IH'ICUI. TO TUC WOULD. I llruiNEitP, Minn., Deo. la The experiment with co-opcratlvo furmlng, known as the Crow Wing County scheme, ts a pronounced a failure. This Is the plan which was approved by the Knights of Labor and of which so much has been expected. Tho cuterprlae was begun under nattering prospects on n largo tract of land In tho southern part ot this county ubout Hay Lake. Tho land was good uruvelly loam, with scattering or scrub-oak timber. Near at hand, also, was plenty ot pine aud other wood. A saw mill was put up which was expectod to pro luco lumber for largo buildings. Hut none of tho proj ccti proved successful, and after tno years' ef forts the leading members of the colony have per manently disagreed, and all but one, Mr. Itaukln, have departed. The Sheriff a few days ago sold tho mill under foreclosnre. Mr. ltsnkln and Mr. Young, with their families, arc members ot the Presbyterian Crimen, and for somu time, uficr Mr. Young Joined lho colony lait spring everything went along smoothly, the two families being ou Intimate terms. Heversl weeks ago all this was changed to a state ot open rebellion au uroond. Mr. Yonng bad managed the co operative sawmill at the farm during the season, and Mr. llsnkln claims that be Is not a capable mill man, as he represented himself to be, and that the resnlt has been that very little lumber was manufactured. Mr. Youug claims, that Mr. llsnkln has not accounted for money colleoted on aabscrlptlons and douatlona. and has not Invested It on the farm. Mr. lUnkln claims on the contrary, that he has carefully ex pended the money for the benefit of the enterprise and has meantime depended for his own expenses on contributions made by his sons, who are print ers, employed at Minneapolis. All the other mem bers Joined Mr. Young In leaving Mr. llsnkln Hone at the farm, and there does nut seem much llktU .nQoaoItaoenwprUe gaia getting upon itifiti.
