Organized Co-operation 
A NEW BOOK 
This book is written in three 
parts. 
PART ONE.—The Develop¬ 
ment of the Agricultural Indus¬ 
try. In five chapters. 
PART TWO. — Fundamental 
Principles and Adaptable Forms 
of Co-operative Organization. In 
ven chapters. 
PART THREE. — Application 
of Co-operation to Efficient and 
Economic Distribution of Farm 
Products. In seven chapters. 
This is a new treatment of the 
co-operative subject. Heretofore 
writers of bcoks have contented 
By JOHN J. DILLON 
themselves with accounts of co¬ 
operative work where established. 
It has been mostly propaganda 
and exhortation. This was all 
good in its time. But we have 
grown beyond it. Farmers are 
now committed to co-operation. 
Once shy of it, they are at last a 
unit for it. What they want now 
is principles and definite policies 
that have Droved successful. This 
book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and it 
is to be hoped better, books will 
follow on this line; but for the 
present there is no other book 
seriously treating the subject of 
organized co-operation.

The Comforts of Life. —The inven¬ 
tive genius of man is worked overtime to 
make things easier about the farm, and 
even the feeding of hogs in a neatly paint¬ 
ed cafeteria feed box is made a Monday 
morning chore for the week. What has 
been done to return to mother the smile 
of early womanhood? A dollar will go 
as far to make life easier in the kitchen 
ae a $10 bill on the farm. Even the 
little thing, the sink, has been the sub¬ 
ject of refinement. One was divided, one 
part shaped as a wash bowl, but a little 
larger, in which dishes may be washed, 
and in the other compartment a place for 
draining and a wire basket in which the 
dishes may be placed for draining and 
drying. A turn of the spout will direct 
the boiling water upon the dishes in the 
bowl or in the drying rack. A simple, 
commonplace thing is a sink, but morn¬ 
ing, noon and night mother works over 
this. It was useless to count the elec¬ 
trical appliances for washing. In the 
past dozen years the first of these were 
shown and now have become a common¬ 
place part of home equipment. Manu¬ 
facturers seem to forget that the farmer 
has not entirely turned to electrical pow¬ 
er, yet there was to be seen the pumping 
plant that would supply water to the 
kitchen, to the tank and water bowls in 
the barn, driven by a small, reliable en¬ 
gine. This could be lifted in one hand, 
carried to the washing machine, to the 
grindstone, or fanning mill, and in each 
place faithfully and with untiring 
strength do its chores. When the father 
looked over the acres of farm machinery, 
the giant tractors turning the wonderful 
grain separators, the stone crushers, the 
road-building machinery, in the adjoining 
building mother saw how conveniently the 
kitchen cabinet, the range, the sink and 
the cupboard might be grouped to save 
her the long weary miles of travel that 
have made household duties drudgery. 
Even ice may be had to cool the water 
at harvest time, the refrigerator kept cool 
by a little machine operated by a quarter- 
horsepower motor receiving its energy 
from the storage battery of the farm pow¬ 
er plant. The cost of operation was con¬ 
sidered lower than the purchase of ice. 
The evaporation of sulphur dioxide gas 
caused the intense cold. This gas evap¬ 
orates in coils, is pumped by the electric 
motor into a fraction of its space, and 
again expands. The gas is used over and 
over again for months and possibly years. 
Four types of this machine were sold, and 
we are only on the threshold of a wide ap¬ 
plication of the idea, including cooling 
milk and in the use of iceless packers for 
ice cream. 
The Boys and Girls. —Not alone was 
the Columbus Fair one for parents, but 
for boys and girls as well. One out of 
four of the 2,500 boys’ and girls’ clubs 
was represented; 25,000 boys and girls 
are interested in the farm and the home. 
These boys and girls came with 140 
calves, 71 hogs, 31 sheep, and with poul¬ 
try. There were 16 and 17 dairy and live 
stock judging teams, respectively. Girls 
from more than three score clubs of the 
State graphically showed by poster a 
well-planned meal. Nearly a hundred 
clothing clubs exhibited dresses for school, 
the home, or for the social function. I 
asked club girls, their mothers and fath¬ 
ers, whether or not it paid. It does pay; 
it paid the little foreign girl in Northern 
Ohio to become a member of the club. 
Her mother had a half dozen children; 
the children wore the quaint garments of 
Eastern Europe. This clever girl, in her 
early ’teens, has become American in 
manners, in dress and in ideals, and she 
is doing the sewing for the brothers and 
sisters coming along. These club girls 
interested in the worth-while things of 
life are the ones to whom the lads should 
turn attention rather than the helpless 
dollies who are thoroughly conversant 
with all the scandal of the leading moving 
picture actors. Too many of the boys and 
girls declared they aspired to become a 
club leader. The girls are to be forgiven 
for that, for they were too modest to ad¬ 
mit that they still have the true old- 
fashioned idea of a home, a husband and 
children for whom they could make prac¬ 
tical application of this valuable training. 
After inspecting the work of boys and 
girls, a man remarked : “We must reckon 
with the coming generation as exhibitors, 
as breeders, and to carry on our work.” 
There is something more than breeding 
with which the boys are confronted : there 
is the matter of accurate record of feed¬ 
ing and the written story of the lad’s en¬ 
deavor, and each is essential in placing 
the boy’s standing. 
The Future in Sheep. —It was a 
proud day for the Ohio boy standing be¬ 
side the Governor, “Vic” Donahe.v, Secre¬ 
tary of Agriculture Truax, and the be¬ 
loved Prof. Plumb. This lad’s young ram 
was sold by Secretary Truax with the ap¬ 
peal that this presented the opportunity 
of the older breeders of the State to show 
their encouragement to the lads already 
interested in the industry. The sale was 
an innovation in the sheep show, the 
greatest in the world, numbering over 
1.600 animals. Prof. Plumb told the 
writer that the available stock of wool 
throughout the world was depleted, that 
the greatest future in live stock lies in 
sheep. W. W. Reynolds, friend of the 
sheep grower, declared that the politician 
had killed 10 sheep to dogs’ one, that 
Ohio had but one-fifth the’sheep it had 
when the State had but one-half its pres¬ 
ent population. Farmers from different 
counties told the writer that flocks were 
reduced in their communities to one-half, 
one-third and one-fifth the numbers of a 
generation ago. Several told the writer 
that a sheep shearer could not be secured 
at any price. One of the older exhibitors 
suggested that the young man who has 
ambitious to become an automobile ma- 
chanic should consider sheep shearing. 
He cited three young fellows of Fayette 
County who ehear 16,000 sheep annually, 
and for which they receive 20 cents per 
head. They shear from 250 to 300 sheep 
a day, and their season commences in 
January and continues until June. With 
but half the wool used in the United 
States produced in this country, with the 
coming of a greater demand as the re¬ 
duced flocks give way to dairying, not 
only in New Zealand, but in Australia, 
and in remote parts of the world, there 
is a better outlook for sheep than ever be¬ 
fore. Ohio has a wool pool that means 
much to the people of the State, and wool 
growers from eight States have consigned 
to the Ohio association wool marketed at 
2 % cents a pound. 
Pork Prospects. —“There will be but 
one brood sow in Western Ohio on Christ¬ 
mas Day where there are two today.” 
This was a rather startling statement, 
made by one of the oldest exhibitors at 
the fair. The shortage of corn is placed 
at one-fourth of a crop by farmer after 
farmer interviewed. After riding through 
the rich corn belt of the western part of 
the State the writer feels that the esti¬ 
mate is fair. The high price of feed, 
which will be higher, the shipment of 
carload after carload of hogs out of the 
pork producing sections, tend to make the 
outlook better for the grower next year 
and for some years to come. 
Cattle Exhibits. —Seventeen hundred 
and eighty-eight stalls in the new cattle 
barn were nearly all filled, a show of na¬ 
tional proportions all in itself. The aris¬ 
tocratic breeding of beef, dairy and dual 
purpose were present. On the tongues of 
Shorthorn men was the record of Melba 
15th of Darbalara, the famous Australian 
cow that recently has completed a record 
of 32,522 lbs. of milk containing 1,614 
lbs. of fat in 365 days, three milkings 
daily, making this cow the champion 
dairy animal of the world. A number of 
Shorthorn men declared that the fine old 
Shorthorn cow that two generations -ago 
took her place side by side with her sturdy 
son in the yoke, breaking the ground, giv¬ 
ing milk for the children, meat for the 
table, and leather for boots and shoes, 
will again be found on many farms that 
she has not frequented for half a century. 
The beef man is hopeful, hopeful because 
he has a silo this year and the light is 
shining a little brighter. The dairyman 
is hopeful, for there is a demand for his 
product. At the dairy buildings, where 
hundreds of visitors go to buy milk and 
ice cream, they came in far greater num¬ 
bers than heretofore. This shows a grow¬ 
ing appreciation of milk, the perfect food. 
The dairyman who a few months ago 
feared overproduction found his prices 
better than anticipated and now tending 
upward. Things look encouraging now, 
but what about the vacant farms, the 
shortage of help and the growing cities? 
These questions naturally arise. A trip 
through Ohio shows the great cities reach¬ 
ing out, the main highways becoming su¬ 
burban for miles, great steel plants, re¬ 
turning to quantity production, great 
buildings under construction, roads con¬ 
gested with trafiie, all indicating that the 
activities upon which the farmer depends 
and which are even more dependent on 
the farmer are present. 
What will be the effect of the fair on 
the people of Ohio, not the farm people 
alone, for above the Grange, the Farm 
Bureau or any other organization, is a 
greater co-operative organization, that is 
the one overlooked, the co-operation of 
city and rural resident in the making of a 
State. There will be a higher apprecia¬ 
tion of agriculture, there will be a closer 
feeling of fellowship existing between the 
farmer of the north and south, the east 
and the west, the manufacturer and the 
buyer, the boy and the veteran showman. 
It will all have its leavening effect, more 
noticeable with the passing of years.

Care of Young Turkeys 
I have four little turkeys I am raising 
without a hen. They were given to me 
when three days old. I am feeding hard- 
boiled eggs and a wet chick mash. What 
should I feed and how prevent them from 
getting blackhead ? mrs. h. l. 
Feed cracked grain, such as are fed to 
chicks, clabbered milk, hard-boiled eggs, 
stale (but not moldy) bread crumbs, ten¬ 
der green stuff of any kind and, later, 
cracked corn and wheat. The chief pre¬ 
caution to be taken is not to overfeed, 
which you will be pretty sure to do. Give 
but little at a time, keeping them hun¬ 
gry, though not etarved. The latest “ap¬ 
proved” remedy for blackhead that I 
know of is powdered ipecac. This is 
given young poults three times weekly, 
mixed in a little moist mash, and at the 
rate of one teaspoonful to each 20 poults. 
About one-fifth teaspoonful will do your 
four. Reports of the success of this meas¬ 
ure vary, but you will have an excellent 
opportunity to try it, with little trouble, 
as your flock is small. M. B, d.
