Still Anothsr Mode of Binding

Perhaps there is no question of
more Importance to farmers than the
binding question. While the ques-
tion of making Irvine out of fax is
being agitated, another one has come
to the front. The state grange of Ill
offered prize of 100000 for sue
cessful and practical machine or at
tachment to bind grain with straw.
The committee has received applica-
tions from every state and territory
in the Union, also from Canada and
Scotland. Out of a number of inven'
tions offered, one was chosen, and the
$40, 600 offered for the invention, but
the owner refused the money as he
had refused much larger sums. This
machine binds grain much better
and does finer work than could be
done with bands made by hand, as it
has an extra attachment for short
straw that can be worked by The
drivers foot. This binder seems
perfect in all its parts more simple
and easier to work than the twint
binder. The knotter is not so deli
cate in construction, yet it does no
take up more room and is not as heav!
as the Irvine binder. This is ;
matter Of great Importance to TIT
grain raising farmers, they will no
be subject to the rapacity Of tn
trust, having plenty of material a
hand on the farm. The patentee i
arranging to bring his machine out il
February 1890, and will enter tn
grains field of the southern states an,
follow the harvest north. We viii
watch this new move
ment and keep the farmers poste
about its development from time t
time.

county bonanza farmer can raise
wheat cheaper with crew of help
than the smaller farmer who does his
own work, with the help of his own
family. Were these bonanza stores in
the cities to sell on the same small
margin that retailers in smaller towns
do, they would run just about as long
as did our Stevens county bonanza
farm. But the fact of it is, they get
much larger profit than the country
dealer. We will take by the way OF
an illustration, II suit of clothes. or
an overcoat, a cloak or shawl, that
the country dealer win sell 1--WE, will
sayA for $40, the season through.
Precisely the same article the city
dealer will sell for from $25 to 1875 in
the beginning of the season, but
towards the end, the city dealer will
come out with advertisements in
newspapers and pamphlets sent broad
cast through out the country, telling
how they have reduced all of their
$25 and $50 suits or overcoats, as the
case may be, to $40. all that the
country dealer ever asked for them
Remember that the city dealer gets
his goods from the same source.
namely the Wholesale houses East and
pays the same price for them that the
country dealer does. With this diff
ference the city merchant Is under
double, yes trehble the expense of the
country dealer. Hense it stands to
reason that the country dealer can
and does sell goods just as cheap. If
not cheaper, than the city chap. No
one anywhere does business either in
the city or country for the glory that
is in it but for the profit.

A scrap of paper. lying in the office
waste basket or blown along the
street, is an insignificant thing, and
no one gives it thought. Yet upon
such small bit of paper may depend
life or death, kingdoms and crowns,
health ard disease, comfort or annoy
ance, pleasure or pain. The death
warrant of the Queen of Scots was
but a small piece of paper: Magma
Charta was but sheet of it; the Dec
laration of independence was but a
scrap of paper; but how great their
influence for weel or woe. A "scrG p
of paper" is not much land yet it may
mean all the difference in the world
to us. A twenty or fifty dollar bill is
only scrap of paper, but it will buy
another scrap of paper-a ticket over

We were interested in a converse
that occurred few days ago between
a prominentsmeIc chant of Morris and
one of the proprletors of the new
hotel. The merchant inquired if the
hotel was to be papered, the answer
was, yes. The gentlemen then COM
menced, in a business way, to settle
on the prices of paper. The merchant
asked the proprietor if he would give
him half the price that the paper on
the court house cost, for the very
same quality of paper and the same
or any other pattern he-the proprie-
fortnight choose to select. We
began to wonder if some Sne in the
ring furnished the court house paper:
if so, some of the tax payers outside
the ring should investigate little.
We can give them some facts to start
with. The tax paying public IS a
patient animal that will endure al
most any amount of abuse before it
will kick.
It looks as though the effort to
start Irvine factory at Willmar will
be success. 1t is to have capital
of $4,000, and use fax fiber. A
movement of this kind would cast
considerable Of a shadow over that
bogus commission which made the
celebrated report regarding the man
