Something Worth Thinking

A. III. Wherry,of Lewis. (Ches-

wagon to get supplies the
lien? No, no. He came loaded
with--what do you suppose? The
articles and their proporti were
significant, one lone bale o, cotton
and about ten bales of peavine
hav.
He got his cotton cut and start

and asked the buyers what they
would give for it. They bid by
fractions of a cent, till he finally
closed at )!
He went back to his wagon to
find that several persons had
stopped TO enquire what he would
take for his hay. They didn't "cut"
it or "bid" on it they only asked
what he would take for it," He
named his price and got it.
Ten to one is good: some insist
on "siXteen to one" and we are
not sure that they are wrong We
do feel sure, however, that either
ratio, if applied in the right order
to hay, grain and the like on the
one hand and cotton on the other.

financial scheme that can be de-
vised by the government, good

question of any doubt the Cotton

means of communications is the
most important single medium Of
usefulness that the Alliance and
the State Exchange can have.
For the Exchange to meet with
any measure of success it is abso
lutely necessary that we have

the individual far ner. On the

Getting Ready for Next Years

In a recent number of Farming
World, MIR. Edwin X. Towie, an
esteemed contributor to The Pro

the benefit of his observations
and experience in the following
timely article:
1t is Of much Importance that
the farmer should, as far as posi-
BIZ, be IN readlne SIS to put the
seed in the ground at the most
favorable opportunity. This may
mean very much in the results at
harvest time. TO do this the best
possible preparation should be
made the preceding autumn and
during the winter.
The basis of al good and sue
cessful farming is in the blowing.
If this is done in the best manner
the rest Of the work Will be COM
paratively easy. but if it is per.
formed in haphazard way, the
work of puiverizing the soil and
culhvatlng the crops may be in
creased two or three fold. 1t Will

If the land TO be plowed is
stoney or contains other obstruc-

without this. These obstructlons
