PRACTICAL CO Western Grain Raisers Band Together to Get Fair Prices for Their Farm Products. Tho tonrienrir rf the tinmen la toward cooperation, and the most interesting j movement just now is "seen in the co operative associations being formed in the middle west. The growth of this movement for the consolidation of graia raisers has been upon a far different basi3 from the visionary plan of early days. In the first place these associa tions are in the hands of shrewd busi ness men, who can handle financial af fairs in a way to produce results. It is said that one of the weaitniest anSfuUv whose mills are reputed to bring a profit of $55,000 a year, is now manager of a long line of farmers' elevators, and at a meeting at Kansas City a few days ago It was reported that 75 elevators scattered ttirough Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska are listed in the associa tion. It was reported that the stock holders had received a dividend ot eighl per cent, after paying expenses, and were selling grain at a larger profit than could be secured from the ordi nary elevators. The plan of the cooperation is purelj business-like, with politics and senti ment in the background. The stock holders are farmers, and the elevators are fun on a basis of actual cost. th profit being returned to the farmer ir dividends. The key item in the ircii agement is the requirement that everj producer is to sell to the associatior elevator, or if he sells elsewhere sha!! pay one cent a bushel of the amount received to the association company This makes it impossible for then rtxals to run them out of business -by bidding higher for grain. 'The towns where these association .elevators havt been established for four years are fa vorably impressed with the plan, and the management has continued to re turn profits, the numbers are being extended, and there are enough now tc compel -the railroads to give them equal privileges with the old line institutions Prairie Farmer. HOME-MADE CORN CUTTER Simple Device for Whose Construc tion Nothing- Is Needed But a Sledge and Scythe Blade. ' Where large fields of corn are grown a cheap, quick system of cutting th crop is essentia. The simple device shown in the illustration, which can b Teadily constructed by any handy man on a farm, is made from a sledge and a scythe blade. The size need not be ex actly as described, butthe body must not be too wide to go easily between thf rows. The sledge part Is three and one-hall A CHEAP CORN CUTTER. feet long by 20 "inches wide. The run ners are of two-by-three-inch chestnut, and the cross boards of one-inch hard wood. The blade of an ordinary scythe is fastened to the right-hand corner. The point of the scythe is braced out at an angle of 45 degrees, with a brace of three by one-inch hardwood, bolted to the scythe six inches from the point. The brace is then firmly bolted to the sledge. A large box is nailed to the sledge for a seat. A steady horse ac customed to cultivate between the rows should be used. The corn is cut close to the roots and about six or seven acres can be cut in a day. A stiff rod of wrought iron bent as shown and bolted to the front of ths sledge helps to collect the cut stalks, the driver also guiding with his right hand the stalks as they fall. I. A.

Take two stalks in ad joining rows and put the rope around them; snap the snap into the ring at ore side of the shock, then cut your corn and set it against this.

Editor Gazet e. Since the electors, of Beuti county have seen fit to make hqucr license an issue in the approaching election it becomes us as citizens intei- ested in the public welfare to care- investigate the wisdom of the policy of the past and' the proposed innovation to the time Honored custom, tor it is said that when a policy prevails so long that the mind of man goeth not to the ' contrary that the policy becomes law. I do not suppose that any one has any thing against the liquor . deal er as such, 'for as electors ihe'y are as good as those who vote the same policy and stand for the license system. The phases of the liquor traffic are as numerous as the facets of the reflectors of the kaleidoscope; but in this article-we only want to consider its effect on our in stitutions of learning. . 'A few years ago I was secre tary of the Intercollegiate Asso ciation of Oregon and at one 01 its sessions a resolution was in troduced and passed unanimous ly asking ' the several boards of regents and trustees of the insti tutions of higher education in Oregon to join in a petition to our state legislature to pass a law forbidding the licensing of sa loons' within five miles of any in stitution of secondary education in Oregon. While the resolu tion was pending and under dis cussion the president of the Ore gon Agricultural College made a strong plea for the resolution saying among other things that in his canvass for students throughout the state he found many parents who absoluely re fused to send their children to the OAC because of the tempta tions thrown in the way of young people by the saloons of Corvallis. And in canvassing for students for Philomath College ' I can say that I have found many parents who said that they would like very much to avail 'themselves of the excellent facilities of the OAC for the education of their child ren, but could not afford to sub- iect them to the pernicious in- !fluencef!of the. saloons tf . Cot- valhs. It am sure mat tne pa tronage of the OAC would be largely increased, by the enact- . .1 j v.. ment oi ine proposeu purn-y. The faculty of Philomath Col lege has been put to more trou ble from drunkenness caused by liquor obtained from saloons of Corvallis than from all other causes put together. I am satis fied that the city council of Cor vallis is not cognizant ot that fact for they recognize the uni versal principle .that one man's rights cease where trre other man's rights begin; that they would not barter away the in terests of these " two institutions of learning for the paltry license fees paid into the city treasury. ' Nightwatch Osburn told me ! lastfspting that, the city requited him to visit each saloon every night for said he, you know it there is any devilment brewing it is sure to be in the "saloons. The brewery brews beer and the beer devilment, according io the testimony ot the nightwatch, and in popular parlance we would say his head is level. Institu tions that brew deviltry do not make good environment for ir - stitutions of education. If there is one protessor of the OACv who thinks that saloons are a benint to that institution I would lik,e to have him state the fact and rea son's for so thinking and put it over his signature and give it to the public; it would give some comfort to Bishop Potter.
