, "{\"source\":\"Co-operation in Danish Agriculture\",\"author\":\"Harald Faber\",\"year\":1918,\"quote\":\"A plan for improving the butter made from the milk from peasant farms by collecting the milk to be worked at one place was submitted to the Royal Agricultural Society of Denmark as early as 1852, and it pointed out that this could be done on co-operative lines, the peasants being the owners of the factory and sharing the proceeds.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"Co-operation in Danish Agriculture\",\"author\":\"Harald Faber\",\"year\":1918,\"quote\":\"It was the Danish peasants themselves who found a practical way of developing the dairy industry, and they found this by applying the co-operative principles introduced by the Rochdale weavers. They received no support and only lukewarm sympathy from large farmers and estate owners, until later on when the co-operative dairies were doing so well that even owners of estates with two to three hundred cows found it to their advantage to close their private dairies and to join co-operative dairies.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"Beekeeping: A Practical Guide\",\"author\":\"Richard Bonney\",\"year\":1993,\"quote\":\"How many of you have been in a classroom or a training program where the instructor says at the outset, \\u201CLook at the person on your right; now look at the person on your left. One of you won\\u2019t be here next year.\\u201D Beekeeping is like that. Furthermore, not all beekeepers are truly beekeepers. Some are beehavers.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"The Monied Metropolis\",\"author\":\"Sven Beckert\",\"year\":2001,\"quote\":\"On February 10, 1897, at the tail end of the most severe economic depression the United States had experienced in the nineteenth century, 700 merchants, industrialists, bankers, and professionals assembled at New York\\u2019s Waldorf-Astoria for a costume ball. [...] Caroline Astor had gems worth $250,000 sewn into her dress. Cornelia Martin, not to be outdone, wore a necklace once owned by none other than Marie Antoinette herself. [...] the rooms themselves were decorated to resemble the great hall of Versailles [...] threats of bombs kept not only New York\\u2019s police but also a hired army of Pinkerton detectives on alert, watching \\u201Cfor thieves or for men of socialistic tendencies.\\u201D As a further precaution, the first-floor windows of the Waldorf Hotel were nailed shut.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"The Rodale Book of Composting\",\"author\":\"Deborah Martin and Grace Gershuny\",\"year\":1992,\"quote\":\"Earthworms. If bacteria are the champion microscopic decomposers, then the heavyweight champion is doubtless the earthworm. Pages of praise have been written to the earthworm, ever since it became known that this creature spends most of its time tilling and enriching the soil.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"War is a Racket\",\"author\":\"General Smedley Butler\",\"year\":1935,\"quote\":\"There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making. Hell\\u2019s bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"Root Cellaring\",\"author\":\"Mike and Nancy Bubel\",\"year\":1991,\"quote\":\"What is not so widely acknowledged is that the soil in which your plants grow can influence the keeping quality of the vegetables you harvest. According to studies reported in E. P. Shirakov\\u2019s \\u201CPractical Course in Storage and Processing of Fruits and Vegetables\\u201D, abundant potash in the soil promotes long storage life of fruits and vegetables grown on that soil.\"}"
, "{\"source\":\"Angora Goats the Northern Way\",\"author\":\"Susan Black Drummond\",\"year\":1985,\"quote\":\"Because of its long wearing qualities and resistance to soil, mohair was once a major upholstery fabric in this country, and was the seat cover material in many cars and in British Railroad seats. The synthetic fiber craze put an end to mohair use as upholstery fabric here.\"}"
