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

There are probably as many failures
In cooperative stores as In any otner
form Of cooperative endeavor. With
the cooperative live stock shipping as
sociations and cooperative creamer'es.
many items of cost are eliminated
which must be met in Independent ef'
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 inde-
pendent, are run. the following items
of cost must be met: Managers sal
airy, rent, insurance, taxes, clerk hire
depreciation of goods, fixtures. etc.
loss on credits, and incidental ex-
penses. About the only saving there
is in a cooperative store is the diner
ence between the managers salary
and the income expected by the inde-
pendent store owner who does the
same amount of business. For In
stance. in a general store doing $30''
900 worth of business in a year, an
independent owner would expect to
make from $4,000 to $4,000 a 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 III
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 q man buys 9
sack of feed at the store. the items OF
cost that he must cover are the whole
sale price of the feed in addition tc
the items mentioned above. II the
Wholesale price of the feed Is $40 pei
ton. it will probably make the cos'
per 100 pounds at least $3.50. II sew
eral farmers will arrange to use car
load of feed and will ask the loca
feedman to order 1t for them and VII
take the feed from the car when II
arrives and pay cash for 1t. the items
of rent, insurance. interest, loss OF
goods. handling. and loss in credits
will be entirely eliminated. The onl,
item of cost in addition to the mel
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 tn
transaction. Under such circum
stances feed can probably be obtain
ed for about $110 per 100 pounds.
The effort of all cooperative enter
prises should be to eliminate all un
necessary work and expense.

BOIL WORM IS NOT WEEvIl
Several Erroneous Reports Re0sro'ne
Cotton Pest Of south-Farmer
Can Insure Against Injury.

In many cases the cotton bollworm
has been confused with boil weevii.
and several erroneous reports ABOUT
the occurrence of that pest IN new
regions have thus become prevalent
The Bollworm IL the larva OF .
moth, and il only very distantly re-
lated to the weevil. which belongs 10
the large natural group Of beetles.
The worm when first Matched Is very
tiny. but grows rapidly. becoming
finally q little over an inch long. ana
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 30 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 ia to pick the cotton as
quickly as possible and Immediately
thereafter to plow and harrow the
fields. This work win 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.

The Brood Sow.

Among farmers the practice OF
breeding sows at an early age is too
common, and they are soon fattened
without finding out whether they are
prolific breeders and good mothers.
and another lot Of young sows are
used for breeding purposes. and In
most cases young boars are used on
these young .sows. When these things
are remembered 1t Is no wonder that
the litters are 30 small and the pigs
so weak. Keep a SOW long enough to
find out what she can do in the breed
ing pen; II she turns out to be'a good
one, keep her for several years; II
a poor one. get rid Of her, for farm
er can no more afford to keep poor
breeding sows than a dairyman can
afford to keep poor cows. In gen.
eral the aim should be to breed for
great prolificacy. more vigor and bet

HOW THE DANES COOPERATE

mated the Mlddleman.

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 a COW should be bought
to take her place.

Docking of Manhattan. Kan. Mr..
Docking has spent much time studying
European live stock methods and is a
firm believer in cooperation among

society on any product insures the
quality of it, Mr.. Docking said. The
Danes export large amounts of but

Of bacon back through the importers

control of the Wholesale market Of but

wanted what. In this country. would
be called a corner" The Danish
"coops" heard of this and Immediately
sent a man to England to do their sell
