Written Specially For The Bulletin
 According to President Wilder q the Wilder Manning Tanning com pany of Chicago, sit is a fact that to- day we are paying more per pound Tor hides than the American people paid for a corresponding weight or sirioin steak thirty live years ago.
 That's something of change, eh ?
 Mr Wilder went on to say that the tanning industry of the United States '.is now turning out $Se0,oe0,ooO worth of leather annually" that the yearly output of the domestic shoe manu- facfnrers ''is estimated at $500. .0oe,- 900 a year. and that the n1aferiai used by tanners, i.e.. raw hides, Is decreasing at an alarming rate
 In other words, the tanners have to pay sirioin steak prices for raw hdes because there aren't enough raw hides to go round.
 Now you don't believe, nor do l be- Iieve. that either one of us could zef, per pound,- any such price as MT. Wilder mentions for a single hide taken of one beef animal. Wed have to sell that one hide to some lo- cal specuiator. who would make his profit and sell it again to some job ber who would make another profit and turn it over to the railroads, who would charge freight on 1t and so. all together, very likely make it cost MT. Wilder, out in Chicago, what he says.
 But it is resity our own fault. that we farmers do business in this and similar roundabout ways.
 There Is nothing in the .constdtu- : ton or the statutes to compel us to enrich a lot of o-betweens with the profits which should come into our own pockets. If the orange growers of Milton tn Hudson, and the caulifiower growers of Long Island, and the butter-makers of Minnesota, and the egg men of Wisconsin can bunch their crops ard sell them in wholesale quantities direct to the big buyers there isn't any inherent req son why farmers of New England shouldn't raise beef and pork and sell meats and hides in similar ways.
 If these and other organized pro- ducers can, in that day, save them from loss. and secure to themselves the percentages of profit which would otherwise go to mere passers-on and toli-takers, then it would be absurd to say that New England cattle raisers couldn't obtain the same advantages, If they really wanted to.
 
 times what it did, thirty five years ago. and raw hides cost the big tan ners as much as the steak used to. per pound, 1t looks, on the face of things, as if there ought to be a jhance for somebody with plenty of pasture lands and fields that will grow corn to make living raising beef and pork and other meats.
 Of course. it costs more to raise beef on the hills of New England than 1t used to on the fenceIess ranges of tho west But the competition from those fenceless ranges is rapidly de- creasing. There aren't many, of them left, and there aren't going to be any left, in a few years more. The land is being taken up for crop growing. and the western cattle man now has to buy his grazing grounds instead of ranging free over the unauryeyed acres of government land. He has to buy them, and fence them, and pay taxes on them: and he usually pays more for both land and fencing than we have to right in New Eng

What is wanted for fattenins beeves is plenty of pasturage in the open sea son, and plenty of corn in the finish
 ing process
 There are thousands and tens of
 thousands of acres of hill pasture all over New England, growing up to scrub and briars which once made and
 would again make, if given a chance, admirable grazing
 Little Connecticut can and does

 | In other words, we've got the pas ture, and we've got the corn land and the country is short of both tho meat and the hides we could produce, and is hungry for more of them. Doesn't it seem af if there ought to be some way in which we could work it so that the country's need should become OUT opportunity?
 According to Tanner Wilder the supply of hides is decreasing alarm ingly According to the governments statistics, there are nine less beef cat tie in the country, now, for each hun dred persons, than there were In 1910, -only four years ago. While there has been an increase in the human population of about 100000 people in those four years, there has been an actual decrease of thirteen per cent, in the number of cattle in the coun- try.
 There are seven million more peo- pie wanting beef. and about seven million less beeves to supply 1t. There are seven million more people want ing shoes, and about seven million less cattle to furnish hides to make them out of.
 Of course beef is going up. Of course
 shoes are going up. And harness leather. Great Scott! If it gets much higher. we shall all have to make our
 harnesses out of carpet ragsi The farmer who can raise only one or two steers and twenty or thirty sheep, and must sell them, all by his lonesome. to the local buyer who dic- tates tine price, isn't likely to get any
 special advantage from this state of l things. He takes what he can get, when he can get it. and thinks him. self lucky if he comes out with whole skin. He is lucky.
 So long as each one of us would rather drive his own one-horse team l in his own way to his own loss than hitch up with his neighbors and help | drive forty horse caravan smack through the market, he must expect | to be treated as one horse chap and 1 do one horse business. But there's
 nothing in the law or the gospel to compel farmers to act that way s'pose you'll admit that Solomon had some sense, even three thousand years ago. Listen to this: Two are better than one: because
 they have good reward for their ! labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that Is alone when he falleth, and
 hath not another to lift him up. is And if a man prevail against
 him that is alone. two shall withstand ] him. and a threefold cord is not easily broken"
