In the olden time when the most OF
US moved along on oxomobiles and

the doctor; but when We sse one now,
a-days we nearly all agree that it is
the neighbours hired man. -.
There was = time when machine
agents we're running q race all over
the country telling farmers how cheap
they could cell their machinery, and
the farmers did for fact reap some
benefit from it,, as there always was
more or less competition. But this
now belongs to the past, since the IL
transitional Harvester G ). was estab.
lished. They simply ait in their Of.
nee and smoke their Gig rs until we
farmers come and tell them our wants
and listen to their uniform price.
The cattle buyers, who used to run
around the country TO look at our
stock and bid over each other, don't
do that any more; they don't have 10.
They have things in such shape that
they can occupy their easychairs till
we farmers come in and ask them il
they will please come out and look ct

ship all our grain without going near
