But why? Does "business" consist solely in a "heads-I-win, tails-you lose" game? Are we farmers simply draft oxen, to take what fodder the driver sees fit to throw in our man. gers and forbidden all voice in regard to it's quality or quantity? I don'c think we ought to be, and I don't think we must be. Of course, no one farmer can hope to control the produce mar kets of a big nation, any more than one broker can hope to control the stock market. But if even a respect able minority of us had half the fore sight and prudence and self-restraint which we ought to have, Es should soon find that our ideas would be sought after, as well as those of the buyers, in establishing a market price. It isn't necessary for a farmer to con trol all the potatoes or all the milk or all the eggs in the world to govern their market price. Suppose, for ex- ample. that New York city consumes ten carloads of potatoes a day. Sup pose the market price is fifty cents a bushel. Just as long as New York city has its ten carloads a day the price will stay about there. But if a lot of Connecticut and Maine and New York potato growers get rattled and begin pouring potatoes into New York at the rate of forty carloads a day. the price will drop, instanter, like a busted

One phrase that you hear constantly on the lips of some farmers is that about selling lat the market price" Now in a way 1t is absolutely neees- sary to consider the market prices. They're like the tollgates on a high way; you've got to consider them, when you come to them But-there is generally some other road which you can take which won't lead you up to a tollgate charging exorbitant tolls This market price" talk is often sim ply a form of that "hot, air by the ef- fusion of which interested buyers are able to get the better of us. It seems to me that any fair market price, would be one in the making of which buyer and seller should have equal voice. But the market price" which so many farmers have on their lips Is something about which no farmer ever has anything whatever to say. IL is scale mace by the buyers. regu- lated by the buyers, overweighted or underweighted by the buyers as they choose. and one which the farmer can take or leave. as he pleases, but wks. '. he knows nothing about and mustn't touch"

For one, l own up that do not be- lieVe the mere making of money is, alone and by itself, test of business mar hood. Nor do I believe that the keeping of books is the end of busi- ness. Just what does constitute a good business man. I say again that don't know and can't find out. I couldn't define my idea of him any more than could bound July 'thuLderhead' in the northwest sky. But, in spite of all this mental obfuscation on my own part, I do clearly recognize the fact that farmers as a class fail to get ahead-fai1 to get what is justly due them-fail to get their fair share of what they earp-fail to get their clear and simple rights. And I see how, in many cases, they fail through their own lack of such characteristics as foresight, and prudence, and self restraint and perseverance. should call those qualities all of them essen tial to a good business man. also see how, in many cases, they fail through their own unenlightened sell fishness, through cowardice. through stubborn self-conceit, and through a lazy unwillingness to get out of old ruts. I should call all these latter characteristics unbusinesslike.

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) The theoretical farmer-who does his farming by sitting on the fence and finding fault with the way we do it. is all the time farping on the farmers need of being "a good business man." Now I confess that 1 don't know just what "a good business man" is. don't know what test to apply. There are so many kinds that are called or call themselves by that term that can't discriminate.
 There is the Rockefeller Rogers, Hartman Hill sort. They have gob bled enormous wealth in business. Are they the types of good business men ?" Then let us thank God that, in His great mercy, He has not endowed many farmers with the combination of sow like greed and foxy cunning and tiger ish ruthlessness which men of their type exhibit. Yet some people seem to think that the making of much money is the one test of mans business ability. Of course the more money he makes, the greater his abili- ty, according to this rule.
 There are others who seem to convey the idea that being a good business man consists in keeping a set of books. They are forever bidding us keep &C., counts. want us to have full set of blank books like bank or depart ment store, and keep our little dime receipts and our little nickel expenses all in black and white. They don't ap- preciate the fact that the farmer whose hands have been all day crooked abou. blow handles, and whose legs have been all day poaching their way along the soft furrow, and whose head has all day been ioggled or ierked like a clumsy whip-snapper, by the yankings of the blow in stones or among roots they don't appreciate the fact that he's in no sort of shape, when night comes, to do neat or even passable job at bookkeepin

balloon. Similarly if just enough of them hold back their~potatoes so that only eight carloads day arrive, the price will just as surely go up. If there are more than enough potatoes to sup ply the demand the buyer makes the price; if you don't sell 'em at his terms there are others to be had. But if there are not enough potatoes to go round, the buyer, who must take yours or get none, pays your price rather than go without.
