Whatever promotes tin' Interests of
the fannor helps nil trados and pro-
two-Ions.
Now In the Umo to begin to Ihlnlt
about tlio selling end of your farm
litihinosB.
What to grow, how to grow It, and
liow to sell II uro throo things which
the farmer should study If ho desires
to miecocd.
Hon't go to your merchant for ad-
vice us lo tho best way to sell your
cotton. rut that matter In this hands
of your union.
Try a big bunch of farmers In the
legislature. If they don't do better
than the lawyers have done, turn
(hum out and try another bunch.
The man who deals In futures does
not produce anything, nor does he udd
lo the value of Uiat which Is pro-
<liieed. lie Is ulrnply a parasite on so-
ciety, exacting toll from both the pro-
ducer and the consumer.
Hi nee tho farmer raises all the feed
and clothing lor tho world lie Is a
very Important factor in society, but
for (lie fact In past ages he has been
mi industrial slave he has never
yet come lo the full measure of his
rights, but lie's coming.
'('lie Farmers' Union of Texas had a
corntnlltce to camp with the legisla-
ture during the session of that body.
ISy bard pulling thoy secured the pas-
H.'igo of a lew laws in the Interest of
4he farmers, but not all that were
needed. Too many lawyers was the
i rouble
The question as lo who or what
started the panic is still In the nir,
lull there Is llttlo doubt but what tho
railroad magnates took advantage of
it to vent their spleen on the people
<o show llielr resentment for the pas-
uage of laws regulating freight and
passenger rales.
The colloflsal fortunes built up be-
i ween the producer and consumer
represent In a large degroe Illegiti-
mate loll laid upon the products of
(Jie farms, and bo well organized are
all those who levy (nil that nothing
lens than tho most effective organiza-
tion will loonon thlr r.nesp upon tho
(oilers of the land. M-.ny of these in
1-erestB are fortified behind laws grant-
ing speolal privileges which enable
them lo tax tho public without mercy.
Planting Fruit Trees.
That Uto elaborate care usually
taken in planting fruit trees is a
waste of labor Is Indicated by the lus(
report of the Woburn experimental
fruit farm In Kngland. II Is common-
ly thought necessary to prepare a
■large, shallow hole spreading out the
roots in all directions and arranging
■thorn near the surface with a slight
upward turn at the ends, and then
lifting In the soil with ninny precau-
tions. This method of plautlng was
<rind, with that of crowding (he roots
4nto small holes and ramming down
the earth. Tho experiments were made
rot only at Woburn, but at Harpen-
«1oii, 1 ted ford and other places, and 59
4>or cent, of the sets showed In favor
of ramming, 27 per cent, showed no
difference and only 14 per cent, were
against ramming.
Economical Ration.
The use of a radon composed of
shelled com and clover hay at the In-
diana experiment station resulted In
a saving of St. pounds of corn and 27
tiourids of hay In producing 100 pounds'
rain over tho use of shelled corn and
Miuothy bay.
Real Pleasures of Home.
FARMERS USE MORE COTTON.
Every Member of the Union Should
Endeavor to Make Its Usage
Universal.
There should be a universal resolve
by every member of the union to use
nothing but cotton sacks, rope and
other manufactured material in which
cotton predominates as a basis. Hon t
talk about it, but go to work and do
it, says the National Co-Operator. See
your merchants and ask them to sup-
ply themselves with manufactured
goods with cotton woven into it. I.et
I your wives and daughters proceed to
j bombard tlm merchants and after you
have asked them lo do this (the mer-
' chants and glnm rs), why see that
I they do It or only patronize those that
j do. (let Hie union label placed on all
' cotton stuffs (hat you use und get
| after your town union brother and let
| him prove his faith by his works™—
by asking for cotton goods, when he
buys sacks, rope, etc. Co-operate in
this matter. Write letters to the
Farmers' unions in the grain growers
sections and in the districts ol Cali-
fornia, where the members of the
Farmers' union are struggling lo sell
their raisins and other products for a
better profit than they are now get-
ting.
Uy co-operating in this way you can
do more good than all the mass meet-
ings hold by tho few at best, and
will soon convince the merchants, gin-
ners and warehouse and elevator men
that use sacks, rope, etc., that you
mean business and that It will be
prudent to listen to what you say and
comply in so far as they can to yonr
requests before they becomo de-
mands and cause them trouble. Let
the Co-Operator know what you are
doing and the paper will surely co-
operate with you along the line. It
Is all very well to write about co-
operation and what it will do for the
farmers, but one month's active, sys-
tematic, progressive work among
yourselvi , with the aid of your pa-
pers, will accomplish very much more.
Theoretical co operation'Is good, but
practical application of tho theories to
your every day business, getting ns
many of your non-union neighbors on
tho farms and tin' organized labor of
the cities to net with you in your ef-
forts to bring about the practical re-
sults that you want, will boat It so
bad thai theory without application
will be distanced In the race.
The county union of Brazos count)
has adopted resolutions of this char-
acter and has resolved to act up to
them, which is putting the theory
where the members can faithfully put
it into practice. (Jot to work, union
people, and show the non-union world
that you are men who, knowing your
wants, tne determined to have them
supplied by your own work and ef-
forts.
TIRED ALL THE TIME.
Lmguor, listleFsness, dullness of
spiilvs are often due to kidney disor-
ders. X'ain and weakness In the back,
sldcn and hijis, headaches, dizziness,
urinary disorders nre sure signs that
be kidneys need immediate attention.
Delay Is dangerous. <
Alonzo Adams, Os-
ceola, Iowa, says:
"My kidneys failed
me. I suffered aw-
ful pain and was so
weak 1 could not
work, and often had
to take to bed. I
ivas dull and exhausted nearly all the

medicines, but. only Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me. Soon I was perma-

Sex In Cromwells.
Of course with the sexes on a foot-
tig of equality as regarded opportu-
nity, it would not be long until a fe-
male Cromwell made her appearance,
and. having made her appearance, was
getting her portrait painted.
The painter, once more a fawn-
ing, courtly fellow, would have the
picture a flattery; but she rebuked
him In words that became historic!
"Pnlnt lli the hips!" she command-
ed, sternly, showing that she could

Storing Hubbard Squash.
Prof. Stuart of tho Vermont experi-
ment station stored, on October 3, one
ton of Hubbard squashes, fresh from
the field, in a dry room, with a tem-
perature varying from GO (o Go de-
grees. Aftor four months, on Feb-
ruary 3, the squashes were examined
and weighed. There were loft 1,488
pounds of sound squashes, showing u
moisture loss of 20.8 per cent, and a
loss from decay of 4.8 per cent. These
particular squaBheB sold at a much
higher price than they would have
earlier in the season, and thus cov-
ered the storage loss and gave a big-
ger profit than would have been other-
wise secured.—Country Gentleman.
Hospitals a Benefit to Property.
Tho National association for the
aiudy and Prevention of Tuberculosis
has recently concluded an Investiga-
tion, which shows that 07.6 per cent.
}f tho tuberculosis sanatoria und hos-
iltals of the United States have been
a benefit to the property and health
of tlin communities In which they are
located. In the care of more than 62
per cent, of tho sanatoria the presence
of the Institutions has helped to In-
crease the assessed value of surround-
ing property.

Months spent in n sick room have
taught me many things for the com-

Take a soft string and stick It with
a pin to tho back of a chair; after
lighting, blow It out gently, leaving
the tiny spark, which will create
smoke enough to make a decided dif-
ference in the atmosphere.—Harper's

The editor and family, like many
thousands of other farmers' families,
desire to enjoy tho comforts and Joys
of homo life, hike the others, we
bavo music, and social pleasures, with-
out h vlng to go to town for them.
Our daughters have a piano and three
of them handle it creditably, one skill-
fully. Although poor, we "live at home
Mid board at the same place."
This is said not boastfully, but by
way of familiar Illustration, to show
(hat many thousands of farmers are
furnishing their families with the real
ideasures of home life, so far ns their
<lnonclal ability will permit Farmers
and their families have the aesthetic
tastes to live like cultured people,

A fow more years of successful
work on tho -farm and through the
Farmers' union ought to place farmers
rind lltolr families where they belong,
in thO front rank of real culture and
refinement. Then our children will
not want to leave the farm. Union

Use of Money.
Money is the Idol of weak brains
To use money for what it was In-
tended, as a medium for the exchange
of commodities, makes it a blessing
to Intelligent people. When all that
a man can boast of Is the amount of
his dollars, ho gives evidence that he
is an inefficient member of his com-
munity and should bo shut up.
Look Backward, Then Forward.
No longer than two years ago tho
big dally and weekly papers laughed
at the Farmers' union and refused to
give space in their columns to letters,
meeting dates, etc. Thoy called
the union a fake and the members
fools, hook at 'em now, men. They
nre holding out their hands and im
ploring the union for news, news,

union now—but a while back nothing
was too bad. Why? Because they

ORIGIN
Of « Famous Human Food.
The story of the great dlscoverlei
or inventions ts always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va-
rious f<*>de and tbelr effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans be
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which wns a
brain nnd nerve bulldei (rather than
a mero fat maker) was universally
needed. Ho knew that moat with tho
average man docs not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that tho
loft gray substance In brain and
lervo centers is made from Albumen
And Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then bo started to solvo
tho problem.
