Many a farmer has been ruined by 4
large farm. who might have acquired a
competency with one Of half the sizc.-
Most farmers are anxious for large
possessions, and many are TINS betrayed
into the error of taking a greater
quantity Of ground than they have the
means ofhandling to advantage, IN the
deusive hope Of acquiring those means
by future savings; others from the vanity
of holding more land than their neigh
bors. Then arises deficiency OF stock,
imperfect tiliage and scanty crops, with
all the consequences. CT rent, taxes,
wages unpaid, and debts piling up, and
ruin finally caps the whole. While the
farmer who prudently commences with
only such a number Of acres as he has
the power of cultivating with proper
effect. is certain of obtaining the full re-
turn irom the soil, and not being bur-
dened with more land than he can pro-
itably employ, his engagements are
within his means, aud while enjoying
present ease of mind he lays the surest
foundation for future prosperity.
