With our correspondents, we have been preaching the doctrine constantly, and tbis week we are at it again. ' The picture ano the legend on this page need no further comment. Mr. French has a fine Sunny Home stock talk this week a convincing, business-like, neighborly talk with the man who would like to improve hit stock, but has the idea that the pure-bred malt; - costs too much. On the page following Mr. French, Here's a house that stock built. Last week we showed a house that iaint had fire- 1 --i.e. - m is Uncle Jo's practical poultry talk about the served preserved for fifty years. But before painting, first get your house.

The residence shown above, with the beautiful Southdowns tn front, ant to the human family as well, so that it is not is the attractive farm home, Oak Grove, of Mr. Charles J.-Stuckey, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, amiss to emphasize here the warning on page 11 a prosperous breeder of Scotch Shorthorn cows, Southdown sheep, and other fine stock. If againts the danger .of typhoid fever in unclean improved stock will build pretty homes for others, why shoula lit not 'do the same for you i milk, water, or food. These are some matters of importance to -the fair keepers of the home which ask, What's the price of cotton? we shall hear the cannot be looked after too closely. other fellow ask the farmer, What's-the price of Speaking of the home-keepers,' by the way, re- your cotton? minds us of the Home Circle page this week. It In. this connection the subject of a live neigh- is good enough to justify us almost in designating borhood club comes up. A letter from "One Farm this as our canning number such a variety of ex- er" in this issue was suggested by Dr. Freeman's cellent recipes is given there by Aunt Mary and views on organization in last week's Progressive her company of blue-eyed, and brown-eyed, ana Farmer.. The views of "One Farmer" are tersely goiaen-naired neices. And if we may be bola i-ut sensible, and to the Doint. His suggestion enough to venture the observation, we will add that Mr. Moore's Cotton Association day of August for the benefit of whomsoever it may concern, 24th be made a general organization day, is worth that when a captivating cook gets mixed up in a acting upon. A live neighborhood club is a good courtship, there's a mighty desirable and a well- thing, and if you haven't one, the 24th will be a nigh irresistible quantity in that courtship; for good time to form one, calling it club, association, good cooking not only of things to be canneu, Alliance, or what you will. cut or otner tnings as wen is tar irom Deing u Life insurance was there ever a time when universal fine art, and she who is skilled in the you saw and heard so much about it?

The recent Govern ment seed tests of cowpeas from the Southern states that were hit so hard by the wet weather of last year, are mentioned on page 14, and the results there given will be interesting as well as helpful to every reader who grows this matchless soil-improver. v ' And finally the address of President Parrott to the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance at Hills boro this j week.
