SAVINGS,

adage which Is oil more Importance 10 tue
farmers in this section than they are will
ing to admit 1t has been wonder to
many who have large farms in the neigh
borhood. how the farmers in Chester and
/ Delaware Counties, Pa with their farms
| Of 100 acres or less, can make enough
money by their regular crops Of wheat,
corn aud oats, to live. and save some Tor
| investment for rainy day. The secret
is. in saving all tha, their farms produce.
and in prodaciag aH that they can sre.
The losses TO the farmers Of this Pcninsu-
Ia during a heavy fruit crop will count |
millions Of dollars. and the interest in lo
years upon that loss, would make every |
farm rich and capable Of producing for
saring tens Of millions Of dollars. The
loss is occasioned through various causes,
want Of attention tho least. Want Of labor
is one. bu, one that can be overcome by
good wages which eau be afforded by the
saving Of the (now) loss The most i'm
poriapt, and in fact only cause for much
ioss is want Of a ready market without
. heavy freigh,s and commissions. II this
Peninsula had one or two largo cities
, within its boundaries, there would be no
cause for any loss. all could be gathered
, and sold to some profit In the absence
Of this feeder, why not take the next best
F., course and establish something which will
g come as near the city markets as possible,
c that is. market for all produce raised
