Products I How It Is Done in Eui in America to th Farmer ana By MATTHEW (Copyright. irfH. Wcsi CO-OPERATIV Berlin, Germany.?The German farmer calls upon co-operation to sell him his supplies. He asks it to mar ket his eggs and his butter. It dis tils alcohol out of his potatoes and makes wine for him out of his fruit. Everywhere in Germany you will find co-operative elevators and warehouses for storing grain, co-operative soci eties for improving the breed of live stock, co-operative banks for furnish ing loans to members, co-operative in surance companies for insuring against every imaginable damage. Co- | operative societies are formed to meet the needs, of agriculture at every turn ?producing the raw material, convert ing the raw material into salable form, and placing the finished product upon the market. , ''Agricultural co-operative societies' have become so numerous in Germany as almost to jostle one another. There are at the present time more than 26, 000 of them." These are the words of Henry Wolff, the great authority upon agricultural co-operation, and we have found his statement true. These 26, 000 societies have nearly two and a half million membeis. Over half of these societies are credit associations, which have a working capital of over $400,000,000. Moreover, the number of societies and the humber of mem bers are constantly increasing. The German farmer who In his way is an individualist and as Independent as is the American farmer, has learned that co-operation is his salvation and be lieves in allying himself with hiB neigh bors for the common economic de fense. How German Farmer Co-operates. Everything the German farmer does he does co-operatively. If he wishes to purchase a farm he gets a 50 or 60 year loan from a Landschaften bank. When he finds it necessary to buy implements or live stock, or seeds, he uses money borrowed from a co-opera tive credit society, making short time loans. He gets his equipment of a co operative" store which furnishes him a guaranteed article at the lowest pos sible price. For when co-operation sells to the farmer, everything from garden seeds to threshing machines is guar anteed. If he wishes to insure his property he goes to a co-operative in surance company, which will insure his crops against loss by hail or wind; another co-operative insurance agency insures his house against fire, while another insures his live stock against sickness, accident, or legal destruc tion, following the discovery of tuber culosis or other contagious disease. His stock cattle come to him from a co-operative breeding farm. F. . co operative associations he gets his sci entific instructions as to the care of his cattle, as to the best feeds, as to the cure o< animal diseases, as to the valuation of crops, as to fertilizers. HIb milk and cream he takeB to a co operative creamery, from which it is sold co-operatively. His very hens lay co-operative eggs which within an hour after they are laid may bear the stamp of a co-operative organization. Even the farmer's wife has a ten dency toward co-operation and is as alive to its advantages as is the farm er himself. Everywhere we find the women intelligent and conducting their domestic affairs as scientifically as do the men their farms. Co-operative Education. The very education of the people is in part co-operative. During the win ter the local co-operative union gives them an opportunity to study the ad vantages of this system of organiza tion. Here for example is a sample of the schedule of subjects that will be brought up, lectured upon, and dis cussed at a winter session of the co operative union. (1) The history of co-operation, one hour; (2) The organization of co-op erative societies, one hour; (3) Credit societies and their organization, two hours; (4) Purchase and sales soci eties, two hours; (5) Co-operative so cieties of other kinds, one hour; (G) Social and economic questions, one uuur. And with characteristic German thoroughness, these subjects are taught, so that the farmer will not only know wnat to do, but will know why he does it. Good Farming Result of Co-operation. It is co-operation, too, which seems to have spurred the German farmer on to an effort for the highest possible excellence in every line. Henry Wolff says: "Fifty years behind our own. culture lagged miles behind our own. . . . Now, barring live stock breed ing, in which we still excel?German agriculture is undoubtedly ahead of ours. . . . For the moment: German agriculture leads.

It is co-operation which has brought about this remarkable change?mak ing men think, placing the use of busi ness skill and technical knowledge within the reach of the humblest among them, providing stimulating contact." Water Supply Companies. One form in which co-operation has evinced its efficiency in Germany is a rather unique one, and is one which at least in some parts of the United States is worthy of careful study by American farmers. Scattered through out Germany there are many co-opera tlve societies for supplying water to its members. There are in the prov ince of Hanover alone, for example, 35 such companies. Whether the commu nity has been large or small, these supply companies have generally suc ceeded. The advantages of co-operation in attacking the problem of water supply have been thus summarized: "By co operation a sufficient sum of money can be raised to enable a source of wa ter to be tapped, unquestionable as to purity, softness and quality; 2. Co operation ensures extreme economy in maintenance and management; 3. Co operation enables the smallest commu nity to provide itself with a really trnnri Tuntor oiinnlv " Ovv? " ?yi'V f It Is not impossible that there Is In this German experiencd a suggestion ' for the irrigation companies in western America, where mismanagement and graft seem to have prevailed. Cer tainly a truly co-operative association ganized upon the one man one vote plan, freed from all motives of exces- j slve or speculative profits, and man- ' aged with the efficiency that Is tradi tional In co-operative concerns could never have made shipwreck of so many fair prospects as have some of the irrigation companies in the west ern states. Plowing by Steam. I The owners of the big wheat farms in the northwestern parts of the United States might sit up and take notice of some of the co-operative power plow companies which are operating in Ger many. At present there are 46 such societies. The entire power equipment is owned by the society, and its mem bers, even though they occupy com paratively small farms, are by this means enabled to have the benefit of the improved and cheaper work of the power plow. Experience here shows that the power plowing plant, consist ing of a set of plows, tackle and steam or electric power, cannot be main tained economically unless it has something like 2,000 acres upon which to operate. The concerns are most care fully managed. A good machinist is always in charge of the outfit. In ad dition to his salary he is allowed a commission upon every acre plowed. He has entire charge of the operations and requires all members to remove all obstructions before work is under taken. The rates are carefully graded according to the soil,'the depth and the accessibility. In some cases, also, a less charge is made for plowing dur ing the slack periods, the price being raised as the demand for services of the equipment increases. Co-operative Automobiles. It is said that every well-to-do Amer ican farmer has an automobile. In Germany, where the acreage is small and the farmer has less capital to in vest in his equipment the farmer joins with his neighbor to purchase an auto raoDiie ana a large numDer or co-op erative motor societies have been formed. These machines, however, are not the touring cars and runabouts that are ordinarily used by the Ameri can farmer, but are the most prosaic utilitarian motor trucks which can j move immense quantities of produce over the hard level roads of the Ger man provinces. German scientists and inventors have with great ingenuity produced machinery that accomplishes with lit tle effort almost everything which in years past called for hard labor. The demand for power is consequently great and growing constantly. This has led to the organization of elec trical supply works in connection with other agricultural co-operative organ iVotiona r?f these there are which are purely co-operative, al though there are in Germany over 2,000 companies which furnish more or less electrical power to those inter ested in agricultural pursuits. Co-operative Societies Federated. The co-operative spirit has not ceased when it has led the farmer to co-operate with his neighbors to form a local co-operative concern. The Ger man genius for organization has led to a most elaborate system of co-or dination between the various local co operative associations. For example, all co-operative dairies within a prov ince will be united together in a cen tral association which unifies and har monizes the work of all the local or ganizations. These central provincial societies are in turn in an 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 centralization scheme has many advantages. It 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 lo cal concern. Without centralization German co-operation 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 co-operative or ganizations have become active. The results in dairying are fairly repre sentative. In Bradenburg tests were made in 1908 which covered the pro duction of over 1,000 cows. The av erage yield of milk per cow was found to be 2,661 kilograms, producing 95 kil ograms of butter, and netting a profit of 108.06 marks per cow. In 1910 the average yield had increased to 2,885 kilograms of milk, producing 101 kilo grams of butter, and netting 132.65 marks profit for each cow, an increase of 24.59 marks per cow, a matter of $5,000 on the 1,000 cows. German Co-operation Democratic. German co-operation 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 co-operative 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, nnas it self with undivided profits it 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 aB it were an addi tional price, which the patrons receive for their product All, too, are man aged upon the "one 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 aa the farmer with a thousand shares and a thousand cows. Co-operation is most emphatically democratic. Good Quality and Good Business. German co-operators themselves ascribe the success of their societies largely to good quality and good busi ness methods. The societies pride themselves upon the fact that their output is better than that of privately German Co-operative Elevator. owned plants. Their goods are in de mand, they say, not because they are co-operative 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 didatea spend time and money quali fying 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 ac counting systems are in vogue. Co-operative Credit. It is noticeable that in Germany there are more co-operative credit so cieties than marketing societies. More over, the average German enthusiast will tell you that cooperation natu rally begins with co-operative credit, rather than with co-operative market ing. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in America co-operative 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 ica. Germany has by high tariffs forced the consumer to depend upon domes tic production. The local demand for o!?v*r*ct Qt'oru fnrm nrnrinnf' PYP.PedS the I supply. As a result there are two buyers demanding butter, for example, when only enough butter for one is available. There are no long hauls, as in Amer ica, no long distance commission busi 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 co-cperative credit as more important than co-operative marketing with caution, since he has dealt with reversed conditions. We are firmly convinced, after a carePul survey, that at least in America, the more prosperous scheme of co-opera tive marketing is more important than co-operative credit i WOMEN FROM 45 to 55 TESTIFY To the Merit of Lydia E.Pink* ham's Vegetable Com pound during Change of Life.

GOLDEN TEXT?"Whosoever would Bave ills life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall And It." Matt. 16:25. While this discourse is recorded only by St. Luke, still there are many things mentioned here to which our Lord made reference on other occa sions. Last Sunday's Easter lesson made a break In the sequence of les sons we have been following, and shall follow for several succeeding Sundays. JDttUVlIlg U1B UU1H1 ruaiiocc B uuudo wherein he criticized both host and guests, "great multitudes" followed our LoVd. Turning, he uttered some of the severest and yet the most won derful words that ever fell from his lips, ab we shall see if we follow all of this part of our lesson series. Multitude Rebuked. I. A Caution, v. 26. On another oc casion, John 6:26, Jesus rebuked the multitude which followed him. This multitude who pressed about him did not realize what was involved in a true following. They were influenced by the psychology of the crowd, and did not count the cost Jesus does not mean that our discipleship will lessen our love for our kin (Eph. 6:25, 28-31; 6:1-4), but as compared with our love for him it is aversion. See Matt. 10:37; Phil. 3:7, 8; Ps. 73:25, 26.. Aver sion is to turn aside, and the Master told us that those who shall turn aside thus shall have an abundant reward, see Mark 10:28-30. Jesus Christ must be supreme in a Christain's affections. He who freely gave his own self (John 3:16, Phil. 2:8) has a right to demand a like devotion to himself, and as men have approached nearest to such a consecration he has exalted them. The Cross means the shame, sorrow, pain and death of self and all that lies in the pathway of loyalty and devo tion to bim. II Tim. 3:12, Acts 14:22. Our cross is that particular thing which crosses the path into which God is calling us. To avoid it that we may escape the shame is to be disloyal to him, "therefore ... he cannot be my disciple." This frequently costs much, but has an abundant reward, John 12:16. II. A Challange, w. 27-32. (1) The Instruction, v. 27. As If to make this caution more solemn, Jesus sets be fore the multitude the manner of his approaching death and the condition of dlscipleehlp. He here lays down the first declaration of the severe terms of diBCipleBhip, but explains the meaning of his words. There is a new meaning of this passage sug gested by the Revised Version of v. 33, "so likewise" is rendered, "so therefore." Our Lord does certainly Insist that those who build a tower or conduct a war must count the cost; so, likewise, they who follow him. But by this change the opposite thought is suggested, viz., that those who follow him must do so whatever the cost may be. (2) The illustrations, (a) The builder of a tower, w. 29, 30, and (b) The King at war, vv. 31, 32. Too often we present to. men what is to be gained Dy unristian aiscipietjnip. iyc gam does outweigh the cost, but as wise builders we must present the cost side of the transaction. The man who builds the tower is master of his own enterprise and the king need take coun sel but of himself. Our Lord as the Master Builder and the great King can build his towers or conduct his cam paigns only through workers and sol diers upon whom he can depend abso lutely. This throws light on the con necting "therefore" of verse 33. Homely Illustrations. III. The Conclusion, vv. 33-35. We have already Indicated the conclusion towards which Jesus was leading with terrific logic, and by looking back to the first verse of the lesson we see what it was he was seeking to impress upon the minds of the thoughtless multitude. Again the Master uses one of those homely illustrations gathered from the common experi ences of life which he employed so frequently to amplify or to drive home a great truth. There fliust be quality as well as devotion to this disciple ship. Salt preserves from corruption, froehflnfl orirl QU'PPt. seusuua ens. These qualities are referred to abundantly by Scriptural writers. Salt is highly prized in the East. The natural man is presented also as be ing corrupt, Gen. 6:11; 8:21; Ps. 14:2, 3; Eph. 2:1-3. The remedy for this is the active presence of his disciples among their fellows. The true dis ciple is like salt with a good savor. On the other hand, salt that has lost its savor is not even fit for a dung hill, but Is thrown out and trodden un der foot of men. So our Lord sets aside that disciple of his who has lost his usefulness. This expresses our Lord's contempt and scorn of those who lack, not merely a certain kind of character, but those whose profes sion and aDnearance would indicate a better expectation. Ears are made that we may hear; happy Is that man who has learned to listen to Jesus. This lesson presents the severity of the claims of Jesus. Irresistibly he drew the multitudes to himself. Wit ness the crowd following him as he leaves the l\ouse of the ruler. But he paused and by his teaching sifted them, and seemingly made it difficult to follow him. Those who would fol low must forsake all, and renounce all, even the tenderest of human ties, yea, even life itself must not be counted of value. There must be absolute un qualified loyalty. To bear a cross is to renounce ease and rights in the in terest of others. The disciple must empty himself and enter the life of fellowship and suffering with his Mas ter In his work of redeeming men and establishing the Kingdom. 4 I ' . J *.. _ . 1, The Jury's Action.
