FARM MACHINERY.
Some Buy Too Much of It, and Others n
Qaito Enough.

Some Buy Too Much of 1t, and Others Not
Qaite Enough.
One may easily go to either extreme
on almost any question. This is GER
tainly true in the matter Of buying
farm implements and machinery. A
prominent place in the causes of fail
ure Of not a few farmers should be
given to their habit Of recklessly buy
ing farm machinery when not needed,
and of neglecting to care for it. after
it is bought. Where one has a good
implement or machine, it is folly to
throw it aside and purchase another
because of some trifiing claimed inn
proyement. On the other hand, it is
atleast equal folly to continue to use
nearly worn-out or inferior tools, neg
Letting to avail oneself of important i'm.
provements. A noticeable tendency Of
agriculture in the prairie regions,
which are so admirably fitted for the
use Of farm machinery, is to reduce
hand labor to a minimum. It is not
only ATTEMPTED to do almost all parts Of
field culture work by the aid of horse
drawn machinery, but to do it with
the smallest possible number of men.
Wide-cutting or gang plows, harrows
or cultivators, or seeders, and SO of
mowers and reapers, are becoming
more common. Many Of the new ma
chimes are decidedly better than the
older ones Of the same class; some are
not. It many cases it will be clear
gain to buy new machinery; just as in
others it would be needless waste Of
money. .
II the new plow will cut an inch or
two wider than the old one with no i'm
crease in draft, it will soon pay for it
self # equally good work can be done
with harrow which cuts fifteen feet
instead Of ten, the saving in cost of
labor will soon equal the cost Of the
harrow. One or two bushels increase
per acre in the yield of corn on the
area which can be cultivsted with q

Baker said in part:
81 was living in Beaufort county, and on
the Cd day of October, 1893, Twas stricken
down with typhoid fever. had the best
OF physicians to attend me and on the 18th
day of January, 1894, was allowed to get
up. Twas emaciated, weak and had no ap-
petite. I could only drag along for short
distance and would be compelled to sit
down and rest. This continued for some
time and I began to give up hope of ever
getting well. I lost my position in Beau
fort county and having secured one in Pitt
county, clerking in store, undertook it.
but was SO weak could not do the work,
and had to give itup. The disease settled in
my knees, legs and feet. was taking first
ekind Of medicine and then another, but
nothing did me any good. Twas mighty
low spirited. I moved out to Col Sugg's
about four or five months ago and com
menced taking DR.. Williams Pills. I took
three a day for about three months. began
to regain my appetite in a weeks time.
and then my weakness began to disappear,
and hope sprung up with a blessedness that
Is beyond all telling, AT the expiration of
the three months was entirely cured and
could take my axe and go in the woods and
do as good days work as any man. Twas
troubled with dyspepsia and that has disap-

We were forcibly struck with the earnest

relied on.

to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
