Make A Partnei Th Haven't you ever wished for a business partner, Mr. Farmer?somebody to share the responsibilities of farm work and management?somebody to talk things over with when you are in doubt about any matter, and plan with you for bigger and better things from year to year? Of course, a man isn't much of a man if he doesn't make his wife a business partner; but we are speaking now of some partner actually working side by side with you in the fields. We also believe there are great opportunities for brothers, kinsfolk and neighbors to work together in farming?great economies to effect wherever farms adjoin, the two or more farmers joining together If! fhn 11 on /\# koomn m m.m bMU U0V \J K VVU Ui O f IV/U I O UilU III tl" chlnery. But what we have in mind right now, Brother Farmer, is the opportunity for making a business partner of that boy of vours. Nearly every city business man looks forward to hav_ ing his son succeed him in business, as you remember is vividly brought out in Dickens' story of "Dombey and Son" and in the more modern ^'Letters of a Self-Made Man to His Son." Nothing delights the city man more than to find his ton "taking to the business like a duck to water," and not merely working but studying, reading and thinking about all up to-dare methods of doing things, about labor-saving machinery, etc. And even the man who has almost lost his soul In the pursuit of wealth feels a thrill of pride as he discusses plans and prospects with the boy. But how is it in your business, Mr. Farmer? Are you doing like our Mr French and putting it on your stationery, "Sunny Home Farm, A. L. French & Son"? Or are you giving your boy the treatment suggested as punishment for the Prodigal Son, when it was proposed to treat him merely "as one of the hired servants?" It's none too early to begin making him an actual partner in your farming?none too early to get him interested not only in doing the man uui wuriv uu Lilt? liirm, out ftiso 111 makinK plans that call for business judgment and for knowledge of good scientific farming practice?rotation, drainage, cultivation, fertilizers, scientific feeding, breeding, etc. And if your boy hasn't passed the age limit, Mr. Farmer, there is no other way to teach him scientific farming so quickly as through Corn riubs and Pig Clubs. The contact with other boys and with teachers and demonstration agents, the keen ambition to make a fine record and possibly win a prize?all these will give him a zest for knowledge, an agornesa to find out every helpful fact and principle, such as ordinary farm work will not give him. It's with folks just as it is with horses, they never do their very levelest best unless they are in a keen, wild race ih their fellows. And right now, Mr. Farmer, right now is about the last chance to get your boy in the Corn Club or Pig Club work this year.

Of at Boy of Yours urge you, therefore, to Bit down tonight?not a day later?and write to your superintendent 6r your county demonstration agent and have your boy entered if he is willing to enter? Or else write quickly to your state agent whose name appears in our "Reference Special" alid has recently been repeated. Anyhow get your boy interested in farm work this year. Get htm to reading The Progressive Farmer; study the textbook on agriculture with him; give him an acre of corn or a pig for his very own; plan to have him make some exhibit at your county fair this fall; give him Satur_ day afternoons off for baseball or Ashing; and get him to join the local union with you and go with you to the farmers' institutes, the colt shows, corn shows and the state farmers' convention. It's a good ambition to aim to leave behind you the best farm in the county, but It's better to aim to leave a son who will be the best farmer In the county. And If you are going to do that, the thing to do is to begin now to make a real partner of him. Start him now In the Corn Club and Pig Club work.?The Progressive Farmer ONCE AGAIN, "LIVE AT HOME AND BOARD AT HAME PLACE." Make your farm feed Itself this year. Mr. Farmer. Rvprv nominff week only adds new evidence that there Is safety in no other plan. There is every prospect that on account of the advance in cotton prices as compared with last fall's low levels, farmers oy the tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands will plant as big an acreage of cotton ns ever. The negro tenants know no other crop, and the line of least resistance is to continue cotton. Moreover, thousands of supply merchants will insist that their men raise cotton and buy supplies from the store. There is also grave danger that the acreage in tobacco and peunuts will be excessive. Farmers who raise peanuts for their hogs and "market their crops on the lioof" will get their profits all right, but we hear from many sections tho fear of an overproduction of market peanuts this year. And as for tobacco, we fear that overproduction there is already assured. The old tobacco sections realze that prices are already low, and are not likely to increase acreage, but many new sections are going to risk planting tobacco instead of cotton. TI?a I 1 - ' ?in? new nftnuns Boin ; 'aero early last year before prices shimped and do not realize how badly prices did drop. In view of all these thin; ? we repeat that the on!' safet. .'s year and next lies in "living at home and hoarding at the same place."?The Progressive Farmer. tls Your Eyes 1 |ht of the RAYO Lamp f| ?ly m a harsh white glare f j Cists recommend the light I LAMP ( '.A ir I| m you the Rsyo.

The Idea is entertained by somej i of the older types of merchants that the good repute of their firm is spread from mouth to mouth in conversa- , l tion and that they do not need to j ' advertise In the newspapers. That condition may have prevailed years ago. when people had nothing ^ else to do but to gossip auout their neighbors. In those times everyone discussed all of his home purchases with all his neighbors. Today a man who depends upon j conversation and gossip to spread the news of his store, will not And that his place of business is much : free.aented. People do not exchango information about their domestic habits as they used to. You have little Idea whether your neighbors buy their goods of Smith. Hrnu n or io?o?, The world is full of wide Interests, and the bargains one may find in a certain store are ordinarily known only to those that find them. | The newspaper is the only efficient . means of acquainting the public with 1 the business news of the town. For ' one person that will learn something ! about a given store by word of mouth a hundred learn about it through newspaper notices. The advertising columns of a newspaper are read just as attentively as any sensation that may appear in the news columns. The results of the two policies are obvious. In one case a merchant i drags along, with only a small part j of the community knowing anything i , about what is happening in his store, i In the other case, practically every | one knows when that merchant has special bargains in his store at any given time. Can there be the least question as to which kind of merchant gets the business.?The Florence Times.

Who Can Doubt Sworn Testimony of Honest Citizens? Some time ago I began the use of your Swamp-Root with the most remarkable results. For years I was almost a wreck and was a great sufferer. I was so bad at times 1 would faint away e** " had sinking spells. Final'* : loctor was culled in a. he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which 1 took several bottles. I obtained some relief from this but I was getting weaker all the time. I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed After this time two friends sent me word to try Swamp-Root, which I did, and I am glad to state that the ilrsc dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose I was helped Into bed and slept half of the night. I took several bottles of SwampHoot and i feel thai I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two, family doctors said that I could not live three months. I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to <1 twenty times every ntght. After I n taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for' two days I was entirely free from v getting up and could sleep soundly. MRS. D. E. HILEMAN, ? Tunnelton, W.

IS WEOPREPARED Germany Thoroughly Organized to Meet War Strain. Ne'itral Observer of London Times Declares Empire Shows Less Disturbance Than Other Belligerents? Determined to Fight to End. Cologne.?The "neutral observer" of the London Times, who has been trnw. sling through Germany, declares that Lhe efficiency of the people is as great today as ever and that the force of all the people Is concentrated scientifically t>n the work of defense, says a dispatch to the semiofficial Cologne Gazette. The neutral observer, to his jreat surprise, arrived in Berllu punctually and without mishap. He thus iescrlbes the capital: "1 found in Berlin the cold, metallic, precise click of a great machine, not the throbbing heart of an empire. It is the most magnificent organization the world has ever seen. It is man reduced to an equation of efficiency. Of each lnllvldual is required about one-half the sffort of which he is capable. The remit Is that not only is the nation amply provided for any emergency, but >rdinary life 1b leBs disturbed than in iny other belligerent country. "After six months of war Germany teems to me almost as strong as on Lhe first day. closely united, little dls:urbed. The civil life of the nation ippears to continue as in time of peace. < 'To underestimate Germany's miliary reserve would be very Bhortsightjd. Military authorities state that her fi&ss of 1915, some 750,000 ablebodled, picked men, has not been called out. &.part from these, the numbers of 'un:ralned landwehr and landsturm' would run into millions. Though arms and ammunition factories are working day ind night, I have it from a reliable tource that Germany is only Just beginning to use her 1914 small arms ammunition. "Every possible effort is being made Lo preserve for the future such perish iDie stores as are now In the market.
