a bright and brainy young man, with
a very promising future, and we be-
speak for him abundant success in

each order, yet our subscribers COM
plain that they do not get the 'Wo-

what the trouble is, but if, after
thorough investigation, we find that
the concern is fraudulent or has
gone out of business, we will cheer
fully protect our subscribers by re-
funding their money. True,it is only
fifteen cents, but we don't want any

To the man who has to buy seed
corn, we wish here to make just two
suggestions: The first is, that he
should not expect to get really good
seed corn for the price, or twice the
price, of feeding corn. Good seed
corn costs money to produce and
must be paid for. The second sug-
gestion is, that all seed corn be
bought on the ear. There is no other
way for the buyer to know what he
is getting. 1t is an invariable rule
that seed corn on the ear costs lit
tie more than that shelled off, and
this is simply because it requires
better grade of corn to pass muster
on the ear than when it is shelled.
Assurance of quality in the corn on
the ear more than makes up for the
difference in cost. Of course express
or freight charges will be little
higher on bushel of ear corn than
on a bushel of shelled corn, but this
is a small matter compared to the
difference between good seed corn
and poor. THE Progressloe Farmer.
