ropean goods will be rushed into the

Crop growing as connected with

rather complicated undertaking.

No man can tell another just what

There are signs on both sides O.

taking a LESSON from the success ol
the various combinations and
trusts of the t.me. In Germany
farming is now being conducted on
an immense scale, according to the
joint stock plan. Capitalists, in
deed, haye turned to farming as an
Investment for their money. They
buy or lease a number Of farms,
throw them into one and then run
them on the principles that have
made other stock enterprises SO
successful. They put them under
uniform management, buy the most
improved machinery, seed, animals,
etc, at wholesale rates, then, under
the superinteilc!ence of scientific
farmers. till the ground. Some
farms raise live stock altogether, a
few producing only sheep. but
thousands of these annually, which
supply the cities with mutton and
lamb. Beet sugar and potatoes
are the product Of other lands.
Thus by specializing, wholesale
purchase and taking advantage of
the most improved methods of
farming these combined capitalist
sarmers are enabled to raise the
greatest crops at the least cost.
In this country one agricultural
combination movement has taken,
shape as an organization composed
of farmers and manufacturers. It
is called the Farmers and Manu-
factul ers' Commercial league. It's
object is business, not politics, and
the intention of it's members is the
same as that of the great joint
stock farmers Of Germany-to get
the most at the least cost. It's
headquarters are in Chicago, and
branch offices are scattered thro'
various parts Of the middle and
western states.
In this newly formed league,
manufacturers on their part agree
through certain distributing agents
to place supplies, machinery, mer-
chandise, tools and other articles at
the service of the farmer at the
lowest cost. The farmer always
does supply his commodities to
consumers at the wholesale rate,
so that he has no call to lower his
prices. A further task of the
league will be to bring SO far as
possible producer and consumer
into direct communication with one
another, both in the mattor of
manufactured goods and OF the
farmers smaller crops.
