CHURNING DONE In ONE MINUTE.

I have tried the Lightning Churn,
you recently described in your paper.
and it is certainly a wonder. | can
churn in less then one minute, and the
butter is elegant, and you get con-
siderable more butter then when you
use a common churn. I took the agency
for the churn here, and every butter
maker that sees it buys one. l have
sold three dozen and they give the
best of satisfaction. I know I can
sell 100 in this township, as they churn
SO quickly, make SO much more butter
than common churns and are SO cheap.
Some one in every township can make
two or three hundred dollars selling
these churns. By addressing j. F.

you can make big money right at

But the wideawake business
man of our day watches for the
signs of the times and adapts
himself to coming events. We
predict that those who expect
anything like the oldtime bust
ness conditions of, say, ten years
ago will be disappointed. A new
era has arisen in the business
world. New conditions and
methods of business must be
adapted to meet it. Small pro-
fits and goods strictly adapted to
the trade, and skill in drawing
the attention Of the public, will
be the order Of the day. Those
who cannot adapt themselves
with assiduity to the new condi-
tons will drop out of the race
and seek other avocations.
One beneficial result will fol-
low from all this, to-wit: The
stream of people to the over
crowded cities will be compelled
10 return to the farm from
whence they came. The boom
of our big cities is burst, and
burst for good for long time.
Not until the farmers get their
farms cleared of mortgages will
there be any chance Of city boom
ing again. And before that hap:
pensaa radical changes will no
doubt be affected in our trans
portation system. Modern dis
coveries in steam and electricity
may develop new directions to
commerce and industry, and
leave'our present big emporiums
simply as by-ways and mere
remnant Oft byeone age. Not
until the farmers can buy goods
again On u large scale will there
be any opening of the factories.
and by that time the teeming
millions of Asiatics will probably
furnish us with our manufac-
tured goods. The upshot of the
whole is: that there is after all
only one reasonable safe avoca-
ton, and that is farming. It is
true that the f;lrmer has beer,
the football of every Speculation
and swindler in the land, who
for years have bled him at pleas
ure. But the game of the Amer
lean speculator is about over.
The farmer will soon have the
satisfaction OF seeing broken
bankers and business men com

chance for living alongside Of
