~ _ _ Very general approval has been expressed by farm;
ers of a central market, as suggested by the Guardian in
a recent issue. The idea is to hold a market on certain
days of the week or month, as may be found most con-
venient, at which cattle and other live stock, farm im-
plements or other articles shall be set tip at auction. The
Guardian has been asked to continue the advocacy of
this until the public become so thoroughly imbued with
its advantages that they will insist on its establishment.
It is one thing to advocate a new venture and a de-
cidedly different thing' to carry it out. That the idea of
a central market meets with general approval among the
farmers is certain but approval alone be it ever so elo-
quent and sincere will never start anything. What is
now needed is a start, if only by way of experiment, and
in the opinion of many with whom we have discussed the
question, a start would be easy.
There are, it is assumed, scattered over this province
hundreds of cattle ready for the slaughter house. The
butchers want these but do not know where they are.
and manv farmers who want to buy just such cattle but do
not know wheie to find them On many farms through
out the province thete are farm implements of various
kinds which their owners would gladly sell while there
are many others who would gladly buy such implements
' There are many feeders whose owners wish to sell them,
if they knew where to find them. _
l
Suppose then that a day were named on which such
.-_e.._.._._. _ _   _7 __ __ __ __

to

animals and implements would be offered at auction at
a central place; an auctioneer appointed, all animals and __
articles admitted free, the only fee to be exacted being
the auctioneer’s commission. Should it not be an induce- m
ment and a convenience to all farmers who wish either to* cl
» ‘I V
buy oi to sell. Q1]
In addition to the convenience to farmers there is tt.
even a greater consideration, namely, competition both in _’_‘i’_‘
ly
buying and selling. Under present conditions t'lie buyer
goes to the farmer, it may be miles away, and after the “
expense of.going and losing his day, he offers the farmer 1
the lowest price at. which it is possible to purchase the ani- ` -"'
mal. The farmer sells because he thinks -it is his last
chance, and loses several dollars on the sale. On the "
other hand the buyer may be held up by the farmer for a il.
bigger price than the animal is worth, bitt needing the at
beef he pays the additional price. If these animals. were |.~.,,.,-.,g,, ,,,,,,. Sm., .,_,-_ ,,,,, ,,_,,_,__,, _,,, __

set up at auction among others,,_with other buyers and _'
other sellers to bid both buyer and seller would get the If
benefit of t‘he actual market value. f
It has been observed that at all extensive auctions il-
of cattle, buyers come from the neighboring provinces Spb
and are usually our best customers. ff.
The inauguration of such a market should be easily ww

iio doubt, would be willingly borne by any group of farm- lf,
ers, preferably by a Farmers’ Institute. This provided, is
the place and time should be announced and the expert- if
ment would at least be tried out and in the opinion of
many farmers would be a success anti an established in- 'll
stitution.
