The middle men are taxing most of
the farmers fully as much on what
they buy aG on that which is sold
from the farm. Intending buyers
should study our market quotations,
continues the American Cnltivato tor.
The figures are for large orders, but
the farmer can get the goods fairly
close to these quotations if he has the
money in his pocket and goes to tie
right place. Too many farmers sell
at wholesale and buy at retail, instead

appears that this relatively now mar
