the vital question OF trading at home.
During the past decade the habit Of
bSying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed al

is done TO forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions 25 years ago were
satisfactory. AT that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were 'monarchs Of

prosperous and happy Perhaps not
so much because they generally had

but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops. generally. and received good
prices for what they had 20 sell. They
sold their surplus stun 10 the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height OF

which to control trade in country To-

for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way Of
putting the merits OF their goods be-
fore the people. this plan appealed TO
them and it was adopted AT first they
operated on a small scale. then. as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making IL pay. he added TO his adver-
Using fund. And SO it has continued
until to-day millions OF dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people Of the United States.
The best and most effective way TO
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermOst in the minds OF
country merchants for several years
past. some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home In the
FIRST place his pride might be appealed

his farm Is TO be valuable IL must be
farmed ia the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences. etc. must be
kept % in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town. for we all know that farm land
brings a much better price wher near
TO some good town or village. IL is
not hard to get the farmer TO realize
this, for II he ever sold any farm land
or tried 70 sell any he knows this 10

realized this fact, the thing for him

Public schools are much better In
the towns than In the countrr for the
reason that where the population is
most dense, there is more taxable
property TO the amount OF territory
covered. hence there Is more money
collected for school purposes. and as
a result more and better teachers are
employed. All this is OF the highest
