Cooperation in Farming.

In sufficient capital is the princi-
pal drawback 10 financial success on
the average American farm. II is
undoubtedly true that in no other oc-
cupation with a limited capital can
IN individual secure such IA degree of
Independence combined with the ne
ccssitics oflife us in tilling the soil,yet
few farmers are enabled to cultivate
thoroughly n sufficient number of
acres to make their business one of n
rcmuneratiye character. The cotton
spinner manufactures his goods with
a far smaller percentage of profit
Than accrues to the producer of corn,
meat and potatoes, yet il is the cnor-
nous aggregate of production in the
cotton mill, the outgrowth of heavy
capital, improved machinery and the
highest skill, that gives the annual
dividend. so with the merchant, u
certain amount of business must be
transacted to meet his current eX-
penses, after which profits are eX-
pected to increase in greater ratio.
Working with n limited capital
and producing such staples rs ro-
qulire whole seasons for their matur-
lly, the farmers gross receipts are
usually absorbed in farm and house.
hold expenses. lie has the founda-
ton of a much larger business, with
the same superintendent; he has
acres enough, buildings sufficient,
but he lacks the capital TO purchase
artificial fertilizers, improved ma
chlnery or blooded stock, hence his
mandatory of food must work on
short time,must only run long enough
10 meet the necessary outlay in get
tlng started, and must finally shut
down just when an additional pro-
duction would yield IL large margin
OF profit. II is plain to be seen that
II the cultivation of five acres will
Afford livelihood, the addition of
ten or twenty more, under proper
conditions would transform a bust
ness which Is II struggle for exist
ehce into one of satisfying returns.
Herein cooperation in farming
might do good service. Americans,
hurtured in the school of indcpend-
ence and individual effort, are wary
or any schemes that tend TO sink
their Individuality or that verge on

uustrious part of the community

members, yet in many departments

what ono of them might find inn
practicable if not impossible. For
the cultivation of an acre or two in
grass or corn, the purchase of $500
worth of improved machiues would
hardly be deemed advisable though
II could be plainly shown that by
their use the expenses of cultivation
might be reduced one-quarter or
one-third, yet the cooperation of
half dozen neighboring farmers in
the purchase of such labor-saving
machinery would be at once judic-
ious and economical.
Again, IL will be generally admit
ed that no farmer, however limited
in means, can afford TO breed or rear
coarse, unproductive, improbable
animals, be they cattle, horses, sheep
or swine, and yet the purchase or
service Of thoroughbred or superior
specimens of any Of these classes is
attended with an expense beyond
the reach of the ordinary farmer.
Any farmer, however, can easily af-
ford TO be one of q number to buy
even the choicest animals, under such

vide that his stock may receive the
benefit of the better breeding. These
thoughts are merely offered as n par
tial solution TO the vexed question of
how to increase the farmers capital
and capacity for increasing his pro-
ductions in value or quantity, and in
the hope that practical and thought
full men in all sections may give the
subject that attention which its i'm
portance demands. No plan appli-
cable to all cases can be given, though
some scheme of cooperation in GER
tain departments of farming would
seem to be within the reach of every
neighborhood that was thoroughly
convinced of its feasibility and use
