HOW ENGLISH FARMERS WORK
Many Co-Operative Societies Formed
In United Kingdom After Danish
Plan — Many Benefits.
Tint, benefit reported to be derived
by larnurs irum their co-operative so
c.etii-s in continental countries, espe-
cially Ijsnmark, has stimulated the
formation of like societies In the Uni-
ted Kingdom. Consul Frank W. .Ma-
tin of Nottingham says that many are
now ill operation, one of which he de-
scribes:
The Midland Farmers’ Co operative
association was torrned.in llKJG. It now j
has *1(11 members, covers the counties |
of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, j
and is extending Its operations In the |
country, one in Wales having IKK) and
one In Suffolk and vicinity 1,000 mem- I
hers. All are growing in membership *
and seem to be of substantial advan- j
tage to the farmers concerned.
The Midland association, through its
general office in Nottingham, disposes
of the products of its members' farms,
excepting the live stock. For instance,
a member sends samples of his grain
to the office. Officials keep themselves
informed as to the best markets and [
sell to the highest offer, by means of )
the samples. Similar methods are |
used with other products, A small
commission is charged by the general
office for its service, which charge is
believed to be less than the gain to
the farmer by dealing through the
well informed intermediary. The man-
ager of the association personally at-
tends the grain and cattle markets
held on stated days In the district, and
thus is always fully acquainted with
prices and conditions.
Through the general office the mem-
ber buys supplies for his farm—ma-
chinery, fertilizers, seeds, cakes for
stock food, oil, coal, etc.; not, how-
ever, groceries or other .amily com-
modities. The office Issues a monthly
price list, for members only, giving
the cost of the various articles deliv-
ered or at seaports. In the latter case
the freight charges from the seaports
to the principal towns in the district
are stated. All the prices are said to
be less than the member would be
charged If he individually bought the
supplies. In addition, the member is
assured that his purchases will always
be of the best quality and character.
Articles bought are sent by the seller
directly to the farmer. Any complaint
or dissatisfaction Is dealt with and the
cause removed, if possible, by a com-
mittee of the association. Members
are not required to buy through the
association..
The monthly price list contains, be-
sides the cost of supplies, suggestions
and Information regarding the best
farming^ devices and methods and
probable changes in prices and trade
conditions. The anual cash business
of the asociation is now about $125,000,
and has steadily increased each yean
The expenses are about three per cent,
of that amount. The Income from com-
missions and other sources paid five
per cent, dividend to tho shareholders

SUCCESS OF FARMERS’ UNION
President Barrett at St. Louis Converv
tion Tells of Big Increase In
Membership.
Our principles and our way of ap-|
plying them.must be* sound, for we
have increased from less Ilian fifty j
thousand membership six years ago to
a membership today rlsinp three mil-
lion. Throughout llie southern states
we arc well orgajn/ed. In the middle
west wo arc formally organized aud
our members are rapidly growing. This
year we have perfected organization
in several of the western and Pacific
slcpgvstates, end we shall soon invade
New England
In Ihe south, we have succeeded* In j
obtaining lor the farmer a reasonable
I *■ ice for hts t'uckhono fctitltntrt
That means, we have ministered in |
evtry phase of south'rn commerce,
that we lime laid (wry southerner
under obligations to us. for cotton Is
the financial barometer of the south-
ern states. In Ihe middle west we are
recording headway In handling, in a
scientific and equitable manner, wheat
and corn. In the far west we are ac-
complishing results in the systemati-
zing of the fruit industry and of gen
era 1 agricultural products.
The financial success of our pro
gram is important, but it is exceeded
by our moral and intellectual progress
and evolution, which Is reflected in llu
lot w ard stains of the American farmer
generally, for 1 hold that organization
among the farmers has inevitably
benefited every tiller of the soil in this
country, whether or not he is directly
affiliated wiili the organization.
I hrougti our national, slate and lo-
cal organizations we have been per-
sistently preaching scientific agricul-
ture. diversified agriculture, conserva-
tion ol soil resources, rotation of
ei ops.
We have encouraged In every state
more liberal measures for popular
education, insisting that the fathers
ftjld mothers of farm children should
make every sacrifice that their sons
and daughters might be better equip
ped for the word-tray than they w ere
t hemselves.
tine of our most signal triumphs,
and a tremendously significant one, is
our success in teaching interdepend-
ence, in illustrating and persuading
into being the vitalizing forces of co-
operation. liy nature the most inde-
pendent of individuals, holding him-
self aloot from his fellows, in love
| with his own opinion, jealous of undis-
puted command of his acres and re- |
| senting intrusion of new and strange
; ideas, he” Is gradually learning the value
i of abating these qualities in favor of
fo-operution.
He Is seeing that to the end of in-
troducing business means of market-
ing his crop, of tilling his soil and of
reaping the benefits of civilization, he
; must concede a little of that’old, slub-
I born independence, just as his neigh-
I bor conceded a little of his independ-
ence.
He is learning that united effort is
Invincible, while individual effort not
only fails Invariably to aid the indi-
vidual but that it may well work to
the prejudice of the interest of the
masses.
Our warehouse system In the south,
our warehouse and co-operative busi-
ness enterprises throughout the mid-
dle aqd far west, are revolutionizing
the viewpoint of the fanner. We have
proceded on the theory that farming
was as exact a profession as the law,
medicine or barter and trade, and that
only in the degree the farmer founded
hi dealings upon business principles
would he get away from the lost mo-
tion, the waste and the uncertainty
that formerly characterized his history
undSi the hit-and-miss system of farm-
ing.
Hut I think quite the most impor-
tant Indirect achievement of the Farm-
ers’ union is the success with which
we are inculcating the doctrine that
I every man Is, indeed, “his brother’s
| keeper.” We have not secured a uni-
versal observance of the doctrine, but
it is daily making more Impressive
I strides. And to those who would deal
with the farmer, who would lighten
the lot of the farmer, 1 commend the
idea that they must plan and execute
upon the basis of the mutuality of
human obligations.

“Bat” Nelson and “Uncle Joe”

(l L
xtr 3H1NGTON.—Battling
if ex-lightweight champion of
Nelson,
the
world, and "Uncle Joe” Cannon, who
Is something of a scrapper himself,
sparred a round In the speaker’s pri-
vate office recently, 'it wasn't such
a tame go at that, although largely
conversational.
Nelson and hik manager appeared
before the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce to op-
pose the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Walter 1. Smith of Iowa to pro-
hibit the exhibition of moving pic-
tures of prize fights and the publica-
tion by newspapers of the details of
pugilistic encounters. After Neison
had spoken his piece he left the com-
mittee room and was hurrying down
tho corridor toward the exit when
Representative Wagner of Pennsylva-
nia came chasing after him.
"Hey, Nelson,” he cried, "the speak-
er wants to see you.”
''You're on,” said Neison, and he
made tracks for the speaker's office.
He got a warm greeting. Uncle Joe
shook his hands, felt hts biceps and
slapped him on the hack. The exam-
ination was returned with Interest.
“Say,” suid Nelson to Mr. Cannon,
as he ran his hands over the speak-
er’s arms and shoulders and sized up
his height, "I thought you were a big
man, but you're only a little fellow."
Some of the group surrounding the
two Informed the fighter that the
speaker took his daily exercise and
always kept himself fit.
"I knew he was there on the train-
ing,” replied Nelson; "you can't fool
me about telling when a hoy Is In
shape.”
"Uncle Joe” grinned and put up his
hands in approved style He made a
few swift passes at the "Battler.”
“Philadelphia Jack O'Brien showed
me how to do this,” he said as Nelson
backed away laughingly.
"If you had begun boxing a fe"w
years ago, Mr. Cannon,” said Nelson,
"you would have made a better boxer
than a speaker—and you certainly are
some speaker.”
"Why," cried Uncle Joe, "that's
what I call a mighty pretty compli-
ment."
Before Nelson loft the capltol Uncle
Joe gave him an autographed photo-
graph and offered hlfn a eigar.
"Gee,” said Nelson, "Pm much
obliged for your map, Mr. Cannon;
but I never took a smoke or a drink
In my life.” __
"I’m happy,” rrpripd Mr. taurfbfU
gravely, as he bit the end off A pen’

THIS story has been floating around
1 the house in Washington. Nobody
offers to father It;
There was once a fiddler who was
ver^ precise In his statements. He
watn’t much of a fiddler, and he knew
It. Jt was not In his nature to claim
talent which he did not possess. One
night there was a dance. The commit-
fee couldn't get the regular muBic. So
they appealed to this fiddler. He said
he sure would play for them.
"Are you a first-class fiddler?" they
asked him.
"No," he admitted.
“Are you a second-class fiddler?”
“Well, no, I’m not even a second-
class fiddler.”
"Well, for gracious sakes, what are
you, then? Are you a fiddler at all?”
"I'm not a first-class fiddler,” said
the honest musician. “I’m not a sec-
ond-class fiddler even. But I stand
darned high In the third class!”
They took him on.
Walter Evans, correspondent of the
Kansas City Star, knows probably
more about Kansas politics than any
man alive. He thinks Kansas is one
of the greatest states in the Union.
“Speaking of fiddling,” he said, "I
knew four brothers once that went to
Kansas and took up four adjacent
quarter sections. Each built a mud
house on a corner of each section, so
that their homes were close together,
Then they proceeded to plant all four
sections with wheat. They didn’t get
a grain that year, because of the
drouth.
"They were up against It hard when
winter came. So two of the brothers
went to Mexico and worked ip the
mines. The other two stayed behind,
the miners sent them money to live
on. Next spring the two brothers re-
maining again sowed wheat They
had a bumper crop, and the miners
came home. Wheat was 'way up
then, and the brothers made a barrel
of money. Now they own land lp
Kansas till you can’t rest. They don’t
live In mud houses any more.
“Talk about fiddling; one of these
brothers, even after the bumper crop,
would ride to a dance at night, play
till morning and then ride home and
go to work. He got a dollar and a half
for his playing He didn't stand very
high In the third class, either.’’
