Advertise that “ Products will pay for Land and Improvements several times over within their credit of ten years, with nothing to pay for four years but six per cent annual interest.” 
Proceeds of crops are sometimes necessary anti always convenient for paying this interest and annual installments of principal after the fourth year as they accrue; hence it is wise to buy 
at such a time that all payments will fall due after harvest, on the heels of which the pork and beef crop follows. Delays of payment, asked for and granted, are generally “ till

arrangement for ten prospective annual payments. Autumn is also the best season to “ make a good ready ” for next season’s crop, inch as selecting hind, building a house, digging or
