MUCH BENEFIT 70 FARMERS
Should Get ogsther on Propositions
to Sell ProdsSsss and ON SECURING
lever. Rates.

Farmers may learn something from
the experience OF other business.
Many manufacturers have not capital
enough to run their business, and 1t
is common for them to make an agree.
ment with commission merchant
by which he loans money to the man
ufacturer, receives the manufactured
goods on consignment, sells them,
and out Of the proceeds repays the
loan, and turns the balance over to
the manufacturer. The commission
merchant employs competent per
son to watch the process of manufac-
ture to see that it Is done to the best
advantage Experience shows that
this arrangement is advantageous to
both parties. Improvements suggest
ed by the merchants agent are often
great benefit to the manufacturer,
writes Everett p. Wheeler in the Ru-
raj New Yorker His goods are sold
to much better advantage than he
could sell them himself, and he gets
the capital which he needs.
1t seems to me that similar ar
rangement could be worked out by a
group of farmers In any county. II
they would club together, get in touch
with some Of the commission mer-
chants who make q business Of selling
farm products, they could make an
agreement BY which money should be
advanced upon their crops, and these
crops should beN consigned for sale
to the commission merchant. Agree
ments could be made for lower freight
rates, If tbs farm products were
shipped by. the carload.
Of course the success of such a
business would depend entirely upor.
the efficiency and good faith of those
engaged in It. But this is true of ev-
cry business. There are many COM
mission merchants who do their bust
ness we'll and honestly. Every farmer
who has had experience knows who
the commission merchants are that
sell his products to the best advan-
tage. In short, all this business can
be done If the farmers will combine

except possibly to investigate the sub
ject. The federal government has no
more power to charter societies for
the purpose than it has to run a dis
trict school If incorporation should
be needed, the state laws offer ample
facilities for the purpose. f is not
new legislation that is wanted. 1t is
really cooperation among the farm

My answer is watchfulness on the

It is not Impossible to build up q

Live stock raising requires diversi.

Economy in Liberal Feeding.

Economy on the farm, as well as
in all other business. is admirable
but economy demands that you get
every drop of butter fat possible
from every cow. In other words, the
greatest economy comes from feed
