We say again, what We have often said be
fore in this paper, that 1t always pays the
| most TO raise the Very best breeds of all kinds
of stock. Kansas is enincntly an a.ricultu
raj and stock raising State, and We believe Il
| our farmers would tui 4 their attention more
to the the raising of good stock, that such 9
course would more speedily::bring to theil
homes prosperity and plenty than anything
they could undertake.

IL h the Ability of sl,e Farmer that

Agricul; ufal writers are inclined to recon-
mend small farms. As well advocate doing
business of any kind on small scale. Better
have a small farm paid for and well man.
aged than to owe for n large one without the
means To work IL well. But Ii a farmer is
able To own a large'farm, and has the ability
| To manage 1t, no one need to waste any sym.
pathy on him. Large farms are often poorly
f.rmed, 81 are small ones. The difficulty Is
n IL so muci, with the size Of the farm as with
the capacity OF the farmer. Good farming
can be done just as well and more economi.
c ally on Large farm than on a small one.
Teams implements and farm hands, can be
used to better advantage on the large farms
for the farmer can afford to have q variety
suited To his needs. II is foolish to seek to
get large farm just for the sake of room, but
If the large area is fully utilized, then we see
