There is very general understanding among farmers
as to supply and probable demand of this seed. No
reasonable man, who knows the facts, doubts for a
moment but that they will into general use just
as rapidly the seed be had dspacing all others
from soil If the entire product could be retained
in this country, it would require two crops to
supply the seed wanted. But it is rapidly becoming
known in other ceuntres. While have not courted
foreign orders, wishing to that market for
another year. the few samples sent there last year have
produced well that orders daily reaching from
all pats of Europe Even Norway is looking to us for
seed that bears her name, several important orders
having been received from there. Nearly fifteen per
cent the last crop will be exported and probably not
less than 3 of the next will find ready sales abroad
With tn csc facts before u.s. cannot expect very
great reduction in price of seed next year. We have
shown that at price of ordinary OATS they are profit
able crop. At 81 per bushel they will pay handsomely
but at So 81 it easy matter for farmer to pay
off mortgages or build new house from few acres
Last season 9acre lot yielded S11 $50 to New York
farmer, larger sum than he had made in ten years
farming. a Wisconsin farmer did still better; and
hundreds have made small fortunes These facts can
be fully proven any day by undoubted Testimony While
these high prices last it is speculation but Il safe
and We hope farmer will buy this seed unless
he fully believes he is doing himself greater favor than
he is Many have thanked forurging them to buy
last year, and thousands viii do SO next year

JOHN V. FARwE1L & Co., 1O6, 1O8, 40 and
112 Wabash Avenue, Wholesale Dealers IN Dry
Goods Woolens, and Notions, finding their
old store too small for their increasing bust,
ness, have built this spacious new store, "
by 164 feet. with seven floors containing
nearly two acres of roon-in the most sui
stantial manner, with convenient offices and
massive stairways finished in black walnut,
elevators for conveying goods to and from the
packing room, and passenger car for trans
ferring customers from floor to floor. 1t ls
admirably lighted from top to basement, and
all the interior arrangements combine to
make it the most complete dry goods store IN
Chicago. The basement is occupied with
domestic goods; the 1st floor with dress
goods, shaWls, balmorals and prints; the I'd
with woolens; the Sd and 4th floors with white
goods, hosiery, fancy goods and notions; the
9Th with duplicate stock; and the 9Th for
packing room. Their stock in each depart
ment exceeds in extent and completeness,
that of any exclusively Wholesale house in
that line They never compete with their
own customers by retailing their goods, and
have larger wholesale trade than any other
wholesale dry goods firm in the Northwest.
In their old store they sold nine millions a
year. With twice the amount of room and

greatly increased facilities, abundant capital
the opening of new markets by the compile
ton of the Pacific Railway, and the RAPID
growth of the Northwest, and the prestige OF
the Oldest and most successful dry goods
house west of New York, the future increase
of their business will undoubtedly preserve
for them the pre-eminence they have 80
worthily won.
KIRKLAND, ORDwAY & Co., 1Ol Wabash Ave-

present commodious quarters, in the shape
of an T. with frontage on Wabash Avenue
of % feet by 80 feet deep, and on Washington
street of 81 feet by SO feet deep, and seven
stories high. Three of the floors are occu-
pied as-salesrooms; the other floors for ther
factory. They are connected with Eastern
Manufacturers, have been in business here
six years, and their trade now extends ali
over the Northwest. They have the best
facilities for supplying the trade with large
and very choice stock of goods adapted to
the wants OF Western purchasers at the low
est cash prices. And their experience, enter,
prise and fair dealing commend them to I'll
who wish to buy the best goods for the least
money.

rags, paper stock, paper makers materials,
&C., have recently removed into their mag
nifcent new store-built expressly for their
wide, ten rods deep, and seven stories hlgh,
including basement, making it the largest
and most convenient paper warehouse in this
country. The arrangements for handling
their goods, by steam and machinery, are
perfect, and their stock-in quantity and
quality-correspo with their capaclous
and elegant surroundings. They are about
adding to their list a large stock Of book bind
ers' materials of all kinds. The oldest and
largest paper house in the west, having been
established in Chicago in 1874, it has grown
steadily for twenty-slx years. till it's annual
business reaches nearly million dollars, and
it's trade extends from the Alleghanies to the
Pacific. They are sole agents for the Owen
Paper Company, Holyoke Paper COMPANY,
Russell Manila Company and Print and Book
Paper Mills, and they keep everything be-
longing to the wholesale paper business, OF
the best quality and at the lowest cash pri-
ces. We can certify to their fair dealing
through years of large business transactions.
Their increasing trade, for more than quar-
ter of a century, is the best public common
dation.

We have been to considerable expense ia putting
farmers their guard against the frauds that
being perpetrated in the sale of Seed Oats, but not
until recently did realize the magnitude of these
swindes H W. Marshall, of Cincinnati, Ohio has
issued circular much of the contents of which has
been copied flom ours, representing that he is
authorized agent for the West, for the sale of the
RamsdeI Norway Oats seed. We informed by
reliable parties in Cincinnati that he has sent out
Ha Million of these circulars and is receiving
thousands of orders. He is swindler has had
any of Seed nor any communication with
N. P Boyer & Co., publishers of country paper
somewhere in Penn, issued circular in similar man
ner, claiming to have our SEEDS but when exposed
the fraud they changed their tactics, and
advertising that they import seed from Norway. This
dodge ridiculous in view of the fact that seed
from NORWAY and that filling orders
from that country, that intelligent farmers not
likely to be deceived by it. Samples sent us, which
came from them, have been pronounced New Bruins
