SMALL FARMS Most PROFITABLE.-
Small farms always do return the largest
profit. There are Thousands OF farmers
all over the United States who would nake
more clean money to dispose Of one halt
their land andwolk the remainder thorough
y, then they now make by going over such
large breadth. Still large farms can be
cultivated with More net profit to the pros
prietor than small ones by proper manage
ment. Yet, according to the present sys
tenn Of management, small farms DO return
the most profit. The reason Of this Is that
farmer with a small number of acres is
more apt 10 I'LL better, manure more boun-
tI!ulIy, and perform every operation more
thoroughly than if he were required to
work double the number Of acres. If
farmer, for example, works twenty acres he
must necessarily keep a good team, and
as omp!ete an assortment of tools and farm
Implements az if he were cutivating fifty
acres. a good team will usually perform
all the labor on a farm of fifty acres, and
require very little more care and feed
than If they performed only the labor of u
twenty acre farm. Taking this view of the
subject, 1t will be perceived that it costs
comparatively more to carry on small
farm than a large one. But the chief argu.
ment il, that farmers are liable TO work
over great breadth Of land without doing
every part OF the cultivation thoroughly
The man with small farm will make more
manure III comparison 10 his neighbor who
culIyates twice as much lard as himself
For this reason the farmer who has the
greatest breadth of cuItiyatable acres will
not usually raise as bountiful crops as if
he titled only half the amount Of IauG A
thorough farmer may cultivate fifty acres
with as satisfactory profit acre for acre, as
he can Il twenty,if he manage it judicious-

THE COMET The Comet that is now
visible in the northern heavens, from elev-
en- O'Clock TIL daylight is one that has been
predicted for the last ten years, By the
best astronomers. They have foretold that III
months of July, August and September it
would reappear, and approach nearer to
the earth than ever before And that eth
er the earth or the Comet would have to
change its course or a collision would be
inevitable. 1t is said to be mass of fire
1000 times larger than the word, with a
tale of fire that would reach around the
earth 100 times. If these are facts
it is to be hoped that it will change its
mind and 90 around the other way. 1t
has appeared on time and il now steadily
and swiftly approached the earth. We
are unable to state how many qnadriions
of miles it is distant from the earth at
