Theo. g. Nelson, president of the

organization that is sweeping the
length and breadth of the land to the
CONSERVATION Of the middlemen who
have hitherto robbed both the pro-
queer and consumer, issues the fol-
lowing statement that will be read
with interest locally:
The determination with which the
farmers of the Northwest are pushing
the completion of the Equity Terminal
Elevator and Commission Company
mas given the commission men a
nightmare, and they are playing all
sorts OF games in order to hang on
TO their jobs. Here is smooth one
they are working now, along new
railroad lines especially:
Commission companies that are
members of such intitutions as the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and the Duluth and Chicago Boards
OF Trade are paying men as high as
$1,000 per day for organizing farm
ers' elevators. In order to make the
scheme look as good as possible and
thus rope in all the more farmers,
they propose to save the farmer the
trouble of paying cash by taking their
notes. The plan on which they work
provides just barely enough capital
to buy, build or lease an elevator, as
the case may be. The commission
company will furnish the capital with
which to buy and sell the grain. In
order to do this, though, they must
have an assurance that when the
elevator begins handling grain it will
all go to the commission company
paying the organizer. This goes a
long ways to prove the truth of the
assertions made that two-thirds of
our farmers elevators are organized
in the interests of and by boards of
trade. -:
: If the farmers had terminal ele-
vators in every central grain market
and $10,000,000 to operate them with
it would not do them bit Of good
II the let someone else do the hand
ling and selling Of their grain. All
that the mfddlemen want is chance

while on its way from producer to
consumer. If they can accomplish
this by building farmers ?-elevat-
ors and making the farmers believe
that they, and not the commission
men, are running them, why not do
that? If they can get the grain when
1t gets to terminal markets, why
shouldn't they be willing to to let
the farmers at least imagine they are
handling it in local markets? Then:
too, farmers notes drawing 8 to IL
per cent interest used as security for
loans at from to 6 per cent is good
enough for anybody. If farmers want
the profits to go to middlemen who
row control the marketing of farm
products; they must steer clear OF
such schemes as these.
Their game suggests two things
that should induce farmers to leave
it severely alone and work a game
of their OWn-namely:
First-That it is safe to invest mon
ey in farmers elevators.
Second-That those in control Of
cur marketing machinery, which now
supports thousands of unnecessary
commission men, travelling solicitors,
: etc., are losing ground.
Farmers can provide money enough
to operate and own and control all
necessary facilities for handling and
financing the marketing of their
crops. without giving middlemen a
chance to steal one-third of them.
II 1t is necessary to raise cash by Civ
ing notes 1t would be wiser to get it
at local banks or borrow from each
other. If you would, make it a rule
to retain ownership of your grain
until it was sold at the terminal mar
kets instead of selling it to the local
elevator, your local elevators would
not need one-third as much CAPITAL
to operate with as they do now.
Farmers, don't let any one pay
your bills for you! Pay them your
selves and you will have no trouble
in getting what is coming to you.
Look out for this game in your Sec
ton of the country. If you have
farmers organization of any kind in
your neighborhood and there is a. Ju-
das in it, he is most likely to suggest
it first.

The farmer is rarely conscious. Of
the fact that hetis keeping poultry for

rather dreary, and the farmers table
without it's customary supply of fresh
eggs and fried chicken would be sadly
deficient. r ~. :. 49,
The object Of pleasure enters more
largely in the case of those who keep
poultry in towns and villages. Not

fining indoor work and supply his ia

many farmers find great pleasure in
poultry breeding and exhibition as a
hobby. The extent to which this
phase of poultry keeping has been de-
veloped is readily seen from the multi
tude OF poultry shows held throughout
the country during the fall and winter
months. :....7
In attempting the study of series
OF lessons in poultry keeping the poul-
tryman or would be poultryman should
form clear conception in his mind Of
the relation in his own case Of these
various objects or ends for which the
poultry business is commonly engaged
in.
The Farm Flock.
The prime object for which the farm
or keeps chickens Is for his own ta-

sufficient poultry products to supply
his table throughout the year there
will of necessity be at. certain seasons

farmer who starts out to furnish his
own table soon finds himself in the

one Of the lot by far, and probably he
was to- divide the proceeds Of this

cunning pair! Had even fooled Dupuy,
who thought them dangerous. And
what son-in-law Brand would make!
Yes. he could have Judith; he was

twenty-five or thirty we find that the
most prosperous and intelligent farm
ers keep flock of about the former
size.
Now, If the farmers quota Of hens
goes much beyond this figure it will be-
come necessary to divide the flock into
smaller units and go to other troubles
that are rather irksome for the general
farmer who considers poultry as an
about the house job rather than az a
part Of his regular farm operations.

will require separate houses and yards

CONS as they appeared aroused the
suspicious of both the judge
