COOPERATION IN SELLING
mas been successful to limited extent. In the
sale OF hogs, 1Or instance, the farmers have
feaped some advantages. Formerly . semi-mid-

he collected drove, when he took them to
market. and sold them to the packer at an ad-
vance. The farmers now decline to sell to the
middleman. The Grange makes up Drove and
they are sold direct.-tne profit which the mid
Changers in proportion to the number OF pigs
contributed. Sometimes contracts have been
made In advance. prominent packer told Mr.
was offered few cents more per hundred, he
would ignore the contract made on his behalf by
the agent. The packers prediction was not verl-
ned. In all cases, the grangers ablded by the con-
tracts, to the great astOnshment OF the packer,
who was pleasantly disappointed, and announced
This experience gratifed the heads Of the order,
who were dubious about the experiment. They are
now satisfied that the farmers are rapidly acqur-
Ing the rudiments Of . business education, and
that commercial integrity and promptness will
soon supersede the loose and thrlftless manner
In which they have been accustomed to transact
their business. Much they conceive, has yet to

perfection. 1t will be q matter or time and pa

THE AGGREGATE RESULT OF COOPERATION.
Mr. Wilson estimates the amount saved to the
farmers Of Iowa through the instrumentality OF the
oranges, since January at from 1900, 600 to
81, 900 900, Mr.. Whitman regards this estimate as
too HIGH but has not statistics from which to make
exact statement. 1t Is Onehalf of that amount,
the saving has been enormous. Perhaps s., 1000 900
Is y fair estimate.
THE RAILROADS
refused to grant special rates on large quantities
OF freight consigned to the oranges which are not
railroad-pets by any means. When application for
rates made to the roads, 1t kindly received
and partially promised, but the promise was never
fulfilled. The railroads backed out, and now decline
10 grant any favors to the oranges, though other
large shippers are allowed reductions This makes
the oranges wrathy and does not diminish their
enmity to mOnOpOies.
