EGGS AND CO-OPERATION.
Well Clothed Children of Co-operators.
Foynes, County Limerick, Ireland — j
As a housewife what would you think
of a plan of handling eggs which
would make eggs boiled with the shell
on always available for the table?
How would you like to feel sure that
any egg in your basket could be
dropped Into a kettle of hot water
with some certainty that It would j
come out a palatable egg and not a
nondescript animal product represent-
ing the period of transition from egg
to chicken?
When you buy your eggs at the !
grocer how would you like it if you
could be as sure that they were fresh
and palatable as you would be if your
own hens had laid them yesterday
and you yourself bad taken them from
f the nest and placed them in the
kitchen?
Now If the tales that they are tell-
ing here in Ireland and Denmark and
elsewhere abroad are true, a proper
organization of the egg producing In-
dustry would give to eggs a definite
uniform quality. Here uncertainty as
to quality has been eliminated, and
j co-operation has brought standariza-
tlon, Inspection, and branding, which
render every co-operative egg a strict-
ly fresh egg. The claim is, too, that
in addition to giving you "strictly
{ fresh" eggs, co-operation will give
them to you at a cost no greater
than the present cost of ordinary
eggs.
From the Farmers' Standpoint.
If you look at It from the stand-
point of the farmer who haB the fresh
{ eggs in his nest, he ought to be
anxious to know how he can hurry
these eggs to market before they get
(spoiled and are worthless. He is also
Interested in getting a market that
supplies a steady all-the-year-around
demand for eggs for, unfortunately,
; hens have a habit of laying the most
eggs when the price is lowest. A
farmer must have a market when this
time comes.
And bo a little party of us Ameri-
cans have come over here to see if
cooperation Is anything that can be
used in America to help the American
1 farmer and the American consumer.
We are also going to Denmark, Bel-
glum and Germany to see if co-opera-
tion in those countries is doing what
! is claimed for it; to see if co-opera-
tion can be adopted and adapted to
American needs.
Co-Operation Market for Eggs,
The Irish co-operation egg market-
ing association is primarily for the
purpose of securing a good profitable
\ market for eggs. The market must
be reached promptly, the eggs muBt
; not pass through too many hands,
i They must not be shipped into a dis-
tant city, then half way back acroBS
j the country as is done with some
i farm products In America.
liy the time eggs that start as
Htrictly fresh, have gone on a journey
like this and arrive at their final des-
tination they are no longer "strictly
J fresh"—they are simply "eggs."
| The co-operative egg marketing as-
sociation here in Ireland soon found
out that to successfully market their
members' eggs they must find a mar-
| ket not too dl.-tant, they must ship
by the most speedy and direct route,
| and they must so care for the eggs
Tbe eggs must not only be fresh,
but they must look fresh. In some
cities, moreover, the people want
brown eggs; others will buy nothing
but pure white eggs In some mar-
kets the small eggs will seli almoBt as
well as large eggs. In others none
but the large ones need apply. In
some markets, too. In fact in most
markets, the eggs must not only be
fresh and look fresh, but they must
have a certificate of character at-
tached This may take the form of a
guaranty, or It may be simply the
brand, date or number of the associa-
tion itself. But the purchaser soon
learns not to buy eggs that are not
responsibily vouched for. This co-
to pay about th* market price for
ege when they were delivered and
later this price was supplemented by
a division of profits.
1c this way it was possible to start
the organization without any capital
stock It was agreed howe-er, that a
small portion of the profits be set
aside to make up a reserve fund, and
thus a small capital has been grad-
ually accumulated
More Eggs Laid.
It soon came about that not only all
the farmers In the community were
furnishing all their eggs to the asso-
ciation. but they were saving their
pullets and accumulating a larger
number of hens to produce the eggs.
for which they were receiving so good
a price The city folk are helped, for
more good eggs reach them and reach
them in better condition.
It was deemed wise to enlarge the
territory covered by the association
and three or four substations for col-
lecting eggs were established. At
each of these substations, the eggs
brought in are carefully tested, and
' after having been packed are forward-
ed to Foynes to become a part of a
larger shipment to an English market.
The eggs sent in by each collecting
i substation are kept separate and test-
ed separately so that if any local sub-
' station takes any bad eggs and foi^
ward them to the association at
| Foynes. it is charged back with all
i bad eggs found in the Bhipment. In
this particular association it is not
' deemed best to brand the eggs them-
| selves, but every case is marked, so
that the bad eggs can always be
traced back to their origin. There Is If voa want to tone up your liver. pu

They find that gradually the public
is appreciating that a dozen of big
fresh eggs are worth more than a
dozen small eggs—that a pound and a
half of eggs is worth more than a
pound and a quarter. By offering
more money for big eggs, they are in-
ducing the producers to breed for j
size of eggs as well as for number.
How- the Irish Market Eggs.
We find here In Foynes a good 11-1
lustration of an egg marketing asso- j
ciation. It is representative of many (
others like it. The association here
has built up a simple business system [
that has accomplished three desired j
things. First, the farmer delivers a i
good quantity of good eggs; second, j
he gets good prices; third, the city I
man gets good eggs at a reasonable j
price Their system is not a complex
one, it has no red tape about it, but i
is simple, direct, common sense—a j
system that would w-ork in any vil-1
lage in America, provided only that
there were hens to lay the eggs j
Up to within the last decade rural
Ireland failed sadly of prosperity. In |
many sections the farms were too j
small for extensive grain raising and |
even for dairying, except upon a very '
small scale. Even the smallest farms,
however, had room upon them for
hens and hens did well in Ireland.
How It Was Organized and Operated.
The Irish Agricultural Organization
society is an association formed for
the purpose of helping rural communi-
ties to organized their business and
marketing processes. Sir Horace
Plunkett, an agricultural statesman
if there ever was one,, is at the head
of this society This association dis-
covered that in the neighborhood of
Foynes there were many hens, but
that the farmers were getting little
profit from them because the eggs
were not hurried to market speedily
enough, were not tested and were not
graded and, consequently, the farmer
received a very low price for his eggs.
, Many cities on the other hand were
suffering because they were getting
f poor eggs. So it was suggested that
i a co-operative egg buying association
i he formed at Foynes. A man who un-
j dcrstood the marketing of eggs as
i well aH the testing of eggs and some-
j thing of the raising of chickens and
I poultry was put in charge of the or-
ganization and a small store room was
i rented. The farmer was required to
deliver eggs three times every week.
| He must gather every egg from tbe
j nest the day it was laid. His nests
during the shipment as to prevent the ; ,IluBt be kept clean Ho must keep
deterioration that comes within even
a few days under unfavorable condi-
tions. In short, there is a double reason
for direct marketing of eggs; the first
reason is that any round-about, indi-
rect marketing costs the consumer
money and is an element in fixing the
high cost of living; the second reason
is that this long drawn-out process
| of marketing renders this particular
product unmarketable when the mar-
ket Is finally reached. Thus co-opera-
tive egg associations are doubly de-
sirable.
Quality in Eggs.
After the direct marketing route
was established co-operative egg as-
sociations still found that eggs which
were not strictly fresh when deliv-
ered to the iiKHociatlon could not be
sold as strictly fresh, no matter how
rapidly and directly they were rushed
to market. The managers were com-
pelled to adopt very harsh measures
In testing eggs delivered to them,
the eggB when gathered In a cool
place. He must bring in his eggs on j
a certain day when it was arranged 1
to have enough eggs from other farm- j
ers brought In to make a fair sized
Bhipment.
The eggs after having been tested
were graded as to size and color and
the man who had been placed In
charge shipped them to a market
known to him, guaranteeing them to
be strictly fresh, calling attention to
the grading which had been done
The farmers were surprised to find
that a price several cents higher than
that which they had previously ob-
tained for eggs raised in that com-
munity was at once paid, and that
consequently their eggs were bringing
them more than they had ever brought
them before. When the farmer deliv-
ered the eggs he was not at first paid
In cash; he simply became a partner
with the others In the marketing ven-
ture. Later it became the practice
always able to give valuable sugges-
tions as to when and where produce j
can be best disposed of. Each week I
this central society sends out to con-
cerns like that at Foynes letters of
advice giving prices and probable
points to which shipments are to be j
made.
It will be readily understood that |
with a skilled marketing man In j
charge, neither time nor eggs are
wasted in shipping to markets which |
are already flooded with eggs. The '
manager has correspondents and j
business connections which insure
him against any such losses. When
the eggs start he knows exactly i
where they are going, knows exactly
who is to take them, knows that there \
is not to be a flood of other eggs in
competition with his and knows that
he will receive the top market price j
for every egg sent.
What the Society Does.
Last year this Foynes association i
marketed 1,560,000 dozen eggs. The
total expense of handling all these |
eggs and conducting the affairs of the
association amounted to less than one-
quarter of a cent per dozen including j
weight from substations, drayage,
postage, rent and all other disburse-
ments.
The association has done so well
with the eggs that the members have
asked the manager to market other
farm products, chiefly poultry, honey
and butter. While the association
does not emphasize these jiner fea-
tures the poutry, honey and butter are
handled as advantageously and as
profitably for its members as are the
eggs. Last year the members also
called upon the association to pur-
chase fuel for them since they found
that coal was unreasonably high and
difficult to get. Last year therefore
the association not only marketed the
produce of its members but assisted
in procuring cheap fuel for them.
Prices Received.
On the average the farmer receives
about twenty-four cents per dozen for
his eggs, net. The consumer in Eng-
land or elsewhere more or less dis-
tant, is, of course, required to pay a
slightly advanced price, but the in-
creased price to the consumer never
exceeds seven or eight cents and is
generally much less. This relatively
small increase of price Includes
freight, marketing expenses, retailer's
profits, etc. In this way the price to
the consumer is never an exhorbitant
one.
It has been found, too, that this co-
operative association furnishes a
steady demand for eggs so far as the
farmer is concerned. If the manager
discovers through his correspondence
or through the I. A. O. S. that one
market is glutted, another is
searched for and found. Seldom lias
the manager failed to find some mar-
ket where there is demand for e
of the grade furnished by the asBoc
tion. In any event, no egg Is wasted;
every one reaches the consumer in
good condition
Notwithstanding our loyalty to
America, we are compelled to admire
this Irish system of co-operation, and
to admit that It surpasses our Ameri-
can methods of business. It is more
economical of time and money. The
farmer gets better prices and the city
man gets better eggs, so that we can
conclude that it benefits both farmer
and city man. But the best feature
of It is, that there is a system that
1b well adopted to the n6eds of the
Aicorlcan people.
Smart Youth Had It But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.
An important-looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform of the rail-
road station of a small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and. walking up to the
last car, he cried out;
"All change here. This car will be
left here."
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered exclamations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed a bland and childlike expres-
sion as he settled himself very com-
fortably in an empty seat. s
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
"I suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't go-
ing, arn't you?"
Yes," replied the bright youth,
with a grin.
"Well," responded the station agent,
"you were right. It isn't. The brake-
man heard you calling out about It.
and so he uncoupled it. He thought
you were an official."—Llppincott s
