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.

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.

He owns his farm, and he goes to school. * ♦ ** y* * COLBERTS MILL * **• ***** We are having some dry weather in this community.
