FARM MACHINERY.

Inc TWO crying evils atuenuant upon tnlS
blessing(?) are, LIST, their cost; I'd, the
wasteful carelessness of farmers in handling
and preserving them. The cost is the
united work of the manufacturer, the jobber
and worst of all, the retailer. Unlike most
other articles of traffic, farm implements
have no fixed value, except in some instan-
ces, at the factory; when they leave that,
the price tiuctuates with the greed, the
sharpness, the dishonesty of the seller, and
the necessities or stupidity of the buyer.
Now and then one can find a man engaged
In the business, who has n reputation to
sustain, has money invested in the trade,
and deals fairly, as the world goes; but as
generally conducted, the traffic in farm ma
chinery is a reckless, Legitimate. scramble
after getting as much as possible by scala
ways, for ''there is no capital invested"
They get a jobber to trust them to a carload
of tools, and away they shoot into some new
place, where the country is settling rapidly,
hire a room, daub the building and fences
all over with fantastic pictures and adver-
tisements, talk large and wise of farming,
when they DOM know wheat from white
beans; daze the pumpkins with blarney
about their particular machine, and when
they induce them to buy, charge not only
the extravaganza commission allowed by the
jobber, but from five to forty per cent. more
on ~scalawag's own account, always clinch-
ing the trade with a warrant" which is
not worth a rush, and oftentimes pocketing
what funds they can get from sales, and
scuttling to some other country, to renew
the agricultural implement business" 1t is
a fact that this last game is more or less ex-
pected by manufactures and %jobbers, and
their prices to farmers for tools, are made to
cover such contingencies. By such means,
and others rs bad, does this merciless combi-
nation eat into our hard won dollars, until
some of our Western States are bankrupt in
consequence. Perhaps this is severe talk,
but it has one redeeming virtue, tits all true
rs every farm ncighborhood in the North
west can testify. There is a remedy for a
major part of this, thanks to the spread OF
knowledge, and easy, rapid communication,
all over our land. The antidote is-6uy on
ly of manufacturers, and enforce them by
combined power to sell at fair rates. This
is no myth, nc mere expectation, but in
many instances an accomplished fact. The
Order known as Patrons of Husbandry has
lone wonders in this matter, the last year,
and any united farming community can do
the M The difference between what we
have paid and what we will pay in the
future, if we are true to ourselves, as well as
to others, will pay all our taxes, and keep
us in go-to-meeting clothes, as long as we
may need them. But enough this time.

GATHERING FERN.

We gathered fern on The hillside
While the summer breeze did play
With every auburn rInglet
Tha, on her white neck lay.
Through the leafy interlseing
or the deep old woods so tall,
The summer sunset showered
Its beauty over all.
The clear and linpid brookle,
Ran nurmuring through the glade;
And The happy hearted soDgSiers
Sang in the woods dark shade.
As she stopped and picked the Preitlest
From beneath moss.eroSn tree,
And. bIushlng, gave and murmured
take this 10 remember me.
All YES, IN e'er remember.
While memory backward Turns,
That simple little token,
A fringlng leaf Of fern.
Given while love was budding
Within each youthful breast.
When both looked 10 the future.
TO The lime We should be blesL
For it speaks OF affection faithful.
OF heart so fond and uue;
I,speaks OF the hsppiesI hours
This lone heart ever knew.
The fern still waves in beauty.
On PoIOmsc's lovely shore;
Bot along that verdani hillside
We wander now no more.
For she's gone in her grace and beauty.
The fern is withered and sHown;
But .he promised. and HE future
Shall make swee, May my own.
