Now that the smoke has cleared away and the great political bat- 

 tle of 1896 has been decided, let us all prepare for the improvement in 

 values that is bound to come with our mills and industries starting and 

 a renewal of confidence in the business world. The successful farmer 

 and gardener will see to it that his seeds are TJp-to-I>ate Varie- 

 ties, that he may command the top price of that improved market. 



There is just the difference between Success and Failure in 

 the man who plants our Clack Boulder Watermelons and sells 

 them at J;30.ck) to $40.00 per 100, and the man who sticks to the old 

 Mountain Sprout and saves his own seed and sells them at ^10 00 to 

 $12 00 per 100, and wonders why there is no money in farming any 

 more.
