Make the farm worth while.
C?o-operation is the life of profit.
The roll of fat on the show hog
covers a multitude of defects.
"Listen, I’m telling you!” shouts the
fool. ‘‘Tell me and I’ll listen,” says the
wise man.
The man who really loves his wife
does not forget at 75 how beautiful
she was at 20.
It is all right to ask the Lord to air
us in our work but all the same, he
expects us to do our level best.
How we admire the man who never
talks about anybody cr anything ex-
cept himself and his own doings!
The brain-using business man is the
profit maker; since farming is a busi-
ness, the more brains the more
profit.
Some women are so unreasonable
as to expect a man to stop pitching
horse shoes just, to saw wood for the
kitchen stove.
There was never a woman whose
heart has not been touched with jeal-
ousy. If there was no jealousy there
would be no love in the world.
Farm machinery comes pretty high,
we sometimes think, but there is one
thing in its favor, it is not eating
three meals a day when it is not
working.
It’s a losing game to buy staple sup-
plies in little dribs. The reason so
many city people are poor is because
they buy groceries and coal in five and
ten cent lots.
A harsh word spoken to the wife or
children or a simple act of injustice
Is often the germ which grows into
a monster which strangles affection
and starves our hungry hearts.

A HIT
. What 8he Gained by Trying Again.
Jr —
< A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good it is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the Btory:
“We had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening Just to try it. We
bad heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
“Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at-
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn’t have a very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
-with an air of exceptancy. It certain-
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I’m afraid it wasn’t a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn’t discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting it stand on the stove till boil-
ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we Were all so pleased with it
that we have used it ever since.
“Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and a cup of coffee was to him like poi-
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He Isn’t
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fat, and I’m sure
Postum is the cause of it. All the chil-
dren are allowed to drink it and they
are perfect pictures of health.” Name
given by Postum Co., JBattle Creek,
Mich.

Form Organization for Handling Crop
and Putting it on Markets to
Best Advantage.
, T have several times mentioned the
fact that the Aroostook potato grow-
ers of Maine were attempting to form
an association to aid them in grow-
ing and handling their potatoes and
in placing them upon the markets
more advantageously. This associa-
tion has now been formed with its
plans definitely outlined, and is now
ready for business, says a writer in
the New England Homestead. Through
its methods, the consumer may profit,
as well as the grower.
This association is the result of the
united efforts of the two Pomona
granges in the county, through a
Joint committee which began its work
early in April. The objects of the as-
sociation are to adopt a more careful
system of handling and grading, har-
vesting and shipping; to acquire new
and better markets by having agents
in different consuming, or shipping
centers, so as to keep posted on con-
ditions and requirements; to devise
better and more economic methods of
marketing, thus making a saving to
the producer without increasing the
cost to the consumer. There are sev-
eral other lines of busines the asso-
ciation expects to take up later, but
there is a feeling among the promo-
ters, that it is best to make haste
slowly along these lines.
The association is capitalized for
$100,000, divided into 20,000 shares of
five dollars each. As it is a grange
movement the stock is to be sold only
to members of the order, or to such
granges as may elect to become stock-
holders. The plan is to establish a
shipping station at, every place in the
county where 60 shares of stock are
held, with not less than 20 members.
At smaller stations and at sidings,
shipments will be made through the
general management.
All shipments are to be Inspected
by competent inspectors employed by
thfe association, and none will be al-
lowed to leave the county th^t are
not fully up to the guarantee. It is
expected that the handling of seed
Btock may form quite a part of the
business of the association apd an at-
tempt will be made to so conduct
this branch of the work as to insure
lo each purchaser absolute certainty
that he receives the variety he de-
sired and that the stock is good of
the variety. In other words the as-
sociation will “stato what it sells and
sell what it states.” L. E. Luttle of
Caribou is president and Guy Porter
of Houlton is secretary of the asso-
ciation.
President Barrett Makes First Official
Expression on Attitude to Keep
Staple on Proper Level.
National President Barrett of the
Farmers’ union, recently made his
first official expression regarding the
attitude of that big organization in the
battle that is coming this fall to
maintain the price of cotton at a prop-
er level.
“The Farmers' union,” says Presi-
dent Barrett, “issues an invitation to
the entire south to co-operate ivith it
in saving to this section many mil-
lion dollars on the cotton crop of
1911-12. It is for the merchant, the
business man, the banker, the small-
est citizen, no less than the farmer,
to figure the difference between eight
or nine cent cotton and thirteen or
fourteen cent cotton. The fight we
pre going to win is not alone in be-
half of the farmer. It Is waged in
the interest of the southern business
world as a whole. To that degree, it
si not only the duty, but the individual
profit, of every element in the south-
ern states to join hands with the
Farmers' union, to the end that the
powerful machinery of this organiza-
tion may be brought to bear with
complete success upon the present sit-
uation.
“To the farmer, whether or not a
member of the Farmers’ union, my im-
perative advice is ‘Hold your cotton!’
It is worth infinitely more than the
price now quoted. You should first go
to your local banker, if you are in
debt, and borrow sufficient money,
with cotton as collateral, to enable you
to hold. Your own banker knows you
best, and it is to his interest to aid
you in the fight. Should he fail you—
and I don’t think he will—ypu can de-
pend upon us for assistance.
“The Farmers’ union does not in-
toned that a clique of bear gamblers or
domestic and foreign spinners shall
combine to dictate the price of our
product, or to rob the section of a tre-
mendous sum of money. It is for the
south we are working. Now is the
time for every southerner to prove his
business insight, and it is not the time
for hypocritical pretensions. It is a
cold matter of dollars and cents. If
the farmer suffers, the business man,
every business interest, suffers along
with him.
“It is no longer possible to produce
cotton for eight or nine cents at a
profit. If we would return to the old
prices for mules, supplies, farm ma-
chinery, land itself, the proposition
would be feasible. But as we cannot,
the farmer must insist upon the price
of his product being maintained upon
a level with that of every other prod-
uct.
“The south ought to be abundantly
able to finance and hold its own prin-
cipal product. The accomplishment
should be a matter of pride, as well
as of common sense. Practical men
realize that the cotton crop of the
opening season will not be nearly so
large as it has been reported. We,
who have investigated, know that
there will be a demand at a fair price,
for every pound of the staple pro-
duced. The main thing is for the
farmer, large of small, organized and
unorganized, to get together and re-
solve that he will not be cheated out
of the result of his toil.
“Every solitary southerner is inter-
ested in the same result. And to each
one, in whatever calling, I extend a
cordial invitation to work with us for
his own monetary interest, no less
than that of the farmer. As for the
latter—another season or two of fair
prices mean absolute emancipation
from debt. That thought should be
sufficient to nerve him for the battle—
especially when he is assured assist-
ance in Its winning.”
“Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, commission-
er of Agriculture of Alabama, has call-
ed a meeting of the commissioners of
Agriculture of the southern states, and
of all interested parties, barring none,
to devise means for maintaining the
price of cotton. This conference will
follow the Farmers’ union convention,
to be held at Shawnee, Okla., Septem-
ber 5, and the Convention will be lib-
erally, if not as a body, represented at
the conference. I urge all southerners
who realize the importance of the oc-
casion to meet with the commissioners
and with members of the Farmers’
union in this conference. Let all come,
not to discuss the farmers’ ‘greatness.’
which may be taken for granted, nor
any other subject, but the secur-
ing of a prope/ price for cotton. That
is a big enough job for a gathering
composed of the south’s best brains,
and it should not be interfered with
by 'hot air’ or discussions admirable in
their way but without any bearing on
the paramount issue.
“Prompt action taken by this joint
conference, following the policies out-
lined at the Farmers’ union conven-
tion, will bring triumph in a campaign
which no southerner, however humble,
can afford in self-interest and patriot-
ism, to ignore.”
CHARLES S. BARRETT.
OTHING counts like per-
sonal interest in work or
in play. The teacher who
can put himself in the
place of the pupil and
work with him, towards
the higher attainments, is a teacher
indeed. When we can live again the
first experiences of public prayer or
the utterances of a few words that
jumbled on our lips, we are in
a position to help those who
are coming Into the work. We all
know how much more effective a
personal invitation is than a general
one. Personal interest shown will
often win where all else fails. Per-
sonal work is something that we can
all do, and it is what is going to
reach the people, bring in the revival,
and build up the church. Young
people, here is our opportunity to do
work for Christ. No one can reach
the hearts of the people, or win
them more effectively, than the
young. A nastor cannot reach and
win all in his parish, but he might,
with your help, win a good many
more than he does. You, even though
weak and timid, may be able to win
some one that he could not reach.
The minister’s work does not lessen
your responsibility. But there are
conditions for the success of a person-
al worker. We should be right with
God and should constantly implore
his guidance. He can use the hum-
blest efforts to win souls, if they are
made in his name and for his sake.
Let us search our hearts and see if
there be any evil way in us. Sin
breaks the connection with our liv-
ing and loving Saviour, and leaves
us powerless. Then a personal in-
terest cannot be shown unless felt.
We must have the Christ spirit with-
in us, and truly love those we wish
to help; and never forget that it is
for Christ we are working. If we
could always remember that, we
would be less often discouraged and
disheartened. And let us not forget
that we are to do our duty, and God
himself will see to the results. Let
us not worry over the result of our
effort. I have even known a seem-
ingly utter failure to bring about
much good and the conversion of
souls.
Must Have Confidence.
We can do very little effective per-
sonal work unless people have con-
fidence in our religion. We should
therefore be very careful to live lives
positive for God and the right
Then, if we should lead people to
Christ, we must study the Word of
God. We must be able to tell the
lost soul what God’s message is;
why we are seeking to rescue the
lost; and we should know suitable
texts to meet difficulties with. And
them the spirit of the divine mes-
sage, as it comes to us in a careful
perusal, will fill us to impart the mes-
sage of life to others. Personal work
in a revival means everything.
When the members of a congrega-
tion get the burden of souls upon
them, so that they will personally
urge and invite people to accept
Christ, then there is every chance
for a revival. God reaches people
through people, and personal work
makes a revival sure. In my own
experience I entered a revival a few
years ago in which my sister and I
were the' only young people that
were Christians. In the first of the
meeting we persuaded a cousin of
ours to give himself to God, and
then we three formed a little band
for prayer. We prayed earnestly
for the salvation of other young
people in the place. We entreated
them personally, outside the meet-
ings and in them, and soon added
three or four more to our band. We
met each evening an hour before
service for prayer, and urged each
one of the band to pray fervently,
and to feel glad and free to tell what
God was doing for him. By so doing
they were helping and encouraging
each other, and they were soon all
doing personal work and bringing
their friends to Christ each- evening;
and I can truly say none of us had
ever spent a happier or more blessed
fortnight and lt is needless to say
that we felt the revival was success-
ful.
Select Good Seeds.
No work on the farm will pay as
well for the time and expense as seed
selection. A few days devoted to the
selection of the best bolls from the
best stalks of cotton and to the se-
lection of the best ear* of corn from
the best all-round stalks of corn will
very materially increase the yield of
potion and corn.
Texas Ranks First.
Judging by the value of agricultural
products. Texas ranks first of all the
states. She has 10,000,000 acres in
cotton and her farm crops aggregated
in 1910 $364,110,000. Till then Illinois
held the leading place. The value of
wealth produced on the farms of the
United States in 1910 was $8,926,000,-
000, an increase of $104,000,000 over
1909.

does it mean? It is the most magnifi-

human nature is n,qt meant to be spent
