HOW THE DANES COOPERATE
College Visitor Describes Systems Of
Denmark Farmers-Have ELM
mated the MiddIeman.

The farmers of Denmark have the
most complete and elaborate system
Of cooperative associations in the
world. They have both buying and
selling organizations. They also
have cow-testing associations whose
representatives, besides testing the
cows milk twice a month, advise the
COW owner as to what the COW, should
be fed, when she should be sold, and
what kind of COW should be bought
to take her place.
How farming Is done In Denmark
was told to class in beef production
at the Kansas Agricultural college re-
Gently in an interesting talk by Alfred
Docking of Manhattan, Kan. Mr..
Docking has spent much time studying
European live stock methods and Is
firm believer in cooperation among
farmers.
The mark of Danish cooperative
society on any product insures the
quality of it, Mr.. Docking said. The
Danes export large amounts Of but
ter, bacon and eggs to England.
They have a very complete system Of
keeping account of their product. II
a British housewife were to find that
a side of Danish bacon was deficient
in any way, from the stamp on it 1t
would be possible to trace that piece
Of bacon back through the importers,
who are also agents Of Danish
"coops," and they would be able to
locate the packers that cured the
meat, the farm that grew the hog, and
find what the hog had to eat and its
breeding.
At one time, Mr.. Docking said,
group of Englishmen attempted to gain
control of the wholesale market of but
ter, bacon and eggs in London. They
wanted what, in this country. would
be called corner" The Danish
"coops" heard of this and Immediately
sent a man to England to do their SELL
ing, and now they control this market
and have eliminated the middlemen.

NOT A SENTIMENTAL SPEECH
Central Figure in Moving Pictures
Had Much More important Mat
ter on His Mind.

Lieut.. John II. Towers of the United
States navy is the man who miracu-
lously escaped death last summer
when he fell 1000 feet with an aero
plane into the waters of Chesapeake
bay. He is also the man who played
the part of ardent young lover in the
department some time ago-pictures
moving pictures produced by the navy
for which $4,000 worth of powder was
used and seven warships employed in
a great battle scene.
In the picture, the young hero. the
naval officer. comes upon the scene to
bid a tragic farewell to his lovely
sweetheart. His lips move slowly and
with effort. The girl looks up at him
in sadness. 1t is easy to imagine the
tender words from his lips.
According to those who saw the pic
lures made. what he actually did say
at this junction was:
Let's hurry and get this over, and
go out for something to eat. I'm
starved. Magazine.

SAVE BY COOPERATIVE PLAN
With Many Associations Several Items
Of Cost Are Eliminated-Stores
Are Run Alike.

There are probably as many failures
In cooperative stores as in any other
form Of cooperative endeavor. With
the cooperative live stock shipping as
socfations and cooperative creameries,
many items of cost are eliminated
which must be met in independent eff
forts to conduct the same business.
while the cooperative store is usually
run along just the same lines that the
independent store is run; that is, there
Is little or no saving In the system Of
doing business, writes A. d. Wilson.
superintendent of the Minnesota
Farmers institutes, in the Farmer AS
stores, both cooperative and indie
pendent, are run, the following items
OF cost must be met: Managers sal
depreciation of goods, fixtures, etc.
loss on credits, and incidental en-
penses. About the only saving there
Is III cooperative store is the differ
ence between the managers salary
and the income expected by the indie
same amount of business. For in
stance, in a general store doing $780,
600 worth of business in year, an
independent owner would expect TO
make from $4,000 10 $4,000 year,
while the directors of a cooperative
store will expect to pay a manager
from $1,000 to $4,000. The difference
in the managers salary would be about
the only saving that could be expect
ed. This would amount to about 10
per cent. of the total business done,
which is about the saving that the
more successful cooperative stores
are making.
The greatest saving by cooperative
buying can be realized only when the
purchasers get together and plaN to
reduce the cost of handling goods.
This point is we'll Illustrated in the
case of feed. When a man buys a
sack of feed at the store, the items or
cost that he must cover are the whole
sale price OF the feed in addition to
the items mentioned above. If the
ton. it will probably make the cost
per 100 pounds at least $3.50. II sew
eral farmers will arrange to use car
load Of feed and will ask the local
feedman to order it for them and will
take the feed from the car when 1t
arrives and pay cash for it, the items
of rent, insurance, interest, loss on
goods, handling, and loss in credits.
will be entirely eliminated. The only
item Of cost in addition to the net
cost of the goods laid down will be
very small amount of work in order
ing the goods and the cost of the nee
essary bookkeeping TO take care OF the
transaction. Under such circum-
stances feed can probably be obtain
ed for about s1.10 per 100 pounds.
The effort Of all cooperative enter
prises should be to eliminate all un-
necessary work and expense.

BOIL WORM IS NOT WEEVll
Several Erroneous Reports Regarding
Cotton Pest Of South-Farmer
Can Insure Against Injury.

In many cases the cotton bollworm
has been confused with boil weevil.
and several erroneous reports about
the occurrence of that pest In new
regions have thus become prevalent
The Bollworm Is the larva OF
moth, and Is only very distantly re-
lated to the weevil, which belongs TO
the large natural group Of beetles.
The worm when first Matched Is very
tiny, but grows rapidly, becoming
finally a little over an inch long, and
greenish or brownish in color. The
weevil grub is white and found only
within the cotton square or boil. 1t
never exceeds one-half inch in length.
In the case of the present out
break the injury began so late. In the
season that little can be- done to pro-
tect the present crop. Nevertheless.
farmer can insure the crop OF the
coming season against injury by the
pest with comparatively little trouble
and expense. The action that should
be taken wherever injury has occurred
this year is to pick the cotton as
quickly as possible and Immediately
thereafter to pillow and harrow the
fields. This work will result in the
destruction Of the immature stages OF
the worm which have passed just be-
meath the surface of the soil. In addi-
ton to the effect in destroying the
insect the blowing and narrowing OF
the fields will have very great value
in the way of preparing for the crop
of the following season.

Testimonial From High Authority

Mrs. B. L. Wilson Of Nashville, Tenn,
Is famed the world over for her won-
derfully delicious cakes. They are
shipped to all parts OF the globe for spe-
cial affairs where the best of cakes are
demanded.
Mrs. Wilson has the distinction of
baking Christmas cakes for the Presi-
dents, in which she uses Calumet Bak-
ing Powder.
She states:
ITO have complete success, with no
failures care should be used in the selec-
ton of Baking Powder"
Calumet is complimented with the fol-
lowing testimonial from her:
Some little time ago l made a careful
study and investigation of the baking
powder subject and l feel fully repaid. l
am firmly convinced from the results l
have received that there is no baking pow
der to equal Calumet for wholesOmeness
and economy and l also recommend Calu-
met Baking Powder for its never falling
results"
Calumet also received the Highest
Awards at the Worlds Pure Food Expo
stion. Chicago: Grand Prize and Gold
Medal, Paris Exposition. 1912
This will. without a doubt, prove inter-
exiting and very gratifying to the friends
and customers of Calumet Baking Pow
der. II has always been found that Calu-
met is economical to use.-Adv.
