Valuable Advise for the Farmers to
Consider and Profit by.
The Alliance Vindicator, published

an intelligent farmer Of many years ex'
perienoe, gives the following practical
and sound advice to our farmers, which
should be needed with care ard
thought:
..The time is near at hand when the
present cotton crop will b. picked and
sold. aud then the farmers will begin
to prepare for the next crop. With
this in view we take the liberty Of MAX
ing q few suggestions te them.
In the first place the cotton acrea"e
should pa cut down considerably next
year. for there Is no msney IN raising
1t at the present price, and under pros
ept conditions we canaot hope for "A
better prize. for the Aeecy staple. DC
not turn this land out, but prepare IL
for hay, and other crops that you can
make use 1t. .o...
Make everythin. at homs that yoa
need. for tha time is past when y"s
can bav 1t with cottoa. If you do not
raise II you must necessarily do with
out. @.
Take care Of your pea seed and
plant Of them. The growth OF psas
will improve your Land, besides they
make an excellent hay, and the hogs
can bs fattaned in tho field without
any trouble.
Be- sparing with your corr, for every
indication points to II scarcity OF this
most valuable grain. 1t Is now worth
more than itis bringing. and the only
way to get its worth IL to hold 1t till
spring. Corn is now being shipped
from the South to the Northwest, some
thing new in the history OF this coun'
Goobers make an excellent crop for
fattening hogs, as also do squashes,
pumpkins and other vegetables. Cat
lie eat pumpkins with Il relish, which
shou!d make ita very valuable plant.
They are easily raised on good land.
Be economical in buying your sup
plies. and try to get them tor the low
est figures possible. Call on the va
rious merchants for their best prices,
and thus force competition to play to
your advantage. 4..-
Do not buy on credit II you can pos.
sibly help It, for the day has passed
when YOU can pay the credit price OF
goods with cot ton; 1t Is all you can do
Is nav the cash price, and then you get
q very email amount Of goods for your
crop.
