pany and the Cooperative Bacon
Company have had the benefit of CO.
operation with the dairy farmers who !
supplied a superior article of feed
based on experience and specializa-
tion. The market has been steady
and free from fluctuations which also
contributed materially to the fine
showing made by the Cooperative
Bacon Producers. The Danish con-
signments of bacon were heavy
enough to steady the market and ex-
ercise dominating influence in the
matter of prices.
This valuable feature of a strong
cooperative movement has been point
ed out in the history of the Swiss
Farmers Union in a former article.
Just as the cooperative movement
found its way to profit and avoidance

habitant. Today more than half the
entire production and distribution of
eggs is in the hands of a highly sue
cessful cooperative society known as
the "Dansk Andels Aegexport."
This society functions in much the
! same manner as other cooperative
bodies in the kingdom. 1t counts up
on the loyal cooperation of each mem
Der and a strict observance of all the
rules adopted, in return for which it
guarantees the best prices obtain
able. The society marks the eggs
furnished for distribution by the
members after a rigid test as ia
their quality and freshness. The eggs
are paid for by weight quite irres-
pective of numbers. Thus the pro
ductiOn of the larger and heavier eggs
! IS encouraged as well as the raising
J Of fowl that eXcels in laying quality
eggs. The cost of transportation, O1
the apparatus for testing and of the
: packing comes out of the treasury Of
the society.
The general benefits resulting from
/ this system of cooperation are too OBJ

There are the same phenomena as il

at the close Of the week at Mime
apolis at about 81 3-4c.
CORN: Receipts OF corn continued
heavy and according to trade reports
more than 6,5OO,0OO bushels were
received at the principal primary
markets. Mild weather over a good
part of the corn belt has somewhat
reduced feeding requirements in that
territory while the Southern and
Southwestern States have larger sup
plies of local feed than usual and are
how also beginning to have good pas
turage. There was some demand
from the Pacific coast and also from
the drought areas in western Kansas
and Nebraska, but demand at the
markets has not been sufficient to
absorb the current offerings. At the
close of the week No. 8 yellow corn
was selling at Chicago at 69c-7Oc per
bushel, with Nos. 4 and 5 selling at
&c to &c discount under these prices.

G61ac, at Kansas City at 7Oc-72c, and
at Denver at soc per bushel.
OATS: While the demand for oats
continued Of moderate volume for the

BISON RANGE ELK
PROSPER IN EAST
Only One Butchered and None i
Sold for Meat Purposes, Report.


Elk from the bison range west Of
Missoula shipped to Massachusetts
year ago have adapted themselves to
their eastern home and are in excel
lent condition, reports received from
visitors to the Jones' brothers estate
at MiddlebOrO say. But one of the
400 elk sent from Montana has been
killed and that by the owners for
home use.
More inquiries and orders for live
elk are now on hand than may be
filled in five years, the Jones broth
ers assert. They do not intend to
kill any Of the animals, except a few
surplus males. They are being used
for private game farms, for ZOOS and
are sent to institutions that are in
the market for live elk.
Information had been received here
that the purchasers were planning TO
xiii the elk transported east for meat
and many protests were sent to the
state, the biological survey and 9th
er authorities. However, it is said
that none Of the animals have been
butchered and that they are receiving
the best of care on their present
range.

EARLY APRIL is TIME
MISSOURI OPENS UP,
JOHN PIPAL REPORTS

Wolf Point.-The big thaw that
has been in progress during the last
week inspired one of the old timers,
John Pipal, who came to Wolf Point
in 1908, to weather "reminiscences.
He said that the earliest the Mis-
souri, ever broke up in the spring was
in 1910 when the ice went out in
March 10th. Another year the snow
all went off in February, but the riv-
er ice held until March "a. The av-
erage date for the river to open up
is April L. Another year Mr.. Pipal
told about, there was a very heavy
snow fall and when the ice came to
go out in the spring there was such
a large gorge formed that the river
changed its course and in three places
ran across the half mile flat between
the present site of Wolf Point and
OldtOwn.

especially bacon.
In all these fields the COOP
erative scheme has produced
results which were satisfac-
tory to the farmers. There
had been a steady growth in all the
branches named until within the last
six months. Dairy products, eggs
and live stock showed diminishing re-
turns while bacon alone continued on
the upward grade, gaining a substan-
cial increase. 1t is not believed by
unbiased and practical students of the
situation that this loss is due to any
inherent defect in the cooperative
scheme itself.
The causes generally assigned for
the decline in sales as just mention
ed are first the fluctuations of the
Danish exchange, always a serious
factor in export trade; second, the
recent appreciation of the Danish
crown which resulted in a general
falling of prices and a decreased cost
of living (more of the former than
of the latter) and third, the failure
of the Commercial Bank (Andels
Banken) in which agricultural inter
ests and especially the cooperative
J movements were more or less heavily
involved
The general industrial depression
followed by unemployment and heavy
grants to the unemployed by the so
cialist government have naturally
had the effects on agriculture as
well.
AS to the cooperative producing
and marketing of bacon, live stock
and eggs, it may be said that the
same factors which made the scheme
+ successful in the dairy line have oper
ated in the other branches. There il
the same insistence and concentra
ton on quality, insured by rigid test
conducted by the producers themselve
in their corporate capacity; ther,
were the same improvements in tn
breeding of pigs and poultry as ther
had been in the quality of the cows

Kissing was heard in a WASH

was at the Fox and those hissed
were prohibition agents destroy

self into pros and ants and
great fun was had from the COM

fully drubbed.
Let the kissing stop there. The
English sparrow is enough of

English hiss, sibilant of such
import in the English theater
that the Association of Gallery
First Nighters has endured since

ance is a turbulent one, for, let

strength as an ideal than as a

There has been much said and
written about the smile of Mona

But the smile of Mr.. Warmers
Christ was revealing. 1t showed
tender tolerance for human

Of cosmic laws about which hu-l

a restraint of power and by
