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

HOME-MADE CORN CUTTER
Simple Device for Whose Construc

Sledge and Scythe Blade. '
Where large fields of corn are grown
a cheap, quick system of cutting th
crop is essentia. The simple device

Teadily constructed by any handy man
on a farm, is made from a sledge and a
scythe blade. The size need not be ex

not be too wide to go easily between thf

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.

Philomath, O t 17, 1904.
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.
