THE FACTORY THE FARMERS
ALLY. ~ %

-
ALLY. n S
The farmer more than any other man
should be interested in the establish
ment of factories and manufacturing
establishments In his neighborhood.
Factories mean consumers for the farm
products, and the nearer the consumer
Is, to the producer the better for the
producer. The establishment Of any
manufacturing concern employing 100
hands In community now destitute
OF factories will raise the value OF all
farm lands contiguous in an amount
more than sufficient to build and equip
such factory. That farmer is a natural
born fool who looks upon corporate ef.
fort and corporate organization as evi.
dence Of monopoly to be opposed and
zfoughAin every possible way. Corporate
effort has made America great, has
developed our greatest industries and
given value to our unparalleled re.
sources. What the farmer wants are
mouths to eat the food he raises-not
SO much mouths In Europe or some
faraway country as mouths right al
homnand he can just as well afford ia
pay a premium to get new mouths ia

to undergo the test recently. and Of
these no less than 81 responded. These
cows were kept under the very best

sion is being arrived at in England
that milk is one Of the most dangerous

A very marked change comes over
the bird and animal life of country
as it becomes occupied by man and
settled. Nearly all birds and animals
native to such country in it's wild
state will disappear, and their places
will be in a measure taken by types
which are part of the white mans
civilization. The period between the
years 1870 and 1885 witnessed the en-
tire destruction Of the passenger pi-
geon and the buffalo, countless num-
bers of which were swept out Of
existence by merciless white mans
civilization. All game birds and the
wild fowl are In slower manner. but
none the less surely, going the same
way. and only the most rigorous laws
will prevent the extinction Of nearly
all our song birds. 1t is poor COM
pensatton that we have the sparrow
and the crow to take their places.
