Cooperation.

From the Exponent
The modern idea Of cooperation seems
TO have originated with the famous cot
ton spinner Of Wales, Robert Owen.
The irst Of his writings appeared In
1916. He formulated o plan for the di-
vision OF profits which he put In prac'
tice with his own men in his cotton
spinning mills. Between 1880 and 1850
numerous cooperative enterprises were
launched in England, France and the
United States. Both productive and
distributivS cooperation had many
trials, but for the most part proved fail
ures. The productive enterprises have
usually Jared the worse, buttherS are q
few notable instances Of successful pro.
ductive cooperation.

The Duck Industry.

II is only within q comparatively few
years that the American public at large,
even in the Eastern states, hes become
awake to the Importance Of the poultry
interests. The large cities, which form
the principal market for poultry and
eggs, are growing larger every year, and
the hOuseksspers and restaurant keep

economical to purchase q frst-Clasg ar

o most important place in the poultry
business. The public appetite is fast
becoming educated to the fact that .

weeks old il not only q dish fit for an
epicure, but is far ahead Of either turkey,
chicken or goose. Mr.. James Rankin,
Of South Easton, Mass, some years ago
wrote:
"Ten years ago, when growing less
than l 800 ducks yearly, was obliged to
visit Che city markets personally and
tease the dealers to purchase my birds
in order to secure anything like salts
factory prices, Now, with q ranch ca
paCity OF nearly 10000 yearly, I cannot

There are several duck farms in Mas
sachusetts besides that Of Mr.. Rankin,

the tens Of thousands. There are also
farms on Long Island where theysRre

ing chickens, besides an average daily
shipment Of 245 dozen eggs.
The Atlantic duck ranch Of Mr.. A. J.

there would be pressing need for its OK
iatsnce At this time and FOR ell time.
You may oppose class legislation IL you
will, but there are times every calling or
profession needs certain Legislation,
either Of protective or Rfostering kind.
Certainly the farmers are no exception
to the rule. OF course no patriotic cit
izsn desires legislation 10 build up his
GLASS that will improve other Classeg,
and the farmers who have always been
the truest patriots have never asked or
desired any such laws. But the farm.
era do need legislation in their interests,
and it is absolutely certain they will
never obtain it through any party unless
they bring the influence Of q powerful
organization to bear upon their legials-
tors.
But there are other features Of the
Alliance that renders it's existence an
absolute necessity. That is, It's COOP
erativs and social features. II the far
mers Of this state would bind them
selves together In q strong cooperative
union, there is no telling what they
could accomplish. There Is a great
deal Of SelRshneas in this world. As Q
rule every class or profession looks to
ito own interests and is going to pro-
mote It's interests, even IL 1t has to
tEsmple upon the weaker and less pro-
tected professions. In other words, in
business the big lfiah swallow the little
ones whenever they can.
Now, the agricultural class ls the
most numerous and by ell odds the
strongest in the world when organized.
It is emphAtically the strongest, be-
cause all other Glasses, professions and
conditions Of men are absolutely de-
pendent upon the farmers for every
particle Of food and clothing they con-
sumo.
But when organized no class is 30
