I FARMERS’ EDUCATIONAU
AND
CO-OPERATIVE UNION I
OF AMERICA
JNO. CRACKER vs. JNO. CRAKORE.
A Little Story With a Moral for Every
Union Man.
John Cracker and his wife lived in
a one-story, unpainted house, standing
in the middle of a cotton field. Not a
tree surrounded the house, not a bit
of green grass. His mules lived in a
log hovel, through which the winter
winds howled, and they ate cottonseed
hulls for lack of hay, and whatever
corn could be spared. John had some
scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all
winter, but not a cow to give them
, milk; and all winter and most of tilt
rest of the year the only vegetables
that appeared on their table were col
lards, field peas and sweet potatoes,
and their only bread was corn-dodgers
with fat Western bacon for grease.
John plowed all his land every year
for cotton, except a little piece of bot
tom land that went in corn every year
and he planted that one stalk in a
hill, six feet apart each way, “be
cause," he said, “corn must have air in
the South,” and he got more air than
corn, and not enough for “supplies."
John said “farmin’ don't pay,” but he
went on year after year in the same
old way and plowed the land right up
to the windows for cotton, and took
his holidays in bed with fever and
ague.
One spring, however, he and his
wife took a rare holiday by invita
tion of his cousin, the Hon. James
Crakore, who lived in a pretty homf
in a Northern town suburbs, surround
ed by a beautiful farm, with gravel
walks, shrubbery, trees, and flowers.
John and his wife had never fared
so sumptuously in their lives. There
was running water in the bed-rooms,
and fine porcelain bath-tubs in the
bath-room, which was heated by a ra
diator from the kitchen range. Soft
carpets covered the floors, and the
beds had soft mattresses made from
cotton felt. John and his wife felt lile
living in Paradise. Then the table
w-as supplied with fresh meats, with
green peas, snaps, tomatoes, cucum
bers, and a profusion of vegetables of I
all sorts. John wondered where they I
raised all these things, and was tolu j
that they came from the South where
he lived, and that they had to buy
, them at fancy prices, and they said I
“How fortunate you are to live in a
I climate where you can have all these |
things long before any of them can be
had here. You must be happy to live
where such luxuries can be had so
cheaply for the gathering. We would
love to live on a Southern farm and
enjoy these blessings that cost so
much here.”
John got to thinking. Sain he:
“Wife, we are not going to he Crack
ers any more, we are going to be
Crakores.” And they went home, and
John went to work and laid off a space
around his house for a lawn, and sow
ed it, and planted some trees and
shrubbeiv, and laid out flower beds for
his wife. He took The Southern Farm
Gazette and learned the value of a
farm rotation, and changed his farm
ing till he made more cotton on one
fourth of his land than he had before
made on all of it. He had corn to sell,
and oats for his mules and hay as
well, and bacon and mutton and beef.
Then he did not forget the vegetables,
but started a garden, and studied the
best in variety. 'I he old house was
painted and a broad porch added as
his farming began to pay. His children
began to take an interest in the home.1
and they, too, read the farm paper,
and went into the competition,s offered
for farm boys and girls, and often
beat John himself, and made him
think. A windmill and a deep pipe well
and a tank scon gave them water in
the house for range and bath and
fever was fco more.
Some years ago his cousin, the Hon >
Janies Crakore and his wife, came J
down for a visit in the South in late
winter, and they were so delighted
with everything, especially with the
fresh headed lettuce from the glass
covered n ame in tne garden, which |
was so crisp and fresh that it made [
the lettuce they had been buying i
North seem worthless. They were so
pleased that the Hon. James deter
mined to buy a little place in the
same section for a winter home to es
cape the rigors of the North, and to
have fresh vegetables from their own
garden instead of the stale shipped
stuff.
Moral: (Jet away from home, John,
and see how other people live, and you
will realize that you are not living up
to your opportunities, and that there
is something more in farming than
getting “supplies" for growing more
cotton merely; that farming pays,
while planting does not, and that beau
tiful surroundings make life better
worth the living, and that in a real
home your children will grow up in
telligent and worthy citizens, lenders
in improvement rather than treaders
in the. tracks of their grandfathers.—
W. F. Massey, in (Starkville, Miss.)
Southern Farm Gazette.
BY THEIR FRUITS.
Co-Operator:
We judge a tree by its fruits. This
is scriptural and therefore it is the
very essence of truth and good sense.
If a man points out to you a peach or
an apple tree in your orchard and
tells you the tree is worthless: that
it will not bear good fruit nor much
cf a yield, but if year \>y year that
tree goes on budding and blooming in
season and at the right time bringing
forth rich, luscious peaches or mellow
delicious apples, as the case may be.
i you will wisely judge the tree by its
fruits and not bv what this man has
told you, or listen to similar tales
from other people. In other words,
be just to the tree and judge it by
what it shows for itself, not by what
people say.
CO-OPERATOR CULLINGS.
Don't neglect the local newspaper.
Suggest to your local editor that he
ought to* have a Farmers’ Union de
partment. or il' not a special depart
ment, a portion of the paper devoted
to the interest of the local Union.
No man can afford to make up his
mind too hastily. When he does this,
he is generally sorry for it.
This country needs more farmers
who believe that since the farmer
makes the stuff that the people live
upon, that he is entitled to the best
of it.
Sit steady in the boat. There’s two
sides to every question. A sensible
man will not make up his mind till
both sides are heard; a fool will rush
in where ;Vn angel would fear to tread.
Let us be carlful always to know what
we are doing.
Those who took the advice of the
Union press and planted a lot of dow
ers in the front yard two months ago
are now getting back double pay.
Pretty soon the weather will be
very dry and hot, and it will be. a
good thing to give those trees you
planted last winter an occasional
drink of water.
If you have been keeping your poul
try in a tight house, now open it up
i even if you have to tear the sides off
of it. Close quarters will kill every
fowl on the place.

The Ills peculiar to women, take different forms.
Some ladies suffer, every month, from dark rings round their eyes, blotches on their skin and tired
feeling. Others suffer agonies of pain, that words can hardly express.
Whatever the symptoms, remember there is one medicine that will go beyond mere symptoms, and
act on the cause of their troubles, the weakened womanly organs.
