356 Our Farming. 



what I practice. Many of you, at least, can gain some in this 

 direction. You haven't the money? Get a little some way to make 

 a start, and then keep up. It takes no more to pay down than a 

 year after; not as much, and if you are responsible you have got to 

 pay sometime, anyway. Sell a cow, go without a new carriage, to 

 get a start, and soon you will be able to buy the cow back, or get 

 the carriage, and still go right on making a nice little sum every 

 year. One of the great needs of our farmers is more working 

 capital. They are so often too hard up to take advantage of any 

 money-making plan like this. As long as they cannot take such 

 advantages, they must expect to remain somewhat short. Profit 

 comes from the best efforts in a businesslike way. Sell off a 

 piece of land, if you can if you have 100 or 200 acres, and get 

 capital to do something with. 



Do you say your dealers would not buy of you if you did not 

 of them? Oh, pshaw ! Have a number one article, and it will sell. 

 Must you buy of them because they do of you ? Would they pay 

 you one cent more for a thing than they could get it for else- 

 where ? Why should you ? They buy from you because it is an 

 object for them to do so in some way. Business is business.
