E EAST (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) 1 don’t know but some of you are | tired almost to death of having me talk so much about nu-opermion among farmers. Those who are please skip this, and turmn right over to the column of marriages and deaths or the base-ball news, or something else which you think worthy of your intelligent at- | tention. Frankly it “makes mo tired” to see the way in which the west is taking advantage of the co-operative idea, while we of the east are afraid to touch it with one of our fingers. Every farm state of the west is sown with [ ative enterprises of one sort or mo(:g« I don’t mean merely co-op- erative stores, sueh as we have suc- cessfully working in Maine and New York: I mean farmer-combinations for the purpese of buying and selling in common ,wherever there is advan- in so doing. ‘he last three western papers 1 hap pened to pick up,—The Prairie Farm #r of Chicago, The Farmer of St. Paul, mm. and The Dakots Farmer,—each ene gave up more space to accounts of co-operative farmers' organizations within their respective bishopgics than to any other one subject. There were reports from clubs which marketed their butter and eggs togeth- er; from clubs which sold their fruit and potatoes together; from clubs which seld broilers and bought poultry feed together; from clubs which bought grass-seed and bran and stock molasses together by the car-load; trom clubs which united their house- hold orders so as to buy their sugar and tea and salt and cereals together, Most of these clubs reported that their members secured a higher price for. what they sold than that which prevailed among individual sellers around them. All of them reported a considerable saving in the cost of the goods they purchased. That is, most of them got more money when went to market, and all of them left less money for they brought back. For years we farmers have been so regularly remorselessly skinned both ways, going and coming, that it ought to cheer us somewhat to find a way to | escape the skin-removing process in either direction. But what makes me wonder most is why this palpably easy and satis- factory way of both making money and saving money should be so popu- lar all through the west and so un- popular in the east. It can’t be be- cause we eastern communities are old- er and slower to take up innovations Why, there are countries in Kurope whose farms had been cultivated a thousand years before Columbus dis- covered America where co-operation ie more widely accepted and practised than in the west, even, If the age of a farming communiiy wera to bar it from interest in this modern form of economics then little old Denmhrk, where they kept ecattle and made cheese in Julius Caesar's day, wouldn't he organized in co-operation from one end to the other,—as it now I8, I've puzzled over this mystery n long ime. And I “don’t seem to get no for- rarder” towards the solution. There are plenty of differences between the westerner and the easternr,—differ- ences ‘superficial and differences deep- weated. But co-operation is esentlally a matter of simple common-sense. We're not ready yet,—at least one of us i8 not,—to admit that westerners have more of that quality than we. Some years ago a westernwoman who had become accustomed to the western way of looking at things and of doing them, came east and essay- ed to settle down in a quiet New Eng- land hamlet of two or three hundred years’ antiquity. he was charmed by the reposeful air of the village; its mense of restfulness, and the sug- gestion of “culture” which she thought she appreciated. At first everything was lovely as her dreams had painted. But, as she gradually—oh, very, very gradually,—came to have knowledge of the real inner life of the so peaceful surfaced neighborhood, she found that all was not as blissful as it seemed. Front gates swung ea indeed, on CRITICAL TIME OF WOMAN'S LIFE From 40 to 50 Years of Age. How It May Be Passed i Safely. 0Odd, Va.:— “I am enjoying better health than I have for 20 years, and I believe I can safely say now that Iam a well woman. I was reared on a farm and hadallkindsof heavy work to do which caused the troubles that came on me la- ter. For five years during the Change of Life T was not able to lift a pail of wa- ter. I had hemor- rthages which would last for weeksand I was pot able to sit upinbed. I suffered a great deal with my back and was so nervous I could scarcely sleep at night, and I did not do any housework for three years. “Now I can do as much work as any woman of my age in the county, thanks to the benefit I have received from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I recommend your remedies to all suffering women. '’ —Mrs. MARTHA L. HoLLowAy, Odd, Va. No other medicine for woman’s ills has received such wide-spread and unquali- fied endorsement. We know of no other medicine which has such a record of success as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. For more than 30 years it has been the standard remedy for womm’s ills. ou have the s hmt doubt that i “‘ ble Comgund will h? eilell'e”": ilce.
