:1 A Problem Solved VvM ' '.iihiif.' f mi-' BUYING AND SELLING. V WWW 1 1 ' . With Our : Advertisers. Reliability Guaranteed. The time will come when it will not be neces sary to occasionally remind our sub scribers that the advertisers In The Progressive Farmer are guaranteed by us to be honest men, making or selling good, honest goods, useful to Southern farmers. There would be no occasion to do so now if it were not the rule in many newspaper of fices to accept the advertising of al most anybody who will put up. the cash, not taking the pains to inquire into either the merits of the article, m. ttiA ry fa ntof nt th man rlnin&r the advertising. We believe that the advertising of a commodity carries with it the sanction and approval of the newspaper. Therefore, as pub lishers of a Southern farm paper, every line of which from first column to last, is meant to be helpful to Southern farmers, The Progressive Fanner does not carry advertise ments of whiskey, patent medicines, mining stock investments, patent stock foods," etc., not principally through fear that any such adver tiser would receive money and give no goods In return, but because these articles are positively harmful, or sold at exorbitant prices, and in our columns wq are constantly warn ing our readers against dealing in any of them. So you take no risk of not getting a square deal when you patronize our advertisers. There's Money in Butter. They tell us that butter is going to sell for fifty cents a pound before Christmas. Whether it will bring a fancy price liko this or not we do not knowbut people who keep up with the market conditions say that it will. One thing is certain, how ever, and that is more of our readers ought to make butter for the mar ket. We are sending entirely too much money away from home f 01 dairy products that could easily and profitably be manufactured here. We ought to have more cows of the im proved types. This is one reason why The Progressive Farmer is preparing to enlarge itsj live stock department and give in the "Breed ers Directory" a full list of all the reliable breeders who are near enough to ship improved stock to our readers. Upon going into the manufacture of butter for the mar ket, cream separators beco e a nec essity, also. We recommend those advertised in The Progressive Farm erthe Sharpies the DeLaval and . rrntta stfttfts. All of them are large, reliable concerns and will be glad to furnish any information wanted free of charge. The Markets. Raleigh. N. O..

(Reported by E. K. Vietor & Co.. Leaf Tobacco. Strips. Stems aod Scraps.) Richmond, Va., Oct. 2, 1909. Prices of new primings, owing to their poor quality, have been mod erate. Whenever a . good p.ile shows up it brings frorri.35 to. 5 cents. A few piles of new tobacco were offer ed which were well cured, and of good quality. Also a pile of Burley primings was sold and bought by an independent dealer for 8 cents. At a meeting of the trade, it was concluded to issue a circular to the planters of Burley tobacco, giving them instructions of how to cure pnd grade these tobaccos. ; The weather continues to be ideal for the cutting and curing of the new tobacco and we look forward to a well cured crop of tobacco this winter.

Like city gas, it is used in handsome brass or bronze j chandeliers and fix tures of endless variety. A simple twist of the wrist turns on a brilliant flood of light in any room in the house, day! or night. It has already I driven the oil lamp with its grease, smoke, soot and smell, out of 176,000 town and suburban , homes. I ij Takes some member of every one of these 176,000 homes, fifteen minutes once a month, to make all the gas the household can use. 1 ! ! The magic is all in the wonderful gas-producing stone. I This stone is manufactured in huge electric furnaces, j in a temperature of over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. When ready to use, it looks and feels like crushed granite and is then known as Union Carbide; 1 1 Union Carbide is packed at the fac tory and distributed through ware houses all over the country in sheet steel cans in which it may be kept for .years. : : ; In these packages it is safer to handle and store tnan common coal, as it will not burn and can't explode. ? II The gas which this wonderful stone yields is' genuine j Acetylene. And Acetylene,! carried! in iron pipes to ornamental fixture, bums with a soft, brilliant, pure white light. On account of I its color, it is the . easiest of all lights on the eyes, and is a boon to those afflicted with eye strain iruuuioa. It is not poison ous and one might sleep all night in! a room with an open burner without harm.' I i For these reasons it is used extensively it. j . 1 0 as an mummant in nospitais, lac tones, mines, light-houses: and gov ernment army posts. j To produce Acetylene, it is only ST I Just address necessary to mix Union Carbide with, plain water in a small tank-like machine that is usually set in one cor ner of the basement. Tne formula is simple, and the work can be handled by most any school boy. Once a month he must fill the little machine with Union Carbide the machine does the rest it makes gas only when the lights are burning and stops making gas when they are turned off. ' Anybody that can cut and fit pipes can install the generator, pipes and fixtures in two days without injuring walls or floors. . With such an installation you can make this glorious beautifying light in your own home for less money than same amount ' of light from kerosene would cost. If you happen to live in the country, you can do as thousands of farmers have done run the gas pipes to lights, placed on your porches, in your horse and cow barn, or even in your barn yard and have all of them fixed up to light with a touch of an ignition button on post or walls. Such a lighting scheme is not only a boon to tne housewife and children, but it's a mighty handy convenience for the man of the house when he must do his chores after dark, or when he is called out in the night to attend a sick animal. All these lights will be permanently fastened to ceilings, walls or posts, and enclosed in tight globes. For this reason they are many times safer than lamps or lanterns that are so often tipped over with disastrous re sults. Write u s today how large your place and where it is located. Then we can mail our book lets and tell you how little it will cost to make this light yourself. UNI . ARIDE SALES CO., Dept. B-19 Vdams St .
