the other. The state motto of Kentucky Is one all fruit growers should adopt: "United we. stahd. divided we falL" . .

A. Wilk inson brought out many good points on the subject of co-operation among farmers. In part he said: ; - "In olden-times everything was pro duced pn. the farm but the change in conditions when machinery was intro duced, made it possible to produce more food , than was. needed on the farms. To make a market for this manufacturing was encouraged. This manufacturing became organized and demanded protection, which it received through the tariff, which it received self for the purpose of protecting the profits. In considering the selling price the cost of production was .con sidered and to this a sum was added sufficient to make a good return on the investment The farmer has been selling his products - for what . these organizations and interests were will ing to pay as modified by supply and demand. There has been no considera tion of the cost of production and profits in setting the price on farm products, and why not? Why should not the farm products bring enough to cover cost of production, plus a fair margin of profit? Wheat, for in stance, in the last five years varied as much as 50c a bushel, while the bread which is made from It has commanded the same price regardless of the farm er's return. The cost of production on the farm has not varied to this ex tent "The way to bring about this better condition is for the farmer to con sider his farm as a business proposi tion, that he consider the cost of pro duction, which will bring him to a study of . farm management consider ation of details. It would also mean that marketing will be given as much attention as producing. At present what the farmer receives bears but lit tle, relation to what the consumer pays. The businessmen who take the crop from -the farmer and handle it until It 'reacfhes the hands of the con sumer are organized to pay as little as possible and to charge as much as traffic will bear. "For the farmer to go up against this organization single handed shows a .most colossal self conceit The only way to meet this combination is through combination; that is for the farmers to combine, or in other words co-operate. "The politics of the steel trust is steel; the politics of the railroads Is railroading; the politics of the farmer should be farming. To do this, they must organize. In North. Dakota the farmer payB seventh-ninths of. the tax es and exerts less than seven-hun-dredths of the - power in government the legislative policy of the country " farmer Is never considered. No tter how much the legislation' af fects the interests of the farmer, he is not called into the council. When any measure Is brought up that affects the manufacturer ox. the transportation agency or the commercial Interests they are consulted their Interests are considered. "The president of Cornell university in a recent address contended 'the day of the ordinary farmer is passing,' that the tendency is for the larger corporations to take up land and that these will be running the farms in large estates and under scientific man agement much as their large corpor ations, and that the farmer of today will be the hired man of these big concerns. The farmers are about the only all-round men that we have in the United States. The men who are engaged In industry are each working In a very narrow sphere. We need this all-round man, his home his children who are furnishing- the new blood, that furnishes the brains that is taking the leadership in our com merce and industry. "The only way for the farmer, as we know him today, to maintain his position is for. him to co-operate in the producing and the marketing the products of the farm' and In demand ing legislation for his 'interests." ' FARMERS UNITE' FOR CREDIT i ' - k : -Idea, Has Been Adopted by Settlers lii South 'Africa May Extend to .Other Parts of Country An experiment that will be followed with" much interest" has recently been, started in Umtalf, "declares a writer in thig 'Rhodes'ia (South Africa) Her ald.

The old method of tree range need not necessarily be changed. ;The fowls should not, however, be allowed to run at will within the garden or in and about the farm buildings. Noth ing is more aggravating or disgust ing than to have the nice vegetables or beautiful flowers scratched up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the barn floor, and the farm machines fovled with poultry droppings. Separate the poultry also from the other live stock of the farm. If the fowls are to be kept near the farm buildings, pyvlde ample range enclosed by modern poultry wire fencing. The latter requires ordi narily but a few posts, is easily!" put up and has a very neat appearance when in position. Another way of separating the fowls from the center of farm operations is to place the hen houses at a consider able distance from the farmstead, in a pasture where the fowls will have absolute range. The latter plan may entail some extra travel by the poul tryman and there Is the risk in some localities of depredations by foxes, hawks or other wild animals or by thieves. The young, strong farmer boy may find advantage in the second or so-called "cplbny plan," while; the housewife will probably prefer the fenced enclosure near the farm house. Thirdly the farmer is too careless In the way ne disposes of 'his poultry products. He. Is usually content to trade his eggs at the nearest grocery store when by a little extra effort he could gain a select private trade which -would pay far better. His pure bred stock of one breed of fowls in their well kept house and capacious grassy yards will be a great' adver tisement for his egg products and uni form clean appearange of the eggs In their attractive package will prove an additional help in making sales. Then, too, in disposing of his fowls the farmer often sells the birds alive when by carefully dressing them ca the farm andxselling to his customers on orders he could secure far better prices. FEEDING COOP FOR SQUABS Materials Necessary Consist of Hun dred Feet of Flooring and Piece of Wire Mesh. A satisfactory coop for fattening chicks of "Leghorn squabs," as the trade calls -them, is shown in the ac companying illustration. The materi als necessary consist of 100 feet of flooring, two pieces of wire netting 3 by 4 feet, a piece of inch mesh wire for the front, a feed -drawer made from store boxes, a pair of hinges, door transom and some roofing paint. The floor is covered with road dust, Fattening Coop. writes Mrs Almo of Chaves county, N. M., In the Farmers Mail and Breeze. A dry feed mixture put-up by a local feed store consits of cracked corn, mi lo, wheat, bran, alfalfa meal and meat meal. Milk curd is fed twice a week. The feed drawer is filled twice week. I find more gain in weight by' using a coop than in yards, and use less feed. I put the chicks in this coop as soon as they are old enough to take from tftie brooder. Methods of Feeding Fowls. Fowls should have empty crops ir the .morning and the crops should never be quite full until it is time to go to roost at night. For the first feed, grain scattered in the litter early In the morning is preferred, the sooner the better after the birds leave the roosts. This Induces them to exercise, which Is especially important on cold winter mornings. In the middle of the day a warm, moistened mash should be given, about what they will , eat within 15 to 20 minutes, and at night, about an hour before they go to roost, a liberal feed of grain should be scat ered in the litter. , EgS-Eat,r,g Habit. Egg eating is a habit that starts with hens, generally,' that are out pf condition. In other words', when the hen gets too fat and also when there is a scarcitw of lime In the bill of fare the shells of the eggs become thin. When' being laid these . soft shelled eggs usually -break and the hen thus , acquires a taste. It is al ways best to gather the eggs several times a day so that there will be no chance for breakage by hens crowding on the nest or by a newly laid egg striking those already laid. Discourage. Feather Pulling. To discourage feather pulling try hanging a well-seasoned salt; cod fish just high enough, that the birds .have to reach to peck It. Feed an abun dance of fresh raw Vegetables. -Supply beef scrap, in the mash and see that the supply, of grit does not run xhbrt. : ' ' . - ' ; Marketable Eggs.
