CREDIT AND AGRICULTURE.
Something That Means Money to
Farmers.

From Farm and Fireside.
A vital difference exists between the
condition of farmers in this country and
farmers in various parts of Europe. One
of the reasons that American farmers
do not get as large share of the profits
of their business as they should lies in
the fact that they are not organized for
credit purposes. while the trusts which
handle the products of the farmers are
perfectly organized for credit purposes.
A system of cooperative rural credits
called the Raiffeisen system has grown
up in Germany to such an extent that
last year the peasant farmers of Ger
many did a cooperative banking bust
ness of over 81 ,6OO, 900, 600.
In the United States, so far as money
is concerned, finance and commerce are
organized and agriculture is unorganiZed,
thus paving the way for the trusts in
agricultural products. In Europe, on the
other hand, cooperative agricultural cred
it is so strongly organized that 1t makes
the cornering of the farmers products,
and consequently the debating of prices.
practical impossibility.
Why? Because the Raiffeisen system
OF cooperative banking enables the
European farmer to convert the poten-
tial dollars represented by his assets and
his character into available. mobile dol
lars. 1t is the mobile dollar which
counts. which is effective. The mobility
of its dollar renders the trust the active
and dominant factor in the United
States; the immoblity of the American
farmers potential dollar renders him the
passive and dependent factor.
And SO long as the American farmer
is a passive and dependent factor he
cannot hope to profit by the incomplete
cooperative methods he now employs.
Whatever economies these may produce
are neutralized SO long as he does not
free himself from the defect above in
dicated: they only serve as additional
sources Of revenue to be raked in by
that arch croupier. the trust.
OF course, 1t will be understood that
the success of cooperative banking as
sociations implies the adoption of legis-
lative measures which will render their
operation effective 1t also implies the
rigid exclusion of any untrustworthy or
unSound units

DANGEROUS FETISHES.
Death to Holders Of Shah's Daggers.
A Collar With Misfortune.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The Egyptians embalmed their dead for
the purpose of preserving the bodies for
the day of resurrection. placed 1900 years
ahead; hence the most terrible calamities
were to be visited upon the heads of any
irreverent enough to interfere in any
manner with the program. The case is
cited of the lid of a sarcophagus. now in
the British Museum, which has engraved
upon 1t the effigy of priestess of Amen
Ra. This was discovered in 1889 and
trouble began at once.
The five men who found the cover died
all within a short time of each other;
the men who transported it from its place
of discovery were likewise unfortunate
in various ways, while the servant who
took the object to the museum. the pho
tographer who was called in to take a
picture of it and the archeologist who
translated the inscription were one by
one overtaken by series of disasters.
The late Shah Of Persia possessed a
dagger which, according to tradition
would make invincible whoever concealed
it about his clothing, but if once used
the person using it would die by it, 1t
is said that this dagger is one of the
oldest in the orient and has been used"
but five times in history-always justify
ing the prophecy that it would likewise
cause the death of the user.
In 1906 business man in St. Peters
burg acquired at an auction sale a collar
for which he paid $4,000. 1t had been
made 12O years earlier by Partisan
jeweler at the order of the unfortunate
Louis XVI. Every member of the royal
, family who had worn this collar perished
in the French revolution, and the man
who first purchased it fed to Brussels
and sold it in that city to set money for
his sojourn in exile. subsequently it
changed ownership frequently, always
bringing misfortune to its possessor.
Finally il was sold to a Russian prince
for $2O.0UO, and he gave 1t to the dancer
Tzukki. The dancer lost her health and
was compelled to part with it and it
passed into the collection of Linievitch.
This man died suddenly at Monte Carlo,
and his heir lost the collar and every
thing else he possessed in play. The
man who then purchased the collar Gn
1906 lived in the greatest harmony with
his wife and family. but almost at once
developed acute maniS and ended by kill
ing his wife.
Similar cases may be cited, and aienists
attribute them to auto-suggeStlon or to
elf-hypnotism A young nobleman who
died in an automobile accident in Nice in
l90; had on his finger ring bearing the
inscription that at critical moment in
his life he would lose his head" He
did lose his head-oT his life-by becom-
ing confused at a moment when a;.Slight
turn 10 the right would have saved him.
One very surprising thing was some
years ago vouched for by M. Mace, at
one time at the head of the Paris po-
lice He said that at different times five
dead bodies had been brought to the
morgue each one of which had q ring
