BUY FARM MACHINERY TocETH-
 ER-COOD BUSINESS.

People who have sold or will sell their cotton, and have paid their debts can do no better than to take a part of their surplus and buy now the farm implements which they will need next spring, as the prices are certain to continue to increase.
 Why not cooperate and buy farm tools together. One disc harrow is enough for two or three small farms and one roller is ample for two or three or more farms. Neighbors on adjoining farms who have level land could buy gang riding blow to- gether. Remember it is not only good business and cheaper to buy farm i'm plements together but 1t enables the individual farmer to use better i'm plements and the cost of repairs is reduced considerably.
 As soon as possible build that ma. chinkry shed. Grease the implements and put them away when you ar. through with them. If you desire ex- pert advice on farm machinery write to V. H. Kern, Extension Division, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Ark.

 She had an impulse to skirt the bay and view the Indian camp at closer range. a notion born of curiosity.
