WHY the warehouse Bill should Pass.

For a number of years the tendency In
prices of grain has been downward and the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer IN the way of
commissions have become OF more and more
Importance to the producer. The reduction
of such charges to a minimum has become an
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
bv dealers In half dozen cities which are
reaching out for the gram business of the
west. The public warehouses have been
most important factor IN furnishing to the
farmers of Illinois broad and active mar
ket. This has been done without interior
ing with the business OF the country grain
merchants A system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory to
the country at large, but apparently Is not
satisfactory to a little coterle OF dealers on
the Chicago Board of Trade. This coterie
has attacked the proprletors of public ele-
vators on every possible ground and has de-
MED them the right IN common with other
grain merchants to buy and sell grain The
public Warehousemen Tor years lave dealt
III grain and the competition stimulated by
their position In the trade has been most
beneficial to the interests OF the farmer.
While the custom of warehousemen deal
ing In grain has been established by Gus
tom the Illinois statutes are silent as to their
rights and powers. The BIZ now In the leg
islature clearly defines their rights and
meets any objection which could be raised
to their acting N the capacity OF grain mer-
chants and warehousemen at the same time
The proposed legislation Is In the interests
Of the producers of grain throughout the
state and should be enacted. The opposi-
ton comes from the Chicago Board of Trade
PEOPLE who have been persistently fighting
The elevator interests for years. They have
raised the cry of monopoly and arc attempt
ing to discredit the warehouse bills. They
have made the most reckless assertions as
tn the prospective results under the pro-
posed law, while the fact Is that the law does
not contemplate any new order OF things,
but simply continuation of the system
which is familiar to the state at large. The
people leading the attack on the bill are
singularly inconsistent. Their objection to
a warehouseman dealing IN grain is that he
is placed in a position to discriminate be-
tween himself and other owners of grain
stored in his warehouse TO the prejudice
of the other owners. This objection is fully
met by the section which provides for su-
pe-vision of the warehouse business by the
state The Chicago Board of Trade less
than two years ago made a demand on the
warehousemen for just such supervision as
Is now contemplated, but which could not
be granted without a change IN the state
laws.

1t is ali very well to describe ideal
conditions. but il seems to me that more
good is often done in describing condi-
lions that are less than ideal, bat still
serviceable, practical and easily within
the reach of all.
With this end in view, j present a
sectional view of a homemade founda-
ton for manure heap in the open
air. which Will keep the manure in a
condition very nearly at its best. This
foundation is made just far enough
away from the stable to escape any
drip from the caves. 1t is made square
or round. as may be preferred, and has
rough stone wall about the outer
edge extending down below the frost
line. Within this, over the surface OF
the ground. are placed loose stones,
lowest in the center, as shown coat
OF cement, two inches thick, is placed
ever them, the surface thus being made
saucer-shaped.
To this foundation is wheeled the
manure from the cow and horse stalls.

from the pump by means of spout.
Cow manure IS considered cold and
slow TO heat, but it has been my ey-
Herienee that where ali the liquids are
saved with the solids. the mass is much
more likely TO heat. Where heat is
generated. and water can be turned on
as needed, decay viii take place very
