It hardly seems creditable that farmers otherwise bright and Intel ligent, will persist in following the old ruts year after year. They do not eeem to realize that the methods used by our forefathers, in the care of manure were costly, and that by a small Investment of time and money shelter can be provided for tha stock and the manure pile, which will save the hundreds of dollars they are now losing.

The scarcity of cattle and the Increasing population are said to be responsible for the high prices which prevail. character. As a result they will stand by him in this political crisis, for they know him as he Is the man who will guide the ship of state out of the stormy sea of adversity back to the harbor of prosperity. Colonel Roosevelt has only one class of enemies, and they are the .latins A. I'atten, a prominent ns. politicians who hope to gain by hav- ure in the Chicago Board of Trade, states that two successive bumper crops are necessary before there can be n material change in meat prices. He declares that it must be so plen tiful as to be fed to stock to sell at a profit. Mr. Pntten's opinion would lug their man elected, but the rank and file are with the progressive candidate the man of the hour, who has promised relief from the in tolerable conditions which surround us at the present time, it must be admitted that the ex-prtsident is the be 'worth something if he had taken strongest character in public life in Into consideration the constant in- i this country at the present timt.

It is often remarked of late that there is ;i'n unusual number of can vassed covered wagons passing through the city this summer. Every day some few arrive and depart going either east or west and some days a dozen or more can r 'oiinted. These rigs contain as a r ile, whole families and are loaded with tamp equipage 1 and forage for teams. There is cer- I talnly double- the number passing this ear that there was last. When Wf add to this class of transporta tion the hundreds of automobiles go Inp through every month It proves that this Is an unusual summer for travel of this kind.

"Each member of the association signs a contract and agrees to fol low the requirements of the associa tion, which are: "First, to gather eggs daily, to pack all eggs in cartons (paper boxes holding one dozen each), to put In each carton only dean, fresh eggs of uniform color, shape and size. "fV-cond, to stamp each egg with the association brand and his own number and to deliver same for ship ment at specified dates. This method enables the association to. guarantee their eggs, and if any are found in any carton that are not up to the grade, the numbers and brand on the egg Identify it and enable the associ ation to place the blame on the pro ducer responsible for It. "During the first eight months of the existence of this association Its members Increased from sixty to eighty. "Twenty-five thousand dozen of eggs were handled, which brought its members $4.!40, or twenty-two cents per dozen, while the same eggs, If sold In the old way, would have brought but $3,740, or seventeen cents per dozen, making a difference of $1,100, or $l.'..7t for e;;ch day of the seventy ineiiibei s. This addi tional amount of $2 per month per member was secured simply by plac ing clean, fresh eggs on the market, Instead of marketing them in the old careless way. "The sanij" method of marketing is now practised in several plates in Minnesota in connection with the co operative creameries and is bringing equally satisfactory results.

Put Your Farm on a Business Basis YOU may be spending much more than is necessary (or power to do your plow inp, seeding, harrowing, cultivatinjr, harvest ing, threshing, silage cutting, hauling, etc., etc. An I II C kerosene-gasoline tractor re duces the cost of plowing from about $1.25 an acre with horses, to less than half that amount. A like proportion of saving can be made by using an I II C tractor for the other operations. An I H C Kerosene -Gasoline Tractor can be used for so many different kinds of work that you will find almost constant use for it on your farm. It furnishes the cheapest and handiest form of power for belt and draw bar work. An I II C tractor is simple and therefore easy to manage. It carries its own supply of fuel. It is clean and safe, making neither smoke, soot, nor sparks. There is no limit to its working hours. All bearings are protected from flying dirt, sand and grit. There are no rapidly mov ing parts to be quickly worn out. I H C tractors are built in 12, 15, 20, 25, and 45 horse power sizes. I H C engines for general purposes on the farm or in mill, shop, and fac tory are made in sizes from 1 to 50-hcre power. The complete I H C engine line includes the tractors and also horizontal and vertical en gines; air and water-cooled; stationary, port able and mounted on skids; built to operate on gas, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, distillate, and alcohol.
