MANY SOCIETIES IN DENMARK
Danish Cooperation Bears Distinctive
Begun In SMALL Way
Among Farmers and Peasants.

The general tendency that has
characterized agriculture In all Eu-
ropean countries during the last 30
years has been the abandonment Of
wheat growing in favor Of agricultural
products such as meat, bacon, pork,
butter, eggs and cheese. This has par
ticularly been the case In Denmark.
Compared with other countries, Dan
lsh cooperation bears distinctive
character; 1t began In a small way
among the farmers and peasants, but
numbers now among its adherents the
large landed proprietors. The coop
erative unions are due to private mi
tiative; there was no aid from the
state and the Importance assumed by
the movement has been and Is due to
cooperation In the truest sense OF
the word Only in respect to the So
cieties connected with control and
breeding has the state stepped In
with financial assistance, which in
1909 amounted to $4,000. The most
important agricultural cooperative or:
Plantations are.

some 300 feet long by ESQ wide, is surrounded
on three sides by terrace 10 to 10 feet hlgh.
The Interior sides of this are stepped SO that
standing In the center of the plaza the erect IS
that of a sunken court surrounded on all sldes
but one, with tiers of stone seats or pencnes.
The southern or open side Is occupied by
small pyramid about 20 feet high, which,
standing midway between the ends OF the ter
race, appears to inclose the area. This pyra-
mid because of Its central position with REFER
ence to the Great Plaza, must nave been q
much more important structure %than It's slze
would now seem to indicate. Standing on lts
summit and looking northward, great open
air auditorium lies at ones feet. I1er upon

and five great monumental states, posteu
like gigantic sentinels guarding Its sacred pre-
cints
This mound, so conspicuously located on the
open side Of the Great Plaza, attracted the at
tention of the English traveller and archaelol-
ogist, Mr.. A. P. Maudslay, who visited Copan
in 1885, spending several months there In pho
tograhping and making molds of the sculptures
and in studying the ruins He cleared lts
sides and excavated it. The summit, he says,
Is very small, and shows no signs OF any build
ing ever having stood there Digging through
the floor he sank shaft into the interior OF
the pyramid and found at a depth OF six feet
from the top an earthen pot which contained
several Jade beads, few pearls, jade SPIN
die whorl, perforated disk, and some roughly
carved pieces of pearl shell. The bottom OF
the pot was covered with some finely ground
cinnabar and several ounces OF quick silver.
Fragments of human bones were taken out
during the course Of these excavations ana,
finally, at depth of nine feet below the level
of the plain skeleton Of a jaguar was un-
covered
The use Of this pyramid without building
of any kind surmounting 1t must forever re-
main mystery. Perhaps here in full view OF the
assembled Inhabitants of the ancient city were
practiced the bloody rites of human sacrihec;
or perhaps the DEGREES of rules or the omens
from above We're handed down. VINO can say
now? One thing alone seems reasonably GER
tain; the close proximity and commanding
relation of this pyramid to such vast open
air auditorium as the Great Plaza indicates
that 1t formerly played some very important
part in the life Of Copan.
The most interesting feature OF the Great
Plaza, however, is not this pyramid, but the
great sculptured monuments, when are scat
tered here and there around the Enclosure. OF
these, five are now standing and three lie pros
trate They average not far from IL feet IN
height and are about 31a feet in breadth. The
general treatment Of them all is much the
same The side facing the plaza is uniformly
sculptured with the likeness of a human be-
ing sometimes of one sex and sometimes of
the other, carved In very high relief, winch, IN
places, amounts to sculpture IN the round. The
clothing and headdresses of these figures are
exceedingly ornate.

not have embraced one-fourth of the period OF
building activity at Copan.
Again, as we shall see, the hieroglyphic in
scriptions at Copan indicate that 1t was far
older than any of the Yucatan sites, and that
1t probably had been abandoned many years
before the rise Of the great northern cities.
Still another reason for doubling that Copan
was colonized from Yucatan arise when we ex-
anime the historical data bearing on each. All
the early writers, native as well as Spanish
with the exception of Palacio, above quoted,
pass oversthe great southern metropolis IN an
solute silence; but when they come to Describe
Yucatan nearly all Of them mention the TWO
largest OF the ancient cities there, Chichen
liza and Uxmal, and ia some instances even
give brief@outlnes of their history.
The striking absence OF tradition relat1ns
to such ali extensive site as Copan can only
indicate one thing-that it's fall and subse-
ouent desolation had outlived the memory OF
man eyen#at the time of the Spanish Conquest
in 1880, and generation later, when Palaclo
visited the place. it had been forgotten SO long
that he was unable to find out anything aooue

COOPERATION THAT IS BAD
Real Troubls 10 Lack Of Fixed Respor-
sibiiity: Books Not Properly Kept
and Accounts Not Audited.

One OF the dangers inherent in any
popular form OF government is the in
ane and utterly untenable idea that
things will somehow run themselves.
AS G potent example OF the danger or
this fallacy take the birth. the life,
and the too frequent death of the aver
age local cooperative movement.
The cooperative idea is a good one.
and as business principle 1t Is
sound. having been tested both by
time and by stress of everyday condi-
tons, says the Farm, Stock and Home.
A company is organized. officers cho-
sen. and manager selected. There
are friends enough to insure success.
The business runs along for time,
and then the doors are closed. No
one seems to know exactly where the
trouble is. Surmise and suspicion
breed anger. civil and possibly Grim
inal suits. and the end of the whole
business Is neighborhood hate.
The real trouble is lack of fixed re-
sponsibility. Books are not properly
kept, and accounts not audited. The
word Of the manager is taken where
it should not be accepted, in justice to
him. In order to save a few dollars
expense incurred by the presence Of q
competent outside auditor whose bust
ness Is to check waste rather than to
uncover irregularity, the manager and
the government board let exact ac-
counting go until at last the sheriff
steps in to stop proceedings. Perhaps
the executive board has done its blum
dering best with matter for which
its members have had no training, but
it inevitably follows that on its shouL
ders must fall the major share of the
blame for failure that it might have
prevented. The shareholders justly
feel that their interests have been be.
trayed through the business ineti.
cheney of those at the head Of the or
ganization. While this is largely true
the shareholder himself is RESPONSE
BILE for lack Of direct interest In the
management of the business. A Coz
operative enterprise that does not iss
sue statements Of detailed profit and
| loss to its shareholders Is on unsafe
| ground, and its affairs need looking
into. A cooperative business that Is
! not carefully audited by some outside
and competent authority is taking an
unwise risk. And finally. the share
holder who is a member OF a conn
pany where these things are left un-
| done after the matter is fully and
fairly called to the attention of those
in control, is exhibiting good bust
ness sense when he calls meeting OF
his fellow shareholders and takes
steps to insure the permaneney Of the
business and the safety Of the money
invested by establishing without ques-
ton the principle Of frequent detailed
reports and the proper auditing of the
/ books of the company.

MANY FAIRS HELD IN FALL
Should Be Given for Purposes OF AID
vancing Scientific Farming and
Advance Farm Interest.
~ 4, -. nzAD

Many agricultural fairs will be held
in the south this fall. Many Of the
fairs held will be nothing more than
a street carnival where the cry Of the
side-shoW man is mingled with the
cheers of the race track people. Such
amusements offer some recreation to
weary farm and city life, but such
fairs fail to fill the true purpose Of
the fair, namely, the advancement OF
scientific farming. Such fairs fail
to awaken interest in farm and In
farm life.
Every county ought to have first
class agricultural fair every fall Tt
ought to be held in the country or In
one of the small towns and be run ON
the order of a grand picnic for at
least one week. The farmers Of the
county should gather on the fair
grounds with the best stock on their
farms, the best corn, cotton, pump
kins, and so on. The best agricul-
tural speakers in the state should adj
dress the farmers on different sub
jects every day. Great good would
result from such fairs. AL
The counties and states should be
authorized by the legislature to offer
prizes for agricultural products Every
state and county can spend money to
good advantage by encouraging fairs.
Every farmer ought to attend at
least one fair this fall and show his
neighbors what kind of stock, cottops
corn and so on he raises on his farm.

Butter has gradually risen to first
place in Danish exports. In 1880 the
balance on the export side amounted
to 19s,425 hundredweight, increasing
to 7S5,710 hundredweight in 1890,
while during the past few years 1t has
reached 1851, 500 hundredweight. By
far the greater part OF this butter
goes to the United Kingdom. This Inn
portant Increase In the production Is
due to the increase In the number Of
cows used for milking purposes, which
was 100000 in 1881 and reached 1882
600 In 1900, and to the greater yield
of milk per COW, which in 1908 reach
ed 585 gallons, as compared with 450
gallons in 1898.

opment. At the very beginning Of our study
Of Copan We find ourselves confronted with
grave difficulty, namely, the entire absence of
aboriginal tradition concerning the place,
which consequently renders reconstruction
OF the historical background impossible In
sucatan we were able to piece together some
what Of the early history of the principal cities.
such as Chichen liza, and Uxmal, from the ac-
count OF native well as Spanish writer's,
many OF whom derived their information from
those well acquainted with the former history
OF the country. And while this information Is
often quite fragmentary, nevertheless 1t sheds
. very considerable light on the pre-Columbian
history Of these two northern sites, and In a
measure, at least, dispels that darkness ana
obscurity which so completely enshrouds al
most all the other great centers of the Maya
culture.
Concerning the former history of Copen.
however, we know absolutely nothing, except
ing the tradition of very doubtful value given
below. In 1867, or thereabout, Diego Garcia
de Palacio an official of the Audencia of Qua
.emala, visited these ruins and later described
tnem IN a letter to Philip H., the then King OF
spain. In this communication, after de-
serlpton of the different buildings, he says ne
ehdeavored to ascertain who the former IN
naotants of the city were:
! endeavored with all possible care to as
certain from the Indians, through the trad1-
IONS derived from the ancients, what people
nFed here, or what they knew or had heard
from their ancestors concerning them. But
taey had no books relating to their antiquities.
nor DO believe that in all this district there
Is more than one which | possess. They say
: taat In ancient times there came from Yucca
Il tan great lord, who built these ediflces, but
mat at the end Of some years he returned to
ms native country, leaving them entirely de-
serted''
Unfortunately, the reliability of this tradl-
uon is disproved by too many different hnes
y evidence to permit our accepting 1t. IN the
arst place, the structures of Copan are far too
numerous and massive TO have been bulit
Vithln the span Of a single life; and its Nelap-
olaleiy sculptured monuments are far too IN
pacate to have been carved in one generation
