FARMER'S SOCIETY IS UNIQUE. r Development of Co-operative Idea at Dassel, Minn., Being Watched With Much Interet. (By C. R. Barns, Minn. Universiity Farm) The division of agricultural ex tension is watching with much in terest the development of the co operative idea among the farmers in the vicinity of Dassel, Minn. Be ginning as aa ordinary farmers' Club, it has become an unique farm ers' corporation, with an authorized capital stock of $50,..., and operat , ing three special departments a cow-testing association, a stockship ping business and an egg-selling department. It has also made a be ginning in the co-operative shipment of produce; having marketed up to recent date, six car loads of hay; and it is looking forward to arrang ments for supplying it$ stockhold ers with selected seed corn and other seeds. Some peculiar features of the or ganization which : render k it unique so far as our information goes.and which makes it unusually attractive to independent farmers, who object to associations likely to be domnat ed by one or two men making a larger investment than the others are these: " - 1. No stockholder, whatever the number of shares he may own.can have more than one vote; and no person can hold more than 100 Shares ($500) of stock. 2. Instead of dividends, the stock draws interest at the rate of six er cent, per annum; but the pay ment of such interest may be an nulled by a vote at the annual meet ing following its accruing. ' 3. Dividends, instead of being ap portioned according to the amount of stock held, are apportioned ac cording to the amount of business each stockholder has done with the department from which the di- yidends are derived. 4- Operating expenses are defray ed by a tax of a certain percentage on the amount of business done in any department. These provisions are supplement ed by others in the by-laws, and in a very just and well-drawn code of regulations concerning the ship ping of stock, etc. ; the whole giv- auifir zn& impression that the spirit oi iraternity and mutual good will w uummaics.

La.. last week oni the"Relation of Govern ment to the Business of the Coun try,"was one of the most important utterances of his administration. It came at a time when it should nave strengthened confidence.stead ied credit and exerted a maximum of influence upon, public sentiment. Yet it seems to have had little Af fect. Few newspapers printed it in full ana the discussion of it was mainly perfunctory. Had Grover Cleveland or William McKinley made such a speech it Would have been the chief news not only of the day but of the week. Every sentence would have been Weighed and analyzed and considered.- Mr. Taft is president as they Were president. His power over trad and industry and prosperity is far greater than their, owing to more recent extensions of federal author ity." In actual ability he surpasses either of them; yet in a period of great financial unrest and business uncertainty his words fall on ears tnat are virtually deaf. The blame belongs to Mr. Taft him self. When a president is making speeches every day he cannot ex pect a very attentive audience. When the important must take its chance with the unimportant, when the tri val runs in' leash with the serious when petty politics goes side by side with statesmanship, there is not much likelihood that the pres idential wheat will be sifted from the presidential chaff. Where two speeches might command universal consideration, 200 speeches are smothered in their own verbosity. Mr. Taft's stumping tour has been discussed mainly in relation to his own political fortunes; but there is another side to it a public side. A president of the United States has no right to talk his influence for gooa into unconsciousness. New Xork World. Williams. Serving Cake. Mrs. J. Y. Paris, Mrs. James Hor ner. Serving Cream. Mrs. W.

Oliver ijroinwen was so great a man that he dwarfed his surround mgs, and it is singular how little the tamily and family life of this the majority of people knew about "the most typical Englishman of all time.' 'He had three daughters, the youngest of whom was Frances. Her attractions must have been: con- siaeraoie- lne young woman had several love affairs.but certainly the one tnat nad a most amusing ter mination was her flirtation with her father's chaplain, Jerry White. One day the protector surprised jerry on nis Knees in the very act or Kissing tne lady's hand. Crom well coldly demanded the meaning oi tne scene, and Jerry, with a nret ty wit, exclaiming that he had long oeen courting "tnat young gentlewo man, my lady's woman," although without success. He saw now there by humbly praying her ladyship to intercede for him. Cromwell turned at once to the waiting woman and requested to be informed why she refused the honor his friend, Mr. White would do her. The young woman. fullv equal to the occasion,' replied mag nanimously that if Mr; White intend ed her that honor she would not be so curllsh as to deny him. '"Call I " iciuiiicu lumweu, and the pair were married straightway. The Country Over Which . Italan and Turk Are at War. Of all the Barbary States Tripoli has been in the least touched by modern civilization. The primitive customs and ancient patriarchiah life of desert oasis and table stand are the delight of the few travelers who have been willing to brave the dan gers of. wild tribes and sandstorms for a glimpse at a world little changed since those upon whom the mantle of the Prophet fell were car rying the arms of Allah through northern Africa in a wae that was to half sweep Europe. Jtsven tne city of Tripoli : is not modernized except in the foreign quarters, wniie the hintereland hos tile and bigoted, has yielded little even to Turkish influence. The most satisfactory name for the country which Italy seems bent on seizing is Tripolitina. Tripolitina includes the Vilayet of Tripoli, the Fezzan, a big desert State to th south with hazy outlines, and the province of Barca, or Cyrencia, to the east. These constitute the -most sterile part of North Africa, a stretch between Egypt and Tunis where the desert runs down to the sea. Lying several hundred miles out of the trade route from east to west through the Mediterranean.be hind a coast dangerous with reefs and bars, they are seldom visited bj Europeans. It is a corner of the globe which has been near to Eu rope and at the same time far away- The leading races of Tripolitina are four in number the Berbers, who seem to be descendants of the original inhabitants; the Arabs, from the line of the conquerersithe Jews and the Blacks, a shifting pop ulation wnicn drifts up from the Soudan and back again along' the three great caravan routes which co: verge upon the capital. The Turks, outside the troops and their officers are only a little handful of mer chants. Turkey obtains in taxes from the country about $600,000 a year.; Two nuns of tne 410 square miles in the vilayet of Tripoli is tillable soi and of this two-fifths only one-half is utilized. The agricultural' meth eds are Biblical, the gram.' being sown and tnreshed by hand and wat ered from a well where the hoisting is done by camel, mule or man. When the rain comes the - desert blossoms like the rose, but the water question is so serious that statistics show an average of only four good harvests out of ten.The grain crops are barley, millet, guin ea corn and wheat. The husbandman of Tripoli figur es mai ii ne raises more grain tnan enough to tide him over til the next year he will only be doing a kind turn to the tax gatherer or the usurer, wherefore most of jthe farming is done in haphazard "and slovenly style, no more grain being: planted tnan will suffice for .the wants -of the twelve-months; ahead Yet this was once one of the gran aries of Rome. It is believed that the Sahara desert has spread to the north since then. Industry in the towns is slightly nampered by three regular week Sabbaths Friday, for the Moham medans, Saturday for the Jews,who have a quarter to themselves in every town is called the "Melah." and Sunday for the few but influen tial Christians- Many make their living by thiev ing, which amounts almost to an institution. There are marauding desert tribes besides bands of lurk ing highwaymen in the environs of the towns and the market places, and the lower quarters of the cities are infested with skillful pilferers and robbers. The Turkish government has done little to check these i mmemorial activities.devoting its attention to the proper collection of the tithes. Of the three principal industries sponge gathering along the coast, esparto picking and 'the caravan trade the last namedfhas fallen a way sadly of the late because of the opening up o (better trade routes by which the Soudanese good: can get to the European consumers The exports of the coupitry consists of mats, eggs, woolens, old silver and cattle. About th only article that comes to the United States from Tripoli, are Soudan skins.from which cheap grade off gloves are manufactured. j I The harbor of Triioli city is the best and practically jthe .only one along the coast, butrevenj this is ap proached tortuously ithroijgh dan gerous shoals and reefs. f Many ves sels are wrecked alongjthe shore every year.

Decatur sailed boldly Into the harbor with a hand ful of determined Americans, recap tured the Philadelphia, burned it and escaped. The blackened hull of the Philadelphia still lies in the clear harbor water to prove the story, and recently parts of it have been brought up by divers. Remains of the Roman occupation abound- A magnificent. arch of Mar cus Aurelius stands half buried in the lbeiris of cenuries and is nar- ly plastered up to serve as a stall f tor a fish dealer. The inscription of the arch gives the date of the build ing as A. D. 164. N - Many of the fine houses of the town have Roman columns set in their walls. The mosaues abound in Roman sculpture and masaics still beautiful in their surroundings of inferior modem stucco-wort Cliping. FEEDIXG OF CONSUMPTIVES Journal of the Outdoor Life Points . Out Errors in Tuberculosis Treatment. Exchange. Many traditions with regard to feeding of tuberculosis patients and with regard to food in general, are given severe blows in a series of articles published in the October number of the Journal of Outdoor Life, the official organ of the Na tional Association for the Study and I'revention of Tuberculosis. - Dr. John Murlin, of New York.as sistant Professor of physiology at the Cornell University Medical Col lege, holds in an article entitled '"The Dynamic Principles of Nutri tion," that a consumptive will gain weight and do well on three pints of whole milk, eight ounces of ream, five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and two slices of buttered tcast, as a ration for each 24 hours. The entire diet with the ex ception cf the bread and butter could be prepared in advance and served for a cost of about 50 cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick, . of the Henry Phipps Institute of Phil adelhia, also offers some sample diets which the ordinary family ca prepare for even less than 50 cents a day Dr R. David Lyman, of Walling ford Conn., and Dr. Paul B. John son of Washington, D. C, both a gree that the ordinary person eats too much, and that the old notions about stuffing a tuberculosis pa diets which the ordinary family can been proven false. Dr. Lyman holds that eggs are not a necessary ar ticle of the consumptive's diet, 'and that a tuberculosis patient should eat of the fuel used in furnishing that is nourishing. He thinks that tuberculosis patient should eat only a littie more than a person in ordinary good health. - Dr. Murlin compares the food we eat to the fuel used in' furnishing steam and power for an, engine In selecting our food he savs thut should eat enough to furnish ener- &j iur me day s work, but that much more than this ia not n- ed. He holds that tht not a necessity for Tnere is no fallacy of. nutrition he says, "greater than that which supposes that a food cannot be di gested and utilized without appetite.
