AxOTHEa VIEW.

The Cedar Rapids Times takes new
view OF the railroad tariff muddle,
which just now ahsorbs the average
Iowa mind, irrespective of race, color,
creed or previous condition Of servi-
tude, which is as follows, to-wit:
''The effect of the high rates OF
transportation to the East, thereby
shutting off the supply OF Western
bread stuffs, aud as a consequence
raising the prize Of provisions and
labor, will be to change toa considera-
BILE degree, the relations existing be-
tween the East and West, and make
the latter less dependent upon her
older and richer sisters. When the
increased cost Of labor shall make il no
longer profitable for manufactures la
the present situations, as continuance
of the present rates will, we may cx.
pect that new factories will spring up
near the cornfields OF the west, and
that instead OF the farmer paying the
freight both ways over one thcasand
miles Of railroad, we may expect to
see his produce consumed at his very
door"
This side of the question il respect
fully submitted to the Chinese Wall
School OF Protectionists, as being a
novel one, and worthy Of their con.
sideration.

One Of the best and most successful
farmers we ever knew, once told "a
that II was rule with him to always
have something TO sell, no matter what
the tiuie of year. In spring be always
had seed. grain Of some s0st-sample
wheat, oats, rye, barley, or potatoes
carrot seed. beet seed, salt pork, bank,
corned beet or fat stock Of some sort.
He had found that IL paid to take ex-
tth pains 70 have seed grains or vege-
tables on hand in the spring, Tor since
il had become known that he always
had these to sell, he found no difficulty
In selling all that he had At fair prices
lat prices that paid him for all the ex-
ira trouble and care In preparing and
preserving ,heln.
Another thing he said lie had found
useful TO hiu,, and lie did NOT under
stand why iarmUs did not practice 1t
more. Ii was that when he had stock
Of anything TO sell, he announced the
fact III the local newspaper, just a. the
grocers and merchants DO. He bad
found it profitable to purchase space
in the town paper by the year and bul-
ieiin HE products according 10 season
and stock on hand. Then It was part
tofhis creed to produce the best. HE
seed was pure and clean: his stock fht
and healthy. His ff1,it for sale YVES
always perfect; his butter was gilt
edged bis hams were s0gxr cured,
smoked just enough, aud families were
always glad to pay him two or three
eerts more per pound for them than
for those found at the gYoees.
lie laid great stress upon the advan-
tages Of home market for his pro-
ducts His local reputation AZ direct
producer was Of direct value to him.
He lahoredto keep II good first-class.
His grain did no, go in bulk to q grain
buyer who mixed it with interior
grades. Ii was sold TO the local miller
who could afford 10 IRy him more for
il than the specusator, because lie knew
il contained no screenings TO depreci-
ale its yaine Thus he always had
ready resources. When We asked II he
did not lind il more Difficult, TO save
money when il cafne 70 hfm in dFib-
bics, he replied no. Ii was 10 fnonn
difficult for him 10 save than for the
retail grocer or the merchant. He do
posted money III bank. and only paid
II sOutl IA tiAc sndpc VI tbCNA--NAOSpt
for personal expenses. While be sold
at retail, he bought as far rs practical
bic. at wholesale. He sold for each or
exchanged direct for something he
nee,led--he never trusted any man.
He also bought for cash, and always
had money on hsud with which be
could buy TO advantage. ,f.
Now this mode OF dealing, we are
aware, is not always practicable ! for
all farmers do not live near large cities
nor In popuious districts; but IL the
farmer adopts mixed system OF hus-
bandry, he may always have son,e-
thing to sell thar will meet local
want. And something TO sell Is what
the talme, isbors for. The best mode
OF sellin. is TN equally important con-
sideration: and Our own observation
proves that there is no more profitable
way than 10 try to supply all local de-
manis first, aud thea IL q distant mar
ket must be sought tor any surpluS.
! try TO pnt The surplus 10 the least bulky.

much less than st Whitfield or Bata-

can't rate here and the price OF a ca,
would be $3.50 Or $3.50 less than $50
the rate at Faifeld, and 30 cents les,
than the rate at Glendale; so the Of

the price of car at Whitfield $22.
