 SMALL FARxs Mosr PRoF1rABLE.-Moder> ately sized farms are most advantageous. for men of moderate circumstances, which is the base with three quarters Of the farming frater- nifty. Big farms are generally snperfcially cultivated. Poor culture is the dearest cul- turc in the world of agriculture, and no man who owns a farm, be it fifty or five hundred acres, can afford to be what is known as ,... economical cuitivator, labor-saving manure saving, seed-saviug farmer. You cannot use the blow, the harrow, or the fertilizer too ex- travagantly. You can keep at your land with the cnltivator till It is as frabe as ar all: heap and a corresponding yield of crops will be your reward. It is only the rich farmer who can afford to farm it in slovenly or nig- gardly mann-r. man who OWES four hun dred acre farm was heard to say, the other day, that nc cleared less per year than his neighbor, who cultivated only seventy five. .i given amount of labor will become more pro- fitable the more circumscribed the area of land down to certain limit. In certain cases corn crop of twenty-five bushels per acre is obtained or two hundred and fifty bushels from 'en acres in other cases the same yield is ob tained from four acres. The same labor is ap- piled to each and the same manure to eaeh.- The fiel d of four acres is in splendid condl- tion-the one of ten slovenly titled, full of grass, and eaten ID double.:' interest money of the former.
