The rules are simple. Meetings are held four times a year for settling , ac counts. One provision is that coal is bought in bulk at wholesale and delivered to the members at cost, and other sup plies are furnished- in tbe same way at a co-operative store. The farm now con sists of 133 acres of rather light land, though there is fair pasturage. The stock kept consists of six horses 1G cows, HO' sheep, pigs, poultry, and a few fattening bullocks, Many of the members have quarter-acre allotments attached to their cottages, for which they pay a rent of 3d. a rod, or £2 an acre, free of all taxes and charges. This is only $2 50 for the ground, but, as these allotments are dug over with the spade, and highly fertilized, the yield is sufficient to support a small frugal family. The labourers have no desire to emigrate, and they have re mained on the place, unless they have died, until the present, that is 45 years, and they protest against all strikes. It is true they are poor and humble, but they feel contented, and so happy even, that they wish the labourers of every parish were as well situated.
