Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com-
und. made from native roots and
songs In these days of high prices
she feels that she must get butter that
can be bought at something less than
the fancy prices charged in the exclu-
sive delicatessen shops to which she
is driven in her efforts to insure her
family a good grade of butter. Ask
her and she will tell you that if co-op-
eration will enable her to get good but-
ter at a price made somewhat less by
the elimination of excessive distribu-
tion charges then she is heartily for
co-operation.
The city man of course, wants a
good butter to eat. The farmer waute
to make money from his dairy. They
have been telling us In America that
direct co-operative marketing will give
each what he wants; that co-operation
has repeatedly accomplished these re-
sults where It has been tried in Ire-
land, In Holland, in Denmark and In
Germany. If co-operation will do this,
it is well to look into it for good but-
ter is important—and financial profits
are worth wliile. So some of us are
over here in Ireland to see if co-opera-
tion really is a benefit both to the city
j eater and to the rural producer.
The co-operative creamery here is
i turning out good butter—none better
j anywhere. We think we have found
why Irish butter is good, why it brings
I to the farmer a good price in this city.
| The butter is good because co-opera-
I tive creameries use good methods of
| butter making; because their patrons
get good milk from good cows, take
I good care of it, and deliver it in good
j condition to the creamery; and lastly
i because when once made it is hurried
off to a consumer before it can get
! stale. They get a good price for it be-
cause it is good butter.
I On the other hand, the city gets it at
J a reasonable price because co-opera-
| tive marketing in Ireland is direct
| marketing; because the butter comes
I quickly and directly from the cream-
' ery to the city home with little added
| expense for much handling by many
! middlemen.
Why Farm Butter Is Sometimes Bad.
nrbs, contains no narcotic or harmful I The writer remembers summer but
drugs, and to-day holds the record of j ter made from cream skimmed from
uncooled milk and kept on the warm
pantry shelf during the long hot days
j until churning time. It was hardly but-
j ter—it was In fact commercially
j ranked "grease." It brought six cents
per pound, and as butter was worth
I less.
j Failure to make good butter was ln-
j evitable. Nor were the tired farmers'
| wives to be criticised for the poor re-
I suits obtained. They had no facilities
| for keeping the milk and cream clean
and cool, no facilities for making but-
! ter, no facilities for keeping it.
Co-Operation Lightens Labor.
What the woman on the farm most
j needs is to be free from the burden of
j the endless handling of milk, cream
j and butter, from skimming the milk,
j and churning the cream and from salt-
[ ing and working and molding the but-
ter—from all the labor entailed in the
| production of home-made, hand-made
j butter. She needs It if she is to have
I any life outside tho kitchen and the
j milk room.
I The laborious weariness of the un-
| eventful existence of the farmer's wife
has produced many candidates for tho
insane asylums. More than one worn
out unfortunate has been taken into
custody because her household duties
have chained her to a maddening
monotony unrelieved by opportunity
for intercourse, and have made impos-
sible any thought above the churn and
the cook stove. One Wisconsin farm-
er's wife was adjudicated by the coun-
ty judge to he afflicted with Insanity.

sion to the husband he was Incredu-

head and a soul, if It will permit her
to get off the farm oftener than once
in 14 wears—if co-operation will do
this or help by ever so little to do it,
the woman on the farm is for co-opera-
tion.
An Ungallant Irishman.
We have found one man here in Ire-
land who is opposed to co-operation.
Walking along a country road near
Omagh we came upon a shrewd faced
Irishman who was very ready to talk
about co-operation. He was evidently
a man of some intelligence and, judg-
ing from his manner and address, a
man of some experience and success
in business. So we engaged him in
conversation about co-operation and
its effects.
'I am against it," he said. "There
is no sense in It." And he gave us in
forcible and picturesque language the
story of how he had been personally
injured in his business by co-opera-
tion. It developed that he had been a
buyer of farm produce—a commission
merchant in a small way. "Now there
is no money in it," he said, "since the
margin between what the city man
pays and what the farmer receives is
cut down. The fanner sells through
the co-operative organization directly
to the city merchant." Reluctantly he
admitted that maybe it was better for
the farmer and better for the city con-
sumer who had little with which to
buy. food. "But it's hard on us com-
mission men. It's putting us on the
rocks. I am not buying butter at all
any more. The co-operative creamery
here has run me out."
We asked him If co-operative butter
making did not make the work of the
farmer's wife and daughter easier.
"Of course it does," he said. "And lit-
tle good it is doing them. They don't
have to skim the milk and churn and
mold and salt the butter now and so
they go galavanting over the roads on
their bicycles. They don't stay home
at all any more. They're worse about
gadding than city women," and he
shook his head with misgivings.
So, if it be true, as our Irish friend
in his self pity proclaimed, that co-
operative butter making and butter
marketing is going to make it cost the
consumer less and net the farmer
more, we suggest that both maker and
eater will be for it, the ex-commission
merchant to the contrary notwith-
standing. They will both in city and
country be interested in seeing co-op-
eration accomplished. Certainly the
country woman who feels the burden
of butter making will welcome a pror
cess by which she la to get an oppor-
tunity to see something besides the
top of the cook stove and the inside of
the big churn. And we do not believe
that the ordinary American farmer
will object to co-operation even if it
does give his wife and daughter time
to get out upon tho road in buggy or
on bicycles.
The Omagh Creamery.
When we learned that the Omagh
Co-operative Creamery system of mar-
keting was cutting down the margin
of price between farmer and consumer
—was both raising the price to the
farmer and lowering the price to the
consumer, we concluded that it was a
concern worth considering. Even the
accusation that made it possible for
the farmer's wife and daughter to get
out on their bicycles occasionally did
uot unduly prejudice us against it. The
Omagh creamery is capitalized by con-
tributions from COO members who in-
vested from five dollars, up to $250
each, llut the voting is uot by shares.
It is on the one man one vote plan.
The live-dollar man votes just as often
and as forcibly as the $250-dollar man.
Tho members voting thus elect a
board of directors. These in turn have
the best man they can get as manager.
Hut he must be more thnn a butter
lous. "It can't be she's got insanity j maker. He must be a good business
or anything else," he said. "She's had ! man and an expert in marketing. No
no chance to catch it. She hasn't set j matter how much money is made, it
a foot off the farm for 14 years and no j must all go back to tho members in
neighbor has stayed at our house long proportion to tho butter fat delivered
enough to give her anything." I to the creamery after a dividend not
exceeding five per cent, is paid to the
stockholders. Five per cent, is the
limit of profit to shareholders. ThiB Is
the rule in all co-operative enterprises
in Ireland. It is organized primarily
that profits may go to the man who
brings In the cream. It is not ranked
as a particularly line investment for
the shareholder.
Differs From American Creameries.
We find the mechanical processes of
butter making much the same as those
in the best up-to-date American butter
factories. We do lind, however, that
this co-operative association has had
an output that Is of more uniform ex-
cellence than that of the American
factory. Here each member seems to
realise more fully than doe« the Amer-
ican farmer that the utmost vigilance
must be exercised In keeping the milk
and cream fresh and free from all Im-
purities, that keeping up the quality of
the butter Is as much his business as
tho butter-maker's. Therefore he
breeds and feeds and cares for his
cows and handles his milk on scientific
lines suggested by co-operative instruc-
tors and inspectors. The farmer is
saving Ills own interests, of course, for
a falling off of quality and reputation
means a falling off in the price ob-
tained for butter. The creamery tests
carefully, not only for butter fat but
for freshness and flavor. ,
Supervision and Inspection.
Then, too, the Irish Agricultural Or-
ganization society, which is the central
federation of all co-operative societies,
inspects the creamery and it® output
frequently, points out defects and
^elps to remedy them. The business
aide is not neglected. The organiza-
tion society has complete business su-
pervision of the creameries, which
must keep their accounts and records
in the way and on forms prescribed by
this central body. The creameries re-
port to the organization society and
their hooks and accounts are period-
ically audited by the organization so-
ciety's auditor.
Co-Operation Does the Work.
In short, the butter is good because
of co-operation. The members co-op-
erate with each other and with the
Omagh creamery; the Irish Agricul-
tural Organization society co-operates
with the Omagh creamery; the Omagh
creamery is federated with hundreds
of other creameriea and is federated
with and co-operates with the Irish
Wholesale society through which the
butter is marketed. It is co-operation
everywhere and the object of it all is
to produce good butter, to market it in
good shape and to get a fair price for
it.
1 Quality and Brands.
But quality after all is the whole
thing. If butter is not good no system
of marketing, no business methods, no
exercise of federated strength, no co-
operative endeavor can do anything
for it. The Omagh creamery makes
good butter and for years has made
good butter. It has a well established
reputation for good butter which is
worth at least one cent for every
pound that it makes. In order to be
able to collect this cent on each pound
it must mark each pound that It sends
out.
And printed upon the wrappers and
stamped upon the cases is the guar-
anty of quality; "Guaranteed Pure
Centrifugal Creamery Butter, Finest
Quality."
Butter Central Label.
But more important still is the au-
thorized label ot the Irish Agricultural
Organization society issued from ite
headquarters at the Plunkett house in
Dublin. It goes upon only the best of
butter. It goes not upon a case or
cake or cover, but upon the butter it-
self. The label is printed upon thin
tissue paper. When it is placed upon
the butter it is Btamped with a die
that fixes the label firmly upon and in
the butter and tears the paper so that
it cannot be removed and used again.
This label is guaranteed as carefully
as are the coins of the realm. Each
has a series number and can be traced
to the creamery to which It was deliv-
ered. If by any chance it is found up-
on a poor quality of butter, the butter
is at once sent back to the creamery
to which the use of that particular
label was entrusted.
What We Need in America.
We have plenty of creameries in the
United States. Some of them aro
owned co-operatively by the farmers.
But the farmers stop just short of the
highest success. The marketing Is
generally haphazard. The different
creameries do not co-operate in sell-
ing. Often good butter goes bad be-
fore it is sold. No one knows where
the demand is greatest today, when
the butter should be sent tomorrow.
The quality Is seldom uniform. Many
a good butter maker with good butter
making equipment turns out poor but-
ter because the patrons bring in poor
cream. The farmers do not co-opera-
tively work for quality. The creamery
does not always discriminate between
the best fresh cream and cream that is
a trifle stale and old. Butter buyers
cannot know what they are getting.
*The name of the creamery upon a
package carries no guaranty of qual-
ity. It Is put on good and bad butter
alike.
A Definite Prescription.
What is needed in the United States
is, first, creameries supported by farm-
ers working together co-operatively to
produce an absolutely uniform high
grade product; second, a brand that is
authoritatively fixed only on butter of
the highest quality after official teats
and grading; and third, a central as-
sociation or federation of creameries
that will perform the functions of tho
Irish Wholesale society and of tho
Irish Agricultural Organization society.
This central federation should control
the branding of butter, possibly under
state supervision; It should respect
and audit and advise with each sep-
arate creamery; it should aid in mar-
keting the butter Intelligently and
economically.
