pay him from so to 200 per cent more
for the trees and plants than they could
be bought for Of some reliable nursery
man and the nurseryman would be sure
to furnish them true to name while the
peddler seldom II ever works the same
territory two years in succession and Is
principally interested in collecting his
high-priced bills Every farmer should
take some good agricultural newspaper,
which he can readily get at less than 2
cents week, or even less than that by
it with the local paper which he
takes, and he will be sure to md adVer-
tlsements of reliable nurserymen who
will furnish him better trees and plants
at One-hah to One-fourth the prices usu-
ally charged by the tree peddlers. II
there is no nearby nurseryman that ad-
vertises then write a postal card to the
nearest one that does advertise, for HIS
catalogue and prices. He will tell you
what varieties are best adapted to your
locality and will deliver the trees and
plants, prepaid by mail or freight at your
postoffiCe or nearest railway station for
enough less than the tree peOuler will
charge you to pay your subscription for
q good agricultural paper for several

SCALE sHRINKERs.

One Of the recent and most deceptive
methods Of cheating farmers is by using
what is called a scale shrinker. It is a
small affair made Of hardened steel and
is slipped over the bearing that supports
the beam In such a way that 1t will have
the effect to lengthen the beam and make
the scale weigh less than 1t should. 1t
can be adjusted so as to make the scales
cheat Ave or ten pounds in hundred and
the farmer may be satisfied that ne Is
being cheated and yet not be able to de-
tect this little joker that Is swindling
him. It can be slipped out SO quickly
and Is so small that 1t will not be OBJ
served by any one not an expert in its
use.
Farmers should have farm scales of
their own so that they can weigh on their
own scales stock and other products
which they buy and sell; then they can
detect fraud and dishonest weights in
other scales, One of the meanest frauds
In the world Is cheating in weights.
Some dealers might offer little higher
price for the farmers hogs or grain, and
then expect to make 1t and more back by
shrinking the weights. If the farmer
could weigh at home on his own scales
he could detect any such swindling in
Weighing at the place where he bought
or sold and he might thus be able to save
in a year two or three times the cost of
putting In a set Of farm scales

TREE PEDDI.ERs.

Farmers should be constant planters
OF trees for fruit, for shelter and for Or
nament. But care and caution should
always be used in obtaining the trees
for planting on their farms. 1t is not nec-
essary to warn the farmers that the an
nual and persistent tree peddlers are
abroad In the land They are as sure to
come round as the seasons, and with their
highly colored pictures and luscious sam
pies OF bottled fruits and oily, smoothly
told stories will catch many farmers with
orders for high priced trees That will be
quite likely to prove double disappoint-
ment in the end because of the high
prices paid for them and the poor fruit
they will produce in the event that they
live to ever produce any fruit at all. Mil
lions Of dollars are wasted annually by
high prices that are paid for worthless
fruit trees and plants.
One OF the best ways to guard against
swlndles Of this kind Is to let the fruit
tree peddler severely alone, Somebody
mas to pay him for his trouble and ex-
pense In travelling over the country, and
person who can talk as smoothly and
fippantly as he does is no cheap man.
The farmers who give MIN orders have
to pay this expense for they generally

obtain.

In the table giving the record Of SEN
ators on important measures before the
special session Of the legislature, Sen
ator Anderson, Of Shawnee County, is
reported as not voting on the Bush cor
pOration bill. Senator Anderson voted
for the bill, and readers Of the Advocate
and News who preserve the tables are
requested to make this correction. SEN
ator Anderson says Of the bill, and in
this he voices the sentiment Of many Of
his Republican colleagues in the legls-
lature: II think it one OF the best mea-
sures presented to the legislature"
In relation to his vote on the telegraph
bill Senator Anderson says: Il voted
against the telegraph bill for the reason
that II the tolls were reduced in Kansas
the telegraph companies will get together
and raise the rates on interstate business,
over which we have no control, and the
business community will pay the bills"
He might have added that the telegraph
companies will further retaliate by re-
ducing the salaries, giving inferior SER
vice and in other ways detrimental to
the interests Of the people. The only
good that can come out of the telegraph
bill is that It may lead the people to see
the advantages Of government ownership
Of the telegraph.
