DREW THE LINE AT SPURS
One THING Frederic Remington Insist
ed on While Undergoing Medi-
cal Treatment.

Augustus Thomas. in his recollec-
tiSns OF Frederic Remington. relates
the following: "One Sunday morning
in those later days | went with him
to the Office of an osteopathic physi-
clan who was treating him. The os-
teopath was a slight man and not tall.
Remington, lying face downward on
the operating table. presented sky
line SO much higher than that OF the
average patient that the doctor stand
ing on the floor lacked the angle OF
pressure necessary to his treatment
The doctor, therefore. mounted
chair, from which he stepped to the
table, and finally sat astride OF Rem
ington, applying his full weight to the
manipulation which he was giving te

FARM PRODUCTS ARE WASTED
Ideas Of Cooperation 10 Everywhere
Hailed az Desirable Thing, Says
President Van Hise.

THE waste in distribution ct agri-
cultural products Is to be reckoned
each year In hundreds Of millions OF
dollars" declared President Charles
r. Van Hise Of the University Of Wis
consin in an address on Waste In
Distribution" before the First Ma
tional Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credits at Chicago recently.
The solution of the industrial sit
uation of the farmers Is to be found
in cooperation among themselves.
and cooperation with the consumer
for their mutual benefit in order to
eliminate the great wastes Of the ex-
listing distributing system and thus
secure efficiency.
THE idea of cooperation Is every.
where hailed as a desirable thing for
the farmer; and this is true at time
when there is equal denunciation OF
combinations of a kind commonly
called trusts. It should be fully un
derstood that combination by manu-
| factuyers is for the very same pur
noses that cooperation is designed tC
cover for the farmer.
TT thus appears clear that to re
duce the waste Of distribution ant
successfully to introduce cooperation
will require a modification Of the ex
listing antitrust laws, national ant
state. The farmers cannot hope 4
| claim for themselves the advantage
of cooperation without permitting
similar advantages to those engage
in other lines of industry. The rem
edy for the abuses in cooperation b
manufacturers consists not in prohit
iting the advantages Of cooperate
but in prohibiting the evil practice
which have arisen in connection wit
combination"

One night last week papa got home
late There had been so many things
to attend to at the office-and after
that a customer from out Of town had
arrived, and-well, papa got home
awfully late. He hated to disturb the
family, so he camped in the dining
room. And In the morning, being thirs-
ty, he arose, drank water. and retired
under the table again.
Then came his little son, the earliest
to arise. Little son viewed the situa'
ton in the dining room, then lifted W
his voice and wept.

restina Hardness Of Steel.

A very simple device has recently
been invented for testing the hard
ness of steel by impact. 1t consists
of a tubular standard fitted with a
hardened steel ball at the lower end.
which is placed upon the steel to be
tested. At the upper end Of the stand
ard is a spirit level by which the
standard may be brought to true YER
teal position. Mounted on the standard
is a cylindrical drop weight This is
raised to the top of the standard and
then dropped, striking a weight,
receiving block at the bottom OF the
standard which communicates the i'm
pact to the steel ball. and makes an
indentation in the steel that Is being
tested. BY measuring the diameter
of the indentation with a celluloid
scale the hardness Of the steel may
be determined.

COOPERATION IN MICHIGAN
One Association Does Business OF
Halt Million Dollars Annually
Work on Cash Basis.

In Michigan there are quite num-
Der of cooperative associations that
are succeeding. Perhaps none are
more successful than the Southern
Michigan Fruit Growers association
at Lawton This concern does busi-
ness of a half million dollars annu-
ally; loses nothing on bad accounts
because goods are bought aud sold
for cash.
The grape growers, some twelve
hundred in number, have been able 10
secure all their necessary supplies TOT
less money because of the volume OF
their purchases for cash and their
system of selling for cash at shipping
point has given them quite an adVan-
| tage over persons not organized ana
going it alone.
The Potato Growers association OF
| Greenville, Mich, is another co-opera-
| tive movement that has been very
| successful says the Fruit Belt. BY
pooling their interests they have been
able to develop the potato industry in
| Montclam county. Michigan, so 1t Is
the leading potato producing county or
the state, and what is more, they have
improved the quality of their product
until Greenville potatoes are listed as
such in the Chicago market reports, by
reason of which their potatoes are al
ways quoted at top prices.
Another very successful co-opera-
ton movement in Michigan is the
Northport Fruit Growers association
of Northport, Mich. This organization
is stin young, but they have shown
what real cooperation will do, when
the principles are put into practice
as they should be. The past season
the association has marketed the fruit
of its members at considerable adj
vance over prices generally prevailing
There are a number of others not
so successful as those mentioned be
cause they have not applied purely
business principles in their operations
and have lacked the necessary CO
hesion.
A change has come over all these

better future for them. The grea
difference between the price the farm

what the consumer has to pay. makes
it necessary for him to pool his inter

FARMER ASKS SQUARE DEAL
Outsiders May Seek to Exterminate
the Dishonest Middleman by Some
Effective Treatment.

South Water street, in Chicago. Is
not the only refuge Of the dishonest

farmer. in relating his experience with
some Boston merchants. complains
that they. paid him. after deducting
their commission. only three dollars
for three bSrrels of apples. Their
selling price fol- fruit Of the same
variety and quality was from two to
two and half dollars a barrel. In
fact. a friend of the farmer. upon In
curing the price of one of these three
barrels. was told that it was three
dollars. The farmer thereupcn en-
tered a protest.

and the commission merchants cheer
