in all lines of business, The Pa.
risian representative visited
many of the stores Monday morn
ing, asking each the question
What kind of business did you
have Saturday." Some of the
replies were as follows:
Nat Porter, 1 had a good
business and the railroad boys
who had accounts with me came
in and paid up-did not ask to
be carried over. 1t seems like
the extra work they are getting
stimulates their disposition to
buy.
John w. Phillips Co. had
a nice business on Saturday.
The Toggery-The best day
we ever had. Sold more goods
than on any other day since we
have been in business.
City Grocery Co. We had a
big business from both city and
country.
Johnson VanCleave Co. We
had a good day Saturday. Bust
ness has been good all the spring.
Conditions are better. Saturday
was about as good day for bust
ness as is usual in Paris.
Kinks Drug tore-Business
was extraordinarily good Satur-
day. Some time in the near fu-
ture a one-cent sale may again
appear. We want our friends to
be watching for the announce
ment.
J. L. Holland-We had the
best business we have had in
many days.
Cooper Drug Go. We had the
best business we have had since
Christmas eve. An excellent
general business and collections
were good.
Warren & Murray We had a
nice business Saturday. 1t was
a good day.
A. M. Leach & Son. We had
a good day Saturday. Buggies
are selling we'll and we have a
good business in Florence wag-
ons.
w. ]. Madole-I had a pretty
good business Saturday. How
ever. had the pay-car been elimi-
mated, do not believe Saturdays
sales would have been above the
ordinary.
New York Store, B. Himelhoch,
proprietor. We had a good bust
ness day Saturday.
Leach & Boales-We had an
especially good business ON Sat-
urday.
John P. Lannom-Had a good

J. J. Nelson-My cash sales
were one-third more than on the
previous Saturday. Yes, bust
ness is good.

number of farms and some city
property and sold a house and
lot. Business conditions are i'm
proving wonderfully.
The Variety Store, E. B. Nc
Gehee, proprietor. We had a

business is growing all the time.

cost of the tractor outfit. The
number of horses displaced does
not appear to vary to any great
extent with the size of the outfit.
about as many horses being laid
off after the purchase of a small
outfit as after buying a large
one. The number will vary
under different conditions, how
ever, the principal influencing
factors being the number of
acres farmed per horse and the
distribution of the work through
out the year. In the corn belt,
horses are seldom displaced on
farms where the average titled
acreage per horse is 30 or more.
On the farms in Illinois where
horses were displaced by the
tractor, one horse had been kept
for each 20 acres of titled land.
After the purchase of the tractor
one horse was kept for each 30
acres of titled land, or approx
imately the same as on farms on
which no horses were displaced.
There is much work on most
farms for which it is neither
practicable nor profitable to use
the tractor. This is especially
true in the corn-belt section,
where cultivating frequently re-
quires more power at one
time than any other farm opera
ton. Few, if any. tractors, &C.
cording to reports received, are
utilized for such work with en-
tire satisfaction, and it is, there
fore, necessary to retain a con-
siderable number of horses after
the tractor is bought.
"A study of the distribution
of horse labor on a typical corn
belt farm, indicates that the
peak load, that is, the greatest
amount of work, comes about the
end of May, which is the season
when corn cultivating is at its
height.
ION go Illinois farms where no
change in the average was made
after the purchase of the tractor,
an average of IL horses per farm
had previously been kept. Two
hundred and sixty-three horses
were displaced on these farms,
an average of not quite three
horses per farm. On 81, or
about one-third, of these FARMS.
no horses were laid off.
''The raising of colts is an in
dustry of considerable import
ance on farms in the corn belt,
and it would seem natural to ex-
pect that where tractors were
bought and the work stock thus
relieved of the heavy field work
the percentage of brood mares
kept would be increased, and
that the chances of raising. more
and healthier colts would be en-
HANGED. 1t was found, however,
that on a large group of farms
in Illinois the brood mares con-
stituted 80 per cent of the work
stock before the tractors were
bought, and while the work
stock was decreased to some ex-
tent after the purchase of the
tractor, the percentage of brood
mares increased only 3 per cent,
making the percentage now kept
amount to SO per cent.
