Christiania. This battalion for boys
has become the model for thirty other
organizations OF the same kind. The
boys formerly drilled every Saturday
throughout the spring, marching into
the country, engaging in parades and
fighting sham battles with spirit and
precision worthy of regulars. In the
course Of the fifty years Of its exis-
tence, the nreggen archers battalion
has had membership of 10000 Many
of the early members are dead and
those living have scattered. Although
some still live in Norway the majority
are now in foreign lands, especially
America. Some of the most illustrious
Norwegians We're members OF this or
ganlzation during their boyhood days.
Among them are Premier Nicholson
and Councillor OF State Hagerup Bull.
The exercises were attended by thou
sands of people.

Copenhagen.

Annie 8. Beard, correspondent f)r
"The World of Today" writes In the
May issue as follows: Farmers in
Denmark have learned by experience
the practical value Of cooperation. So
great success have they made Of It
that farmers In other countries have
begun studying their methods, with the
purpose of inaugurating the system
among themselves. The Danish but
ter and egg cooperation society will
serve as n good example Of the work
done. The membership Of this organ
ization. numbers 10000 farmers. Fifty
butter made at these Is sent to the
headquarters Mt Esbievg. to be blended
and made Of uniform quality before It's
expectation to England; 100000
pounds of 1t are shipped every year
by this society. The farmers send in
every week their supplies of eggs, each
one bearing the name of the farmer,
the district and the date, so that bad
ones may be traced back to the send
ers. The first process the eggs under
go Is that Of testing. They are put on
perforated trays which are placed over
a strong electric light confined within
a wooden sink in a dark room. The
good are thus easily and quickly
separated by their brightness and
clearness from the bad, which are dull
and muddy. A fine is imposed for each
bad egg on the farmer who sends 1t.
The price is regulated by weight, not
by number, and Is paid weekly In ac-
cordance with the market rate In Lon
don or Copenhagen. To prevent a
glut in the market quantities Of eggs
are preserved In great watts Of lime and
water, having an alright covering Of
water glass. These are sold when
there Is scarcity and prices are good.
The farmer is thus saved from loss
uy having to sell when prices are low.
This particular organization has been
IN existence about ten years and has,
therefore, proved fits right to be. 1t
handles about $2,5O0,000 year, and
the business Is still growing. The
management Of these cooperative so
cieties Is entrusted to a chairman and
small committee, who give their
services for very small compensation,
and appoint skilled manager, who
transacts the business details. At the
end Of each year statement Of re-
ceipts and expenses Is made out, all
expenses are paid, including interest
on loan and depreciation and tho

MUCH EXAGGERATED
TOTAL LOSS IN MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN FOREST FIRES
ABOUT 100000.

Marinette, Wis, May 21.-All dan
ger from forest fires Is past. 1t is
raining and the wind has died out.
The loss everywhere is believed to
have been greatly exaggerated.
The A. Stephenson company at
Wells, Mich, was the heaviest loser
and its losses will not be more than
$4,000. Most Of the buildings de-
stroyed were Of frame construction
The saw mills destroyed were all
small ones. worth not more than from
$4,000 to $4,000. The total loss in
the burned area will not be more than
100000. The number OF settlers
burned out has also been greatly ex-
aggerated. Some papers have placed
It as high as 1000. Considering the
way In which the northern country Is
settled 1t is certain that not 500 have
been burned out and 1t Is probable
that the actual number who lost their
homes Is not more than 200 and 1t
may not reach that amount.
The most damage Is at Quinnesec,
Mich, large town which was de-
stroyed, but the fire there was not due
to a forest fire but to bonfire in the
rear of q livery stable. There are no
woods around Quinnesec.
