Figures in a Farm Pageant 
At the recent farmers’ meetings at the 
New Hampshire University at Durham, 
a pageant or play was presented in an 
effort to show some of the common things 
of farm and garden life. In former years 
In the New Hampshire Pageant this ap¬ 
ple: was attacked by figures representing 
scab, sooty fungus, tent caterpillar, and 
codling moth. These pests were finally 
driven off by a power sprayer. 
a farm parade has been staged during 
farmers’ week, but the events this year 
were different, and of a very interesting 
type. Pictures are given this week show¬ 
ing some of the presentments in an ef- 
4 ft. across. It runs over slightly. How 
would it do to arrange an outlet like that 
for a septic tank? I would use a 4-in. 
iron soil pipe with elbow to bring the 
opening a foot below the surface of the 
crust in the cesspool, and leading to 100 
ft. of land drain tile laid with open joints.

You would then have a crude form of 
septic tank that might work satisfac¬ 
torily. It would not be necessary to bury 
the tiles more than a foot in depth, as it

which country people have to deal with. 
We are giving pictures showing some of 
these things, that run all the way from 
the presentment of a human carrot to a

disinfection takes place most rapidly. The 
inlet to the cesspool should also be below 
the crust upon the surface of its contents, 
to avoid disturbing this, and the cesspool

orchard—a tent caterpillar. The show 
was called an excellent one, a great nov¬ 
elty in its line, and it produced great 
amusement and instruction among the 
young people who took part in it and 
played the part of these various farm 
productions. It becomes something of a 
study at times to know what can be pre¬ 
sented in these farm gatherings. Most of 
the old-time things have been given over 
and over, and have now become rather 
stale, and it requires brain work and con¬ 
siderable skill to develop something new, 
and that is what the audience demands.

Organized Co-operation 
A NEW BOOK By JOHN J. DILLON 
This book is written in three 
parts. 
PART ONE.—The Develop¬ 
ment of the Agricultural Indus¬ 
try. In five chapters. 
PART TWO. — Fundamental 
Principles and Adaptable Forms 
of Co-operative Organization. In 
xen chapters. 
PART THREE. — Application 
of Co-operation to Efficient and 
Economic Distribution of Farm 
Products. In seven chapters. 
This is a new treatment of the 
co-operative subject. Heretofore 
writers of b«.oks ha,ve contented 
themselves w'th accounts of co¬ 
operative work where established. 
It has been mostly propaganda 
and exhortation. This was all 
good in its time. But we have 
grown beyond it. Farmers are 
now committed to co-operation. 
Once shy of it, they are at last a 
unit for it. What they want now 
is principles and definite policies 
that have Droved successful. This 
book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and il 
is to be hop d better, books will 
follow on this line; but for the 
present there is no other book 
seriously treating the subject of 
organized co-operation.
