trying to be so careful lest they do
none of their readers an injustice We
have declined number of such adver
tisements, because thev are little better
than a swindle, if any. Valuable min
ing stocks are never for sale below par
even at private sale or at all. Our ad-
vice TO farmers is never to buy mining
or oil stock until you have money to
burn, and then burn 1t IN preference.
for you will not then spend any more
time looking for returns from it, Most
of these mining stocks advertised for
sale do not even represent wster, just
pure nothing. Let il alone. The best
stock for the farmer to buy is live stock
and contiDe il to your own farm. This
is the advice OF man who has dsbbled
in mining and oil stocks.-Rochester
