The man who has to bear the bi an:
of crop failures in the final aralysi
is the merchant. He must take care of
the fanner in order that he may live.
It means a tremendous sacnt.ce or.

I dairying with its attendant crtarr.
• hecks means the end of this precar
ious method of doing busines by tlx
merchant. The cream checks may no'
be large in themselves. hat they come
often and families who milk cow.: a'
ways pay cash for the ordinary aaces
ities of life.
Porter and Glenn, of
Oahlgren, Illinois, wrote last January

"The pest three years we have what
yoa might call practical crop fa lures,
due to lack of rain, and are are fra-k
to say that hail it not been f..r the

"About seven years ago a aaove

which formerly had no income of thi
