put themselves out of business.
In many counties the largest man
ufacturing businesses are those of
the cooperatives. The consumer-
owned industries, producing for
their members foods, clothing, fur
niture, and a multitude of useful
things, in many lands have built up
some of the largest manufacturing
businesses in their respective coun
ties. I have never been able to learn
of a failure of a consumer-owned co-
operative manufactory in any coun
try in the world. How different this
is from the sad story of closed mills
and rusting wheels to be seen in
our profit industries!
It is not through the cooperatives
that people are losing their savings
and going on relief in their poverty,
but through the businesses which
now take occasion to criticise coop
eration.

economic system can transform its
elf into a cooperative system with
out shock or cataclysm or without
any action of government whatever,
and by the simple processes peculiar
to the every day economic lite. The
result is mutual service in place of
individual advantage at somebody
else’s cost.
The sixteenth annual canners’
short course held in the food pro

double seaming course in machine

Cooperation offers the way to
make the detour around fascism and
to arrive at an economy of abund

horrors of social chaos and the val
ley of economic destruction and
death.
We are assembled here to dedi
cate to this end such talents as we
possess. We have come to discuss
our problems and to plan for the
continuation of cooperative pro
grams. We are here to prevent, if
we can, an age from dying. The wis
dom and the sagacity which we
bring to bear portends much for the
future of our country. It must be to
us a source of satisfaction, encour
agement, and of strength, that work

This all-mash ration may be fed
until the chicks are eight weeks
old. After this period, the ration
should be supplemented with a
grain mixture of equal parts of
cracked yellow corn, whole wheat
and hulled oais.
The mash should be kept before
the chicks at all times through-
out the growing period. The grain
may also be fed in hoppers. When
the chicks are 12 weeks of age,
they should be allowed equal parts
of mash and grain fed separately.
Nutrients essential for most eco
nomical gains in weight (protein,
carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and
minerals) are supplied in the prop
er amounts in the above feeding
recommendations for chicks. In
addition, plenty of clean water will
aid digestion and circulation.

Profit for Novice Found
in the Broiler Business
The rearing of broilers is a very
practical and profitable way of
starting into the poultry business,
states a writer in the Philadelphia
Record. The broiler plant can be
conducted by itself or in connec
tion with an egg farm.
Broilers are young, plump chick
ens, usually killed when from 6 to
12 weeks of age. The main point
in raising them profitably is to
keep them growing as fast as pos
sible.
The first rule for deriving a good
profit from poultry is to get only
A-No. 1 chickS, from blood-tested
stock. The next step is to keep
these chicks growing so that they
will reach laying maturity before
cold weather.
There are two systems in vogue
for feeding poultry—dry and wet.
The former is simpler and easi
er. The beginner is advised to
adopt either one and follow it until
he has a good reason for modifying
or changing it.
More care should be exercised
in feeding chicks than fowls, be
cause they are hungry little things
and do not know so well what is
goo i for them. They eat anything,
and the digestive organs are not
able to handle the objectionable
matter.
