A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.
Consolidation of Harvester Plants
Means tho Continuation of Low
Prices TO Buyers,

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 a large portion of
the farming community.
The economical necessity of a con-
solidation of the interests of manu-
facturers and those of their farmer
customers must be apparent to any
one who understands the present sit
uation.
The increased and increasing cost
of material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence of ex-
trcme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agcnts-has made the business
Improbable. .
The two alternatives left for tho
manufacturers were either the in
creasing of the prices of machines
or the reduction of the cost of man
ufacture and sales. The latter could
only be accomplished by concentrat-
ing the business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not a stock
jobbing operation, but a 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
offered to the public, it having all
been subscribed and paid for by the
manufacturers and their associations.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well-known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
IT. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair.
man Finance Committee, George w.
Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold T.
Mccormick, James Deering, VIM. II.
Jones and John J. Glessner; Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Richard T. Howe.
The members of the Board of Di-
rectors are as follows: Cyrus Bent
ley, William Deering, Charles Deer
ing, James Deering, Eldridge NJ. Fow-
Ter, Z. II. Gary, John j. Glessner,
Richard f. Howe, Abram M. Hyatt,
William IL. Jones, Cyrus III. McCor-
mick. Harold F. Mccormick, George
w. Perkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie
N. Ward, Paul d. Cravath.
The international Harvester Com.
pany owns five of the largest har-
vester plants in existence, The Cham
pion, Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-Plants that have been pro-
ducing nearly or quite 30 per cent.
of the harvesting machines of tho
world.
It also owns timber and coal landS
blast furnaces and a steel plant; it
has a new factory in process of con-
struction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducipg grain, grass and corn har-
vesting machines will be so reduced
that the present low prices can be-
continued, and that consequently the
results cannot be otherwise than
beneficial to the farmer. To main
tain the present prices of these ma
chimes means to continue and in
crease the development of the agri-
culture of the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can con-
tribute more to this development
than the cheapness of machines for
harvesting grains

CHAPTER VI.

Charlotte Farnham's friends were
wont to say of her that she was as
sensible as she was beautiful She
was, as Griswold had guessed, of New
England lineage. Her parents had
migrated for the health of the wife,
but the migration had been post
poned too long. The mother died in
the early Minnesota days, but the
daughter lived to grow up unspoiled
and beautiful.
She had been spending the winter
at Pass Christian with her aunt, who
was an invalid; and for the invalid's
sake the return passage was taken
uu the "Belle Julie" On the morning
of the second day out, when the New
Orleans papers came aboard. the two
of them were sitting in the shade
of the hurricane deck aft. Charlotte
bought paper and read the account
of the bank robbery with a little
gasp of belated horror.
"What is it, Charlotte?" asked the
invalid.
Charlotte read the reporters story.
"Dear me! How shockingly bold!"
commented Miss Gilman.
sYes; but that wasn't what made
me gasp, The paper says: a young
lady was at the teller's window
Aunt Fanpy, ! was the young lady "
"You? Sorrors!" calculated the
Invalid.

Suitable Food for Ducks.

Ducks, like hens, eat great variety
of food, yet because the duck has no
distinct crop the food is passed more
directly to the digestive organs, II Is
therefore very important that the
food be consumed in a soft condition.
In nature the duck gathers most Of its
supply from streams, ponds, or
marshy places, This food, says Wat
sons Farm Poultry, consists Of grow
ing shoots and roots Of water plants,
snails and the larvae of various in
sects, together with small fish aud
other aquatic life. Successful duck
raisers have learned valuable lesson
from nature and give young ducks 40
hard food.

The junior eight has been made up follows

The club had senior eight last year, but this
year there is a strong sentiment in favor of one
and its probable makeup is: Bow. I. b. Mercan-

The bow and No. are the last two positions to be
fixed upon. and some change is possible although
not probable All of the men named old and
tried oarsmen with good records to their credit
and the expectation is that they will make a good
showing for the club. G. Beck, jr, will also MI
the position Of coxswaiu in this crew.
In addition to these crews the club will have
out the senior four that crowned series of vic
tories by capturing the Newark Hail Cup for the
third time last year, making 1t the property Of
