TolWannmof (Mr M:
Now that the crop of 191 I is made and almost gathered you, no doubt, are thinking
and planning for another year. What about your equipment? A farmer can no more
do good work without good tools than can a carpenter or mechanic and the most important
factor in the farmer’s equipment is his stock.
' Have you been successful in the past or do you feel that your efforts have not been as fruitful as they should have
been? You have worked hard from early morn till late at night; your very beft energies have been put into your work
and yet, at the close of each vear you find that you have accumulated nothing. Have you thought over the matter
fully; have you tried to arrive at the seat of the trouble? WHAT ABOUT YOUR STOCK?
carel
INPRR(v--w,.. , A good
horse or mule on a farm is worth a half dozen plugs. It costs no more to feed a good one than a plug and
the satisfaction you get from owning and working a real good animal is worth much. But what you are most interest
ed in is-R ESU LTS and to get the best results you must be equipped with good stock. Now that is
where we can help you. We are prepared, at all times, to fit you up with the very best horses and mules and at
prices that are absolutely right. If you want a saddle or buggy horse, a combination horse, brood mare, a farm,
lumber or turpentine mile yoi can get it hare and we will give you an honest trade. Be sure to see us when in the
market and we will make it to your interest.
Remember: We Sell or Swap for Cash or Credit.
We have a little gift for you. Call atour office for same.

May Pickner.
Money is a good servant but a bad
master.
To avoid criticism say nothing evil
about your neighbors.
It's investing when you win and
gambling when you lose.
The man who uses brains to save
his legs is not lasy—he is just wine.
The man who has the most friends
Is the one who asks the feweet favors.
Nothing annoys some people more
than being compelled to mind their
own business.
He is tbe real wise man who can
keep from getting the big head when
folks praise him for his good deeds.
Jealousy and envy are like weeds—
they grow, quickly and flourish on
many soils but produce nothing that
is not despised.
Many a farmer'who despises "little
things" has been tided over .bank-
rutpcy by the savings from their
wife’s chicken yards.
How many of us try to quiet our
conscience by laying * bouquet on the
coffin ef a neighbor whom We have
neglected all his Ufa.
If we were always as ready to fqr-
glve the faults of others as we are to
overlook our own, the world would
not be so awfully bad.
Borne people always are worrying
about the troubles which may coma,
forgetting that there are enough
troubles already here to keep us busy.
It Is a mistake to give a man 18
hours in which to do a day’s work.
He can accomplish just as much in
the long run If you make the days
reasonable.
As farms become smaller and our
methods more Intensive, It will, be
necessary for us to secure higher
prices for our meat. production and
animal foods. Sheep are economical
producers and can be handled profit
ably under Intense conditions of farm
ing.
