Industrial freedom. [volume] (Edison, Wash.) 1898-1???, 1898-09-24

The Harmony colony will be an as
ISOLATION owning land and capital to
be handled comparatively under such
system as will give the greatest lib
erty to the individual. 1t will allow
those who so desire, to hold land DUR
ing their natural lifetime and work
same as they see fit. If obtained from
the association no more than 10acres
can be had by a single individual or
family at present. AS experience is
a good teacher, doubtless this amount
will be increased or diminished.
Those who desire to work their land
comparatively may form a group and,
collectively, have the same rights as
the individual.
Complete individual autonomy will
be recognized by the association in so
far as the individual does not abuse his
liberty by infringing upon the rights
and peace of others: does not ieopar-
die the health or. best interests of
the community or make him or her
self nuisance.
1t Is the intention of the colony to
cooperate only in such things as are
found profitable at first, but its ulti-
mate aim will be full cooperation.
Some of the enterprises which we
think will be paying from start to
finish we will divide into two classes:
Those not requiring an outlay of cash
and those requiring cash invest
ments. OF the one we will consider
~ stock raising. Many people own
cattle, sheep, horses and hogs, who,
perhaps, have not cash sufficient to
enter a colony but would put in stock
as so much capital: and by the asso
citation owning pasture lands and
raising feed to winter the stock a
handsome income could be built up.
Cattle, horses and sheep make their
living on the public domain at Har-
mony, and sheep require but little
feeding. They get exceedingly fat in
the summer. A community of 100
families would soon put themselves in
shape to proftably use all the wool
they could produce. (2) Dairying
can be pushed with hut little outlay
of cash. (3) An apiary would be
profitable, and our president, Mr.. S.
NJ. Dunn, is a practical bee raiser,
having thirty-odd stands of honey
az The poultry business can likewise
be opened without any outlay of cash
except for feed the first year, after
which feed should be raised on our
own ground. Turkeys do splendidly
here and they are driven to market
like cattle. Several hundred are
driven from Harmony each fall to
market.
OF the other class, we will mention:
~ a creamery. BY the use of the
silo at least three crops of clover can
be cut each season. A silo can be
built with a small outlay OF cash by
all hands pitching into work on it.
Cows can be had from all directions
as capital, so that little or no money
need be expended for cows. ~ Al
flour mill. (3) A small saw mill. al
a small evaporation. (5) a small
WOODEN mill. These all appear to us
quite practical and proftabl1.
When we tell you Mr.. Dunn raised
a cucumber over six feet long, and
any amount of people will testify to
it, we do not think any one will doubt
but the individual can raise garden at
Harmony to his hearts content
Those desiring to come to this colo
ny should first come and see, but those
who cannot come should send their
the secretary, \. Il. McDon- |
aid, whose present p. O. address is
Newaukum, Wash.
We would like to start a fund at
once to pay a 800 mortgage which
will secure deed to 40 acres well i'm |
proved land in the heart of our site.
Write for particulars, with post
age, to
a. I. MCDONALD, Secy.,
Newaukum, Wash.
How proud we shall be when we
