which are derived from the profits in
trade. For two yearsa dividend of
five per cent. was declared every SIX
months, but all at once, last Winter. it
was found, on taking account OF stock,
that there was loss or deficiency OF
about $1,000. Why this was SO the
superintendent could give no account
except that he had made iniudicious
bargins. A new manager was en-
p'oyed, and since then they have been
gaining, and they expect soon to be
square again. Everything now seems
in good order.
The profit on sales is not much oy er
ten per cent. tor the reason that sales
everywhere are close They pay 5000
year rent, and So day to the mana
.er, and they have two clerks. How
ever, they rent part OF the building.
They have no cashier or checks of any
sind. They trade about 800 day,
but at first their sales exceeded this.
1T was the intention to buy and sell To-,
cash, but after a while they got 80
lays time, and next they were 80
days behind: but they now do bust
ness steadily on this basis When a
>iockholder wishes to sell ont he must
give three months notice, but if he
Il take goods he can have his pay at
once. AS III was the dead OF Winter,
,''i most OF the manufacturing estab.
lishments closed, business in the whole
WA was dull, but they seemed to be
doing their share.
luvse are all the cooperative stores
l could hear OF in this vicinity, but
from a newspaper account l gather
there is store in st Clair, Pa, which
IS much more extensive. For six
months, ending Jan. 20, 1869, the
amount Of sales ofdry goods, groceries
md boots and shoes, was $45,973 70.
The value OF stock on hand was about
$4,000, ofwhich $4,000 was cash.
Partial break downs are inseparable
rom all kinds OF commercial transac
tons, and it may be said that success
Is always based upon some degree Of
misfortune, or even upon failure, More
and more do society anil business men
Tee the value OF capabllty, united with
onesty. OF the two, honesty is tar
more important, for, If time is given,
capabllity can be acquired. In start
az coopera.i e societies an honest
manager is the first requisite, and the
.pltal should be in proportion TO his
apab,lity. His capacity for manage
'nent may be rated at 500, $500, or
$1,000 power-whatever 1t may be,
give him this: let it rather be under
nan above his capacity, and as this
capacity increases, increase the capital.
In this manner precisely did the Won
derful.y successful Rochdalc Society
of England have Its rise, but they con-
tributcd capital slowly because they
could &c. it to invest in no other way.
All this means, before man succeeds
he must begin. The reason why coop
erative stores have failed Is because
the members did not learn this at the
,eginnng. 1t was like boy com
ncncing arithmetic at the Rule OF
Three. Ifcoopcrators can understand
that nothing in this world can be OF
any value unless 1t progresses from the
first and elementary stages gradually
toward perfection, while none OF the
successive stages are to be neglected,
hey will have acquired all the knowl
edge necessary to make cooperation
a complete success. N. G. NJ.

MWlclatnx Berry Bushes, Straw.
berry Vines and Fruit Trees.

at the Oneida Community, last sea
son, the experiment OF mulching rasr-
Berry bushes was tried upon rows OF
he Franconia and Philadelphia, stand
ng near each other, while rows OF
ach of these varieties near by were
'ot mulched. The result OF the mulch
ng upon the Frxnconias was to make
mem produce nearly double the
.laoun; OF fruit produced by those
lot mulcl,ed, the Latter being so badly
.corcled that their .aeves crumpled in
ne sun. The effect OF the mulching
;pon tn. Phiadeiphias, although less
marked, was much the same, the quail
y and size OF the berries being in
creased. Halt-decayed buckwheat straw
was used in m liking the experiment
Some buckw heat came up, but the
lawn hook speedily put it out OF the
way.
Having pre- AIRED the ground by cul
tivating pr perry in the spring, the
Fl st oi June Is early enough tor the
mulching the soil by that time being
suffic entity warm, aud the new canes
having obtained sufficient growth
Coarse grass, or the brakes and flags
OF swampy lands, VIII serve instead OF
straw, wheE that material cannot be
had. Mulchlng may also be applied
to strawberry vines and fruit trees,
with the same good effects. 1t is All
excellent preventive OF drouth, retain
ING moistu and answering, to grea,
extent, the purpose OF watering. In
the case OF fruit trees, it has the same
good effects as mellow culture.
The best manner OF applying it is
something as follows: For raspberries,
1t should be spread evenly over the
entire surt.ce OF the ground, and
should be allowed to lie undisturbed
For strawberries, it should be applied
between the rows, covering this space
completely, and when the frost comes
the covering should be made to include
the plants also. In the spring this
covering should be removed from the
plants, confined, as before, to the space
between the rows. For fruit trees,
the entire space around the trees in
clude.l within the or umterence OF the
branches and little beyond, should
be covered over. The mulching of
larger surface would be better yet. As
to the quantity ana depth OF the ma
terial applied there is need OF caution,
as too much will be likely to produce
diseases, in the shape OF tungoid
growth. etc II the mulch is OF a com
pact nature two inches depth will be
sufficient, AMI three shoald be the ex.
IRENE limit.
1t has been proven by the experience
OF well known fruit growers that trees
newly set, if properly mulchcd at the
time OF setting, seldom fail to live aud
thrive. w,thout ,catering, while OF those
not mulched,. the greater portion are
invariably lost.
Among the benefits secured by this
plan OF treatment, as stated by differ
ent truiigrowcrs, are 4 uniform tenn.
perature, continual moisture, the pre-
vcn,ion OF cracking OF fruit (the fruit
being free from nusightly spots, undo.
faced, and covered with bloom), AMI a !
great increase in yield It's trial, if
properly male in the opinion OF those
who have tried it, can hardly fail to
produce good results.
