It is true that nature and a woman's work nas produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind o i-omo/^Tr fnr thoir rwnlinr ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is recognized from eoast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health?many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has paved them from surgical operations. j Constipation Vanishes Forever Prompt Relief?Permanent Cure I CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS never i fail.

CoOperai Products I How It Is Done in Eui in America to th Farmer and L, By MATTHEW l Copyright. lan. Wcat I - * ' ' -q Where Fifty Thousand Belgi EUROPE'S CO-OPI Copenhagen, Denmark. ? Co-opera tive enterprises have revolutionized agricultural Europe and now dominate the rural life of the entire continent Without co-operation the Belgian would not be the efficient agricultur ist which he iB; Germany would not have developed its agricultural possi bilities to the point where its home grown food supply is so nearly self sufficient: Denmark would not be ex porting sixty million doirars worth of the best dairy products in the world; Ireland would not be facing the future with a hopefulness to which she has been a stranger ever since her lands were confiscated as a result of the early wars. Belgium has 2300 rural organiza tions representing a membership of 500,000. At Luvaine we saw a single federation of co-operative farmers' league which represented a member ship of over 50,000 and did a business mounting into the millions. In Ger many it is estimated that there are thirty odd thousand co-operative so cieties of various kinds and every so ciety, with true German thoroughness ot organization federated, affiliated, and associated until together they form an industrial unit with a mem bership of over five million. In Den mark one out of every four inhabi tants belongs to a society engaged in some co-operative activity. One man will belong to eight or ten different co-operative societies, each society performing some necessary function in the economic life of the individual. Permeates Danish Life. To. illustrate how co-operation- per meates Danish rural life: At Freder ickssund while visiting the co-opera tive bacon factory we came in con tact with a little group of farmers and their wives who were inspecting the factory?the factory of which they were part owners. Upon getting them In conversation we discovered that in that little group of 12 persons, 12 dif ferent co-operative organizations were represented. These were a co-opera tive bacon factory, a co operative egg export organization, a co-operative store, an organization for the co-oper ative purchase of fertilizers; a co-op erative fire insurance society, a co operative life insurance society, a so ciety for the insurance of animals, another society for the insurance of members against sickness, a co-opera tive credit society, a farmers' water works company and an electrical sup ply company. All of these men and women were from the farm and were f the ordinary type of farmers, neith er rich nor poor but a thoroughly rep resentative group. It is probable, judging from our inquiries, that in any group of a similar number would have been found representatives of a similar number of co-operative enter prises. In Ireland we found, that co-opera tion, under the leadership of Sir Hor ace Plunkett ably seconded by Rev. Thomas A. Finlay, George W. Rus sell, and R. A. Anderson, has revolu tionized rural Ireland. In fact co-oper ition and the opportunities which nave come from the new land tenure laws nave wen nign remouiaea me Irish race itself. It is evident that in many sections his economic welfare has been so well served that the Irish man is even losing his pugnacity. He is no longer incessantly "agin the government" but is becoming a well contented citizen more intent upon his economic situation than upon his po litical surroundings. He is losing his interest in politics and we talked to many who seemed loath even to dis cuss so important a question as the ] home rule bill which was then pending and over which the politicians were becoming excited. The land tenure law has made it possible for him to Becure a home; co operation has made It possible for him to secure a home; co-operation has made it possible for him to feed and clothe his family. No one can make such a trip of in vestigation as we have made without becoming convinced that into Ameri can rural life must come some form of co-operative enterprise. If it costs as much to take the farm produce from the farm to the city consumer as it does to produce it (and this is an ad mitted fact) it necessarily follows that our distributive system is wonderfully wasteful. How long will the intelli gent American farmer tolerate a sys tem which nets him 25 to 50 per cent of the retail price of his farm product after he knows that the Danish farmer gets a Utile over ninety per cent of tive Farm Vlarketing -ope and May Be Done e Profit of Both ' Consumer 8. DUDGEON. oi-.i Newspaper Union, i an: Peasants Co-operate. lRATIVE message what the consumer pays for hiB prod uct. As we investigate what is done abroad and what could be done in America in the way of efficient dis tnoution tne wonaer grows tnai tne American farmer with hiB intelligence ; and independence and initiative has consented to be a victim of a distribu tive system which has put him abso lutely in the hands of the commercial forces that intervene between himself and the consumer. It is no less as tonishing that the more businesslike and more commercialized city consum er should have so long consented to pay a price to the distributor of farm products which is over 100 per cent above the producer's price. Co-operation Is coming to America. Whether it will come in the exact form in which It evidences itself in foreign lands or in some other differ ent form is immaterial. It may not come immediately but eventually and inevitably the idea of co-operation will prevail in the future agricultural and commercial organizations of the Unit ea aiaies. Co-operative Lessons. It is safe to assume that Ireland, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark have learned some lessons from their many years o?? co-operative endeavor. It is safe to assume that if certain princi ples have been found to apply through out all these countries, then these priif* ciples are at least worthy of care ful consideration for future use in America. There are some points as to which all co-operative societies abroad are the same. There are some as to which they differ, as is but natural when we- consider the varying condi tions under which the various socie ties operate in the different countries. We are of course primarily interested in those fundamental characteristics which are common to all. Whenever a number of American farmers gather together to consider an organization which has to do with mercantile or other financial enter prise, it is but natural to talk about profits and dividends. Their idea of organization is a joint stock corpora tion in which each man invests such money as he can spare, in which each votes in proportion to the shares pur chased, and the main purpose of which is to earn money and declare divi dends. It is difficult for him to con ceive of a commercial organization whose chief function is not to squeeze all the profit there is out of every ac tivity. True co-operation is impossible so long as this idea of organization is retained. The purpose of the co-operative en terprise is to handle the product with 1 economy and efficiency so that there ?.ni ko ^ s-v nrnnfA A M ~ ~ U ~ JI win uu iiu naoic cuiu uu yiuuib ui verted from the producer's pocket. If 1 such a concern payB a large dividend ; to shareholders it is not evidence of ' success but a clear indication that 1 money which should have gone to the producer has been taken irom him and given to the investor. This con ception has not yet reached the con- 1 sciousness of the American farmer who still expects a co-operative con cern to pay dividends. The Irish Way. In Ireland we found that nearly all 1 of the effective co-operative organiza- ( tions were affiliated with the Irish 1 Agricultural Organization Society 1 which from the first has been the power that has made co-operation pos sible in the island. It is a rigid rule 1 of this organization society that no local society belonging to it can under < any circumstances pay to exceed five i per cent per annum upon its shares of 1 stock. The moment the shareholders conceive the organization is one i i- : 4. ? y ^ I winuu is iu earu large aiviuenas, mat ? moment its usefulness ends. More than one American co-operative enter- ' prise h^s been wrecked upon these < rocks. 1 One Man One Vote. < Following some bitter experiences, 1 it has been found neccssary to adhere rigidly to the principle that no matter < what a man's investment may be, he i may have only one vote in the man agement of the 'concern. Experience f has shown that this avoids jealousies, < and suspicion, and discord, and pre vents mismanagement. The rich man < and the poor man have gone into it 1 for identical purposes. Hoth are in- ] terested in and pledge themselves so to manage the concern as to turn over to the producer the largest possible i percentage of the price paid by the j &Mvkii. consumer. There can. in a truly co operative enterprise, be no antagonis tic interests. The interests of ail are identical. Each is seeking to accom plish the same purpose. The richer member does not feel himself disfranchised. What is good for him is good for the poorer member and he seems to have been always able to make the poorer member see it and vote with him. Everywhere it is one man one vote. There is abso lutely no dissent from the principle Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, and Ger many, all agree that this is absolutely the only method ot management. Disloyalty of Members. One of the great stumbling blocks In co-operative success in America has been the disloyalty of the members themselves. As soon as a co-operative marketing concern is organized a pri vately owned company is likely to of fer an advanced price?one consider ably above that which the co-operative concern is offering and possibly one much higher than the condition of the market will justify. In America hu man nature, like human nature in general, is selfish and it is difficult for the farmer to see why he should sacri fice five cents a bushel'upon his grain out of a mere sentiment of loyalty to the co-operative enterprise. As a re sult he almost inevitably takes his grain to the privately owned concerif. His neighbors do the same and soon the co-operative concern is on the rocks and is abandoned. No observer of American commercial methods needs to be told the next step. The privately owned concern immediately lowers the price, the farmer-is where he was before but by his own disloyal ty he has made it practically impossi ble for any other co-operative con cern ever to be organized in the com munity. European co-operation has had the same experience. It was originally hard for the European farmer to real ize that he should sacrifice a limited amount of present profit in order to demonsttrate his loyalty to the con cern and to' secure ultimate success. The situation, however, no longer arises where co-operation has become fairly established. In the very beginning of the organi zation a frank statement is made and prospective members are informed that the competition of privately owned buyers will be Buch that they will be offered larger profits than the co-operative concern can offer thenr\ qtiri that unload thpv a re rpartv to en i Into the co-operative enterprises and to agree to bring all their products to it irrespective of the price which it la offering no organization can be suc cessful. The fact that the high prices which will be offered them in compe tition are but temporary Is fully ex plained and experience shows that when the farmer understands what the situation is likely to be ae is very ready to enter Into an agreement to market all of his produce through the co-operative concern. Quality and Control. Another characteristio common to all co-operative organizations which we visited In these four countries la that where the society is a marketing concern it insists upon the highest quality and in order to get it exercises absolute control over the acts of its members so far as these acts contrib ute to the quality of the product. Such a successful dairying institution as the Trifolium dairy of Denmark has most rigid rules to which all members must subscribe. There must be monthly inspection by the veterinarians repre senting the society; a cow found to be unhealthy or defective must be with drawn; the slightest illness on the part of the cow must be reported and the milk kept separate; detailed re quirements as to ventilation, cleanli ness, handling of milk and milk cans must be observed; the milk of cowb which have not been inspected must not be mingled with those which have; milk must be cooled within one hour after it is milked in order that bacteriological growth may cease; cans must be cleaned in a certain way; In fact everything is done which can be done to improve the quality of the milk and the butter and other products handled by the Trifolium dairy. Central Association Needed. Experience in these foreign coun tries has also demonstrated that no local co-operative concern is sufficient unto .itself. The manager of a co operative egg marketing institution in northwestern Ireland may know all about poultry raising and egg produc tion, may be skilled in the art of pack ing his eggs, and know something in general about marketing. It is impos sible for him, isolated as he is, to know from day to day where there is a demand for his product. As a result it is found necessary in Ireland to have these co-operative concerns affiliated with the Irish Wholesale Society, with 1 leadquarters at Dublin. The same principle exists in Ger-* many but is worked out in another way. The necessity of federation is popnimi7f.(i however, in all countries EVERY PACKAGE TIGHTLY SEALED!

All profits in. tho nrndueers as additional I ill uc t few IV/ vMw price for goods delivered. 2. Each member must vote once and only once regardless of his finan cial investment. 3. Each member must make a con tract to deal exclusively with the co operative concern and must refuse to take advantage of unfair competition I Dn the part of the co-operative socie ty's competitors. 4. All members must unite to pro duce a product of the highest possible quality. The various local societies must, for efficiency and self-protection, unite in one central federal association. 6. The man who manages a co operative concern must be a man of liigh ability and the directors must pay him a big man's salary.
