The Homestead otter Thla Year.
"t
AH our farmer readers should take
advantage of the unprecedented club
bing offer we this year make, which
includes with this paper, The Iowa
Homestead, its Special Farmers' In
stitute editions, The Poultry Farmer
and the Farmers' Mutual Insurance
Journal. These four publications are
the best of their class and shoOld be
in every farm home. To them we add
for local, county and general news our
own paper and make the price for the
five for one year fl.70. Never before
was so much superior reading matter
offered for so small an amount of
money. The four papers named which
we club with our own are well known
throughout the west and commend
themselves to the reader's favorable
attention upon mere mention. The
Homestead is the great agricultural and
live stock paper of tbe West. The
Poultry Farmer ig the most practical
poultry paper for the farmer published
in the country The Farmers' Mutual
Insurance Journal is the special advo
cate of farmers' co-operative associations
and ihe Special Farmers' Institute
editions are the most practical publica
tions for the promotion of good farming
ever published. Take advantage of this
great offer.
It is getting to be a great gag, the ex
cuse for raising prices because of the ad
vance in raw material. There has been
no advance in the price of any raw
material—and I defy any man to prove
it. It is simply the excuse of the
profit monger for his extortion. A.11
raw material comes from the earth and
costs only the labor of getting. There
is no advance in the price of that labor
and improved methods make the getting
cost less than ever before. One reader
sends me the notice of advance in the
price of raw silk as an excuse for an
advance in prices. Does it cost more
to-day to unwind the cocoons? Or have
the Bilk worms struck for higher wages?
New methods are continually cheapen
ing the time necessary to produce silk,
wages are not higher, and the excuse
offered for the extortion is very clumsy.
If they would say that the source of
production is in the hands of a few who
have decided to extort it would have at
least the merit of being true. The cost
of producing raw material has been
reduced. The recent advance in prices
is extortion, pure and simple.—Appeal
to Reason.
