Large farms usually mean large tax-bills,
poor crops, poor horses and stock, broken
down farmers, sparsely settled districts, old
and dilapidated farm buildings, poor fences,
and things have kind of rundown and
worn-out aspect all around. Small farms
mean well-tilled land, good crops, neat farm
buildings, healthy and intelligent farmers,
good roads, pleasant and thickly settled
neighborhoods, plenty of good schools, good
fences and well fed stock, and signs Of
prosperity everywhere.
