What the Farmers Ca,. Prore.

Editor Fergus Falls Advocate:
PARKER's PRAIRIE, Dec. 81, l87S.-Sm;
We see a good deal is being said by the
papers about sThe Little Brass Kettle.o The
St. Cloud Journaz-Press says, "The farmers
themselves should also investigate the mat
ter" and concludes tor them that they will
find out that it is only political cry and
little wool. The farmers of this town have
investigated, and are continuing to investi-
gate. as every load of wheat they draw to
market is conclusive investigation, and
they have found that it is not political crv.
as some of the 'journals" would have us be-
lieve in order to screen the ring and their
little brass kettle, but that it costs
the farmers from 10 to Is cents
on every bushel of wheat they draw
to market to investigate the little machine.
as they are abundantly able to prove.
Let's have the facts and figures in the
case: Ed Embretson, of this town, hauled
his wheat to Wadena, and the first load or
loads graded No. 1914 lbs.), on tester No.
l. Subsequently he delivered wheat that
graded 5712 pounds on tester No. 2, and
again Sc pounds on the same tester-No. g,
Now here is difference of 80 pounds on
the same wheat. Does this argue ANYTHING,
or not? We think it does, and the experience
of Mr.. Embretson is the experience of
almost every farmer in the town, and the
farmers of this section are going to
make a united effort to secure such
legislation as will protect them in the future
against one of the most barefaced swindles
Of modern times, and they ask the farmers
Of Otter Tail county to assist them in secur-
ing such legislation, and the farmers look to
