CO.Operation by Farmers.

Cooperation by Farmers.
A comprehensive plan for get
ting rid OF that much berated
creature, the "Mlddleman." has
been announced by the promoters
Of a movement embracing $4,000
farmers in Pennsylvania and New
York. They supply the New
York produce market. Plans for
a central receiving station and
cold storage, etc, are carefully
outlined. A convention just held
at Newburgh, N. Y, considered
throwing out the middleman from
the dairy trade, the producers to
sell directly through co-opera.
tive associations.
It's more than strange that
the American farmer has been so
slow to adopt co operative meth
DDS. A recent magazine article
tells how the Eastern Counties
Association of England sells for
So pounds seed mixtures that the
farmers had to pay 20 pounds
for outside. A farmer walked
into the Office of the Hereford
Society one day. He was afraid
that they had made mistake In
their remittance to him for pears.
They had gwen him % shillngs
per 100 weight, where previously
he had sold them for three shlll-
lngs.
La the Teme valley IN England,
co operative associations took up
the matter of transportation, and
got motor wagons started that
hauled freight for three shillings
a ton that previously had cost the
farmers five shllllngs.
France Is q great country for
cooperative work among farm
ers. There are 10000 members
of these societies in the province
OF Brittany alone. They buy
fertilizers, tools, and seed at low
rates, sell all products, secure
low rates for insurance, get more
favorable freight rates, etc.
The Anglo Saxon temperament
has a certain independence that
does not take kindly to co.opera-
ton. particularly among a class
of people having tendencies OF
isolation like farmers.
Our English cousins have slml
lar tendencies, although co oper-
atlve movements have made far
greater advance there than here.
But English experts feel that
British agriculture is falling be-
hind the Continent, because the
farmers don't CO operte any bet
ter.
The Consumer of course looks
askance at any movement to en-
able the producer to get higher
prices. lie need never fear. Nc
co operative farm association car
ever get any hold in competition
with the independent producer
until it beats out the Independent
producer on prices and quality.

SPECIAL FATTENlNe.
Give the Poultry a Special Finish
Before Marketing.

bcIOTc mdTNCtlH1'
A good many dollars are lost every
year by farmers because they send
their poultry to market in poor condi-
tion as regards flesh. On many farms
the practice Is to ship every winter
several crates Of live poultry, young
and old, and In most cases the specl'
mems sold are picked up off the range
and no attention is paid to the condl'
tlon OF flesh. The farmer can fatten
his poultry cheaper than any one else
under the sun and In most cases over
a pound of weight can be added TO
every fowl sold at n cost OF not more
than FIVE cents. The extra flesh added
would make the entire consignment
sell for one or two cents a pound
more than It otherwise would, at the
lowest estimate.
All the fowls that are to be sold
should be selected three weeks before
the time they are to be shipped and
placed in separate quarters, suggests
The Farmer. They should be given
reasonably sized pen indoors and
fair sized yard outside, where they
may exercise somewhat In fair wealth
er. They should be fed three times a
day, morning, noon and night. The
morning and noon feeds may consist
of one part corn meal, one part
ground oats with the hulls sifted out,
one part bran and third Of a part OF
high grade beef scraps. This may be
mixed with water or milk, though II
milk is used not quite so much beef
scraps will be needed. The night feed
should be of cracked corn. Fresh wa
ter should be given to drink and a
box OF grit and one Of charcoal should
be placed where the fowls can reach
It at any time. No more should be
fed at each meal than the birds will
eat up at one feed and any that Is
left over after 10 minutes should be
taken away and the feeding troughs
removed.
