SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY,
Distance From England to
South Africa.

The capture of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal. South
Africa, the other day, has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra-
tory habits Of birds. From a number
and address stamped on the ring it
was discovered that the swallow was
one of 1,4S3 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
hinged" About three per cent. are
afterward noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest fight so far. A
black-headed gull ringed as a nesting
in Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
in February, 1912. in Flores. Azores.
A starting ringed in Berkshire in Jan
uary, 1912, reached Helsingfor. Fin
land, in April. A teal ringed in Stat
fordshire in the autumn of 1910, was
found at Dalarne, Sweden, July. 1911.

BANK SYSTEM FOR FARMERS
Under Raiffeison System AcricuItur-
lists Pool Their Interests and
Get Financial Status.

David Lubin, the California capt.
talist. who is Americas delegate to
the International Institute of Agri-
culture at Rome. believes strongly in
the European cooperative banking
system flor farmers in this country
as well as abroad He came from
Rome to speak to the Southern Com
mercial congress at Nashville on the
plan. setting it forth in very at
tractive form.
In Mr.. Lubin's judgment the
farmers principal grievance is that
outsiders control the marketing Of
his products because he is unable to
borrow money sufficient to finance
him and enable him to hold his
products himself. instead of letting
them GO for what he can get for
them and turning over to big bust
ness" the advantage OF holding them
and thus cornering markets or fix
ing prices. And the reason, he points
out. that the farmer Is unable to get
the money is that he lacks the proper
rating at the banks. Now, under the
'"Raiffeison system" as he describes
It in vogue for many years abroad.
farmers for miles around combine
their resources. pool their interests
and get a financial status and rating
on which they may borrow the
money they need at reasonable rates
of interest
How well the system might work
in the United States is debatable.
but this principle Of it really does
seem commendable. We have been
hearing a good deal about how the
middle man" and the big bust
ness" baron were usurping the fruits
of the farmers labor. Whether such
a system would tend to release the
farmer from their grasp trial OF 1t
would soon demonstrate. Yet as
whole. the lot and opportunity of the
American farmer are far ahead OF
those of the European.

Worth Trying.

Every village should have a club
room where the men and boys of the
place and the farms can meet their
companions. Such place would do
more to advance the cause of tenn
perance than any other one thing.
The sale on with its gilded bar and
cheerful fire and lights to snare and
rob boys of their money and character
would soon lose its charm if they had
a club room in which to meet their
friends and companions. People who
talk loudly against the saloon evil
might opeI up the easements of their
churches, provide good reading and
rest room, furnish coffee, papers and
books and run IN opposition to the sa-
loon. II eliJination fails meet the
saloon evil by direct competition.
