PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
OHIO STATE BUSINESS AGENCY.
IContinued from last week

cent per pound is too much to pay for hand
ling and marketing the wool for patrons.
1t can and must be done for less. One and
fi~ve-eights of a cent per pound should anu
will be a full compensation, and will feel
satisfied it can and will be handled for that
and perhaps less, and at the same time well
pay the man who has charge of it.
Our remedy is for Patrons of Ohio n ad-
Joining states to unite and cooperate to-
gether as one, and exercise a little patience
and not be so ready to run to the local deal
er and publish our grievances so hastily.
Let us be our own counselors, and keep
our own errors to ourselves, and correct
them within ourselves, as our enemies learn
enough and gather enough weapons in their
hands to use against us, or accomplishing
their ends. Let us show our firmness and
our determination to succeed. DO not
weaken, but let us strengthen up and go to
work i'm a business like Let us Or
ganize at once a Patrons Cooperative Wool
Association, with a capital of sufficient
amount to insure funds sufficient to do the
business of the Order. Organize with a cap
ital sufficient to add credit to the association.
Put shares at ten dollars each. This will
let them know you mean business and IN
tend to be on hand in time for the coming
season. And we believe there are Patrons
enough to be found who will put money in
at q fair rate of interest to make it a sue
cess; and when organized, establish q wool
depot in some central point OF the wool
growing country. If house is established
In Ohio, Cleveland, GAINESVILLE or Column
bus, or som other good point which might
be selected; you need have no fears about
manufacturers not finding you. They are
ready to cooperate with you; and when such
a house is established, they will not only
purchase your wool at the same price they
pay the Eastern men, but will also place
their goods in these houses to be sold to Pa
irons at first prices. With a house of this
kind Patrons shipping can with a little eX-
pense visit the house and witness the grad
ing of their own, and see that they get a
"fair COUNT and thus be satisfied, and then
they need only wait till the price reach
their views TO sell and receive their money.
In addition to the business of Patrons, a
large business can and will be done with
those who are not Patrons, and at such per
cent that would assist largely in paying the
expenses of the house, and thus reduce the
cost of selling the wool of Patrons.
AS to Bro. Ships operations, from ex-
animation of his books and the statements
received from Coats Bros, we can not see
where any complaints can be entered
against him, unless that he has rot been pa
tronized as he deserved to be. We are in
possession of a report OF his entire operations.
He has forwarded to all Patrons shipping to
him except one,- the amount received less
the charges, with a statement of account,
which if mot satisfactory, can be compared
with statement in our hands. The excep-
ton is w. I'll. Cooker, whose address he
does not know, but whose funds are in our
hands for delivery.
Bros. Allen, Slultz and Scott, our stock
agents at the Union Stock Yards in Cincin-
natl O., received and deposited in bank,
$120,000 for stock sold last week. This
does not include purchases made for ship
ment. Just think of the increase! The
sales last week alone We're one-half as large
as the entire business last year. Every Pa
tron shipping stock to the Union Stock
Yards should ship to the care Of these pop
ular Grange Stock Agents, who always OBJ
tain the highest market price for stock sent
them. and help to swell their business to
over 100000 a week. The more Patrons
Increase our business, the greater will be
