scene. With great drops rolling down
his tawny cheeks, the smith kissed the
children one after another, and in a
choking voice babe the mother an eter-

LARGE AND SMALL FARMs-On
this moOted question a correspondent
of the Country Gentleman writes.
That most farmers employ too little
capital in proportion to their acreage,
is on incontrovertible fact; and it is
no less true that the expenditure of
muscular force is out Of all proportion
to that of the mental forces. One man
tolls necessarily from the beginning to
the end of the year, and yet his busi-
ness is never up to time; another, with
little appaI ent effort, is prompt in eve
n thing, and everything he touches
prospers. For the one Eve acres is
too much land; for the other a thousand

are cases of the kind where the five,

most farmers is not sufficient for sue

their business as hired laborers, anC
having in that way worked out smal
