FARMERS who are interested in improving rather than lamenting-
their condition, will read with interest a recent article by
Samuel Crowther on the history of cooperative marketing organ
izations. v -
. Only those organizations, Crowther points out, which are
based on theories which would work, have succeeded. He indi
cates that price-setting, with its consequent dangers of over-production,
is always a risky procedure, i Suppose the farmer were
guaranteed a profit on wheat. It would 'not be long until all
available land was in wheat. The same situation would prevail if
prices on hogs were guaranteed or if cows were priced at $100 a
head without any operation of the law of supply and-demand..
Orderly marketing, says Crowther, is far different than
price-fixing. It makes possible crop distribution over a 12-month
instead of a one-month period. It prevents glutting the trade at
harvest and forcing down the price to. the advantage of the spec
ulator who corners supply and waits for the inevitable advance oc
casioned by demand. , ; . A , ; ;

is mentioned but any ground is dangerous and treacherous if it
ignores the fact that theories must be sound if they are to be nut

TIMELY HINTS FOR r
- BUYING STALLION
Keep in Mind Importance of
Pure Breeding. - ;
In buying a staHlon one should keep
In mind the Importance of pure breed
ing, soundness. Individual excellence,
potency, ' and' tha reliability of the
party from whom purchased. .
It should be remembered that pure
breeding Is Important In a breeding
sire as it means that his type has
been fixed by a long: line of ancestors
of similar type, and that he will there
fore transmit his qualities. with more
certainty than the grand sire. It Is.
well to keep In mind also that there
are oertaln families within every breed
that -stand out because of their su
perior excellence,' and that such fam
ilies are especially desirable. ;;
It Is a good safeguard, to have a
horse examined and certified sound by
a competent and reliable veterinarian
before buying. If this Is not possible,
a guarantee ; should be secured : that
the horse will pass, the requirements
of the stallion registration board, and
payment should .be withheld until a
license has been secured.
A horse may be pure bred and sound,
and et an undesirable Individual. A
horse which would not himself be a
high-priced gelding if castrated . can
hardly be expected to sire high-priced
gdlngs.,-;:i;: A-'-'-;"::'

cured that jtbe, hjrse wIU prove a CO
per cent Toal getter, tender conditions
with which yon can comply, end that
failing to do so the purchase price
wilt be refunded In cash. Remember
thafsuch a guarantee Is of little value
unless given by a responsible party.
Before buying a stallion It is well
to Inform yourself as to the reliability
of the party with whom yon expect
to deal. There are plenty of reliable
breeders, and dealers from whom good
stallions can be secured and they are
worthy of your patronage. There are
also' menj in the business of selling
stallions who are not reliable and It Is
weU to avoid them. ,
, The color and markings should be
carefully examined to see thst tbey
correspond with .those calld for In
the pedigree. The age as shown by
his teeth should also be checked with
the date of foaling. Bulletin No. "7.

AMERICAN poIlUcai leaders at the
beginning of tha Nineteenth cen

an equal number of votes for Presl

thrown Into the bouse of represents
Uvea. There the opposing Federalists
party, having a majority, threatened
for a time to elect Burr rather than
Jefferson, although the latter " bad
been clearly Intended for President
and the former for vice president by
their own party.
. This dilemma arose under the earlj
system" which required each membei
of the -electoral college to cast two
votes, each for different men, but
without distinction ss to which man
was desired for President and which
for vice president,
In 1803, during President Jeffer
son's first term,- recurrence of such
a deadlock as nearly had kept him
out of the White House and had
thrown : tha country Into great con
fusion waa : definitely forestalled.
Congress submitted to the states the
Twelfth amendment to the Federal
Constitution, under which each mem
ber of the electoral college waa to
cast ona vote for President and one
for vice president. Duly ratified by
the ststea, the amendment went into
effect in 1804, In time lor. the elec

' Thus threatening difflcultfes' !nth
way of orderly elections were removed.
But methods of nominating candidates,
for which no means had been pro
vided or suggested In the Constlto
tlon, continued to be s matter of alow
evolution. .
The first stage In the development
nominations by caucuses In congress
was a natural one. Absence of quick
means of communication made cou
gress the only deliberative body that
adequately could represent popular
opinion.
Jeffersonlan Republicans had
frowned on :aucua nominations when
tbey first were made by the Federalist
partyL but these squeamish scruple
soon were abandoned and the Itepub
Means formally held a caucus to re
nominate ' Jeffersop in 1804.
. In 1808, however, definite ob
jection within the party was raised
against the caucus that nominated
James Madison of Virginia to suc
ceed Jefferson. Strangely enough.
George Clinton of New York, plckoti
by the caucua to be Madison's run
ning mate, protested against the meO
od of his own nomlnstlon to be vlc ,
president'
DeWItt Clinton of New Tork, when
be saw that he could not get the cau
cus nomination, broke away from tt
Jeffersonlan Republican party In 181-'
and was nominated by. a fusion state
convention of Republicans and Fed
erallsts In New York. Practically all
the other nominations in the firs'
fifth of the century were made by
caucus. It remained for doughty
Gen. Andrew Jackson to vitalize the
opposition to Presidential nominating
caucuses that, their float abandonment
was accomplished.
Meantime the, "Virginia dynastyq
of Presidents Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe succeeded In getting elected
with but fittle opposition. The Fed

he had shown me, and I brought It
with me." He stopped and. pat his
hand in his pocket, : producing a
large, square envelope. "As soon

package.: Diane compelled herself
to take It with outward composure,

and stood beside her, "I want yoa -to
