such that local deficiencies are made up from

Mr. 5. \. Williums-"T'his question involves
good many diverse elements. which make It
Il difficult one t. answer. The most that W.
can do is to lay down Il INV general princip--.
winch underIic tn" subject - the first pla",..
in this section, w ShOU.d yet IL much stable
manure lis possible, crow rs much EraS; as
possible, and market the farm products on hout
or through milk dairy. The second princIli'.
is 10 get the products to market as soon as C.u
conveniently lie done after they are ready ter

Mr. William Webster -Four crops out uf

Williams SAYS. certain principles are always 10

he done best by manure Mr.. Webster mon
Toned AN instance where this was done. "A
Young man had is high its 3 head of cattle or
% acres, his land is like garden. and The
whole secret Is IN returning The products to ii"
soil in stable manure.
Ir. L. p. Muores -"Furmcrs generally sell
when they need the money. Sell wheat rs soon
thraShed, potatoes when dug, and cattle as
soon as in condition for the market. This is as
good rule as any. SiXty-tiVe cents for wheat
last August is good as Scventy-tive now.
one dollar and SeNcnty-hve for corn last fall
would he rs good aS two dollars now.
Mr.. Archcr--"l think il is best to sell when
yuu have Il buyer who is anxious to buy. II 4
buyer comes to your place and offers you Il
lair price, II general rule, 1t is better to sell.
1t you must go TO II man and ask him to buy,
you are always ut Il disadvantage. Not only
sell when you thrash, but thrash early. A
farmer can't afford and ought not to be Il
speculatOr. He is only producer. If he buys
cattle with an intention to sell at Il certain
time it is better not 10 hold over long after
that time, if he does he becomes Il SpcculatOr.
! would rather sell ut home at fair price than
run risks by sending products Off for sale
Mr.. Harlan-''I agree with Mr.. Williams that
it is best to feed most of the produce on the
farm, especially when railroad facilities are not
good. We can generally feed the corn to bet
ter advantage than to sell il, and | think II IL
good plan To feed it into hogs Mr.. WySong
laQ mentioned the Farmers Market. ana Mr..
Harlan said on the subject: The object OF
the Farmers Market is to do away with the
middle man us far as possible, and make mar
-sct for many things that are hard to dis
yft1Se of adVantageOuSly on the farm. He
mentioned an instance of man who
had farm OF 100 ucrcS, ami WAS losing money
every year He sold his farm and bought five
acres near city and rented Il stall in Il Farm
ers' Market. and made more OF the > ac Is
than he had gotten OF the 100 acres. Best
time To sell is obviously when we can get Tie

thinks he has that. circumstances viii sol o.
times compel IL farmer TO sell ut other times. =
MIR. Harlan stated that he had some cXpcric'c4
i'll selling wheat from the machine. and IhIub ~
il paid. His usual course had been TO put il in
tie granary first.
Mr. Robert f. Hanna-"This is hard subject

nave more bushels then than later. Ii pays To
