COOPERATION THAT IS BAD
Real Trouble Is Lack of Fixed Respon-
sibility; Roeks Net 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 a potent example of the danger of
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 a business principle it is
sound, having been tested both by
time and by stress Of everyday condi-
tions, 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 a 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
mai 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
1t should not be accepted, in justice to
him. In order to save a few dollars
expense incurred by the presence Of a
competent outside auditor whose busi-
! 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 a matter for which
its members have had no training, but
it inevitably follows that on it's shoul-
ders must fall the major share of the
blame for a failure that it might have
prevented. The shareholders justly
feel that their interests have been be-
trayed through the business inefii.

Rv w. / THOMASN

Unfortunately for farmers. the
standing of poultry breeder Is not
determined by the fat stock shows
and fairs, but by series of poultry
shows. These shows devoted to poul-
try should be to the advantage of poul-
try keepers, and they are a great ad-
vantage to fanciers.
The disadvantage to farmers lies
in this: The fancy is primarily a
sport on the same order as a horse
race. The interest in fancy fowl is
like the interest taken in a horse
race; in each case the high price
paid is due to the intensity of the
struggle for supremacy among the
owners and not at all to the intrinsic
value of the animals. When a race
horse sells for thousands of dollars,
it is because he can beat the other
fellows with long purses. When the

MANY SOCIETIES IN DENMARK
Danish Cooperation Bears Distinctive
Charscter-Beeun in Small Way
Among Farmers and Peasants.

The general tendency that has
characterized agriculture in all Eu-
ropean countries during the last 80
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
ish cooperation bears a distinctive
character; it began in 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 ini-
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 $136,OOO The most
important agricultural cooperative or

to decrease after a few years and be-
come less vigorous and harder to

OF course 1t would be impracticable
to attempt to establish separate
standards for fanciers and farmers,
but it seems to me that farmers would
do well to keep in mind that the FAN
cier as a sport produces fowls Just
as different from a purebred farmers

Butter has gradually risen to first
place in Danish exports. In 1880 the

while during the past few years 1t has
reached 1,767S20 hundredweight. BY
far the greater part Of this butter

MANY FAIRS HELD IN FALL
Should Be Given for Purposes of Ad-
vancing Scientific Farming and
Advance Farm Interest.
81 e. NJ azr3

Many agricultural fairs will be held
in the south this fall. Many of the
fairs held will be nothing more than
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
a 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 a first
class agricultural fair every fall. 1t
ought to be held in the country or in
one of the small towns and be run on
the order Of 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 ad-
dress the farmers on different sub
jects every day Great good would
result from such fairs.
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, cotton,
corn and 50 on he raises on his farm

maryels in beauty of pumage, and
pointed out those that had won firsts
in leading poultry shows. He showed
re four hens for which ne paid $1,000
the previous fall. They were Golden
Laced Wyandottes and had won first
and second hen, first and second pull
let, in the last state poultry show Of
Minnesota He said he would sell
them for a dollar each.
Right here lies the secret Of the
farmers difficulty with purebred
fowls-the reason why so many farm
ers who will breed from nothing but
registered stations still sticks to the
scrub cock. This fancier said that
the four hens mentioned above were
yalueless to him, because when bred
to a male of his own strain they pro
duced young in whose feathers the
black which should be confined to the
lacing was mixed up with the gold
center, where there should be no
black. As soon as new blood is in
troduced into a winning strain Of
fancy fowls, the fine points In color
are lost. In the game to win, fan
cier will sacrifice everything in the
way of utility for points; if he does
not he will not win in the leading
shows.
The fact that out-breeding always
proves fatal to fancy points makes
line breeding absolutely essential to
a successful fancier, He must breed
together fowls of the same blood or
lose the fine points upon which the
decision in the show room hangs.

The market term green duck, is Of
late innovation. The cogncmen is ap.

would be better, and should never be
