388 HISTORY OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT; OR, 



suppose if I raise 1200 bushels of wheat that I had 

 rather get $1200 for 1000 bushels of it, and keep the 

 other 200 bushels over, than to sell the whole for $1200 ? 

 This is a lesson we hope to teach the farmers in the 

 Grange. I and my brothers raise vegetables and small 

 fruits for the market here in Oshkosh, and do a profit- 

 able business, but we don't go to market in the morn- 

 ing and ask people how much they will give us for what 

 we have to sell ; if we did we should have failed long 

 ago. We fix our price, and we don't sell for less than 

 that price.' "
