KNIFE HEAD. The Champion KnifeHead has a broad bearing surface. Parts are of
case hardened steel to prevent wear. Ihe knife head is long and very strong. Wear
caused by the revolving pitman is automatically taken up bv means of an adjustin
device.
COUPLING YOKE. The coupling yoke is wide and very substantial, making it
impossible, for the knife to get out of line with the pitman.
COUPLING PINS. The coupling pins are large and case hardened. They provide
excellent bearing surfaces. The wide yoke, long pins and the substantial way in
which the shoe is attached to the yoke insures positive alignment of the knife and

WORK OF GRANGES
Facts Concerning Co-operative
Buying and Selling In the
Various States.
The Grange Declaration of Purposes
Saya, "Wo Purpose Meeting Togeth
er, Talking Together, Buying To
gether, Selling Together and In Gen
oral Acting Together aa the Occaaion
May Require."
State Master Stetson of Maine in hln
annual address said: "Intelligent co
operative buying and selling Is a
fundamental principle In our grange
work. It Is a term applied to a system
of united effort for commercial and in
dustrial purposes. It Is the association
ot people for the management of com
mercial Interests and for the benefit
of those associated. The advantage
of active co-opcratlon comes In the
lower prices paid for articles used In
the home and on the farm and for the
Increased price received by selling tho
products of the farm directly to the
consumer."
Co-operative trade since the founda
tion of the Order has always been a
prominent feature of the grange work.
Years ago grange stores were more
numerous than now. And yet we find
a few of these In the various states
that are doing a large business, but
co-operation Is mostly carried on by
county and subordinate granges within
their own membership, and they great
ly profit thereby. Co-operative selling
must be largely of a local nature. It
can bo most successfully carried out
by subordinate and Pomona granges.
For Instance, some of the Pomona
granges of Maine have realized this
and are at work selling together, with
tho following as their motto: "First,
the expansion of both foreign and do
mestic products In Maine; second, to
obtain and disseminate seasonable In
formation regarding the crops abroad
that como into competition with their
home grown products, so that the
Maine producer may more intelligently
decldo whether to sell or hold his crops
for higher prices; third, to devise nnd
carry out a proper system of market
ing products whereby a maximum price
shall be obtained with minimum cost
In selling."
The Connecticut Patrons' Exchange
Is dolug a substantial but not very
large business, amounting perhaps to
$10,000 per year. But even at that
It is saving many good dollars to mem
bers.
In Michigan the granges are very ac
tive In a business way. A single
grange in the fruit belt purchased 5,000
pounds of copper sulphate, two car
louds of lime nnd a carload of sulphur
and a tou of parts green. Another
grange In the same state placed a sin
gle order for a ton of pails green.
Tritlnloads of binder twine aro pur
chased every year by grangers. An
other grange purchased $7,000 worth
of flour and feed.
In Ohio the state grange through
its trade contracts handled $50,000
worth of farmers' commodities. The
fertilizer business constituted $25,433
of this amount, making a saving of
fully $1,200 on fertilizers.
One grange store In Kansas carries
goods to the umount of $140,000, and
tho granges In that state are doing a
large co-operative business. Tho ex
ecutive comjnlttee of the state grange
Is working on plana for a state wide
co-operative buying agency. One
grange Insurance company In that
state has a membership of 4,107 and
carries risks to the amount of $11,-
G59.210. The cost on each $1,000 of

In New York state several htmdred
thousand dollars in trade Is handled
by trade contracts, and the county and
subordinate granges are saving their
members hundreds of dollars on farm
supplies. Nearly every grange state
where the grange membership Is in
considerable numbers is making this
co-operative trade a most profitable
feature. Pennsylvania is especially
notable for its co-operative Are In
surance companies, telephone compa
nies and particularly for co-operation
In erecting grange halls.
Farmers everywhere are learning
that they can succeed best by work
ing together, and co-operative enter
prises established by farmers not
members of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry are also numerous and
profitable. For instance, the Puyalluo
and Summer Fruit Growers associa
tion of Washington state has 700 mem
bers and shipped last year over 02,000
crates of red raspberries and nearly
29,000 crates of blackberries, its own
canning plant using 20,000 crates of
raspberries and 44,000 crates of black
berries. Ten years ago its output did
not exceed 5,000 crates. Now it Is
ver 200,000 crates. This association
fras organized with a capital of $2,000
In 2,000 shares.
At Voltaire, N. D., the farmers own
several co-operntlve enterprises. In
deed, they own the town site and a
telephone line. They own nn elevator,
on which last year a dividend of 20
per cent was declared. They have a
farmers' mutual Are Insurance com
pany. They organized a stock com
pany nnd constructed a building.
There ore almost Innumerable ways
In which farmers may co-opernte if
they are willing to work together for
their common interests.
Powerful Built.
During a debate upon the second
reading of the Irish land bill in 1890
Lord Londonderry concluded a period
with: "This is the keystone of the bill.
Are you going to kill it?"
Sir Frederick Mllner, speaking on
the budget, said, "A cow may be drain
ed dry, and if chancellors of the ex
chequer persist in meeting every de
ficiency that occurs by taxing the
brewing and distilling industry they
will inevitably kill the cow that lays
the golden milk!"
Lord Curjon "The Interests of the
employers and employed are the same
nine times out of ten-1 will even say
ninety-nine times out of ten!"
Discussing Mr. Asrpilth's licensing
bill at a meeting at Shoredltch, a mem
ber of parliament roused the nudlence
to a frenzy of enthusiasm hy declaring
that "the time has como to strip to
the waist and tuck up our shirt
sleeves!"
What Is Electricity?
Many persons young and old often
wonder how the modern electric cars,
trains and locomotives are operated
ond what electricity is. No one knows
what electricity is. We know some of
the things that it will do. We have
to a certain extent learned how to con
trol it and for want of a better name
call it a fluid. We have discovered,
too, that it Is one of the most Impor
tant forces, if not tho most Important
force, of which we have any knowl
edge. We are almost ns ignorant of
many other great forces of nature as,
for example, the attraction of gravita
tion. For tho present we must be con
tent to observe such forces In action
and tl devlso the best methods to con
trol them. In this knowledge mankind
bus progressed wonderfully within a
few years.- St. Nicholas.
