Agriculture ran do much to brli g '

activities and marketing thrtr own
products No matter what the sup
ply or demand; i-o matter wheth r
the farmer makes or loses on hlai
nips, (he middlemen make their
profits Jnat the same. The pro
lines go to the consumer with about
two dollars added to the one the
farmer get. Thla lu one of the I
ways the farmers' dollar Is demoni-
ll.'.ed
Hy force of organization t'.ie man
ufaeturcra, financial Interests and la
bor organizations refused to take a

ply and demand Tney coninuid
to keep the v. ,ig"s and prices up.
The manufacture. i were willing to
lontlnue wage scales so long as llu

All over the country there an
movements to help the farmer. In
rongresB many bills are Introduced
to this end, but few results are aP
parent. And many farmers are be
coming auspicious of the move

farmer leaders at the recent state
CI rang,, convention made the state-
vmI th the agricultural leaders
who were in close touc'i with affairs
n the east, believe that the big In
terests who steer national trans
act iona have decided to let agricul
ture work out their own salvation
while they go on and make goods.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
I'nltii State has taken this nosl
t'on that the farmer muat pull him
self out.
And all over the country the farm
ers are trying to pull themselves
out. Thousands of ro-operatlve or
ganizations are building up. aid
M they affiliate they are becom
ing a bin fore- la demanding that
their taxes be lowered; thnt ral'
road rates be ri lured and that their
products be given the aame tariff

ticles. In Iowa massed farmers are
demanding of the Incoming legisla
ture that their taws be based on
their net returns aid that t'ley be
given equal consideration with the

co-operative organizations are build

Turkey rais'ng la an Import - l
Industry because of the great n'r i
ber required for table on.mmpf'o i.
It Is altogether probable tVu thl
demand will continue for all V if
and In view of the prevailing price
during the past ilioade It 's ratVr
remarkable that the niimbi r raited
annually has steadily declined
While the western ractemstiot
states, from many viewpoin fg, are
naturally adapted to the growine of
turkeys, it is rather strange that,
with the execcptlon of f!a!?orn '.
they are far behind even when ti
mated on a per capita basis.
That there has been during the
past decade a decided decrease n
practically all parts of' the countr
is shown by the 1900 census which
reported the total number of tur
keys In the United Stn'es to be
6.594,fi95, or almost double the num
ber reported for 192"
There are a number of MS kaa for
the decrease In the nu uber raised,
but it may be assumed that the pr'n
clpal reason is the detail attention
which the turkey requires In coin
on rtson with other classes of poul
try. Blackhead has proven a men
ace to the induatrv and the ranire
problem is generally In ev'den-e
wherever increased production Is co h
teniolated.
There Is no line of business wl'h
out Its perils Concentration and
application are the watchwords in
anv occupation. Nature's laws are
trilevocablei and the most worthy
ambition of anyone la to conform to
her decree. For the capital In
vested there is perhaps no line of
production more profitable than
turkev raising when proper method-
are enployed.
e-perience of Mr. Win. H.
Ed'ev. of Powell, Wyoming. I Sho
shone protect) would seem to S im
port the claim on behalf of turkev
raising. He has a 40-acre tract
whic'i he croos to alfalfa, beans, po
tatoes ant irrain. During the sea
son of 19??. he concluded the ex
periment somewh&t tn the turkey
Industry and purchased a setting of
thoroughbred turkey eggs for $12,
which gave him ten turkey hens
with which to start the season of
19.1.
From t'-o ''ock he received a cash
return of and still has 13 hens
left for the 1V'4 -eason. This large
return Is accounted for, in part at
least, by the sale of 28 hens and 10
toms for use breeding stock. This
fat a bona fide record and was intro
riueotf into his system of diversi
fied farming without detriment eith
er to his crop or chicken business.
Mr. Edley was not an expert In
the turkey growing business and
what he has done on his 30 acres,
in addition to other lines, can easily
be accomplished by anv other person
of ordinary capacity and patience.
It Is suggested, however, that If
any of our readers contemplate en
gaging in this side line that they
address a communication to the
I". S. Department of Agriculture.
Washington. D. C . and ask for

Bill ons of Buttons
There are -D.ikm.ooo.otK) buttons
manufactured in this country annual
ly, and the Industry has grown to
such prxqiorttnns that It equals, in dol
lars invested, and value of products,
the cutlery Industry or the manufac
ture of oilcloths and linoleum. Ameri
ca has almost a monopoly on the manu

States were distributed equally among
the population each man, woman and

thousand left over for good measure.
