Buying Trees

The Ohio experiment station be-
lieves that it is a good plan for the
farmer to learn something Of mans
reputation through his neighborhood
before buying trees of him. Then, Il
possible, 60 early in the season and
examine his trees. If an order is
given, specify that the trees must he
of his own growing and that there
must be no substituting. In order
ing from a distant farm, select those
who advertise in first-class period
icals and specify, as before, no substi-
tuting. Reputable nurserymen and
seedsmen try to keep their stock pure
and the varieties true to name, but
they often buy of others and mistakes
may occur in handling. If nursery
men and seedsmen are to be centured
more than other business men for lax
methods, says the director of the Ohio
station, it is because they get stock
from doubtful sources, by exchange or
purchase, and because they so often
substitute variety which is "just as
good"

TRICKS OF THE MIDDLEMEN
There Should Be Some Arrangement
BY Which Producer Can Keep
Control Of His Products.

There is no question in our minds
but that the average commission
man Is as honest as circumstances
will permit, but at the same time
there are many Of whom this is not true
and 1t is more due to the slip-shod
manner In which consignments are
made than to any other cause. An
Ell Centre paper relates that a melon
grower Of that place who received
next to nothing for his crop of canta.
loupes, was in a northern city three
days after he stopped picking, and
saw at grocer's some crates Of can.
taloupes from his own ranch. The
grocer said he paid $3.50 to five dol.
lars a crate for the melons. Accord.
ing to the commission mans returns.
these same melons were sold for
freight" Somebody between the
grocer and the grower made big
profit. Who was It?
A system which allows the grower
to ship his stuff to any person who is
wholly irresponsible and who has only
the word Of that person as to the dis.
position Of his shipments or the
prices received for them, is grossly
wrong. There is no doubt that there
are some middlemen who take advan.
tage of this condition to rob their
clients, and that the whole class are
blamed for 1t; but there are honest
commission merchants who do the
best they can for their clients, and Il
In this class who ultimately prosper
while the others disappear after a
season or two. But the dupes of the
rascally class lose their confidence in
all commission men. There should
be some means by which the grower
does not lose all control of his prod.
ucts after shipping them, and BY
which the middleman should be made
accountable to him. AS 1t is now,
produce is practically the property of
the middleman as soon as it reaches
him, and what he may give the grow
er is matter of generosity. He may,
as has often been done, sell it and
report it dumped and pocket the full
amount, or falsify his statements and
return part while keeping the rest.
While the present system prevails the
producer should inform himself as to
the general. character of the man he
ships to, and deal only with those
who have a reputation for square
dealing.

Keeps Door Open.

Of the door. Put weight On the back
end Of the hook, just heavy enough to
raise the catch. At the top of the
post put grooved pulley or an l.
shaped lever cut from piece of fat
iron, with a hole In each end and a
larger hole at the corner. Fasten it
to the post as shown. Attack a wire
to the weight and carry it over the
pulley or attach it to the outer arm
Of the lever. Hitch another wire to
the top end Of the lever and carry it
inside the barn behind the door. Put
a ring in the door to pull it shut with
and another ring in the end of the
wire for finger hole. The hook may
then be released and the door pulled
shut without walking around to the
post. 1t is one of the little farm con.
Veniences that help to save steps.

Ambition stirs the soul of ev-

for which opportunity is available
Realization of the advantages
which fall to the man or woman
of superior educational training is
rarely complete, still less in the
capacity of the educated for use

The question, "Will it pay to in
cur the labor and expense of a
university educationf" is there
fore often enormously answered.
Education has a value as cap
ital accumulated for future use.
In this sense it is an investment
that is secure against loss. Finan-
clal reverseS may take away ones
lands Win the improvements on
them, the cattle and horses that
have been reared with care and
sKlll, moneys in the banks, bonds,
stocks and mortgages, and every
other kind of tangible property.
But no financial reverse, and no
change in the times, can diminish
ones investment in his own edu-
cation. 1t is secure against at
tachment for debt. 1t is always
ready for use, and is helpful in
opportunity. 49,
