1t is a g ,ot thing to 8. IL things when

people who will sell almost everything
off the farm if they are offered o good
price; and is thus victim to Spectators.

heavily. II the fall they generally sell
corn, peas, hogs, cows, and fodder when
it is cheap, and the next summer buy
the same kind of products back at al
most dnub'e tho price they sold at They
are wiling dupes this way, but do NOS

to have cash money to spend right now,
and the ease with which some things
can be got on credit, often works To the
