sible to one type, and that the bacon
type. The bacon is all exported; the
offal, such as sausage, backbones, spare
ribs, etc., being sold to the villagers in
that densely populated country or to
the farmers themselves.
There are no great packing estab-
Hshments running in competition with
these cooperative factories to which
favoritism is show as it is in this
country by those who control the high
ways; or, In other words, by the rail-
road companies. The product is sold
by cooperation between these factor
les. Insurance is carried in the same
way.
The egg business which is a very
important n in Denmark, is handled
by these same factories, so there is a
wonderful system of cooperation in
various lines built up among a people
largely homogeneous, or similar In
character, in taste, and in habits of
thought, all belonging to one race, fol-
lowing n line of business, n in
spired by the success that has followed
their cooperation in creamery lines /.
The time. therefore. for cooperative
pork packing establishments in the
United States is a good piece off, but 1t
may come to a limited extent possibly
sooner than we think for. Not, how
ever, as we think, in the corn and grass
states, but possibly in the alfalfa sec
ions in the further west, in the wheat
growing sections of the north, or in
the dairy sections OF Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
IN these sections the bacon hog of the
future will be grown, furnishing a very
superior article that can command a
higher price than any product OF the
present establishments.

recommended for this use was the So
called Missouri Split Log Drag
which. since it has been widely intro.

called the King drag. The accompany

is used, building up the crown by all
most i~mperceptible degrees until the

FARMERS PACK THEIR PORK.

There are twenty-nine cooperative
AGO curing establishments in Den
mark, others in progress of organlza-
ton, and there has been but one case
of failure, and that because there was
not sufficient pigs grown within reach
to furnish the raw material, writes
Professor Kennedy, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college. None of these fac
tories were promoted in the way
creameries and sometimes elevator
companies and grange stores la been
promoted. in this country. In fact, the
promoter seems to be a purely Ameri-
can product, a product, we might re-
mark, not creditable to the United
States nor to the Intelligence of its
people.
There are two things essential to
success in cooperative bacon packing
in that country-first a plentiful supply
OF pigs or the raw material; second,
security for the loans. Every stock
holder must guarantee the delivery Of
the number of pigs he promises. If not
he is fined. The territory required for
the establishment of a factory capable
of handling from thirty to fifty thou
and pigs a year, has a radius of six
teen miles; we should say about the
size of two of our smaller western
counties. These pigs must be delivered
throughout the year. The capital re-
quired is from $4,000 to $4,000 which
is on the notes or obligations of the
farmers to the banks on twenty-five
years time with a stipulated rate of
interest and from o~ne-fourth to one-
