The Public Farm Sale

The public farm sale is always in
teresting and sometimes pathetic.
Often it is merely the disposal Of sur
plus stock. Again it is the closing
out Of all the farm chattels prior to
a move to some other state. 1t is
the invoicing of the farm property,
for by a sale the farmer learns his
financial status. It is pathetic when
some old couple left alone on the
farm in their old days finally have
to sell the horses, often like old
friends to them, and part with all
the homely but time-endeared tools
their hands had become accustomed
to thru years of service.
The morning of a public sale finds
all the neighborhood astir early and
doing the extra chores demanded by
absence from the farm for the day.
The curious crowd finds amusement
in looking over the stock and mach
inery and in rough jokes among the
younger men. The women gossip and
inspect the household chattels that
are set about the yard in more or less
confusion.
The public sale is clearing house
of ideas on farm topics. One can
hear opinions on all public questions
and frequently hears some keen
debate as to national policies.

If it is winter, the crowd comes early
intent on recreation. Many do not
come to buy, but merely to meet
neighbors and pass the time. Others
frankly are looking for bargains, and
there is sharp bidding for the more
desirable stock and machinery. When
the auctioneer arrives and the hour
for the SALE. there is loud call and
the crowd gathers to hear the sale
terms.
When these are given the sale be-
gins, the auctioneer selling the small
stuff Of little value very fast He
knows the time must be conserved
for the more valuable stuff to be sold
later. 1t is more pleasurable to be
an onlooker than the maker of a
sale. The farmer who parts with all
the paraphernalia of the farm must
sell some which he hates to part with.
But the particular question is
does the sale maker as a
rule get full value at a
public sale? Does he get enough

in repair. With the object lesson of
other poor farm sales in his mind
many a man makes similar mis-
take. 1t takes time to properly pre-
pare for a public sale-time and a
little money. The man who goes over
every article worth while and puts
it in repair gets mighty good pay for
his trouble.
Whether it pays to buy at a public
sale depends upon the individual.
Some men are poor buyers and bid
too much. Some are not good judges
and value property too high. Others
are excited by the bidding, and are
worked" to make bids against
judgment. Lastly, the auctioneer is
half the battle. The poor auctioneer
is dear if he works for nothing

A. Fife and Mr.. Jno. w. Russell, of the

that's its business. You stand
to see more odd sights, wonder
full scenery and strange people

You'll work hard while you

You'll get, in addition to "shore-
