PRICE THREE CENTS.

klCE THREE CENTS.
royalty which he can amass colossal for
tune in q few years If the article proves of
merit enough to sell well; the manufacturer
makes handsome profit he pays agents
a liberal commission to wholesale dealers,
who employ agents again to sell to retail
ers, and each one has profit to add to the
cost, and freights, carriage and other ex-
penses must be added, which will finally
bring the price to the consumer up
to obout three times the original cost.
And SO regular must this routine of trade
be observed that the farmer who cultivates
the field next to the pillow mandatory, cam
not go to the shop and buy pillow any low
er than he could If it passed through four
or five hands, and had paid freight over a
half dozen railroads, because they will not
undersell their own agents.
If Patrons of Husbandry can by COM
bination obtain such special rates as to pro-
cure their goods at the mandatory at the
price at which they are sold to the first
agent with only the cost of transportation
added, / shall allow that they have achieved
some good, although, / have not approved
of them, from the fact that have been led
w UeicNc thdt they were u sDTI OF TRADES
union" for farmers alone, and / have al
ways looked upon such organizations as
being like Ishmael, with their hands raised
against every man and with every mans
hand raised against them. But if by unit
ing for the purpose of buying what they
need they can make themselves appear OF
sufficient Importance to induce manufac-
turers to deal directly with them, instead
of with spectators and brokers, and can
thus get their goods at cost price, or can in
such combination establish a uniformity
of price for their produce which shall pre-
vent each one from trying to undersell the
other, or in other words, shall make them
selves partners instead of rivals, | shall
think they are doing well, and if they do
not try by their combination to raise prices
beyond the point to which they will be nat
urally carried by the laws OF supply and
demand, shall wish them the best OF luck.
The fault of these trade unions has been
that they have been so anxious to gain their
own rights, or what they thought as such,
that they have been led to ride rough shod
over the rights of others. For this reason
/ have looked with distrust upon this or
ganization, fearing it would follow the ex-
ample of the "striking" operatives and mi.
ners. But will give them this much of
credit. So far as / have been able to learn
of them from the papers, they have so far
avoided these faults, and if they will con-
fine their efforts to the point of trying to
obtain their goods of the manufacturers at
the fair cost of manufacturing, and to sell
their goods to the consumer at fair market
rates, hope they will prosper even more
in the future Than in the past
Does it seem strange to any one that the
prevailing epidemic among horses seems
to be more severe upon horses which are
we'll kept and we'll cared for than among
the poorer kept and poorer groomed ami
mails? 1t does not seem so to me. 1t may
be that have mistaken ideas; but it seems
to me that the manner in which many peo-
pie take care of their horses is calculated
to do them injury rather than good, espec-
tally with such disease as this. They
blanket them nights when in warm stable
and when they drive out they let them stand
unblanketed, or with blanket thrown over
the back, but not drawn across the chest
and lungs, or they drive with a blanket on.

left to stand half hour while they are in
store. Is this right2 Do you put on your

have two cid horses which have had
the distemper, and they have both worked
every day and have not lost meal yet, nor
have they had any medicine. When it was
round before, had five sick with it, two
of them (being the horses kept as carriage
horses by the farm owner) quite sick i; but
gave no medicine excepting a little aeon
lite once or twice, and all recovered quickly
and got well over il, while others horses
in the neighborhood that had the services
of skilled veterinary surgeons we're sicker
than mine, and those which did not die did
not get into thriving condition in all win
ter. The treatment was calculated to give
them likely chance to take cold after it,
and cold taken with this disease was as
bad as cold with the measles. My treat
ment was to keep warm in the stable, bat not
too warm exercise very moderately feed
sparipgly; avoid all drafts and chills after
exercising. and keep clear of medicine if
possible. s...
Now throw the hogs all the feed they can

be SAID Of fattening cattle. Plenty to eat
in such variety as will best insure a good
appetite; a soft, dry, bed and uniform tenn
perature, not too warm or too cold, with
perfect quiet and cortentment, will fatten
