So to Dunglow wo can e.
The association, after giving careful
the
mg eggs by weight, decided to give
it a trial, being convinced that it is
not only fair to those bringing in the
larger eggs, but that it is the best,
and in fact the only inducement to
the rearing of an improved breed of
fowl laying the larger eggs. Old cus-
toms die hard, and many of the mem-
bers looked askance at the novel meth-
od of calculating the price of their
goods. But on the whole it has found
favor. There is already a marked im-
provement in th© size of the eggs
throughout the district and there is
every reason to expect that the pro-
any certainty that the merchandise
delivered was worth the prices
charged. Egg raising was rot profit-
able and the few eggs produced were
merely an incidental by-product.
When the co-operative organization,
“The Templecrone Co-operative Agri-
cultural society.” as it is called, was
formed, however, there was a change.
The farmers soon learned that it they
furnished good eggs they £Ot good
prices. They were told how to pick
out good layers; how to keep the eggs
fresh and clean; how often to gather
them; how frequently to bring them
to market, fhfy were inst-ucted as
to testing eggs and breeding egg lay-
ers. They bring in the eggs. The as-
sociation dot s the rest.
Good Business Methods.
Thie is how they do it: Each week
the agricultural wholesale society at
Dublin sends to the local manager a
forecast giving the figures that will be
obtainable for eggs, butter, and poul-
try, and stating where there is likely
to be a demand for eggs.
Each day, on the other hand, the
manager writes to the wholesale so-
ciety telling just what he hast on hand
and what the prospects are for the
next' few days. Sometimes they use
the telegraph. Then every few days
4he wbolesi Je_ society write? or tele-
graphs definite directions as to where
and when the-eggs must be iient The
only succeed where the eggs them-
selves arc? good. Quality is of pri-
I mar’ importance.

Dunglow, County Donegal, Ireland.—
this is i.he story of how :he Irish hen
scratches a living for the people of
Dunglow out of the desolate bogs and
hillsides of County Donegal. The hen
sould not do it so long as the* farmeni
tailed to market profitably the eggs

America, where the men w’ho market
the eggs get more of the selling price
than does the farmer who owns the
hens. The Donegal hen is a money
maker for her Donegal owner because
cooperative marketing has mf.de eggs
a profitable produce for the farmer.
Hens to the Rescue.
Throughout the more fertile parts of
Ireland the American party c« ntinutil-
ly saw evidences that co-operation
played an important pari in making
possible the prosperity that was every-
where apparent. It was sever al times

gal. So to Dunglow we cane. The cording to the most improved irethod,
adverse conditions are here, yet the and a good market found for them, so
people are neither ragged nor starved. |
The children are as 1
can children and the first little girl
that we saw in the communi'y had a
■tore doll In her arms. That meins
money from some source, for toys wait diately rose and all
for the necessities of life. Inquiry . profited.
■con revealed that the first source of rru - ‘ „ _______
income which Is depended upon is the ! consideration of the question of buy-
saJe of eggs through the co-< pera iive
society conducted by a native boy,
Paddy Gallagher. It is true that the
•oil is so poor and so thli that a
living can not be dug from it. But
the industrious hens are busily
scratching away where the sill is too
thin for hoe or spade or pk w. For-
merly no farm product brought good
prices and prior to the organization
©f the co-operative society the local
price for eggs was four tn rix cents
less than the price quoted upon the
nearest market at Stratone ->r Derry.
Generally, too, this price wai paid In
trade at the store and there was never I duction of larger eggs in the district
may cause eggs to become a much
greater source of income in the future.
The association has also supplied its
poultry station with trap nests, so
that members will be able to procure
the eggs of the best laying strains.
As an instance of what might be
achieved in this direction, the society
has received this year for 18-i«ound
eggs the record price of 50 cents per
dozen. Those eggp^ | re, of course,
picked from amo a large quantity
and sold r hen prices were highest;
still it is a very striking example of
w6at may be gained by a careful se-
lection of layers. The fact that the
Templecrore eggs gained third place
at the Sheffield poultry exhibition held
this year, and second place/ at the
Bristol exhibition, shows that Mr. Gal-
lagher is doing his part in budding
up a reputation for them.
Quality the Big Thing.
The fact must not be ignored, how-
ever, that the results are obtained not
altogether by good business manage-
ment In the marketing. Higher prices
prevail not only because the eggs are
sent promptly to a good market, but
because the eggs are actually the eggs
of the highest possible grade, and are
sorted in such a way as to form an
attractive and profitable article of
commerce for tha retail dealer w*ho
purchases from the marketing asso-
ciation. 7? other words it has been
he we ver, it atauld io noted, j demonstrated that good marketing can

"illrectly to the place where they pre

machinery, no red tape, no delay,

from tile standpoint of the mem^B
the price of eggs instead of being
four to six cents below the figures
quoted in the nearest city markets is
now two to four cents higher than
there. It is all simple and we see
no reason why the entire plan cannot
be used in any American village and
the results duplicated.
Expert Knowledge Necessary.
The association did not rush Into
the egg business without preparation.
Patrick Gallagher, th© manager of the
society, after he had made a begin-
ning with the society, felt the need
of more expert kr owledge. He went
to the Dunboe Cooperative society
and here he gained a thorough knowl-
edge of packing and dealing in eggs
and poultry, and also learned co-
operative bookkefping and the gen-
eral business methods followed by
I that society. Up to this time Mr.

ally hires an additional laborer to as-
sist in unloading cars and only for
such purpose, be eligible to become a
subscriber to the employers’ liability
act?”
The board makes the following rul-
ing: “In view of section 2, part 1,
of tie act, which provides that any
person, firm or corporation having in
his or their employ not more than five
persons; and of section 1, part 4, of
the act, which defines ‘employe’ as
bein? ‘any person in the service of an-
other under any contract hire, express-
ed cr implied, oral or written, except
one whose employment is but casual
or is not in the usual course of trade,
business, profession or occupation of

suet an employer is not entitled to be-
come a subscriber to the act.”

Ruling of Texas Industrial Accident
Beard Prevents Lawyer# Faom
Handling Money.
Austin, Tex.—The Texas industrial
accidtnt board Saturday adopted one
of the most important rules it has yet
promr.lgated.
The new rule, which is numbered 7,
will cause many damage suit lawyers
to protest vigorously, as it cuts out
the lawyer handling any of the com-
pensation. The rule provides that all
compensation under the act must be
“paid directly to the insured employe
or to his heirs.” This means that the
lawyers would not handle the money
at all and could not retain a fourth
or half or third, as the case may be.
The new rule reads in full as fol-
lows:
“All compensation under the em
ployers’ liability act shall be paid
weekly, except in cases where death
or total permanent disability results
from an injury, when a lump sum set-
tlement, by agreement of the parties
there:©, may be made, subject to the
apprcval of the Industrial accident
board. Also all moneys in the way of
compensation under the act shall be
paid directly to the injured employe
or to his heirs, as prescribed in sec
tion 8, part 1, of the act.”
The following rule as to the method
of calculation was made:
“When by’ reason of the shortness
of th? time of employment of the em-
ploye it is impracticable to compute
the average weekly wages as pre-
viously defined in section 1, part 4. of
the act, the wage basis for compensa-
tion shall be that which the employe
is receiving on the day of his injury.”
The board rules that an injured em-
ploys, protected under the employers’
liability act and claiming compensa-
tion for temporary total disability, can
not te charged, in weekly installments
with’ him, with fees received by him
wbil<? serving on a district court jury
during such disability. The insurance
company will not be authorized to
make a deduction iu the fees received
by the injured employe while serving
on the jury during disability.
was
jected. Rough shells constitute mor*
or less of a defect since roughness
may raise the suspicion that the egg
is a pickled egg. New laid eggs have
what might be called a rough finished
gloss upon them, which cannot be
duplicated or imitated in any way
The egg which has once been soiled is
unmarketable. Any effort to remove
the dirt removes also the gloss and
produces an appearance that is incon-
sister t with the general idea of fresb
ness. ♦
Not only must the egg be of a good
appearance, but it must be good
throughout. The testing is by the
now well known system of candling
in a dark room. It is held up against
a powerful light to reveal whether it
is a 'resh egg or one in which there
has begun the process of deteriora-
tion. The co-operative associations,
handing aa they do so large a num-
ber. generally test their eggs tn large
trays, the trays often holding 120 eggs
at a t rue. Dirty eggs, bad eggs, ques-
tionable eggs no longer appear. Be-
cause of care on the farmer’s part
they are no longer produced. Since
the society buys by weight, which is
after ill a far more just measure than
the count, the average egg is gradual-
ly growing bigger. If small eggs .are
produced they do not reach the mar-
ket.
Co-operation Helps the Consumer.
It is of course conceded that if
there is a big supply uf good food,
food will be cheaper than when it «s
scarce and more people will be able to
get it. If co-operation not only sends
better eggs to the city, but sends them
in double or triple the quantity then
eggs will in the end oe plentiful and
chea[«er. ,As a result the consumer
will profit. This is particularly true if
the eggs are, under co-operation, pro-
duced at less cost and with less waste.
It will b© readily understood that if
the farmer finds that egg producing
is a profitable enterprise the quantity
of eggs produced will vastly Increase.
Comprehensive figures for Ireland are
difficult to obtain, but this has proved
true in Denmark. In 1895, according
to official figures, there was exported
fiom Denmark something less than
$2,0(0,000 worth of eggs. Fourteen
year? later, when co-operative market-
ing had demonstrated the profit that
was in the business, there was ex-
ported in one year nearly $7,00o,000
worth of eggs. Wolf states that while
in H93 the number uf hens kept in
Denmark was about 5,900,000, in 1911
the figure had reached the 12,000.000
marie It is significant that while the
number of hens had only a little more
thar doubled, the value: of the yield
had become nearly tuur-fold. This
was largely the result of the fact that
the improved conditions under which
poultry was kept had greatly improved
the laying ability of each hen. The
same sort of thing is occurring every-
where in Continental Europe. In Ger-
many, in France, in Belgium, in Italy,
co-operative societies have undertaken
the marketing of eggs with great
profit to the farmer and with consid-
erable satisfaction to the consumer.

and elsewhere as well, they consider
this “one man one vote” plan essen-
”Th© man should vote,” they
say, “not his money.”
They pay a good price in cash for
the eggs. And when the annual set-
tlement comes there Is always a divi-
dend to investors. But those who
have invested their money, much or
little, get only five per cent. No so-
ciety under the supervision of the
Irish Agricultural Organization society
is permitted to pay dividends upon >
shares in excess of that percentage. ,
What is left is distributed to the mam- i
bers in proportion to the amount of
eggs they have marketed through the !
cooperative society. It goes as an \
additional price paid for eggs.
These two principles are considered 1
fundamental and essential; first, one
man one vote; second, all profits in
excess of a small dividend to investors !
must go to those who contributed to
the profits by furnishing the product.
Why Not In America?
Why hasn’t this sort of thing been
done in America? It isn’t because
the American farmer and his wife do
not need the money. They do. It I
isr * because there is no demand for ,
good eggs. Eggs were never so much
in demand and buyers are more par-
ticular than ever about quality. The
strictly fresh eggs find buyers every-
where. The fact is there is no good
reason why American farmers should
not do business as intelligently as
Irishmen. Some of them do, but not
many. It takes no capital and can be
done on a small scale.
Interview With Dr. McCarthy.
Dr. Charles McCarthy, who is look- ;
ink over the Dunglow co-operative sit-
uation. has studied co-operation not
only in Ireland, but in Italy. Germary,
Belgium, Denmark and elsewhere.
No one knows better than he condi-
tions abroad and at home. He under-
stands American rural conditions as
few understand them. In his opinion
co-operative organizations that exist
in Dunglow will do just as well in
Massachusetts or Minnesota as they
do in Ireland. One thing, however,
the farmer must learn and must learn
thoroughly. That ts, that simple co-
operation will not make over a bad
business man into a good business
man nor will it make egg packing or
any other farm industry profitable.
Along with co-operation must come
good business methods, good book-
keeping good salesmanship, careful
