A0 _ Kz We were founded as a nation of farmers, and in spite of the growth of our industrial life, it still remains true that our whole system rests upon the farm; that the welfare of the whole community depends upon the welfare of the farmer. ‘ Every parent who has a child at school should take it to a doetor for a thorough physical examination to Laa that the child is in every way fit us s the orâ€" If you have a coâ€"operative marketâ€" ing association of any kind in your eommunity, or are thinking of etartâ€" ing ore, you may be interested in the twentyâ€"one most important things wecessery to make such an organizâ€" at‘on successful, as they have been worked out by experts. # FIRSTâ€"What is the actual need for a coâ€"operative organization in your particular field and for your particâ€" ular product. â€" Consider, first, wherein the presem: system of maiketing gives poor service, takes too much of your profit; second, where the present system is wafteful andâ€" expensive; third, where, by combining, farmers ies m Ees Cue NOe ee n ce CC can reach better markets or turn out better goods. _ _ SECONDâ€"Is Where enough busiâ€"}, ness to keep a coâ€"operative organizâ€"| , ation going? A steady flow of bugiâ€"| . ness the year round is needed when much money is tied up in equipment|. and buildings. $ ‘ THIRDâ€"Do your neighbors want to coâ€"operate, and will* they stick toâ€" gether? This is what holds every association together. When farmers do not have any money invested in an assoctiation, say like a liveâ€"stock shipâ€" ping organization, unless every man has the proper spirit, it is easy for competitive buyers to get their busiâ€" ness, especially if they offer good puices, with a view to breaking up the ' organization. Usually this is the case | when an association starts doing busiâ€" lness. and spirit is a big thing then. ;A membership bond will sometimes | take care of such a situation. | FOURTHâ€"Don‘t scatter your efâ€" | forts. Concentrate. It has been found | that associations are best supported | when a community is engaged in one ‘ sort of farming. However, when farmâ€" | ing is diversified, farmers have sucâ€" | ceeded by having a main association | with branches to take care of grain, ‘| milk, livestock, or other products. FIFTHâ€"Pick your leaders careâ€" fully. Real léadership for the indiâ€" vidual organization does not come from without, but is generally made IFTORL WEVIWTUEW MVR O CW AARRCCOE CCC CC up of men taken from the ranks. of l the farmers who have worked hardest to organize an association. ; SIXTHâ€"Be sure your manager is absolutely square and impartial, It has beer found that if an association is to su.ceed the manager, or the man who does the grading of fruits, vegeâ€" tables, or any farm products marketâ€" ed through the association, must be impartial. â€" Favoritism | has ruined many a coâ€"operative organization which had a good future. The manager also should know his business, sp that every man gets a square deal. SEVENTHâ€"Keep your system of doing business as simple as possible. Farmers are not up to a complicated business; and the most successful soâ€" ceties have started in a small way, and increased gradually as the leaders became experienced and able to do the work. EIGHTHâ€"Be sure that your rules and regulations are properly framedi on the right basis. _ Farmers have| found it wise to include in the conâ€"] stitution and byâ€"laws reference to capital, shares, votes, membershsip,! and dividends. Sound organization is the groundwork of these associut.ions,! }aml a successful society must have a| solid foundation. | NINTHâ€"Choose your members | carefully. _ Ordinarily the memberâ€" iship in a coâ€"operative association should be limited to farmers only, but ‘ this is not a hard and fast rule. In! | communities where the town folks | and business men have been friendly to the farmers, it might be well to lct them have membership and some stock if they so desire. Especiallyl is this true of retired farmers. TENTHâ€"Don‘t give one man or | group of men any voting advantage. | Real coâ€"operation means that everyâ€" | one is on a level, as far as the organâ€" .! ization is concerned. To that end it .\ has been found best to limit the votâ€" .\ ing power to one vote to the member, | regardless of the number of shares â€"|\ owned by the individual. This feature | is one of the essentials of a true coâ€" :‘ operative association. Allowing one I vote to each member, every man has an equa]v-\-r;ic-;iirh the affairs of the organization. This feature tends to stimulate and maintain interest, ELEVENTHâ€"Don‘t give any one member too many shares in the assoâ€" ciation. If the number of shares an individual can hold is limited, the control of the organization will never fall into the hands of one man or a small group of men. Some associaâ€" tions restrict members to one share; others allow as many as five or ten; and by keeping the number down more farmers have a chance to beâ€" come stockholders, thus providing for greater membership and a corresâ€" ponding increased interest in the organization. TWELFTHâ€"Let each member take| out dividends in proportion to what he has put in in products. There are several ways of dividing the surplus funds, all of which are good. Some divide the surplus between stockholdâ€" ers, others pay a certain per cent., and put the remainder in a sinking fund. The best way, they say, is to pay the farmers the prevailing market price for their products, charging a small fee for service, and then pay dividends out of this surplus. Some coâ€"operative creameries pay out the surplus each month with the cream cheque, while livestock organizations give theâ€"farmers the net proceeds TORONTO minus a small commpssion Tor CNC manager who cares for the stock aad‘ accompanies it to market. j In paying out as creameries do, the expenses of the creamery, such 24, taxes, depretiation, etc., should be taken care of before the profits arg divided. This provides a fund to take care ‘of these expenses. ization carefully.â€" This means planâ€" ning the work of the association, u\d! providing for the dutics of the #offiâ€" clals. If each man‘s work is deterâ€" mined beforehand, there will be no overlapping of effort, and each man will have so much responsibility. ,It will eliminate passing the buck, if things should go wrong. FIFTEENTHâ€"Pay enough to get pot an able manager, then make him work.| piec No matter how good a nmiachine is set'f‘ Cor: up,; it will not run to best advantage | S unless it is looked after by someone; out who knows his business. Managers or | full employees should not be hired because, bro! they are friends of members or offiâ€"| off cials, but because they know their <of } .business. Salary should not stand in‘_ * the way of getting the right man, for| as « }80 per cent. of the business failure ; the are due to inefficient help and manâ€" her agement. Good managers can some-i times be obtained by taking over the employees of the private enterprise | which failed because of the coâ€"operâ€"| ative association. ‘This holds true of elevators or creameries. SIXTEENTHâ€"Don‘t .change manâ€" agers and offiters every whipstitch. Giving everyone a shot at holding ofâ€" fice in a coâ€"operative association has | been found to be poor business. Old officials should be retained whenever| lpossible. if they have proved their efficiency and know the business. b SEVENTEENTHâ€"Bé sure to keep| accurate accounts. This is very im»\ portant. Unless records are accurate,| the association is likely to go to the wall. It is the only way‘ of. tnsmng't if the business is being conducted at | a profit or a loss, and so that every | patron can get what is coming to him. from the sale of his products, Every | business, no matter what it may be,| depends in a large measure on its records and accounts. Uniform :lys-1 | tems of accounting. for coâ€"operative. | organizations have been developed by: | the Government, and can be had for | the asking.

This any frauds, or will find in the records of the « Correct accounts are nece 8 P P cemeiat‘ . 6 in the records of the organization. Correct accounts are necessary before any dividends can be rightly paig. . | NINETEENTHâ€"Base your associa-‘ tion on community spirit. It has been | found that coâ€"operation works better| in a locality where the people have| something in common, such as rwe,‘ religion, nationality, and where few | of the farmers are shifting tenants.| There are many places where the| people do not have these things in| common, and yet they get along, beâ€"‘ cause they have the right spirit and| the association work brings them t:o-t gether if it is properly handled by the right kind of a leader. | ~ TWENTIETHâ€"Join â€"with other| local associations when the time comes. For instance, if there are" several small associations in the same community, but handling different kinds of farm products, it would make coâ€"operation stronger in the section if all of the branches were gathered into one main society. TWENTYâ€"FIRSTâ€"Court and seek the friendly assistance of business and city people. Try to coâ€"operate with | city folks, because in cmnmuxr:fieo t T7 oL mo +4 t cola ds Th sns especially if it is a SUVOTC, iNb""A""*" company, telephone company, or any business where they are directly affected. But, as a rule, all rightâ€" thinking business men welcome such organizations among farmers. EIGHTEEN A frequent question asked is, “Why‘ doesn‘t my plum tree bear? It blooms heavily each spring, but there is no| fruit. Sometimes the fruits hang on for some time then all drop." The answer is, "Lack of pollination." None of our plums will bear if we have but one variety, unless there is some wild plums or our neighbor has1 a plum tree near us. Of course the only remedy is to plant other varâ€" jeties. While waiting for these new ltroes to get o‘ enough to bear, a blooming branch from another tree ;-ei;-in a.'pa'l of water will serve as a pollin Why Plums Don‘t Bear.

Aâ€"group of boys were playing ball one summer day in a vacant lot. In aâ€"ndighboring lot stood a li_t_t!e creamâ€" oiÂ¥ n cce t o ts ts *d . P04 P pets, and she had them all nnmed.i There were Poppy and> Jackie, and Coral, Firebrand, Flame and a half a dozen others. ~ _ â€" * Miss Abbie was washing dishes when she saw a dark object come fAlyâ€" ing through the air. It struck the pot that held Coral and broke itvinto pieces. Over the railing went poor Coral went, and down to the ground. Some friendly â€" salvia bushes held out their arms and caught her so careâ€" fully that not a leaf or a bloom was ‘broken. But one or two petals fell ‘Iofl and lay on the grass like drops «of blood. "O dearl O dear!" cried Miss Able as she flew down the steps to rescue the unfortunate flower. Coral was her favorite of them all. ~ After she had picked the flower up she fumbled a little among the salvia bushes. is A boy came racing across the field| to the gate. "Seen my baseball, Miss Abbie?" he panted. It was Danny Miller. He saw the broken pot on the ground and the poor little flower with bare roots in Miss Abbie‘s hand, and he knew well enough what had happened; but he was so busy looking for his ball that he did not take time to apologize. He did not even notice that Miss Abbie | ; failed to answer him. That last leap | of the ball had tied the score between i the Red Caps and the Blue Stockings, | and Danny must find the ball so that | they could finish the game. ‘ Miss Abbie went round to the side} of the house to get a fresh pot for | her flower, and on his hands and knees Danny searched and searched for the lost ballâ€"under the steps, in the grass‘ | and everywhere; but he could not find | | it. Two of the other boys came tumbl-l ;ing,over the back fence to join in the | search, but they, too, were unsucceu-‘ | ful. It was dreadful, for there was not |\ another baseball within a mile. ‘ After a while the boys went away grumbling. If they had looked back | | (which they did not do), they would | have seen Coral nodding away in her |\ new pot as if to say, "I know aome-‘ | thing you‘d like to know!" * \ Late that afterncon Danny came | over to bring Miss Abbie a big yellow | apple from his father‘s orchard. He , stopped and looked at the little flecks | of red on the grass by the porch. \ "I am sorry I broke your flowerpot, | Miss Abbie," he said. "Where do you .| suppose that ball can be?" it Dall Can tÂ¥X n49 suppose that ball can be?" He turned to look out over the yard, whenâ€"plop! something dropped beâ€" hind him suddenly. He whirled round, and there lay the baseball! % Miss Abbie was staring at it with her mouth puckered as if she wanted to laugh but could not. "It‘s funny for a ball to stay up in the air a whole afternoon!" she said. "It is funny, sure enough," Danny answered as he grabbed the ball. Then he looked at her and grinned. "I didn‘t know you had a pocket big enough to carry a baseball round in," he said. s wl haacs wor es Ein ut o oi old e F "Well," answered Miss Abbie, "I didn‘t think I should have to carry it long.

My apiary is locate in a grove of trees. The ground under the trees is in grass, and the surroundings neatly kept. The grove affords shade and provides convenient places for swarms to alight. By having the hives near the trees, and by paying close attenâ€" tion at swarming time, I very seldom and busy scene on a bright summer‘s dlm hum of bees can only be by personal experience, Not even a post would like to take a morning nap in such a bee garden. My bees are. all highâ€"producing strains, consisting of Golden Banded Italians and Red Clover bees. The 'W are able tb extract nectar from the red clover blossom. I purchase |inuddov«rwihwu.u'dntth.

In starting a new colony, I take a queen and put her in a brood hive with three or four frames containing comb, and with the proper number of worker bees. The queen lays eggs in the cells, the egis hatch into grubs, and the worker bees feed the grubs. It requires mbout three days for the eggs to hatch, and six days for the grub or larva to grow.
