Chicago, June 4.-Wheat: The mar
ket ruled very firm all day, with a
smaller volume of trade, but a strong
iiffdertone prevailed. While he buy
ing power was not as great as yester-
day, the news from west of the river
was of Just as buIlish a character as
formerly, and no precipitation was
Gioted over night. Southwestern a
kets were firm. Present prices seem
m a reasonable basis when all condi-
lions are considered. We should be
careful about buying wheat on sharp
rallies, but continue to feel that the
long side Of the market is, by far the
preferable one Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

Caring for Machinery

There is a lot of machinery in the
farm lots and fields of the western
states which should have some atten-
ton during the next month. Profess
sors Banner and Bonebright of the
Colorado Experiment Station, have
gotten out a bulletin on this subject
which contains some good, common
sense suggestions. We quote:
THE fact that such a large per
centage of the machinery is alloweG
to stand in the open Is partly but not
wholly, explained by the marked
scarcity of suitable machine sheds
upon the farms. In large number
of cases the housing consists of go
ing through the motions rather than
actually preparing the machinery
for storage and then properly storing
1t in a suitable shelter.
Whether the machinery is to be
housed or not, it should be cleaned
and thoroughly oiled at the end OF
the season. With such machinery as
the binder or mower, 1t is a good
plan to thoroughly oil all bearings
and wearing parts just before finish
ing the season After rem owing all
dirt, wipe the entire machinery with
an oiled rag or waste. The wearing
parts especially should be well
creased with tallow or axle grease.
If the entire machine is to be housed
these wearing parts do not need to
be removed from the machine, but
they should be removed and stored
In a dry place under all other condi-
lions.
ITO house machinery does not al
ways do as much good as Is COM
monty supposed. In making the In
vestigation, the following question
was asked many times: How should
farm machinery be cared for" 1t is
usually answered by the farmer;
Everyone knows that 1t should be
housed This is a good answer as
far as 1t goes, but to house maehin-
cry under any conditions, and not
properly care for 1t otherwise, con-
stitutes very poor care

Ket. The only reason. we are told,
is that the farmer stands alone while

Vi the European farmer, the advan-
'ases are due to organization and CO.
operation Turning to the object
lessons supplied by those two coun-
trles, We learn that the German
farmers in given territories form CO.
operative societies, "syndicating their
larm lands under negotiable bonds
winch are offered Jointly as security
LOT the credit they need" and that
the individual then borrows from this
cooperative society. 1t is lust as if
all the small farms in a Texas coun-
w. no one of which is more than 100
acres were pooled into one great
society which borrowed on a single
BOND against all this property. and
then lent to any individual farmers
forming this pool as they needed
oney on mortgage" In France the
Credit Foncier, in Paris, lends money
TO farmers for periods of from ten
TO seYenty-five years, these loans be-
ing retired in very small instruments
year by year.
What these systems do for the
farmer who wants money on a mort
gage the cooperative rural banks do
for the farmer who wants to borrow
money against current needs. In
Germany at the present time there
is a Federation of German Agricul-
tural Societies. numbering more than
10000 farmers banks and including
in its mem bership more than 1861
600 farmers. This is AN agricul-
tural money trust, the object of
which is to see to it that the farmer
gets his money when he needs it AMI
at rates that are commensurate with
his security" Applying the lesson
at home, Mr.. Yoakum goes on to say
The work of reorganizing the
farm finance Of the United States is
sure to come. The rapidity of its
realization depends upon the farm
ers of the United States. They are
the first to receive the benefits. If
they do not rouse themselves to wipe
out this terrific annual tax upon
their industry, no other man can ac-
complish the purpose for them. II.
on the contrary, they, through their
organizations and through their rep
resentatives in congress, demand
legislation to accomplish this pur-
pose, l have no hesitation in saying
that the annual interest saved ten
years from now will be enough TO
pay the ruling rate at that time on
more than 4,000,000,00 of addi-
tional money-enough to open and
cultivate every section of the coun
try to its full capacity.
"The great problem for the farm
ers to settle is whether they will be
satisfied to fight other trusts or put
themselves on strong financial basis
and operate their own trusts"
