Making money under the mortgage

mortgages up hand and foot and con-
PEELED them to pay him any price he
had a mind to charge for a credit Of
some one to seven months 'accOmmo-
daton." We have seen -four sold to
mortgages at $3.50 a hundred, when
the man who had an open thirty &C
count was charged $3.50 for Identical
ly the same flour. In the case of the
mortgage the merchant had to wait
an average of ninety days for his mon
ey, and then had it almost absolutely
secured, while in the other case he
had to wait thirty days, and some
times he was "stoOd off" for thirty
days more, and never had any security
except the other mans promise to
pay. Fools are not born zone every

born all the time, and in great big
punches.

CIN-COMPRESSlNG.

It IS the desire of every farmer 10
have his cotton compressed at the gin.
It is one of the purposes and aims or
the Farmers Union to secure advance
ment and economy in the handling of
the cotton crop each year. The ques-
ton arises, (Which is the most feasl-
BILE, the cheap the readiest and the
best method Of the square bale and
round bale systems of gin compress
esq" And another question, too, real
ly the first for consideration, arises
(Which is the better method, the
round bale or square bale compress
sion?" Let us consider the round bale
proposition.
BY using the round-lap bale a light
cotton cloth covering is wrapped about
it, and sewed with a cotton threac.
This character of wrapping rurnlshe,
the market for our low grades Of cot
ton, that of imperfect staple, or that
is weather-stained The use of this
bale does away with jute bagging and
iron or steel ties, thus killing effectual-
ly two of the foulest trusts that exist
in America to-day, saving not less.
also, than 60 cents per bale In wrap
ping. So much for the character OF
bale.
The substitution of the round for
the square bale would necessitate the
substitution of the round gin compress
for the square ones. What will be the
gain by this substitution? There are
several patterns of roundbale gin
compresse made that are for sale In
the open market, so that there can
be no monopoly on that character OF
gin compress. The best quality OF
round-bale compress costs $1475, while
the square bale compress costs $500,
a saving in cost of s2o25, by no means
a small item.
Another thing, by gin compression
the railroads allow the ten cents per
hundred pounds Of the freight that
they have to pay to the public COM
presses along their lines, or twenty
five cents on each round bale weighing
$50 pounds, and this is worth to the
crop 100000. and just think what
So 100000 per annum in your pockets
would be to you, brother farmers.
1t is not the purpose of Co-Opera-
tor to enter into an elaborate discus
sion of this question of gin compress
ing and the better methods thereof in
this article. We only desire to present
few salient points, that the locals
may begin to think about and discuss
this question among themselves, as
questions of individual economics as
