AUCTIONS. H. MATRON AND CQ. AGAIN FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. AGAIN FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. AGAIN' FOOT/ AND /MOUTH DISEASE, An outbreak baa: been discovered in Sussex, and a 15-mile .radius is now prohibited. • We are in receipt of ,a letter, the writer of which came to New Zealand in 1675. For the- prevoua 11 years he bad worked on his father'.s farm, and they actually had all their own cattle down with the Foot and Month Disease. He says since that period he has been Home eight times, -and every time he" has gone Home Foot and Month Disease has been in one pari of England or another. New Zealand wants to facilitate im' portation of stock from. Great Britain —we do not* know. : Our. flocks leave very little to be desired, and ahould they want build' ing up with bone, fleece, or carcase, the train' ing 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 CO. "QQ T OUT THE MIDDLE MAN." ... > ' Most of us in our time have used the phrase: "Out out the middle man." Most „0f u« have receive or 6i v w that advice, It is one of the catchwords that are i—changed when men are talking At large about business, as they do in a railway carriage or at a committee meeting. -Young men use it around the time they change over from a cigarette to a pipe. Old men use it by the club firo. Those who follow experience rather than catchwords know that it is difficult, and often unprofitable, to cut out thn middle man. They have found that the middle man, like every other in the business world, exists by the service he renders, and as soon as he ceases to give that sorvioo he cuts himself . out. ' s . The boarding-house keeper reads that the fishermen in the harbour aro getting a farthing a pound for their herring. She finds she ha* to pay 3d a pound. She thinks how profitable it would be if. she could get her fish dir.eot from tjie trawler. The skipper thinks how profitable it would be if ho eonld deal direct with the boarding-house keeper. But it is a long way-from port to city, if the two are tobe brgughtinto touch some sort of organisation has to be devised. The boardiiig-houfo keeper decides it would be advantageous to. combine her order with tjiat of the house next door and that, of her sister at the other end ot the street. The skipper decides he. had better get », man ashore to deal with the orders, as he must be off to catch the tide.' Hey preßtol the orttnlsation and the middle men oogw into existence. So ft ia with pearls and potatoes, cotton and cabbages. Consumers and growers alike spasmodically grumble at the middle man. Occasionally th6y try •to do for themselves what the - middle man has been doing for them. If they find thai he has been render, ing then) no. service he is eliminated and passes out of existence like' every other person tries to live by, taking money for nothing.' Most often they find that the men between the potatoes in tho field and the person who oats them are each performing a function at least a» difficult as growing potatoes, are doing something for the eater and,: the grower better and : more cheaply thtiu they could do it for themselves. The process of production of .coal has a long, long way to go after the man at tho coal face has done his shift. I The man who devises an advertisement - which finds tho coal a market' is as much a coal producer as the'hewer or the checkwnlgbtman. So llt is with the whole of modefll > economic Ufe. Production is a long and complex process that embraces tho difficult processes of distribution and salesmanship. There are redundant selling organisations as there are redundant manufacturing organisations. Both of them get "cutout" of thd productive process by the drastlo Surgery of economio competition. , ■I ''f' ti'VM/ ' 1 -H \° The ' possibility 'of being OUT OUT", had no fear .for us. 65 gears of ' trading as bonafide stock and station agents extending to all-those'who have . entrusted business to us.
