AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. AGAIN FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. AGAIN FOOT AND . MOUTH DISEASE. AGAIN FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. An outbreak lias been discovered in Sussex, and a 15-milo radius is now prohibited. We are in receipt of a letter, the writer of which came to New Zealand in 1876. For the provoua 11 years he" had worked on. his father's ■ farm, and they actually had all their own cattle down With the Foot 'ami j\l"-:th Disease. He says since that period li>j . iias been Heme eight times, and every time he had gone Home Foot and Month Disease has been in one part of England or another. Why New Zealand wants to facilitate importation of stock from Great Britain—-wo do not know. Onr flocks leave very little to be desired, and should. they want build* in# up With bone, fleece, or carcase, the training of the individual stock-owner should be, sufficient to provide the remedy in the method of feeding and application of minerals, etc. H. MATSON and 00. '£JUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN." Moßt of us in our time have used the phrase: "Chit out the middle nran." .Most of us have received or given that advice. It is one Of the catchwords that are exchanged when men are talking at large about business, as they do in a railway carriage or at a committee meeting. Young nien use it around the time they change over from a cigarette to a pipe. Old men use it by the club fire. Those who follow experience rather than c&tcfcwords kiidW that it is difficult, ana often unprofitable, to cut out the middle man. They have found that the middle man, like every othe* in the business world, exists by this service he renders, and bb soon as lie «6aB6S to give that service he cuts himself olit. The boarding-houso keeper reads that the fishermen in the harbour aro (Setting a farthing a pound for their herring, . she finds she has to p&y 3d a Sound, She thinks how pfofitabld It would he if Bhe could get her fish direct from the trawler. The skipper thinks how profitable It would be if he could deal direct With the bbarding-houso keeper. But it is a long way from pott to city. If the im are to be brought, into touch some sort of organisation has to be devised; The boarding-house keeper, decides it would be advantageous to combine her order With that Of the house dost doof and that of her sister at the other find of the street. The a kipper decides he had better get a ftan ashore to dial with the orders, as he must M oft t6 catch the tide. Hey prestol the organisation and the middle men come into existence. - v So it is with pearls and potatoes, cotton and cabbages. Oonsumnrs and growers alike spasmodically grumble at the. middle man. OceaMonaliy they try to do, for themselves what the middle aiaa has bfeen doing for th«a. If th«y find that he has been renderin* thOtti no service be is eliminated and passes out of existence like every other pefsoa who - tries t6 live by taking money for nothing. Most often they find that the men between the potatoes in the field and the perifliT who eatfc theirt Wre dacti porfornlitofc a function ttt least as difficult as growing potatoes, ar6 doing Something for the eater and the grower better and more cheaply than the» cOttld dfl it fot thewselv«s. The process of production of coal has. * long, long way to go after the man it the coal face has done nls shift. Tho man who demises an advertisement Which finds thO coal a market id as much a coal producer as the hewer or the chcekwMglitman. So it is with the Whole of modern economio life. Production 5b a long and complei process that embraces tho difficult Processes of distribution ntid salestnafithip. There a<o redundant Belllhg organisations bb there art redundant manufacturing ofgahlsatiotis. Both of them get "tnt out" of tho productive prOfcMs By tho drastic snrgety of economic : competition.

No doubt the steady lines along ' which we- have always conducted Out business and the sound adviee oft repeated by us, will, during the present* period of readjustment, be appreciated and remembered .by many of those who thought that our policy wasr perhaps, not modern enough. H.
