And she said in regard to heaven, we'd

Concentrated Farming.

The advice to cultivate less and
more thoroughly, manure more and
improve the quality OF crops, has
been SO often given in these columns.
that ne fear the reader will begin to
think we have no other string to our
bow. However. this being the time
when the farmer begins, as it were,
another years operations for bread
we cannot refrain from advertising
to these topics again.
Every indication and condition OF
the period points to the necessity of
concentrating the energies and
means of the average farmer on
smaller area of land, and giving to
that the most thorough culture and
all the manure possible. The pro-
fit of farming-if q profit 10 to be had
must come from crops Of q larger
yield and improved quality. There
is but one obvious way to secure this
that acre must not be stated 10
work or manure both, an abundance
of each, are essential. Most farmers
labor enough to bring them hand
some completeness, if their labor
was properly directed and conceu-
trated. They waste their energies
on too large surface. Our thin and
exhausted lands must be treated so
well, that large surface cannot be
gone over as needful to large re-
turns.-[Selected.
