The True PoINT.-It is a matter of little
consequence as to the acreage which is put
in, in this or that grain, in this or that crop !;
it matters very little how much a farmer
raises on his farm-the important question
is how much he raises per acre. The farmer
who raises one hundred bushels of wheat
on four acres will become well-to-do, indie
pendent farmer, if not rich man, if he does
not meet with extraordinary misfortune
but the farmer who raises one hundred bush,
els of wheat on twelve acres is on the direct
road to poverty, and undoubtedly will be-
come poor if he lives long enough and raises
wheat enough, The same holds good with
grass and other crops. The farmer who
raises two and half tons of hay on one acre
will do well, especially if he feeds it on his
farm while he who raises five tons on six
to eight acres will have to fight poverty in
his old days. Amongst hundreds of farmers
there will be hardly one who disagrees with
the above theory, but how many do we find
who do their best to carry it into practice
