The Farm.
A HUGE CO-OPERATIVE UNDERTAKING.
Co-operative efforts have proved enormously successful in Scotland. An illustration has recently beengiven of their success by the opening at Edinburgh of what will in the futu’ e be known as the Chancelot Florr Mills. These mills (says the correspondent of a Home paper) hive been erected by the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society at a cost of nearly £IOO,OOO. The distributive co-operat-ive societies connected with the wholesale society purchase annually 180,000 bags of home millers’ flour, the addition of flour-milling to their numerous other industries under these circumstances was natural. The pile now built has been equipped in such a manner that it will hold rank as one of the finest and most complete roller flour mills in the kingdom. For the present the machinery will overtake an output of 25 sacks an hour, but this can be increased to 40 if it should be necessary. There is also storage accommodation for nearly 50,000 sacks. The building is five storeys in height, and is so situated that the Caledonian and North British Railways have both access to it.
