At the recent meeting of the Ohio
state grange Financial Agent d. E.
Durham said that there had been
greater unity in support Of the trade
agreements than heretofore. AS usual,
there were few reports of instances
Of oranges being offered lower rates.
particularly on fertilizers, by local
agents. but when 1t was demonstrated
that such propositions are probably q
part Of general scheme to break up
grange support of trade arrangements
the complainants were satisfied. Over
sixty-eight tons of Irvine were bought
under the grange contract. Sales
amounted to $4,000 The trade in fer
filters amounted to S21 ,6S4 go on l, 400
tons-far short of that expected be-
cause of failure Of the company to be
able to supply all demands The wire
fence trade amounted to 10000 rods.
The seed business totaled $4,000, one
concern getting $1,13G of the business.
Mr.. Durham recommended milk pro-
ducers and wool growers associations;
also cooperation with the national
grange in working up national coop
srative department.

DoN'Ts.

Don't burn the litter from the pens.
It's very rash to make this ash when
on the garden 1t makes cash.
Don't let young turkeys have new
corn. New grain is oft a trouble maker
and brings the rooster undertaken.
Don't neglect to lay in clover or al
falfa. 1t may seem strange to feed
hens hay. but it's the stuff to make
them lay.
Don't wait till winter to lay In sup
plies. The busy bee works while
there's honey. Just copy him and
save your money.
Don't expect hens that have been on
range to do as well shut up unless
you make up by care and feed what
they lose by the change.
Don't feed moldy grain. A hungry
hen may eat such rot. but in the morn
Ing may be not. while you who sought
thus to save cash will find to feed old
rot is rash.

PAYING COOPERATION.
A Farmers Potato Exchange That Does
Business of $235,ooo on a Capt.
tai of $12.5oo and Makes Money.

In Suffolk county. y. Y, at River
head, is located the main office of the
Long Island Potato Exchange. an or
ganization controlled by GOO farmers.
mostly of that county. and it is a no.
table success. The exchange is officer
ed as follows: President, II. r. Tai
mage, Batting Hollow; vice president.
c. 4. Osborn. East Hampton; secre-
tary. W. r. Tanning. Riverhead: gen
eral manager and treasurer, +. E. En-
bree. Riverhead; sales manager. c. f..
Embree. Riverhead; executive board.
Ii. r. Talmage. w. Il. Tanning. Frank
Dimon. F. +. Embree and c. E. En-
bree. The exchange is not conducted
on a commission basis. but the man
ayers 60 into the open market and
buy and sell the same as any indie
pendent buyer does. and therefore they
take the risk involved in changes in
market prices.
G. E. Embree says that it has been
slow process to bring the association
up to its present standing, but the fig
ures show that now the exchange is
on a sound financial footing with a
surplus of $1,000 on hand. Last year
IL conducted business of $3.50
1886 on a capital of $4,000. The
items of the years transactions may
be of interest; Table potatoes. $780,
AT 40; fertilizer, SIS. 164S 50; feed, $26,-
1904; seed potatoes. $3,724.s2; -four,

and sacks, $3,7755G; seed, S2.214.O5;
oil and gasoline, $1.40007; miscellane-
Gus. $2.5l952.
During the year the exchange han
died but 154,052 bushels of potatoes.
This was less than the previous year.
but the manager pointed out that
there We're between 100000 and $780,
600 bushels less grown on Long Is
land last year than previously and
that the exchange percentage of ship
ment was about equal to previous
years. There We're 1900 tons OF fer

creased $1,000 over the previous year.

TnS Tvefnge "ann1laT assessment fo-
twelve years past has been S1.6O per
$1,000. The secret of the success of
this kind OF farm insurance is the
slight expense for operating the bust
hess. Other similar insurance compa-
MES in New York are those In Wayne
county. carrying SS,765,S 1927 in insur-
ance; the Herkimer County associa-
ton. $4.173, 429; Steuben and Living
ston Patrons Fire Relief association,
S4,035,0OO. The Jefferson and Lewis
County Patrons Relief association is
the greatest grange cooperative fire
insurance company in the United
States. 1t carries over $500 policies,
covering insurance to the amount Of
S15.234.7 36. and has over $4,000 in its
treasury. II has written nearly &C.
200 policies since its organization and
Insured over $3.50. 900 of farm prop
erty. Nearly every grange state has
these Patrons fire relief associations,
saving thousands Of dollars annually
to the insured.
The latest idea in cooperation seems
to have been adopted in Ohio, where
an entirely new plan of farmers buy
Ing and selling has been inaugurated
In Portage county. A large warehouse
has been erected at Ravenna. O.. at
cost of $4,000 The owner Is to get
4 per cent for the use of the building,
and he pays the taxes. The member
ship of the corporation has been linn
tied to 400 actual farmers, each one of
whom owns $50 worth of stock, which
entities him to one vote. He may own
more shares. but he can have but one
vote. He may sell his share to anoth-
err farmer. but only on the majority
vote of the company. The concern
pays no dividends. There are no sal
aries or commissions except the store
keeper, manager and helper. who draw
small pay. The executive committee
is also board of auditors and meet
each week. All goods are supplied
members at actual cost. and all sales
made return to the farmer the actu-
al amount of sales. 1t is in this way
stockholders get their dividends. buy
ing at reduced cost and selling at full
market prices. The produce of the
farmers is marketed without cost or
expense save the overhead charges
There is no credit given or asked in
this concern. Cash counts both in
and out. 1t seems that this plan is the
best yet devised for the farmer to real
lie the most possible from his produce
The plan has been carefully figured
out and promises great success.-Trib-
