miscarriages or delays of which the
agency is aware. So few are the ship

for delivering, and rather than have a

conclude it is better { discontinue the

DEAR SIR: I wish to say that the corn
and COB mill bought for me by you has
been in use IN my farm for several
weeks, and il has given entire satisfac-
ton. IG Is very simple in construction
and operation, strong and Of easy drafC.
We grind four to five bushels corn and
cob per hour with one good sjz mule

than pure whole corn, ana is a great
saving. Respectfully,
I'M BRoUGHToN.

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is In North
Carolina: I'VE happened at q depot in
this State aud saw an Ocala wagon
from Cary, N. c.. ordered through the
State Exchange, put eff the freight
train. There were present three Ait
8nCeG2on, each Of whom had some time
previous bought wag Dns. Prices were
compared and 1t was found that these
brethren had paid from 81 to IS more
for thPir wagons than this one had
cost. These brethren had lost enough
to pay for the Cotton plant from four
TO eight years. besides sinking Just
81 50 that should have gone TO the
credit Of the State Exchange. Is such
business or Common sense, brOther7
