FARMING POSSIBILITIES.
Farming is not the life for an ambitious man, says a Home writer ; it is not, it seems fo me, a business which can commend itself to the man who must work and work and worryin order to leave his children provided for ; but there is truth in the argument that for the man who has only a little capital to invest, and who wants to live comfortably on the income from such capital, farming offers many advantages. I am firmly convinced that by a carefully organised system of co-operation the whole face of British agriculture might be changed. Consider the case of Denmark, as set forth in a recent report from the British ConsulGeneral at Copenhagen. Co-opera-tive dairies and butter factories, export associations among farmers, and above all, a most energetic Royal Agricultural Society, are responsible for a great increase in trade —the export of eggs, for instance, has risen from about £200,000 in the eighties to over £850,000 in 1899, while the export of butter in 1901 was 110,000 cwts more than in 1900.
