Now that the crop of 191 1 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
carefully; have you tried to arrive at the seat of the trouble? WHAT ABOUT YOUR STOCK? 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 ES U 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 you cati get it here 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 at our office for same.

NEIGHBORLY WITH NEIGHBOR
Found to Bo of Good Advantago to
Koap on Good Terms With
Thoaa Living Cloaa By,
(By J. BAILEY BRUCE.)
No good neighbor will allow his
fence corners to grow rank with
weeds that will not only Injure hla
own crops but those of his nelgbhor
well.
It Is not a good plan to sneer at a
neighbor who Is always ready to cry
something new In farming). Better
watch him and say nothing you will
he sorry for later when he has proved
its success.
I have found It to be of, good ad
vantage to keep on good terms with
my neighbor If for no other reason
than the selfish one of being able to
call on him to help-out In times of too
much work and short help.
The farmer who expects help from
his neighbor always must be willing
to lend a hand and a horse when
called upon, even if It Is not always
quite convenient.
What has become of the fanner
whose old-fashioned Ideas of hospital
ity which always prompted him to
send around to the neighbors a taste
of the first choice fruit or a basket
of spare ribs or a hit of a roast at
killing tlmeT
Better continue to lend our tools
to the Improvident one than quarrel
with him. His friendship may some
time prove of more value than the
temporary loss of a plow or a hoe.
Do not poke fun at the too enter
prising man who leaves the old homt
to find fortune In a new country—he
may come back to be our neighbor
again.
READING IS OF IMPORTANCE
No Man Can Successfully Conduct Hla
Farm Without Keeping Himself
Posted on Events
y
(By G. H. ALFORD.)
No man can conduct a farm of any
kind as a farmer should conduct a
farm, without reading. The lawyer
who does not read the decisions of
the various oourta cannot succeed at
his profession. The newspaper man
will certainly fall If he does not read'.
The merchant, the hanker, the do©-
tor, the teacher, the mechanic ’ must
all keep abreast of ths times or . else
they will soon, find, themselves with
out jobs or following some one in their
business who does read. The farmer
must read the reeults of the experi
ment stations on the preparation of
toll, the kind of seed to plant, the
oroper mode of cultivating the vari
ous crops, etc., If he expects to suo-
teed. The man who does not read
lften pays $10 per bushel for second
•ate seed, one dollar apiece for or-
Unary fruit trees and so on. The
veil posted farmsm seldom get
Bank only FIVE DOLLARS the first year of baby's life and
TEN DOLLARS his second birthday; FIFTHEEN DOLLARS the
third birthday, and so on, increasing your yearly deposit for him
only five dollars; when he is out of school, 21 years old, he will,
have nearly SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS, and can enter a
business of his own, or a profession.
Start to do this much and you will do MORE than this; and
both you and your boy will be better off.
