COOPERATION IN OAIRYINe

tion. as my husband was manager OF
a cooperative creamery In Denmark
for years.
Some thirty years ago Denmark
faced a situation similar to that the
South does today. As the southern
farmer mainly depends on his cotton
crop, SO did the Danish farmer de-
pend on his crop of grain; but when
America began to export corn to Eu-

ished by the constant growing of
grain. and there were no other natu.
raj resources for industry.
In this time OF distress the idea OF
co-operation-already tried for years
in Great Britain in the form OF co.
operative stores-occurred to some
clear-sighted men, as their very sal.
vation.
As a natural result of the failing
grain market. the farmers turned to
dairying. each one making the best
possible out of his own little bust.
ness; but when the idea of co-opera-
tion In dairying was agitated among
the farmers. they began to see that
unity gives strength. and some of
them took courage to try.
In 1882 the first cooperative cream
cry was opened. and tooay there are
nearly 1900 handling the milk of at
least 100000 cows.
Now could not we take up that idea
of cooperation in dairying?
In the northern states 1t has proved
success. More cattle will enrich
our SOIL the production OF butter and
pork will give money all the year
round. We know there is no risk in
producing butter and pork, as those
articles always are In good demand.

soft corn will put nearly as much fat
on cattle as grain that is sound One
wet season my entire corn crop was
badly matured and nearly all OF 1t
was soft. I could not afford to throw
It away and buy sound corn, SO
filled the silo with It and then fed the
rest out of shock before I began on
the silage. had about one hundred
feeders that season and the way they
put on flesh was caution. believe
too. that some of the experiments

planted last year by the side of COM
mon stock, or seed which had been
grown in the ordinary way. There
are "a tenth-acre plots In each series
Of the three-year rotation. potatoes
wheat-clover The plots are 272 feet
long and 16 feet wide. which permits
five rows Of potatoes in each plot. The
first three rows in each plot were
planted with seed tubers from the
July planted stock and the other two
with the ordinary seed. This method
precluded the possibility of any un-
equal effect upon the various plots by
using two lots of seed.
The potatoes were all the same va
riety and were all planted the same
day. The plants grown from July
sun-sprouted seed appeared nearly
two weeks in advance OF the others
and maintained quite noticeable dif-
ference until they were of large size.
In fact SO noticeable was the differ
ence in the vigor and increased size
Of the plants that the casual observer
would stop and remark and the mere
interested one would inquire into the
details of the method. Many thought
that the two parts of the plots were
planted at different dates or possibly
were Of different varieties. Let It be
understood that this particular seed
was not sprouted but that the crop
was raised from sprouted seed. which
had been planted the first OF July the
year previous. The season was not a
good one, serious inroads being made
by the fusarium wilt, which seriously
impaired the results, but an increased
yield and higher per cent of germina.

plats, In favor OF the sun-sprouted
seed. The total average results are
as follows: Late grown number Of

mination): common seed, 1913; late
grown faverage yield Of pounds per
row): 1854; common. 64.6.
A half bushel Of potatoes raised
from sprouted seed were placed in q
closed box in the storage room beside
a half bushel raised by the ordinary
method placed in a similar closed box.
A half bushel Of the same were placed
In closed boxes and set in the green.

In both cases the July planted pota-
toes kept much firmer and were much
slower to sprout than the others.

While 1t is impossible to preserve
seed potatoes in good condition in a
storage which combines a too high
degree OF temperature with darkness,
semldarkness or even slightly sub
dued light, it Is quite possible to keep
them for several weeks. in late spring
or early summer. when they are
spread thinly on the floor Of bright
sunny room. After danger OF freezing
weather is past they are even better
placed out of doors in the direct sun
shine. A series of shelves arranged
one above another on the southern
exposure Of the dwelling or a farm
building provides an excellent place
for sun sprouting. The tubers are
spread in single layers on the shelves
and allowed to remain until wanted
for planting. Exposed to the full
force Of the suns rays the tubers, in
stead Of sending out long. white. ten
der succulent sprouts as in poorly
lighted storage. become hardened in
flesh and green In color, and very
short, stubby. firm. green sprouts are
developed by the eyes. Withering Of
the tubers is but slight as compared
with that under conditions found In
4 warm, dark storage, and they will
femain in the sunlight many weeks in
good condition for planting.
Tubers may be exposed to the sun
fight for several weeks-from four to
fen weeks. and they will sprout splen-
didly. Such tubers when cut one
sprout to piece and planted. send up
strong plants in a surprisingly short
time. It is hardly profitable to sun
sprout large tubers for planting. as
not all Of the eyes will develop sprouts
and considerable waste will result.
However. the plan is excellent when
smaller tubers are used and planted
without cutting. So firm and tough
become the hard. short. sturdy sprouts
developed In the sun. that planting
may be done with certain horse
power machines without injury to the
seed tubers II not too many are placed
In the planter at time. Planting Of
sun-sprouted seed Is often delayed as
late as the early part Of July with
excellent results In the production Of
fine quality of seed stock for the fol-
lowing year.
The results Of careful experiments
with sun-sprouted and common seed
potatoes chow a decided advantage In
favor of the former. Stock which had

COMMON SENSE IN
CARING FOR SWINE
Breeders Disagree on Age at

Litter Carefully.
fRy R. g. wEATHERsToNE.)

iBy II. u. WEATHERSTONE.)
There is q great difference in opin-
ion among farmers-and good farm
ers at that-as to the age at which
sows should be bred. Some men breed
gifts at ten or eleven months, while
others do not bred until they are two
years old.
Some farmers claim that a SOW
should not be bred after she is four
years old. as she is then apt to kill
her pigs by lying on them. This
trouble 10 generally due to the SOW
being too fat rather than her age.
Never select brood SOW with long.
lean, narrow head and wicked little
eyes. She Is apt to be nervous and
cross and a pig eater. It is . good
plan to feed little grain to the grow
ing pigs even though they are run
ming on good pasture.
sftal the South many hog raisers turn
- young hogs out into the swamps
bng the rivers and creeks and pay
no attention to them during the en-
tire summer. rounding them up In the
fall only to feed them two or three
weeks before shipping them to mar
ket Some surprisingly good results
are obtained In this way. too.
Sows with young litter should be
watched carefully. for there are many
sows who do not give enough milk to
start the pigs of well. In such cases
the youngsters should be fed a little

skim milk with a handful of shorts
