money by farming is the great
question. There are two ways o!
getting rich. One is to spend less
than You earn; and the other il to
earn more than you spend. It may
be thought that this is q distinct
tion without Difference: but such
Is not the case. The farmer who
aims 10 save fifty cents out of every
dollar he gets is q very different
man from the farmer who aims TO
get $3.50 instead of 8l.OO. One
saves just as much money ~ the
other. But the latter has just

mer. And IL will make quite q
difference to q farmer and to his
family, and to the community in
which he lives, whether he spends
$500 or $1,000 a year; or still
more whether he spends $4,000 in
stead of $1,000. The distinction
