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.

RICHMOND TOBACOO.
(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.

Home Made Gas Light
From CiriLs!ied Stoie and Water
TOLUME for volume, this rural gas
y actually gives twelve times more
light than the best city gas.
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.
