COOPERATION IS PRACTICED
Although Initiated Into Finland but
Few Years Ago, II Has Reached
High Development.

Agricultural cooperation In Fin
land, although It was initiated but a
few years ago. has now reached a
high degree OF development This re-
suit is largely due to the work OF
propaganda and organization carried
out by the "Pelleryo" society. which
was founded in 1899 for this purpose
In Finland the cooperative society
extends Its operations to the most
varied branches OF the agricultural
industry. Some OF the more important
societies are those for dairy products.
In 1905 there we're $40 OF these socie-
ties. with more than $4,000 members.
who supplied the societies with g.
653.940 hectolitres OF milk. taken from
23s,O00 cows. There were l0.9l2.0OO
kegs OF butter sold, being Ss.5 per
cent. OF the total expectation OF but.
ter from Finland.
The cooperative credit societies are
carried on, on general lines. in accord.
ance with the principles Of the Raif.
feisen banks, and their business is al
most exclusively the supply OF small
sums to small farmers. In 1909 there
were 3s4 OF these funds. with $1,000
members, to whom loans were granted
for sum total Of 100000 ian average
of about $50 per member.
The local cooperative credit socie-
ties are all affiliated to central
bank, which was founded In 1902 and
carries on Its operations by means OF
loan Of 100000. granted to It by
the state and an additional annual
subsidy OF $4,000. II acts as a kind
of heart In the organism OF the Fin
land cooperative credit societies. sup.
plying capital to the small local socie.
ties, which have to submit to its con.
troll. In 1909, $40 cooperative socie-
ties out OF 34s Joined the Central In.
stitute, receiving 100000 in loans.
This Capitalization has been
brought about not only In connection
with the cooperative credit societies.
but also with the others. Thus. In ad.
dition to the Central bank OF which
we have spoken there Is the important
organization. the Hankkija, founded

purchase and sale Of agricultural re-
Quirements: the labor, constituted for
the same purpose. the Valio. which is
central organ for the sale OF the but.
ter produced by the local cooperative
societies, and finally the cooperative
distributive central. In 1909 the four
central societies (excluding the labor)
comprised S59 cooperative societies,
possessing a capital Of $l79,6OO. their
business for the year being $500. 900.
The cooperative societies In 1908

this truly great man has accomplished
for the liberties Of America, the gen.
erous inspirations which he impaired
to the French who were attracted to
his school of arms; the sublime act
which will ever add luster to his men,
ory, when, after having exerted his :
talents in giving liberty to his coun.
try, he voluntarily relinquished su-
preme power to conceal his glory in
the obscurity of private life."
Naturally, Napoleon was attracted
to the great general who led an army
of ragamuffins to victory, after long
campaign Of almost unparalleled vicis-
situdes, and whose power was attest
ed by the fact that none Of his gen.
erals, except Wayne, accomplished
much after they left him. When the
news of his death reached France, the
first consul issued the following or
der:
washington Is no more! That
great man fought against tyranny. He
firmly established the liberty Of his
country. His memory will ever be
dear to the French people, as 1t must
be to every friend Of freedom in two
worlds, and especially to the French
soldiers, who, like him and the Amer
leans. bravely fight for liberty and
equality. The first consul, in conse-
quence, orders that, for ten days
black crepe shall be suspended to all
the standards and flags Of the repub.
lic."
At almost the same time the Ca
zette de France said:
washington is dead! This news
in the time Of the directory 1t would
have been imprudent to announce.
Now, the heart may with confidence
abandon itself to all the generous
emotions Of the soul, and we may dare
to weep at the tomb of a great man.
A general funeral service has been or
dered in America, and this will be OBJ
served by the citizens Of every nation.
No period has sustained loss so ir.
reparable as the end Of the eighteenth
century"
This concluding sentence may be
taken as generally expressing the esti-
nation in which the great man was
held.

DEAL WITH ORGANIZED LABOR
Farm Workmen Claim Should Have
Uniform Work Day and Not Do
Chores Two Hours at Night.
(Dy W, d, LEUTZ,)


The labor unions are getting busy
forming unions Of farm workmen, and
1. may come to pass that the farmers
will have to deal with organized labor.
It is claimed that the farm workmen
ought to have uniform working day
and not be compelled to do chores
two hours In the evening after full
and a hard days work. There does
not seem to be as much interest In
the wages as In conditions. Wages
are pretty high now. It Is a fact that
In some parts Of the west good men
are getting $40 and $50 per month
and board.
II the unions could bring about
better understanding between EN-.
p!oyer and workman It would be
good thing. but It appears to me that
It will be pretty difficult to make
union Of unskilled workmen, widely
separated as they are. effective In
bringing about better conditions.
Farmers are bitterly opposed to the
idea and so far as can learn the
workmen are not enthusiastic over II.

sumer. What he wants to know Is
whether or not he had what he paid
for.
The suspected milk is stirred with a
spoon, in order to disseminate into
the whole liquid the cream which may
have come to the surface. Then one
volume Of milk Is poured into fifty
volumes Of water Zone fluid ounce

rimenter takes an ordinary drinking
glass with tolerably fiat and even
bottom, and holds It right above the
candle, at distance of about one
foot from 1t, so as to be able to see
the flame of the candle through the
bottom OF the glass. He then pours
Slowly and carefully the diluted milk
into the glass.
The flame becomes less and less
bright as the level Of the liquid rises
into the glass The fame Is soon re-
duced to a dull white spot. A little
more liquid, slowly added so as to
avoid pouring an excess, and the
flame becomes absolutely invisible.
All that remains to be done is to
measure the height Of the liquid in the
glass. this being most conveniently
ascertained by dipping into 1t strip
Of pasteboard and then measuring the
wet part. II should measure not over

good quality milk, diluted and tested
as stated, the depth will be about rs

OF 2 inches indicates either partially

And to this, also, may be attribut-
ed the additional fact that, Of all the

posterity has been inclined to dwarf
the stature Of Washington.
For time his biographers tried to
transform him into a saint. Obvious
ly impossible, this, because, above all
things else, he was man among men,
figure In his time which, 80 far as
obtained to his personality, was not
unlike that Of the late King Edward Of
England-prore to human weaknesses,
but at the same time gentleman Of
rare tact and dignity.
After 1t became apparent that Wash
ington was not saint, the trend Of
opinion was to consider him q re-
spectacle numskull, a creature Of cir
cumstances, who managed by luck
never to do the wrong thing. At the
same time, men who. in his day. took
minor parts were exalted into heroes
Of the first rank. largely because Of
their fondness for epigram and that
further weakness OF the general pub
lie, which would rather scent out a
hero OF It's own than acknowledge to
the greatness OF the obvious, outstand-
ing figure.
All OF which would indicate that the
time has about arrived when Wash
ington should be rescued from his
biographers.

ton. OF them, the first is the one
which has deprived him Of a great
deal Of the appreciation which has
been lavished on less deserving char.
acters.
Whatever the vices Of the man, they
were always held within respectable
restraint. Whatever his virtues. he
never gave them undue prominence.
So It Is that. after more than a
century. there has come tendency
to depreciate the ability Of the one
man who, more than any other. would
naturally be exalted. For long time
It was held that his fame was tar
nished because he swore real oaths
at the battle Of Monmouth. That wai
succeeded by the present epoch
which has chosen TO regard him as 9

sense not to make o fool Of himself
and. by a series Of events over which
he had no control. to become the IA
ther Of his country.
And yet 1t Is doubtful II another
character Of the age Is more to bt
admired for Its many-sided excellen
cies. As man, warrior and statesman
Washington yields to no figure Of hii
time.
What place Washington held, in his
own day. must now become a matter
Of interest. Shortly after his death
