This is the advice of an old man
who has titled the soil for forty years:
am an old man, upwards of three
score years, during two scores Of
which have been a tiller of the soil.
1 cannot say that am now, but I
have been rich and have all l need,
do not owe dollar, have given my
children a good education, and when
| am called away will leave them
enough to keep the wolf from the
door. My experience has taught me
| that:
l. One acre of land we'll prepared
and we'll cultivated, produced more
than two which received only the
same amount of labor used on one.
2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or
hog well fed, is more profitable than
two kept on the same amount neces-
sary to keep the one we'll.
B. One acre of clover or grass is
worth more than two of cotton where
no grass or clover is raised.
i 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, rs a rule,
for ten years, can keep the sheriff
away from the door IN the end.
). The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and
1 improvements, always has leaky
roof, poor stock, broken down fences,
and complains of bad s'sessens."
s. The farmer who is above his
