I There art no illiterate, in Denmark
I end almost ninety percent of the far

I poor soil and a rather depressing cli-
I mete m ,ry months of the year. Back
■ so farther than ISBO the people were
almost In despair. The farmers were
bankrupt on account of the constant
powing cf grains and the prevalence
cf tenantry. The church had become
too forms! and the religion unsatia
fying.
But in 1880 a revival began with
the organisation of co-op grntive “so
cieties” as they are culled in Den
mark. A. new hope and a means of
escape from him present intolerable
situation dawned for the Danish far
mer with the application of business
■i’.'tbofis his farming and market
! * n ?. co-opciatives grew with
I great rapidity and were sncoaisful
frern the start. Anew type of -educa
licn was introduced and the cultural
ode of farming was developed.

taught to work with other farmers
ail kinds of activities. He ha;;
learned how to improve his methods
and to constantly produce better and
more to the acre. In those meetings
he is or. equal footing with the larg
est pn oducer and has the same voice
in the management. “He is no longer
the little man and on account cf his
condititn forced to accept, a worse
pxiee than hh rich and powerful
neighbor. The skilled ninths he has
working for him .in his marke'hg
association are just as ze.lous for
his welfare as that cf his impirtant
neighbor.
‘■The farmer who standing alone
ran be broken across the knee of
competition, when bound up wi.b
hundreds oi others by the common
Ooiw cf their marketing agreement,
k r.ble t o mock at all of them.”
The Danish farmer has learae ’
team work through the intlnonre of
this constant meeting with his fel
lows, and the jealousies and ?uspi
vionfi so common among farmers have
been overcome; feeling that he has
a voice in the direction of great af -
faire 3iupi.es anew confidence in
himself and tig neighbors.
So wo have really three outstand
ing explanations of the condition of
the farmer in Denmark. Be practices
co-operation. He owns his farm, and
he goes to school.

street, in the heart of the Chicago
stockyards, forty-nine years ago.
His father, “Bull” Rankin, was a
blacksmith, town bully, off-and-on
prizefighter and a drunkard. His
mother was an outcast. He was
reared in filth, disease and igno
rance and at 11 became a “killer’s
assistant” in the steer pens of the
stockyards. Because he didn’t kill
fast enough his boss stubbed him
and Tom was taken to a nearby
hospital. Stubborn, hruLil of in

and upon his release whs “pre

farm hand by a family named Tay
lor. He rose before dawn and
worked until long after duak ftt a
monthly stipend of *l2 and keep,
but his life was made mellow and

ment of the Taylors, especially
Mrs. Taylor. Encouraged to save,
praised for his work, watched oyer
and educated by the farmer’s wife,
young Rankin grew to manhood.
When he was 35 years old he had

year the Taylors died of diphtheria
