The small farmer hnd to find his own mar- ket and battle for his own exclus- ivc interests."

But he soon suw the folly of depending on these agencies for his processing and marketing-agencies which kept the farmers inefficient and mutual- iy hostile.” These are words well worth our study.

In 1881 a. number of dissatisfied farmers organized u co-operativo creamery. (There are 1,398 such creamerles. with 189,250 members now.) They worked out u very simple plan which has been fol- lowed ever since. The highest auth- crlty in the. co-operative society W85 the general body o! members, who met twice a year, with special meetings if necessary. (The Eng- lish co-operatlvcs hold generul meetings quarterly: realizing bbai;

a year or a half year is too long n. period to allow of close supervis- ion.) Each member had one vote. Th;- general meeting elected a board of dirctors who in turn hired the crenmery manager-always an ex- pert. (The ' English co-opei-‘atives also elected a. committee throurh whose hands any applications for positions must pass-the manag" could “firs” but ha couldn't hire. This prevented nepotism. over- st-affing, etc, the bane of most so-r cleties.) All the members bound themselves to deliver all their milk to their own factory. except such as was needed at home. The next bye-law was a corkerl the liability was unlimitiad: each was individ- ually responsible for any debts! And this in face of the embattled away of all the processors and dis- tributersl But. it was an instance of that faith (in their frllow men) that. reinoveth mountains, and it worked. As the dairy was owned and op- erated by the farmers themselves. they took care to send their milk in good condition-and saw that their‘ neighbors did the same! The co-op. creamery butter was stand- ardized under government inspec- tion {and branded with the trade mark of the Lur (lyre) "Lur” but- ter commands the highest price. Naturally 1.1115 led to hog-raising as the whey was to be disposed of: this brought about‘ ctr-operative sluughterhouzes. ‘Phese paid for the weight of the dresred hog. while the private packers paid for the animal on the hoof. The practical result was that it was profitable to de- liver carefully fed hogs to the co-

operative slnught/er house, while in-

ferior animals went to private pflfikers_.who nevertheless paid a higher price. for obvious reasons. Thus it cam: about that "co-oper- ative hogs" became known us Q1181- iiy animals.

ANIMAL HIISBANDRY

.In turning our attention to the feeding of beef cattle we should always remember that our object ls to get our cattle in what. is called "111811 flesh" rather than slniply fattening them. In fattening cattle the fcmiatiori of fatty tissue is not the real object of feeding, or beef carcasses with on undue propor- tion of tnllow in them are not the most desirable. The object should be to turn cut a carcass of beef, juicy, well flavored. and of high nourishing qualities.

The lean meat of an animal con- sists of the muscular" parts cf its body find if L119 flniiflhl is pinup-g w»; do not actually mild to 11:2 amount; of its lean meat in feeding it for market. It is cify c: the formal grows that the quantity‘ of the li-mi moat is incrensecl. Buyers. there-

ifore. prefer cattle young cnoirgh to

be growing in the feed-lot and so ore not turning all the feed into futty tissue.

The lemi meat of cattle that um being fattened is. however, greatly improved by the fattening process, which causes fntiv/ tissue to be de- posited in the mirsculai- fibres. and in large quantities between the bundlcg of fibres which form the lean m-cat. This forcing of fat through the icon mcut. 0r through its muscular tissues, greatly im- proves, the quality of the loan meat. These deposits of fut loosen up the bundles of fibres. ranking them more tender. adding ilnvor to the lean mcnt. and rendviuzig it more digestible, as well as more palatable and nourishing.

When n shank or roast is ctiL 11ml we rec u plentiful suitably of white streaks making n marbling effect on the red merit, we know such meat is likely to be satisfactory to cat.

Since baby beef holds preference over all other it might be well to review briefly the methods followed by some very successful farmers. The man in mindnt present breeds his own cattle. feeds his own feed. and ha; the returns as revenue from his farm. He is probably not working on an ambitious scale, but; his plans are well worked n d

The author tells us that he has never heard o.’ the failure of a Dllnich oo-opefflative society; nor have I heard of on English society ceasing to exist. I think this is m; result of unwearied attention to the interests of the socie‘ by each and every membe _of it. some years ago-perhaps twenty-a con- sumer's tic-operative was running in this Province; but. it soon fell through. leaving o. lot of trouble in its wake.

Many gardeners attempt to grow brusscls sprouts each year with rather disappointing results, since this relative of the cubbuges likes moist cool air in which to do its growing.
