tors. When grain goes high. many
er, and all sales stop. while a sharp
decline. particularly if followed by
several more drops, soon makes
many conclude that the bottom is all
gone. and that to sell is the only safe
thing to do. For this reason, if for
no other, the farmer who sells when
the market is comparatively good or
high, comes out ahead in the long
run. In the more than thirty years
we have farmed. this has been our
rule, and although there has oc-
casionally been time when we could
have done better, selling when our
products were ready for the market,
unless prices were evidently low, has
brought us the greatest satisfaction
and the most money.
While there is little reason to be-
lieve that wheat will go much lower
than 1t is, there seems no good reason
for any marked advance for some
time. In all the southern hem
isphere, the outlook is fair for ii good
yield on Il considerably increased
acreage, and an increased winter
wheat acreage in our own country has
gone into the winter in more than us
ually good condition.
The crop of Russia and other parts
OF Europe has proved to be above the
average, and our own small grain is
fully up to the average, owing to the
increased acreage which quite offset
the small yields in some parts. 1t
must be remembered, too, that owing
to the more than usually high price
Of wheat. more acres We're SOWn to
wheat the world over, last spring,
and will he again the coming season.
1t is only this increased acreage
that can force down the price of
wheat much below what it is now:
but this somewhat unexpected factor
will have to he reckoned with. The
one bright spot in the steady decline
OF wheat prices for some time past, is
the likelihood that it will check the
ruinouS rusl, out Of stock which sent
prices of meat, butter and cheese so
high.

THE FARMER DOESN'T GET 1T.

Nrtte Daily News: Organize coop
era,i' purchasing associations. buy
your farm products direct from the
farms I and in carload lots and attend
to the distribution yourselves. That
is. in substance. the advice of :,ecre-
tHry of Agrirult ure Wilson as Il solu-
ton oi The present higl, cost of living.
The difference between the farmers
selling price and the consumers pur-
chasing plic, is almost incredible: the
secretary shows that in some i'll
stances it is lM per cent. Ii our lrgis
lative bodies quit the consideration Of
every other national question and de-
voted themselves to Il plan for bring
ing the original producer and the III
innate consumer together, they would
do more for the nation in six months
than they can .io under the present
order OF affairs in ten years. Listen
to what Mr.. Wilson SAYS:
"rhe apple grawer receives ST per
cent of the consumers price when the
purchase is Ivy the bushel and ,m per
cent when by the barrel. The straw
berry grower gets 10 PER cent when by
the crate. When the consumer buys Il
peek of onions at Il time the farmer
receives % per cent of the retail price:
when he buys Il barrel the farmer re-
ceives IS per cent. So in the case of
oranges, when the purchase is by the
dozen the grower receives 20 per cent
of the consumer sprice. whereas when
the purchase is by the box the grower
gets ~ per cent. The rule seems to
be. the smaller the retail quantity the
smaller the farmers share of HE con
sumer's price

sent, out Of all proportion to the cost
Of production. plus reasonable pro-
fit. With all our railroad rate agita-
ton the grim fact still remains that
the railroads in Il great many instan-
ces get more actual profit for carry
ing the commodity than the man who
produces it. The answer is that the
railroads are wonderfully organized

viii Start Work on Tunnel.

Among other things. it is stated
that force of men will arrive in this
city. possibly this week. to begin
work on the long tunnel which the
Great Northern will bore through the
Mcdonald creek divide about twelve
miles east OF this city. This tunnel
will be several thousand feet in
length and it is necessary in orleI to
give the Great Northern the desired
main line grade over the hill. 1t will
keep big force of men at work for
from one to two years. during which
time it is the intention to complete
the rest of the grade.
1t is also stated that the Milwaukee,
and Great Northern have practically
agreed to use the same track from
Weede on the Musselshell river, to
Lewistown. The Great Northern will
do thx construction work, using the
twenty-five miles Of grade now al
ready completed between Lewistown
and Grass Range by the Milwaukee.
From Weede eastward, the Mil
waukee will construct Il line to Saul
gus, which is station on their pres
ent main line in Dawson county and
directly east of Weede. From the
Musselslell, the Great Northern will
build their line nOrtheasterly to Blu
ford, on the Missouri river. The Mil
waukee engineers are still endeavOr-
ing to locate Il feasible route from
Lewistown to Great Falls across the
big Arrow creek country, while the
Great Northern line from this city to
point between Benchland and Moe
casin, Oh the Billings Northern, has
already been surveyed and Il portion
OF the right-of-way purchased.
Northern Pacific Plans.
1t is further reported that the Nor
thern Pacific will also construct
line across Dawson county from near
the Milwaukee station of Saugus. the
present lines of the Northern Pacific
and Milwaukee being within few
hundred yards of each other at that
place. This line will also end ut
Weede. and their is talk of the Nor
thern Pacific trains being run in
to Lewistown over the Milwaukee,
Great Northern track. From this
city, the Northern Pacific will build
into White sulphur Springs. and ul-
timately, through Whites pass to
Helena.
