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. J. D.

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. Bank Your Money With Us. We pay 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly in our Savings Department.
