B. BURTON, W""‘“ R I W d ey B e want 0 put vour L 0 m &'“"Ehlfllr tlll!n an« Toe (Written. Specially for The Bulletin.) T've been having a rather good fllus- tration this fall of the way in which many farmers lose what belongs to them. Let me tell you about it. Last spring | had fewer lambs th usual. Three promising ewes proved barren; and I lost several young things uu-ou‘ unpredictable and unprevent- able akcidents. ‘Consequently my gross income from the sale of lamb to be smaller than usual—sm: n I had been accustomed to and smaller than I had banked on. It behooved me, therefore, to get all that was possibly coming to me from the residue. they be to get big enough to turn off 1 'set out to inquire about prices. The dealers in live lambs_ talked 5.1-2 cents; one of them, seeing that mine were extra large and fat, thought he might, perhaps, stretch it to 6 ‘cents. But he wouldn't promise to pay that for any but the first one. If he could get rid of that one and “save” himself, why then, maybe, he'd try some more, etc., ete. At that very time that very man was charging 25 cents for hindquarters and 20 cents for forequarters and 22 cents for chops from his cart™ Now I know as.little about the butchering busines as any man can who hates 1 things. I've avolded everything con- nected with it as much as I could, all my life. But it really seemed to me as if there was a l-e-e-t-l-e too wide a difference between the price of my lambs, to. me, and the price to the con- sumer. I decided to try the thing out, just for once, and see if I couldn't get back at least what the lamb had cost me to raise. So onme consumer and I “got together.” He was feeling sore over what seemed to him the exorbi- tant price charged him for -dressed Jamb. He grew as indignant as I when he learned what the dealers were of- fering the producers. He could use half a lamb. Between us we scared up. (& third who could use the other haif. So | came back home and dressed a lamb. It weighed eighty pounds, alive. The two dressed halves weighed forty- one pounds and a fraction. I sold them at 16 cents a pound. 1 also had the pelt, which I sold for 58 cents. A liver-loving, neighbor took the liver, heart, etc., at 40 cents, This brought my receipts for the lamb up to $7.54, agalnst $4.80 offered by the butcher— an advance of §$2.74. 1 made that amount, clear, by going direct to the consumer; the consumer saved more than an equal amount by coming direct to the producar. It was an economy to both of us. ' I netted about 9 1-2 cents, live weight, for my lamb, which is quite an improvement over the 8 cents which was hesitatingly offered by the dealer. It represents the difference be- tween the bare cost of production and maintenance and sald cost with a liv- ing profit added. Since that time | have had no trouble at all in selling all the dressed lamb 1 wished to dispose of at similarly re- munerative prices. Those customers who find that they can buy lamb which they know to be fresh, which they can see to be fat, which their eating proves to be tender and sweet—they are eager to get more of it especially when they can also save themselves money by buying it. (It's a good thing for them, and a good thing for me. We're both pleased and both profited. Mind you, the figures I'm giving are only applicable to this one little rural town. Prices to sellers and cost to consumers may vary widely in other localities. But, unless my experience and observation are at fault, the un- derlying principle governs in practical- ly all places. The farmer is getting less than his goods &re really worth and the ultimate congumer is paying more than they are realiy worth. Both producer and consumer spend more or less of their spare timis kicking the middleman. e, thrifty soul, takes their kicks and their money and looks pleasant. e fial Now I'm not slang-whanging th middleman at this juncture. He’ probably not an angel; nor is he like- ly a flend. He's a man like the rest of us, made up of about the same ele- ments, and actuated by about the same motives and principles. He takes what he can get—don’t we all-do about that same? Don't we-all' want to buy where we can buy cheapest and seil where we can get the highest price? Why should we shy stones at a man for “doing the same that we are all trying to do? Perhaps you and I might not do exactly the thing he does in a certaln individual case, but the chanées are that we'd “average up” about even in the long Tun. He may be ‘a little meaner than we in some ways; probably we're a bit meaner than he in some othérs, We're all “poor miserable sinners,” and the cir- cumstance that we only say so on Sunday doesn’t alter the that we are so all the week. “It sand years ago; It is today. That it's a mighty poor sort of human e should inspire us to a reformat of our own brand, rather than a de ciation of the other fellow’ really, you know, we're not responsible for him in any such degree as we are for our own dear selves. Moreover and furthermore, the fact that somebody else reedy and gralping amn't in_the least excuse us for being fools. A neighbor of lulne, in a large market in the nearest Cfty, saw a farmer sell two carcasses of lamb —good lamb, fat lamb—the other day, at 12 cents a pound, dressed, at the very time wien I was getting and he could have got 16 cents a pound. Now that marketman wasn't any more to blame for buying the meat for less than it was worth than Mr. Farmer was for selling it for less than it was worth. "It takes two to make a bar- gain. The one can't buy unless the other will sell. The buyer couldn’t have picke: up that extra four cents unless the farmer ' had thrown it away. “But every farmer is competing against every other farmer, and we're all cutting our own throa you say. Don't you suppose the middleman has any compétition? Don't; you suppose Nis rivals are eager to cut his busi- ness throat? He has got to ‘keep his ears wide open and his weather eye lifting and his bargain sense alert all the time or he will find himself out- generalled and driven from the field. He has got to look out for his own interests, and you and I have got to look cut for our own.. We aren’t sup- posed to safeguard gim, and you may be sure he isn't “cosseting’ us. We farmers must protect ourselve: if we are going to have any protection. That seems to be the law of things. That more organization woul! help along in this line is probable. That a wider circulation of knowledge about market needs and supplies would help is also probable. ut all those he we must wait for find finally get only in combinations and.as compromises. There remains the chance offered to individual foresight. and individual judgment and individual self-restraint. Right there is a fleld where each one of us can help himself. Whatever gain he secures in that area he secures per- manently and for himself. Whatever profit he wins in that way goes to his own pocket. We don't have to keep in the rut somebody else has made. We are not compelled Jo do things just as father did them, or as the neighbors do them. There is no occupation on earth which affords opportunity for wider diversification of work and pro- duction than ours. If we can’t ralse wheat at a profit, how about potatoes? If potatoes won't pay, we can try rye. It none of these things produce a prof- "it, there's the fruit orchard or the veg- etable garden. If sheep and lambs fall, how about eggs and brollers? Why, I could go on and fill up this column with a bare catalogue of the various sorts of farming which are open to us, Nor are we absolutely at the mercy of any one market. Often ‘we can make our own markets; often We can play two against each other. But anyway, and in case, If we aren't gelting fair pay for our work and our products, the very first per- sons to haul over the coals are our- selves and not somebody else. The chances are certainly even that we are ourselves largely and wholly responsi- ble. i “The fault, dear Brutus, Is not In our stars, Bat n ourselves, fhat we are under- lings.” Brawn and brains are requisites for succe.s in this world. A man can't be a farmer without brawn; surely 1 am- not going (o Insul a to which T am proud to belong by pre- suming that its members are shy on brains. No; the trouble is’ not that 't brains, but that so many t use what we've got. helps them that help themselves.” ney said it in the 16th century; Her- vert in the 17th; Benjamin Franklin in the 18th; you and I have the right to say It In the 20th.
