RUN A FARMERS ELEVATOR
Manager Must Be Well versed In
Methods Used In Shipping and
conslsnlne Grain.
By H. F. PATTERSON. Montana Ex-
pertinent Station.)

CBy H. r. PATTERSON. Montana Ex-
pertinent Station.)
There are number Of points that
must be kept in mind by those select"
ing a man to run their elevator. In
the first place, he must be good
Judge Of commercial grains. He must
be able to glance at load Of grain
and tell very quickly what grade will
be placed upon 1t when It is received
upon the terminal market. He should
have q clear understanding Of the
meaning of the different quotations.
since nearly all Of our large terminal
grain markets have sort Of code by
which their grain Is handled.
An elevator manager must be we'll
versed in the methods used in ship
ping and consigning the grain. He
must understand the loading of the
cars, as well as know how to keep an
pccurate set Of books. He must be
the progressive man Of the locality.
His opinion upon the market should
be respected by the shipper and the
farmer. He must be thoroughly famil-
lar with the value Of introducing new
seeds ss we'll as the Importance Of
seed selection.
Farmers organizing cooperative
grain association cannot do better
than to put some time and attention
into the selection Of the man that is
to run their business. Unless re-
sponsible person is hired, the organ
ization Ia bound, sooner or later, to
have q great deal Of trouble. The
writer has known Of number OF
farmers organizations that have
failed simply because they lid not Sc
cure the right man to handle thssr
business.

HANDLE THEIR OWN PRODUCT
Boston Gardeners Plan Organization
Of Cooperative Growers Sell
Ing Association.

II present plans do not miscarry,
Boston will soon see cooperative
vegetable growers selling association.
A few days ago. representative OF
the New England Homestead was
talking with one Of the big gardeners
catering to the Boston market and
learned of this movement. He said
that the vegetable grower is at the
mercy Of dealers and commission men.
He further declared that the system
Of selling vegetables which prevails in
Boston today Is a disgrace to reputa-
BILE farmers.
Boston gardeners take the back
seat for none. as regards getting high
yields per acre and producing extra
fine quality Of produce. but they are
woefully weak when It comes to plac-
ing that product on The market. They
literally dump their vegetables into
Boston and take whatever the dealer
sees At to give. They have no alter
native. as they are not organized to
the point Of being able to divert their
products to other markets. or to in
duce rapid consumption"
AS q matter of fact, dealers keep
prices up to consumers, and, at the
same time pay the grower starvation
prices. If growers had good mar
keting association. and an oversupply
were imminent. they could reduce the
price to consumers. with result Of
cleaning out the market. There are
four growers near Boston who do a
business Of over 100000 year, and
the plan is for these men to open q
market. handle their own product.
and perhaps take consignments from
other growers. Such names as Raw
son. Hittinger, Hall and Rane are as
ISOLATED with the project. The won
der Is that these bright business men
have not attended to this matter be-
fore.

When you are crowded, just keep
On moving.
The low-down wagon is all right, but
folks have no use for low-down man.
Those who in the autumn take their
ease are the more likely later on to
freeze.
The man who will break his word
will smash anything that comes within
his reach.
Cooperation is the alternative OF
corporate land ownership and the
lease system Of farming.
Comfortable quarters and plenty to
eat Is all that is necessary to make
q hog satisfied but it takes something
more to keep happiness in a woman's
heart.
In Denmark credit societies lend
money to farmers with which to buy
lands. The loans run up to 30 years
and the land Is the only security. The
interest rate Is about per cent.
The farmers Of this country own and
operate 16 cooperative meat packing
plants. While the farmers Union
alone owns and operates $500 manu-
featuring plants of various kinds and
the American Society of Equity owns
1900.
Farmers in the southwest part of
Dickinson county, Kan. being unable
to induce somebody to start bank
finally opened one Of their own with
q paid-i1 cash capital Of $125.000. The
bank Is making money and as funds

PRACTICE OF HEAVY PRUNING
Much Theorlzlng Has Been Done on
This Subject, but Little knowL
edge Has Been Acquired.

Much theorizing has been done on
pruning, but comparatively little accu-
rate knowledge has yet been acquired
regarding the relative merit Of the
easy-going methods practiced with the
so-called natural" form Of top and
the more careful and heavier cutting
followed in the base form and other
repressive systems as practiced on
the Pacific coast.
Many of the eastern orchardists
have looked upon heavy pruning as
close akin to murder, and we have as
a result a large proportion of leggy
and awkward trees In most Of the
older apple orchards, the bearing
wood on which is high in the air and
inaccessible both at spraying time and
time of harvest, says writer in an
exchange. Such trees require close
heading back, and sometimes even
need to be "dehorned." Such heading
back, which should preferably be
done in the spring just before growth
starts, need not be done In q single
year, but whether done in one year or
gradually through series OF years,
it should not stop short Of bringing
the remodeled framework of the tree
within convenient reach Of the spray
nozzle and the light picking ladder.

HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY

Generally the towns that are not on
the map are on the bum.
The man who waits to laugh last
sometimes doesn't laugh at all.
Running into debt makes a man
sweat just as badly as any other run.
Tell everybody there is a chance for
them to win, unless you want them to
fail.
Robinson Crusoe needed no court or
law-nobody wanted to rob him OF his
landed possessions.
If 1t wasn't for injuring the shoddy
clothes business I would pray God to
clothe the poor in feathers.
Special privileges are contrary to
our national constitution. Those who
ask for them are preaching treason.
The man with more children than
he can educate should be charged with
stufing the political field with ignor-
ance.
If 1 go to heaven and do not get an
equal portion Of the things given
away, I'll still imagine myself on
earth.
The poor play at politics and get
the joke on themselves-the rich work
at politics and get the profits for their
labor.
There is' not a single soul I wish
to take advantage Of, therefore l join
no organization which does not in
clude the whole race.
The time is coming when evange-
lists will preach every family into a
home on earth, as preliminary to
preaching them into heaven when they
die.
Stop painting the beauties Of heav-
en-. and try to help establish some
thing nearly like it on earth, so the
people can see that such dream is
possible.

JUST THOUGHTS

The man who accepts our advice
usually makes us feel that he. is doing
us favor.
The woman with a baby and the
woman with pet dog always feel so
sorry for each other.
It doesn't take money to make fools
OF some fellows, but at the same time
it helps lot.
Every cloud has silver lining. If
you don't believe it ask a. small boy
who is too sick to go to school.
Many a man who thinks he is a
little lower than the angels would be
surprised to know what they think Of
him.
It's poor rule that won't work
both ways. In fact, some fellows
seem to think It's poor'rule to0work
at all.
Unlike the average man, the ther-
mometer can take drop too much at
night and still get up early the next
morning.
Ennui Is merely a condition in
which we are tired of doing nothing,
and yet we are too tired to do amy
things else.
Tell man he is no better than :he
ought to be and he will get msld
enough to give the impression thil
he ought to be better than he is.

Apples should be carefully assorted.
Grapes have been much neglected of
late years.
The foolish man plants his orchard
on low ground and the wise man seeks
the hills.
Nothing grown on the farm pays bet.
ter for the care bestowed upon 1t than
the orchard.
Apples, pears. peaches, plums and
cherries should be grown on every
farm, large or small.
Do not place your fruit in competi-
tion with another by dividing ship
ments in any market.
The strawberry, like the cranberry
and blueberry, prefers a sour soil and
will do best in such soil.
There are three processes Of prun-
ing young apple tree; the formative,
the directive and the corrective.
When crop on tree Is too large
for normal maturity, thinning is Of
value and should always be given.
Whenever a large limb is sawed
from the tree the wound should be at
once covered with wax or thick paint.
AS a rule sheep do no harm to the
old orchard, but they should not be
allowed to have access to the young
trees.
We never could see the wisdom of
allowing the hogs to run in the orch
ard unless 1t Is in cow peas or clover
pasture.

QUIET THOUGHTS

The wages Of sin is debt.
Few women look like themselves In
public.
Women are like angels continually
harping.
The country needs less unMritten
and more unbroken Inv.
Many an idea turns out, after mar
riage, to be only an ordeal.
He who employs a brunette tyMst
should wear black coat.
When summer girl begins to call
you by your first name she has de-
