man genius for organization has leo
to a most elaborate system of co-or-
dination between the various local CO.
operative associations. For example,
all cooperative diaries within a prov
ince will be united together in q CEN
trail association which unifies and har-
monies the work Of all the local or
CARNATIONS. These central provincial
societies are in turn in IN empire
wide federation with headquarters at
Berlin. You will therefore in that
city find several central concerns,
each of which is allied with hundreds
of local societies. This Capitalization
scheme has many advantages. 1t pro-
vides for supervision, inspection, and
audit which leads to good accounting
systems and good business methods.
The central office serves as a bureau
Of information and advice. In case of
marketing the central society, by rea-
son Of its size and financial resources,
gets into markets which would be al
together inaccessible to the little To-
cal concern. Without Capitalization
German cooperation would be much
less effective than it Is.
Increased Quantity.
Here in Germany, as elsewhere, CO.
operation has not only enabled the
farmer to make the most out Of what
he produces, but has increased the
quantity and improved the quality Of
the product itself. This has been true
in every line where cooperative or
CARNATIONS have become active. The
results in dairying r fairly repre-
sentative. In ~Bradenburg tests were
made in 1908 which covered the pro-
duction Of over 1000 COWS. The av-
erage yield of milk per GOV was found
to be 1851 Kilograms, producing 95 Kill
ograms of butter, and netting a profit
Of 10S.06 marks per COW. In 1910 the
average yield had increased to 1885
Kilograms Of milk, producing 101 kilo
grams of butter, and netting 1925
marks profit for each COW, an increase
of 24.59 marks per cow, q matter OF
$5,UUO on the l,uuu COVE.
German Cooperation Democratic.
German cooperation Is, to para
phrase the recognized formula for
democracy "of the members, by the
members, and for the members" No
body thinks of a German cooperative
society as organized for the purpose
of declaring dividends. The utmost
returns that those who hold shares
receive is a five or six per cent. profit.
If a creamery, for example, finds It.
self with undivided profits 1t does not
distribute them to the members In pro-
portion to the shares they hold, but
to the members who as patrons bring
in the milk and cream, and they go to
them in proportion to the quantity and
quality furnished by each. These
profits constitute as 1t were an add.
tional price, which the patrons receive
for their product. All, too, are man
aged upon the lone man one vote
plan. The member who holds only one
share and brings in the milk Of only
one cow has the same voting power as
the farmer with a thousand shares and
a thousand cows. Cooperation Is most
emphatically democratic.
. Good Quality and Good Business.
German c%o-operators themselves
ascribe the success Of their societies
largely to good quality and good bust
ness methods. The societies pride
themselves upon the fact that their
output is better than that Of privately

HUSBAND SPENT
EVERYTHING,
IN an Effort to Bring Wife's Tron
bles to End, and Finally
Succeeds.

Myra, Ky.-Mrs. Sarah Branham, OF
this town, gives out the following
statement for publication: Il am 81
years Of age, and suffered untold agony
with womanly troubles for IL years.
For Z years, I was all run down. and
was told that I could not live! MY
husband spent everything he had, but
I got only temporary relief.
A merchant recommended Carduis
the woman's tonic, to my husband
and he got mes bottles at one time.
I began taking 1t, and before the first
bottle was gone, I began to feel better.
1 took all Of the S bottles, and am
today as sound and well ais any
woman, and fat and hearty"
Such testimony as the above, which
Is given unsolicited, speaks for itself
Can't you see, lady reader, that you
are doing yourself, your family, your
friends, an Injustice by not, at least,
Tying Cardui, II you suffer from any

owned plants. Their goods are in de-
mand, they say, not because they are
cooperative goods, but because they
are good goods. The societies almost
without exception have required that
managers shall be skilled men with
both experience and training. These
positions pay good salaries, and can
didates spend time and money quail
flying themselves to hold them. AS
| a result these concerns are most busi-
nesslike in every particular. The
plants are efficient, the employers
competent, and most excellent &C.
counting systems are in vogue.
Cooperative Credit.
It Is noticeable that in Germany
there are more cooperative credit So
cieties than marketing societies. More
over, the average German enthusiast
will tell you that cooperation natu-
rally begins with cooperative credit,
rather than with cooperative market.
ing. It does not necessarily follow,
however, that in America cooperative
credit associations should precede CO.
| operative marketing. Conditions In
Germany differ greatly from those In
the United States.
In the first place, the privately
owned banking houses OF Germany did
not serve the German farmer even as
adequately as the American banker Is
now serving the American farmer.
In the second place, marketing In
| Germany presents practically none OF
the difficulties encountered in Amer
lea. Germany has by high tariffs forced
the to depend upon domes-
| tic production. The local demand for
almost every farm product exceeds the
! supply. AS a result there are two
buyers demanding butter, for example,
when only enough butter for NJ is
available.
There are no long hauls, as In Amer
lea, no long distance commission bust
ness. The producer more nearly meets
the consumer face to face and gets his
price. German marketing as compared
to American is direct, simple, and free
from complexities.
We must take the counsel of the
German who ranks cooperative credit
as more important than cooperative
marketing with caution, since he has
dealt with reversed conditions. We
are firmly convinced, after a careful
survey, that at least in America, the
more prosperous scheme of co-opera-
tive marketing Is more important than
