A Benefit to F,,rmera.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in
corporation of the international Har-
vester Company which took over tile
business of the five leadin. harvester
manufacturers have probably not bee;l
considered by a large portion of the
farming community
The economical necessity of consoli-
dation of the interests OF manufacture
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-las made the business unprof-
table
The two alternatives loft for the
manufacturers were either the infreas-
Ing of the prices of machines or tho
reduction of the cost of manufacture
and sales. The latter could only he
accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centerlng of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets. There is 10 stock Of
ferpd to the public. it having all been
subscribed and paid for by the manu-
fact'irers and their associates.

Harvester Company is in the hands of

by Katherine L. Conway, and was first
published in Donahoe's Magazine)

Yes. but where is a friend like you?
All that woman and man can be,
Lovers and comrades and friends were

Was there ever day when we were not
Had we ever a separate hope or fear?
Oh, can you, can you remember, dear?
Oh. I am tired of having you dead
Tired of waiting the word unsaid:
Tired of the night and tired of the day,
In the house that was home till you
