There i3 probably no part of their bus*

have sufTercd more severely than in their
failure to pay the cash down at the tini •
purchases are made. The credit system is
so fastened upon us and lias become such
a large and important part of our whola
business system that many farmers feel
that they must continue to buy on credit
a large part of the year; but this birring
on credit will have to be stopped before
We shall ever buy to the best advantage.

There are several ways by which these
useless charges connected with buying on

The most promising method for goner-
illy avoiding the buying of supplies on
credit is, probably, n diversification of
crops, which will not onl lessen the
amounts needed to pity for necessary
purchases, and distribute them through
out the year because of the better dis
tribution of labor, but will also afford
products for marketing at nil seasons.
The making of purchases on credit Is
much easier avoided when farm products
are available fir marketing at all times
than when only one crop, like cotton, Is

three months of tho year.—Progressive

This Illustrates tli,, advantage In

saving is not the only advantage of
the larger plows requiring not only
two, but even three or four horses to
pull them. It is practically impossible
to do good plowing with tho one-horse
