Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Co-Operation in Agriculture In 1895 the author tried to call attention, in an article entitled "Co-operation in Agriculture," which appeared in the October number of the Contemporary Review, to the advantages to be secured by the application of co-operative methods to Agriculture - the introduction and extension of which he has witnessed in more countries than one from their very beginning. Since that time Co-operation in Agriculture has made great strides indeed abroad. In England its progress has been much less rapid. But with the coming into force of the Small Holdings Act the conviction has been brought home to many that it must be taken up. Under such circumstances a book reviewing the various applications given to Co-operation in Agriculture, by the light of the small beginnings that, under the inspiration of the Agricultural Organisation Society (of the Executive Committee of which the author has been a member since the time of its formation) and otherwise, have been made in this country, and of the much wider experience gathered abroad, may appear not out of place. The present book does not pretend to be an exhaustive Encyclopaedia on its subject, or to lay down formulated rules and directions to be followed; much less does it pretend to deal with purely technical questions, of dairying, poultry keeping, and so on. Its object is simply to give a general outline of what has been accomplished, with the addition of such suggestions for the adoption of cooperative methods as occasion may appear to call for. Having been for a considerable time Chairman of the International Co-operative Alliance, and in constant close contact more particularly with the Unions and Federations of Agricultural Co-operative Societies, abroad and at home, the author, who has been described as "le cooperateur le plus repandu," may be thought not to be presuming too much in offering such a conspectus.
