Ton may know something about the
modus operandi of the traveling gro
cer, and how the house after paying
him per cent commission still
makes a princely profit There mav
be some things inside itfTalrs that it is
w-ell that the people in general may
Know. It will be found on close Inves
ligation that the average Mercantile
Supply company, Buyers' association
or whatever name is used to gull the
uoauapcrcung tanner, consists of one
or tw scheint rs. who have a smull office room in BOOM large city, and a
back room In the near neighborhood where the storei " are stored and the
re packing and the mixing done. The re-packing arid the mixing are two important parts of the work of the "OOmpgliy." When the ' representa tivf ' sflls John Jones 100 jKiunds of sugar for 4,Q; five cases of canned goods et $2.40 a case; three boaei of dried fruits at ten cents a pound, a few gallons of extract at a bartain
and ten or 15 pounds of spices at a profit of -00 per cent., the order is sent to the home office." There it is
recorded. The boy is sent down to the wholesale grocery house which gen eralh stands in with the concern, brings back a lot of ordinary bulk drfe.l fruits, the cases of seconds or thirds, in canned goods, and the average run of poor spices. In the pack ing room the dried fruits are overhauled, washed up if possible as in the case of prunes, and packed In boxes, supposed to contain full 25 pounds, but only run from 18 to 22; branded with some fictitious mark ,
and shipped out with the other supplies The spices are dumped out. and again run through a mill with a lot of ground nut-shells, bark or other matter, and perhaps some bran or other cheap material is added. The extracts are of the cheajest class, synthetic, and the pure fruit flavors are products of coal tar. doctored up with coloring matter to look good. The label is the only pure thing about it aside from the glass in the bottle
containing it.
t fact, the tricks of the boxcar
outfits are legion. The teas sold are
never up to the BBJOplea shown. In
one case a BOhemer traveled over the ccunry carrying with him samples of
Ceylon ;as that were worth 45 cents a pounJ wholesale. He agreed to sun-
piy thh ta at 50 cents. He received
large orders. Kvery order was fllk-d with f as that cost only 20 cents a p-und. and the funny thing about it naa that there was no kicking, be OMM the farmers knew nothing about teas, and were satisfied as long as they thought that they had a fine "ey!on article. The same way with coffees If there is anything that even coffee experts know little about it is coffee. It is a wise merchant who knows the classes of coffees he is handling. The box car man generally .-how s up a cheap bigerry. tells all ab .ut it being a great mountain Mocha and sells three pounds for a dollar, and buys it at 16 or 17 cents a pound. Should the local grocer try to sell the same grade to his customers at such a
price, mere would go up a roar that would raise the roof of the store. Still the farmer continues to bite at such baits, and doesn't squeal.
How the Mail Order Business Injures the Agricultural Sections We must admit tbtl the mall order s .-: m is a legitimate business if it is carried on legitimately u ia a great American privilege to carry od trade In this way. Yet the principle ffretn an American standpoint or any other standpoint that Is consistent with
equal rights for all bi entirely wrons Through the mail oroYr systeea the merchants suffer a dlmt lota. To them It Is an unfair competition. It diverts trede from cstal)iishd ckn
nels The loss of the merchants la the local town means a loss to the town it-If to e'- ry resident of the town ami the surrounding community it is the hsjsUMM of the city or town that makes it a live place or a deed one. Dependent upon the activity of a town is to a great extent the value of all faitu lands in its trade terrifnrv Thus is 'lie tanner affected bv am system that causes a deterioration iu his home town Yet the farmers are the main supporters of the catalogue houses They assist in feeding the snake that is stealing their eggs and they little realise it They are as vi tally Interested in the upbuildiag of their home town as the merchant. It Is for their benefit as well as for ail In the community that the town is there Then is a more vital phase of the MMtlM that few farmers realUe. That Is the evils resulting from the vast capital that Is concentrated In
the large financial centers. It is this I surplus of money that makes It easy i to build up trusts and combinations
ThOM trusts affect the affairs and the aroaperltjr of the farmer He does not stop to think that when he sends his
money to the distant concern that he is doing just so much to help along ,
the Trusts.
Flowr ef Artesian Well. To calculate the rate of flow rvf aa artesian well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of say 500 feet and then electrically explode a rap to burst the bottle. The time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate gauge as to the vcloctt) of flow It la claimed that this method gives results as accurate as a Wfir The diameter of the pipe being known, the rate of flow readily follows.

Where the Money Is. More than 40 per cent, of the populatlon of the United States proper liein less than a dozen eastern states These states are known as manuf i' firing states. In the banks of one. New TOfk state, is tVmtalned nearly 4i) per otal of the money of the conn try. New York city alone has in its bank s 'i; per cent, of the money in circulation.
