Tuesday, January 16, at E. G. Cash Farm
One and one-half miles north and four miles west oi Hennessey
E. 0. Torrey, one of the greatest Holstein men in the state ot Kansas, will bring 30 head of choice big trame cows, 3
to 6 years old, all tried cows. Some will be fresh sale day and others will be fresh soon. This is an opportunity tot
those who desire a good milch cow. These are bred milkers. You cannot afford to milk a scrub, when you can buy one oi
these animals for a few dollars more. These cows will be at the E. G. Cash farm for 3 or 4 days before the day ot sale. Mr.
Cash has been so well pleased with the result of his purchase last fall of 4 head from this herd, that he has induced Mr.
Torrey to hold this Holstein sale here for the benefit of other farmers and dairymen of this vicinity.
These cows will be sold on good, reasonable terms.

The Losing Side of Mail Order Trad-
ing—How An Iowa Farmer
Lost Over $5,600.
He saved money on one end, he
thought, but he lost it on the other
but here is the story and how it hap
pened, as related in the Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin:
Hans (iarbus, a Merman farmer, of
Iowa, has discovered that the benefits
which appear on the surface as attach
ing to the mail order plan sometimes
are not as real as they seem and some
times spell disaster and has written a
very interesaing story of his views
in a certain farm paper. Here is a
part of his story:

our home merchants on credit, until
fall crops were sold. The first year
was a wet season and I did not male

'o each on date of promise and ex.
olained conditions, paving as much as

and gradually I began sending my

the merchants made no complaint.
''We then had one of the thriftiest
\Hlages in the state—good line of
business in all the brancehs and mer-
chants who were willing to help a
man over a bad year, and a town full
of people who came twice a week to
trade^aud visit. Our little country
town supported a library, high school,
ball team and we had big celebrations
every year.
"A farm near a live town soon
doubles in value. I sold my forty
acres at a big advance and bought an

had 200 n«*res of the best land in the

we got in the habit of sending away
for stuff and gc'ng to a city not far

more than at home.

our village reduced their stocks. Lack
of patronage forced them to do s -.

we needed a bolt quickly for innchin

!'ax<s went up. The loss of the big
sto k of goods that helped pay the
taxes brought an increase on the farm
lands of the \icinitv. The value of
residence property went down, but the
taxes went up. The school term was

of rht teachning staff dropped; the li

"Nine years ago my farm was
