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. The man who buys for each Is entitled to mul receives exemption from thog* charges which are legitimately a part of the silling price of giods sold on time. Those are extra cost for bookkeeping and collecting; the amounts necessary to re. imburse the merchants on the accounts of those who never pay; and the Interest on th«« amount of the purchases for tlia thne for which credit Is extended. Those are fixed charges on the credit system, and so long as va» permit ^Jwso extra catch one or two years some are a hi up" financially as to enable them to afterward pay c ish for the things pur. chased. This ig a heroic method, but If none other l* possible, the suffering and Inconvenience which it brings are prob ably justified by the advantages resulting from buying only for cash, others have found It economical to borrow and pay Interest charges on borrowed money t»* pay cash for the things which must bo purchased, finding that th** latere? t charges on the borrowed money are leas than those against purchases made on edit. charges to -e added to our purchase can never buy to the best advantage. There are several ways by which these useless charges connected with buying on credit arc avoided.

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 sold, and that only during the last two or three months of tho year.—Progressive BETTER PLOWS NEEDED I THE FARM PHILOSOPHER ON THE SOUTHERN FARMS AND HIS WISE COUNSEL "Wliouther" may Justly l>o termed a 1 ad spell of weather.
