A Benefit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not been
considered by large portion of the
farming community.
The economical necessity of a cOnsOli-
dation of the interests of manufactur-
erS and those of their farmer custo-
merS must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The Increased and increasing cost of
material. manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturerS and their several selling
agentS-haS made the business unpr1f-
liable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the incrcas-
ing Of the prices of machines or the
reduction o: the cost of manufacture
and sales The latter could only he
accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily he seen. the forming
OF the Il Nv company was not Il stock
jObbing operation but Il centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets. There is no stock of

ing nearly or quite 30 per cent of the

struc:ion in Canada
1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain. grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be contin
ued. and that consequently the results
cannot be otherwise than beneficial to
the farmer. To maintain the present
prices of these machines means to con-
time and increase the development of
the agriculture of the world. for no one
cause has contributed or can contribute
more to this development than the
cheapness of machines for harvesting
grains.

a GREAT KANSAS FARM.
One Man Directs Cultivation on Forty

One Man Directs Cultivation ON Forty
Thousand Acres.
The agriculturist who carefully culti-
Yates forty or sixty or eighty acres and
calls it farm is likely to look upon
a quarter section"-the regulation
homestead Of 160 acres-as large es-
tate; an entire section "a mile square,
he would doubtless regard as tremen-
dous area, and q half dozen sections
would seem like a whole province.
What would such man think OF q
farm on which from 100 to $50 men are
employed; a farm whose furthest cor
ner is seventeen miles from the farm
house; farm that requires three book
Keepers and stenographers to make Q
record OF its activity?
That Is the scale on which NJ. NJ. Sher-
man conducts his farm in Central Kan

Mr.. Sherman Is now trying to devise
method Of plowing by power by the
use OF two engines, one at eitE er end Of
the field. propelling a cable between
them. to which the plows may be At
tached. He believes this to be the best
solution Of the blowing by power prob
lem, provided gasoline engine can be
made with sufficient weight to propel
the plows and still not be too heavy for
practical utility. In fact, every expert
ment which is made In the work Of the
farm Is commensurate with the size Of
the farm and Its crop. But nothing n

which the Sherman farm makes swings

B.aine's Reciprocity.

4 yoluminouS newspaper writer who
was actively engaged in promoting the
Ibero-American reciprocity scheme of
the late James G. Blaine. quotes that
statesman as follows: Don't reduce
your duties without requiring foreign
countries to ricprocate. Tell them that
we will take our duties off their goods
when they take their duties off ours.
Keep your tariff TO trade on"
To advertise such policy is about
as cunning and shrewd as was L. 5.
Grants horse deal in his boyhoOd days:
and if you will not take that am to
pay you S125."
Twice a Republican Congress not
only acted upon Mr. Blaine's advice but
improved upon it. 1t not only kept a
tariff TO trade on, but il made n tariff
to trade ON, first in 1890 and again in
1897.

of them as cared TO dicker with us
made as good tariffs to trade on as we
had.
Congress first put the duties as high
as the protectees had the face to ask.
Next it added 20 per cent TO trade on.
Finally it offered 10 knock off the 20
per cent in favor of such other coun-
tries as would make Il reciprocal knock

All this was done openly and other
