very inferior, and in consequence seed
corn and tobacco seed next spring will
be In great demand and at a premium.
In view OF this fact, farmers should be-
gin making arrangements for their seed
early, before they are called upon to pay
exorbitant prices. Overhaul your corn
and see if any Of it is available for seed
ing purposes; if not. make arrangements
with your neighbor. Do not put this
matter of, or you may have to pay ex-
orbitant prices later.

chewing sand can make a complaint
and seek remedy. 1t is consolation
to know that there is department OF
the government that purposes to protect
beast as we'll as men and prevent those
who would from imposing on the help
less.
