has no desire or intention to become
personal in this discussion.but he
hopes to say a few things which will
bring eome of our less thoughtful and!
loss considerate farmersto a realiza-
tion that by their frequent and oute
spoken criticisms of the various co-
operative enterprises, which are de-
velopingas never befere, they - are
hurting the farming .businoss as a
whole.
There are two kinds of criticism -
or helpful, and destruc-
tive, or hurtful. The former is al-
ways welcomed by officers, boards of
directors and others who are in posie,
tion to profit by tbe criticism -or sug-
gestion. This kind always builde

To illustrate: As a county agricul-
tural 'agent the writer is- criticising
our looal creamery organization be-
cause it is- a -stock company, has only
a small number of stockholders, has
to pay enteeest on its capital stock,
has no mecum for pioviding adequate
fi»anees, and has ne fending force to
hold its patrons together. This criti-
cism is being presented, along with
the proper remedy, to officers, direc-
tors and etockholders. The remedy
-which is to organize midge the non-
profit, co-operative law, and have
memberships instead of shares, a
collateral note by each member for
financing, and regular patronage

FARM VS0 CITY EMPLOYMEET
13y M. Rigby
In Many sections ie la not only the
draft that has reduced the available
supply of farm labor. Men and
boys have been drifting to the city
fax ten years or 'more because of the
seemingly high wages that have been
paid in the factomes. Sonic men who
would have been owners by this time
if they had remainedon the farm are
, now working for wages and spending
noel of their income to meet the daily
P1115.
A wage of $5,00 per day looks
; quitelarge to many farmers and in
!addition when that wage is guar-
• anteed, it seerns to be a doubly fine
proposition. 'Right DOW, there are
some farmers vele> can hardly resist
selling their land, investing the
nioney in bonds and hiring out in fac-
tories where theft. income will be
guaranteed. They forgen the vest
of living in the city. et seems as it
it is, good business to stick -by the
farm in these uncertain times.
The shorter leours of city employ-
ment usually appeal to the farmer.
One famner who became tired of
twelve and Aiirteen hours on the
etarm hired out to eerie in an automo-
bile factory where the men worked
ten hours each day. One"the farm
he had worked long- hours, but the
work had constantly changed and he

In the factory he was placed on a
drill press and for tieveral weeks he
made three boles through a certa.in
piece of inetalaand then ho took an -

through that, and eo on for three
weeks. It was the same job over

!man who has always worked with ant -
mats is always lonesome without
them. I know of one farmer who
worked in a city for a short time in-
stead of farming as he would have
!liked to have done. The vaudeville
: shows soon became nninteresting,eit
' was lonesome in the crowds and the
advantages of city life seemed very
few, but that- man never tired of

where they had day -Old chicks,
pigeons and clogs for sale. The
familiar pets which he had onmed
back on the farra were oe more in-
terest than all the deee,rsions, which
he had looked forward to enjoying in
the city. "
City wages are net nage when the
cost of living is considered. Some
men with special training do very
well in the city and many mon acquire
that training from experience but the
farmer who knees the .farming busi-
ness knows a trade that is worth
money to -clay and he should try and
work wheee his skill will do most for
the -country.
If a man knows where he is going
to land in the cit( it may be a safe
adventure. He may succeed and
earn more money than- he Will obtain
on the farm. However, tbies is a poor
time to seeetnate and the average
farmer who can make e living 00 his
land is pot going; to gain much by go-
ing to the" city. He will not be sure
, of much more than a living in the city
and it Will cost just as muell effort
and it may bring a maner return.

Jaundice.
Jaundice is a group of symptoms,
not a disease. In rural ' districts
where certain sick people are said to

attention is thereby called A only
one phase which is common to Sev-
eral diseaseseincluding cancer, ma-
laria, lead, arsenic or phosphorus
poisoning and Bright's disease, this
term, however, giving only a hint of
.what the disease may be.
In reality, jaundice means discol-
oration of the tisanes and fluids of
the body with bile _pigment, making
t'ne skin and other -tissues yellow,
like tbe eyes of a weasel or the yel-
low bird after which the condition is
also called icterus.
This diecoloration may come from
a variety of causes, great shock or
intense emotion, or great strain such'
as that which infants often experi-
ence in the process of birth will
cause 11, o also will poisons and ine
feetions of various kinds.

Strictly speaking the skin in jaun-

tal cause.
