newer lands could not be made to take the whole

This new farmer has not satisfied himself merely

established in firm world relations. In the past
hapess years he all but isolated the prairies

traffic currents were known. Means of transpor-

away; and So matter what the volume of a crop,
there little profit in it for the grower.

indeed fulfilled the aspiration attributed to
Increase Mather when he wished to become presi-
dent of Harvard College: to mold not merely the
teaching, but the teachers-non Ldp1des doIore, sed
drchitectos.
Through him there doubtless came the o ambi-
tion if such you call it, to write good English and
to have something to say. AS to whether anyone
can know with security during his lifetime whether
this ambition has been attained. that is quite
another matter. The next generation must attend
to that, and will set aside with little mercy the
judgment of preceding courts. The author must
write for the pleasure of writing or tor some aim
higher than pleasure; and can honestly say that 1

1t is, however, of great Importance that the
literary should have some other interest which
takes him from his study and brings him face to
face with other men; and it is therefore most de-
sirable that he should if possible, be reformer and
that he should have some natural gift taste for
public speaking. In this respect, also, my life has
been fortunate one, and has connected me closely
with several important reforms; especially those
relating to the emancipation and instruction OF the
colored race, and the education and entranch1se-
ment of woman. So far my ambition, 1t such 1t
was, has been very highly gratified.
This is all, yet is it not enough for happiness!

the service of the people, upon terms that would
leave something in profits for the shippers. 1t would
be foolish say that this struggle over; but the
of the farmer is making steady gains. 1t is
too much to say that the railroads and the peo
pie coming to pretty fair understanding of
their common dependence.
Aside from railway extension, there has come
another change in conditions. The markets for farm
products are moving closer and closer to the
heart of the farming country. The growth of the
great packing industry in the Missouri Valley illus
trates this 1t is longer necessary for the prairie
breeder to ship his stock to Chicago or remoter
points. The markets at Omaha, Kansas City, and
elsewhere IN the West quite good; and the
establishment of stockyards at these points, with
their unfaing demand for choice Stock makes mar
kets for grain and forage crops.
Getting Primary Markets
THE growth of this industry is being paralleed
by others. The prairie folk are now intent upon
building primary markets for all their products in
their country. Of old there was no outlet
for prairie grain crops by way of the northern
milling centers, through Chicago, or New York,
Baltimore, other Atlantic ports. To-day there
are several sturdy initial markets the Missouri;
and throughout the grain growing regions is ever
increasing multitude of cooperative elevators owned
and operated by the farmers themselves. What

there IS no higher ambition
than to serve the people,
not as leaders, but as repre-

their policies and enabling
them to realize their aspira-
