ization could not function in competi-
tion with other agencies.
To avoid such a condition a very
simple principle has been discovered.
It is known as the pooling method.
When a consignment is received by
a cooperative marketing organization
it is first graded strictly according to
quaIity. An accurate account is kept
of the weight and grade, or in other
words, of the quantity and quality of
the consignment. It is then pooled
or mingled with other product of the
same kind and quality. This is called
pooling, and the divisions of the pro-
duct according to grade are called
pools- There is the No. 1 pool for the
No. 1 quality of product that conies
in, a No. 2 pool for No, 2 quality of
product, and so on through the various
grades.
The above is ealled pooling accord-
ing to grade. With products having a
more or less constant production
through the year or the greater part
of the year another division is neces-
sary. This second division is accord-
ing to time, For example a co-oper-
ative association for marketing cheese
might have monthly pools. All No. 1
cheese received during the month of
Juno would go into the No. 1 June health andwholeness untouched by a

advance of a part of the price. The
amount of this advance is generally
determined by the loan value of the

that will be loaned by the ,banks on

Banks regularly do this with all staple

trite sacrament, --"an outward and
visible sigh Of. an inward and spiritual
-grace," We do well to remind our-
selves as well as children to say'
"Thank you," remembering the great
gratitude of the Samaritan, who "fell
down on his :face at his feet, giving
liter into his gates with thanks riving, and into his him thanks." 4

Lesson Setting—Those who think
that a ministry of healing would make
the preaching of the gospel a tri
umphal mai5ch, have something to
learn front the incident of our lesson:
Here we have Christ healing men
afflicted with a dread disease. Yet
ninety per cent. of the men thus
healed went back to their life of

Sales from thep o
made' by the ,organization strictly on
thegraded basis. When the product in
any ono particular pool has all been
sold the cost of handling is first de-
ducted. It will be shown in a later
article how these costs are estimated.
The balance, including the advances
that have been made, is the total net
price received foe all the product in
the pool. The average per unit for
the pool is then struck and each mem-
ber contributing to the pool gets his
proportionate share.' What the pro-
ducer receives, therefore, is the net
average price received for the pool
into which his product graded.
, A member,may have sent in product
of various grades which Would, there-
fore, go into different pools. In every
case, however, he gets the net price,

above, for Iris contribution to eaeh

est impulse. He was a Samaritan.
The one from whom least. might be
expected, was the one who showed
the deepest realization of the great-
ness of the blessing bestowed upon
him. :The nine Jewish lepers went to
the priest with their flesh like ,the'
flesh of a little child, and were rector=
ed to society. The 'Samaritan went
with cleansed body and a changed
heart, and was restored, not only to
human fellowvship, but to grateful fel-
lowship with God;

To -day's lesson has a folicitous
title, "The Grace of Gratitude." It is
a grace, a fair, :beautiful thing. Cour-
tesy is a delightful element in human
intercourse. The pleasant word ex-
tpreesing recognition and appreeiatlon
is like mercy. "It is twice blessed:
It blesseth• him that gives and him
that takes," and one might go on with
this comparison, "lis mightiest ,in
the mightiest; it Becomes the throned
monarch better 'than his cleave."

"Praise God from whom aII bless-
ings flow." The Samaritan not only
thanked Jesus, he went on to "give
glory to God." Applying this lesson
to the lives of folk to -day, the first
and most obvious observation would
be that We should glorify God ,.for
healing, "When he saw that he was
healed" he "glorified God," Every
one knows how natural it is to pray
for healing when one is really ill,—
should not the impulse that drives us
to .God in petition persist and consum-
mete itself in giving Gad thanks?
We should learn St. Francis' Song
of Praise for God's great gifts bo-
stowed on all. "Praised 'be thou, my
Lord, for Brother Sun , ad beauti-
ful, so bright, , , for the Moon, whom
as Sister we greet, . . for 'Brother
Wind and for Air and Cloudy . . for

. ful and -bright, so mighty, so strong,
for our Sister dear Mother Earth,

• keeper from dearth" Many of us are
Franciscans on Thanksgiving Day,
and we may have other holy days of
remembrance, but .a constant joyous
spirit of gratitude for life's common
mercies cones either as a special gift
of 'God, or is obtained with a great
sunt, the sustained habit of devout re-
ballection, and this habit, like all
others, is the result of practice. •

Do You Pity Too
Many People?
BY B1IUCE. BARTON,
A farmer's wifewrote to me once.
the letter contained 'this paragraph:
"I never look across our meadows
or.walk out under the stars without
thinking of the women who are coop-
ed up in the cities. How do they stand
it—the bard city pavements instead
ef green grass; the hazeof emoke
covering their little .patches of sky,
and the dull roar of the traffic in their
ears? Poor, shut-in women, I pity
them I"
Some weelcs went by, and one even-
ing I met one of the very women she
was talking about -a `cooped -rep"
woman who sees neither woods nor
grass nor stare,Was she miserable?
On the contrary, she was not only
quite content, .but took occasion dur-
ing our talk to express voluble eym-
pathy with the women of the farms.
"I should 'think they would go
crazy!" she exclaimed. "It must be
so some—the dreadfull; lou
Y e e long win-
ters with snow piled knee-deep every-
hero i no

human life
except the rural free delivery man
once a day! Poor things, I certainly
pity them!"
Now I ask you ,to think' fora mo
nient of the emotional waste which
these two women represent, each pity-
ing the other, What a useless per-
formance! To be sure, it involves no
effort,'and is accompanied by a cer-
tain unmerited sense of self-satisfac-
tion. Each thinks she should have
credit for something rather fine and
generous, when, as a natter of fact,
she hag merely indulged herself in a
futile debauch of feeling. Of 'that sort
of effortless sentimentality the world
has an oversupply.
Years ago, when I worked in a
Montana construction camp, I used
to look down at the Montenegrins and
Serbs who were digging our ditches.
"Poor devils, up to your hips in cold
water," I said to myself, "what does.'`
life hold for you?" '
It occurred to me one day that they
might be pitying me. Why not? There
I was on a salary less than their
monthly wage, condemned to long
hours of figuring after their day's
work was done. They 'were in the
ditches for only a few years; then,.:
with their savings, they were going
bade home to live in leisure the rest
of their lives. How many years would
I have to work 'before niy savings
would support me according to our
standards? ,And how foolish it was
to seek to apply my standards to
them!
William James, in one of his great
chapters, warns us against the menace
of such emotions which neves express
themselves in action. Be lifted or in-
spired 'by a wave of feeling, and you
are a stronger man or woman provid-
ed you promptly do something fine or
unselfish under the impulse. Do no-
thing, and the emotion merely cor-
rodes, and Sion are worse off, rather
than 'better.
"Trust in God and do something"
was the motto of Mary Lyon who
founded Mount Holyoke College, For
trusting that never led to doing she
had very little use.
The motto -could well be reworded to
read: "Pity people only when you
mean to do something about it" But
keep yourself from the deteriorating
habit of promiscuous pitying. .,
The chances are that the people to
whom you send ou't that sort of pity
are sending back an equal or greater
amount to you.
Small Fruit and Poultry.
Red rasebetries furnish a dense
shade on the poultry range where
young stock are -growing. • They also
furnish a hiding place when hawks
appear, The Berries are borne high
enough in the foliage so that few will
be taken by young chickens. Black-
berries are borne out where the poul-
try can see them and. will often be _
pecked. They do not make 00 good
shade as raspberries, Currants and
gooseberries will usually be ailpicked
off while still very :small and green.
In small poultry yards plums seem
to be the most satisfactory tree fruit.
'Select varieties that grow, near to the
ground and prune then so the lower
limbs will remain for shade. Growing
poultry' will not liy into: the trees
enough to injure the fruit seriously
but they will pick up ourculio and
other insects that may injure the fruit.
Peach trees need a lot of cultivation
and spraying and are not as good as..
plums in the poultry yards. Apples
grew slowly and when mature they
may be too large for small yards,
They need, a lot of spraying and trees
;too near the poultry. )rouses cannot 'bo

range,
The combination of fruit and .poul-
tiy cannot be made on a large scale
unless there.is plenty of labor avail-
able. Both are jobs for specialists
when carried on intensively: But a
email amount of fruit on the poultry
farm proves good for the poultry and
may prove a profitable-sidJlino if
properly managed.
