China's CiS Task.
The Chinese government Is'instltinV
las various reforms, and in some cases
is' employing drastic means. ' With re
gard to indulgence in opium, for in
stanee, the government appears to
have resolved folly that the bajjit
aaost go, and Is prepared to adopt se
vere measures to effect the purpose.
Regulations are now in force against
the. use, of the drug, 'and the govern
stent evidently is convinced that the
law is not" invariably complied with.
An imperial edict condemns several
princes and others high in office for
disregarding the law, and suspends
them from exercising their official
functions. Some leniency is shown to
men fairly well on in years, as those
ef 60 years or over who have acquired
the habit are given reasonable time in
which to discontinue it But If they,
within the prescribed period,and others
within a shorter time do not stop using
opium, all hands will be "fired" from
the office and Icse their rank as well.
Of course as regards the smaller fry
and the ordinary subjects, all caught
at "hitting the pipe" or otherwise in
dulging in the drug will be dealt with
la exemplary fashion. This Is reform
with a stern front, and It remains to
he seen whether it will succeed com
pletely, says Troy Times. The govern
ment can at least plead great provoca
tion. The opium habit, which, by the
way. was introduced from elsewhere,
has a powerful hold upon the Chinese
people, and its effects are most de
plorable and demoralizing. The better
sentiment of the world will sympathize
with the Peking government in its de
sire to stamp out the evil.
Back to the West.
' The buffaloes came from the west
and now they are going back. Tears
ago the animals roamed the plains in
countless numbers. Indiscriminate
slaughter by hunters of big game and
by settlers and Indians for food pur
poses has practically exterminated
them, in their old haunts. A few are
to be found in private parks and zoo
logical collections, and it appears that
from these sources the new supply
from the west must come, if at all.
.There is an 8.000-acre national reser
vation in Oklahoma, established by the
United States government, and here
It is proposed to gather as many of the
buffaloes as possible, turn them loose
under conditions approximating those
of their native habitat and leave them
'to enjoy life and to increase and mul
tiply after their kind. Some of the
buffaloes will come from the New
York zoological park in the Bronx,
and a "cowboy naturalist" is about to
start from Oklahoma to round up the
beasts and take them to their new
western home.
King Chulalongkorn of Siam is
going home, but Europe will long re
member the wide swath he cut there
and the ch he sowed broadcast The
climax was reached in his birthday
celebration in Germany, when he "cut
loose" for three days and cornered the
wine and beer market in search of an
adequate supply of those beverages,
which were furnished free to all com--era.
He also spent several millions in
paying hotel bills and buying jewelry,
and there Is not the slightest doubt
that the departure of his majesty will
be sincerely mourned by all who
shared in the royal largess. The king's
return Is in keeping with his triumph
al progress through Europe. He has
chartered the entire first cabin of the
steamer on which he and his suite are
'to take passage for th east
)
LilHan Russell is quoted as saying
that "divorce Is the greatest blessing
:in the world to-day." She has un
doubtedly had experience enough to
speak with authority; but her expe
rience Is equal with matrimony, and It
has been observed that her divorces
'have been followed by further matri
monial ventures. Perhaps her argu
ment Is that divorce is a blessing be
cause it opens the way to so varied an
acquaintance with the blessings of di
versified matrimony.
London lays claim to the chavpion
'lazy man of the world. In support of
the claim it gives his statement that
he never voluntarily did an hour's
work in his life, and the fact that
he went to sleep while the court
was sentencing him to the workhouse.
Indiana ought to be able to produce
some man who is too lazy to go to
sleep.
Is there nothing on which scientists
can agree? A Paris doctor say3
prunes may bring on baldness. How

The young man who married "his
step-grandmother in Xew York state

Now the college professor goes back
to his daily grind with a sigh and
wishes he had devoted his energies
to the cultivation of a drop curve.
Fortune of mind body, wealth and
power are constantly shifting like des
ert sands blown by the whirling winds

There Is a "concrete" hell, accord

NEED CO-OPERATION
ESSENTIAL TO UCCESf)vIH ALL
BUSINESS UNDERTAKINGS. -
t
..v.?
im SOME LATE IMPOSITIONS
Schemes Devised to Deceive the Peo
ple and e Gain Support ter, Uv
twund Financial Prepo
sitions. Harmonious ee-operatlom is essen
tial in any successfml business. By
cooperation is not meant each erga
nixation as the communistic and mon
astic societies found in parts of the
European countries, and occasionally
existing in America. As co-oprio
relates to manufacture and commer
cialism, it simply means a righteous
regard on part of employer and the
employed for the liberty and priril
ego -of both. It means of the laborer,
n just day's work for a just day's
compensation; and for the employer,
services rendered for the wages he
must pay. Interests of both are paral
lel. One has his capital invested,
money employed and the other has al
so his capital represented by his abil
ity to labor either In n mental er
physical capacity.
In England and in parts of Ger
many, there are numerous societies,
the workers in each being common
stockholders and participating in all
profits according to their holdings.
In fact these societies are nothing
more than the great railroad com
panies and industrial concerns of
America, only that in the latter the
stockholders seldom take an active
part in the work performed. One who
takes the care to study Into condi
tions in the countries where this
form of co-operation exists, will find
environments far different from what
obtains in the United States. In vari
ous places and at different times at
tempts to copy after the English co
operative societies have been made In
the United States. Failure has re
warded the efforts made. Some few
communities flourished for a time,
then decayed.
Propped up by the success of the
few successful organizations in the
old country, shrewd schemers have
started different commercial enter
prises in citias of the United States,
supposed to be operated upon the co
operative plan. When carefully stud
ied, and the plans of the promoters
dissected, it will be found that co
operation in these cases seems simp
ly the getting into business on other
people's money, and weaving around
the enterprise such appearances as
leads the unsophisticated to believe
that from few dollars invested, great
savings can be ma-Je. In fact the
co-operative plan is more for the pur
pose of advertising a private' business
proposition and gaining trade from
those who N invest their dollars in the
plan.
It is a foolish thing for the resi
dent of any town .or farming commu
nity to invest money in such enter
prises, which means competition for
his home town, the killing Qff of its
business And the building up of con
cerns in large cities. The earnest man
or woman can see in their own home
place splendid chances for co-operation.
Established business systems
as found in the rural towns, are
splendid examples of what co-operation
should he. The home merchant
supplies the residents of the place
with the commodities that they re
quire; the merchant is the medium
of exchange of the products of the
farmer. In the transactions employ
ment is given to home labor, and the
little profits are kept at home for
the benefit of all in the community.
Co-operation can be simmered down
to a strictly home-trade principle, and
there can be no higher form, no sys
tem Inaugurated that will bring bet
ter results to the masses. Before you
invest in co-operative mercantile
schemes devised by shrewd business
men in the large cities, study every
phase of the question well, and you
are likely to conclude that in your
own town there is plenty of room for
co-operative work.
EQUITABLE PROFITS.
Cost ef Production Should Always Bs
a Factor In the Matter ef Prices.
Profits should bear an equitable re
lation to cost of production. The farm
er who has money invested in lands,
agricultural implements, stocks, and
other things necessary to carry on his
business, when selling his products
must take Into consideration the inter
est on his money invested, the wear
and tear of farm equipment, the wages
of hired help and a salary for his own
service. When he sells his products
for less than pays the expenses nec
essary to carry on his work and culti
vate his crops, care for his stock, etc.,
he is the loser. The same principles
apply to the person engaged in any
other line of business. There is inter
est on capital employed, wages, taxes,
license and cost of articles which com
prise the stock necessary for. opera
tion. Goods must be sold at a certain
percentage of profit or there will be
a case for the sheriff or the bank
ruptcy court In dealing with our
fellow men we should always bear in
mind the principles of business, and
not' exact too great profits or sell cr
buy at prices other than equitable. It
is also a good thing to remember when
great bargains are offered that cost
of production and legitimate profits
must be considered. Too low prices
give cause for suspicion that goods
are inferior in some way, or that there
is a "nigger In the fence."
Almost every small town has an Ice
house of sufficient capacity to supply
the people locally with ice. It would
not bs very expensive to conduct in
connection with it a cold storage plant
of capacity great enough to care for
the storage of fruit, eggs and other
produce brought In from .the sur
rounding country. Such an establish
ment would often save farmers con
siderable money, by enabling them to
keep their products for a favorable

The American farmer is i progres
sive mortal. He Is always ready to
!eam new things. He realizes more
than evers the. necessity of education
in his business. He nolonger ignores
the fact that science is a wondsrful
factor In his work, n money saver
that must be considered if he suc
ceed. The more intelligent is the
farmer, the more interest win he take
in the furthering "of the interests ef

American public schools are the
great props of national government.
The more prosperous is a community
the higher will be the educational fa
cilities'. Good schools are a help to
any town, and bring into it the most
desirable classes who seek to educate
their children. He who assists in
building up the business of a town,
also assists in bettering the schools.
No town was ever made great by its
people and those in its neighborhood
giving patronage to distant institutions.
FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.
Prosecution of Oppressive Combines
Afford a Lesson to Heme Traders.
Never before has there been such
a stirring up of the masses and an
awakening as to rottenness in finan
cial affairs among the large corpora
tions as at present Some one at one
time said that "when thieves fall out
the devil gets his reward." So it
seems at present when faction is ar
rayed against faction in exposing
crooked operations in great financial
and business deals, in which the little
fish are swallowed by the big ones,
and the men in control, like wolves,
lead the lambs to slaughter.
It Is amazing how farspread are the
frauds practiced, and how high up in
public estimation are the manipula
tors of the rotten deals. The stealings
of the millionaires and multi-millionaires,
the intrigues and their perjuri
ous lying and misrepresentations to
accomplish their aims; the intricacy
of the machinery used in their opera
tions, the perfection of the means, the
combinations employed to fleece the
people of dollars, would do credit to
a 'Gsgllostro or a Machiavelli, or a
Capt Kidd.
There cannot be doubt that these
various articles appearing in the mag
azines and general newspapers will
have the result of 'opening the eyes
of the public to things that few hereto
fore ever gave serious consideration.
They will have the effect of making
the people more cautious In making
investments of their earnings, and
will result in lessons that are bene
ficial to the country at large. Home
trade principles preclude the possibil
ity of people losing by the operations
of such gigantic schemers. Money in
vested in your own community In the
development of ts latent resources
will give excellent returns, is ever
under your own observation, and while
the percentage of profit from some
home investments may not be up to
the representations made by the ma
nipulators of stocks and the shearers
of iambs in general, you are not se
likely to be a loser.
D. U.CARJL
MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visiters
and Attract Trade.
How to attract trade to towns Is a
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
fcrpeople of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the ob
jects desired. The people of the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns -that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought In contact with the city peo
ple on a friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for "market day." For this
occasion bands of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are em
ployed to interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattlo, hogs, in
fact every product that they have for
sale, and the same is auctioned off to
the best advantage. On these market
day3 all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprising small, towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become note.d for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood of less enterprising towns.
The market-day idea is worthy of con
sideration by business men in small
towns who desire to pursue an inex
pensive method of attracting trade to
the place.

With the decrease of farm help
there is bound to be an increase in
farm machinery and horses. Prices of
horses continue high. Keep on rais
ing good draft colts.
Here's a good toast for the, farmer:
"'Here's health, wealth, long life, hap
piness and prosperity; good crop of
corn, good price for your wool, more
friends and less need of them."
Be sure and have a goodly supply
of fuel in the shed ready for the busy
housewife. Think of her having to go
out' to the woodpile and to pick from
snow-covered and ice-coated sticks.
The music which sounds good to the
farmer's ear is the cackling of the
busy hen, the crowing of the lordly
rooster, the contented grunting of the
swine, the lowing of the cattle and the
barking of the dog..
As you drive to town to do a little

Have you housed all the farm im
plements yet? In passing along the
roadside the other day during one of
the drizzly cold 'rains we always get in
the fall, I noticed a plow, bright and
fresh from the fields and a brand
new one it looked, too which was
standing out in all the miserable
weather. And the next time that
farmer uses that plow he will have to
turn many a furrow before the rust
has been rubbed from the mold board.
Separate all swine which give indi
cations of being afflicted with canker,
as it is contagious. In the treatment
of the sick ones the Oklahoma experi

of carbolic acid and lard in the pro
portion of one of acid and eight of lard.
This may be applied to the diseased
spots before sloughing occurs. For
open sores or sloughs use tincttoe
iodine one part and vaseline six parts.
Apply this ointment every two or
three days. A tobacco solution (to
bacco one part and water 20 parts)
may be made by steeping the tobacco
for 10 or 20 hours in warm water. This
may be applied to the ulcers instead
of the iod-ine and vaseline. The dis
ease is generally stubborn to treat and
several applications of any of the
above remedies may be required to
effect a cure.
As a result of experiments by the
Pennsylvania experiment station the
following conclusions have bsca
reached regarding the growing of al
falfa: Under favorable conditions al
falfa yields a most satisfastory crop
for soiling and for hay. It should be
cut when coming into blossom. Twen
ty to thirty pounds of seed should be
sown per acre. Summer or fall saed
ing following thorough tillage is rec
ommended. Spring seeding is more
likelv to be choked out by weeds.
'Deep, well drained soils are best. Do
not sow on wet land, it innves in a
compact gravelly, soil of good draln
age'quite as well as In a Iocse loam.
It grew best where a heavy applica
tion of phosphoric acid and potash
had been made. Five tons of manure
per acre gave better results than the
phosphoric acid and potash contained
in 500 pounds of a' good brand of com
mercial fertilizer. Turkestan alfalfa
did not equal in yield the common al

"The, young man in love seems to

Says a sheep owner: "It did not
cost me any more to feed my sheep
which produced over 14 pounds of
wool than It did to feed thosa which
clipped only seven pounds, and that
is above the average. , '
Butter fat is too valuable to be fed
to pigs and calves. The separator is
the only method by which all the fat
can be removed. This leaves the skim
milk which can be balanced up with
corn meal and flax seed meal.
Raising healthy calves by hand de
mands absolute cleanliness. The meth
od of a good many farmers to let tho
calves give the feed pail3 all ,tho
cleansing that they receive is danger
ous. The pail should be washed and
scalded at least once a day. A calf
cannot lick a pail clean eaough to bo
germ proof. ,
Look after the teeth of the horse
that bolts its grain. It may be that
there are sharp points which render
proper mastication difficult or impos
sible. Discourage bolting, also, by feed
ing the grain in a box with a very
wide bottom, so that it will be thinly
distributed and prevent the animal
from giabblng a full mouthfuL
Selling eggs by weight is a possi
bility of the far distant future. A
large egg brings no more than the
small one when sold by count, which
the producer of large egg3 does not
think is right but all hands would be
Buspicious of selling eggs by weight
By count it is easy to know the exact
quantity sold, but by weight there
would be a chance for the old cry of,
"be cheated me on the weight of thosa
eggs."
Prof. Henry s advice concerning tho
weaning of lamb3 is sound and should
be followed. First of all he says that
the lambs should be so far separated
from their dams that neither can
hear the bleating of the other. For a
few days the ewes should be held on
short pasture or kept in the yard upon
dry feed. Their uQders should be ex
amined, and if necessary, as is often
the case with the bast mothers, they
should be drained of milk a few times
lest inflammation arise. At weaning
time the lambs should be put en the
best pasture and given a liberal sup
ply of grain In addition, in order to
mitigate the effects of weaning.
The testing of cows for their ability
to produce butter fat Is the only way
in which the farmer can tell which i3
the profitable cow and which is not.
Of course every farmer can do this
work of testing for himself, but tho
matter is made easier where testing
associations are formed and someone
is employed to give all his time to the
work of testing the cows in a certain
community. This system is growing
In Wisconsin, and should be Intro-
duced In every state In which cows
are extensively kept Increase in ths
number of cow testing associations
will mean the saving the best cows for
breeders and the letting go bf many
cows that are not paying their board.
The latter kind of cows should be
disposed of as rapidly as possible,, as
they .are a great drag, on the dairy industry.

Shy One Fare.
Inspector Johnson, of the Columbus
Railway company, tells the following
story of one of his new conductors:
The inspector had boarded a car on
one of the East Side lines and glanc
ing at the register, noticed that there,
were nine passengers on and eniy
eight fares. He touched the conductor
on the shoulder, a green man from
the country, and said:
"You are shy one fare. There are
nine people en the car and only eight
fares collected."
"By gorh," said the conductor,
"that's right, and hastily grabbing the
bell cord, he stopped the car and yell
ing at the passengers ordered one cf
them to "git off." Columbus Despatch.
Worse and Worse.
"The late Admiral Walker," said n
naval officer In Washington, "believed
heartily in marriage for sailors. He al
ways urged sailors to wed. Nautical
bachelors were held up to scorn by
him.
"Strolling with him In Xew York
one day we met a young ship-broker.
Admiral Walker bailed the young man
delightedly. He clapped him on the
back, wrung hfs hand and cried:
"'Congratulations on your marriage,
my young friend. No more sewing on
of buttons now, eh?'
"No, indeed, said the ship-broker
sharply. 1 wear a belt now. It keeps
me so busy raising money to pay my
wife's bills that I have no time to
sew on buttons.'"
PLEASANT SUMMER.
Right Focd the Cause.
A Wis. woman says:
"I was run down and weak, troubled
with nervousness and headache for the
last six years. The least excitement
would make me nervous and cause
severe headache.
"This summer I have been eating
Grape-Nuts regularly and feel better
than for the six past years.
"I am not troubled with headache
and nervousness, and weigh more than
I ever have before In my life. I gained
5 lbs. In one week."
