SMALL FANS WILL CrLTWATTD. One OF
tho beet reasons for commencing farming on
a small scale. is found in the fact that far
msrs are often urged to work less land, and
cultivate what they DO work better. They
are repeatedly told tLat few acres well
titled would yield more clear profit tran
twice or three times the amount ordinarily
cultivated. The correctness Of thus kind Of
reasoning Is further shown by the pabliea-
ton OF accounts Of good crops and large
profits that have been realized by the skill
fol cultivation Of few acres in the best
manner. All Of which goes to sbow-whai
by experience and observation we have also
found TO be irue-:hat as large net proceed.
or clear profits may be made on little farm
OF from fifteen to twenty acres. as is usual
ly realized on from City to sixty acres.
