LARGE OR SMALL FARMS.
The Cause and Remedy OF the Present
Agricultural Depression.

agricultural Depression.
The present depressed condition Of
agriculture sets farmers and others in
terested a thinking, and consequently
there is no lack Of opinions and sugges-
tiuas as to the causes and remedies for
the existing troubles. The variety of
these, however, leave the mind IN us
great aquandary as before; for not only
is there variety, but considerable con.
iict OF opinion. One man thinks the
farms are too large, another AYERS they
are too small; but the most frequent
opinion, and true one in many ro-
spects, is that the yield of the crops is
too small for the land under cultivation
and the expenses, and that what is
mostly wanted is an intensive culture of
the soil in which tho greatest yield is
procured on the smallest area. II is
most difficult and at the same time
most Interesting subject for thought and
discussion.
1t is no new question which now agi-
tates the farmers over the whole civil
lied world. 1t has been coming nm. has
been discussed, and has been droppcd
at times during two thousand YEAR,
past. At the earliest period of n settled
organization, the elder Pliny made COM
plant that ..wide farming had ruined
Italy and the provinces" from which
we may easily gather that these farmer,
were distressed by their aboundinp and
pressing difficulties much as we arc now,
Later the poet Goldsmith dcplored the
accumulation of wealth and the decay
of men:
"Ill fares the land. To hastcning ills a nrov
Where wealth nccumulates aud men decay"
And we to-day arc told that the concen-
tration of wealth in comparatively a few
hands, and the poverty of the laborers,
are the cause of all our present dissatis-
faction, Bad as it all seems to be, and
hopeless Of any permanent remedy, we
can recall from our memory, or find
records in history, both ancient and
modern, abundant examples of similar
or worse state of things. In all these
periods of depressed agriculture there
has been loud complaint that tho large
farms were at the bottom of it. That
old philosopher and writer, William
Cobbctt, in his day, made this
charge in reference to the disas-
trous years, 1920 and 1921, when

THE MIKAD0'S FATE.
A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY.

1t was about the first of November that the
big turkey, the Mikado of the farmyald, was
given house all to himself and every body
waited upon him in thelmost untiring man.
her. At first he was somewhat astonished at
so marked change in his fortunes. Such
extraordinary consideration as he now re-
ceived at everybody's hands amazed him for
time, but he soon settled it in his mind en-
tirely to his satisfaction.
"Ho! ho!" he said. "Ha! ha! They have
just learned my worth. Ihave always known
that was great genius, with brain as big
as wash tub, and think the other turkeys,
poor insignificant things, and the chickens,
sorry creatures, knew it also. At least, they
have all shown wholesome respect for my
power but must admit that | have been
slow to impress the people with my import
ance 1t has come at last, however. See
how they truckle to me. kow-tow to me, sup
ply my every want almost before it is felt,
and make menials of themselves to cater
to my pleasure"
This he said to himself as he walked by
himself The other citizens of the farmyard
looked at him with glowering faces and the
bitterness of envy in their hearts He
had always tyrannized over them, and they
hated him with a hatred all the more
deadly because it was concealed under the
mask of respect. Now, though he had never
done humane or generous thing in his life,
they beheld him housed and Toasted like a
king, with the sauce of admiration served up
to him every hour. They couldn't under
stand it; they saw no justice in it, and they
murmured against it,

THE TALK ONEh HIS HEAD AND boNLS'
The hen who was in favor of equal suffrage
said that after all there were compensations
in life. She still held her old views; but she
had learned a lesson in patience. Her dream
of political equality would be realized; but
she must wait, and while she waited work as
well as talk. A very aged old bird of no par
ticular lineage cleared his throat just then.
As he was generally SILENT he commanded
great attention when he did speak, He said
"You are getting on to the true philosophy of
life at last Agitation doesn't accomplish

the boy was lying, to let May lay down her
little green wreath, and was glad that she
could do it calmly. Somehow felt as if

we went quietly home.

1t might be dangerous to stake ones repu-
tation upon the assertion that Thanksgiving
is strictly religious feast. 1t is a day of
practical rejoicing in the good things of this
world, and there may even be people whose
mouths are fuller of turkey than their hearts
of thanks. But every year the area of the
feast enlarges. Every year there are more
people who sit down to "groaning boards" as
the reporters happily express it, upon occa-
sions of civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving Long and long may
his hospitable board be spread Long and
long may he stand, benignant, at his door,
calling in the poor and the weary, the blind
and the lame, even as the old Puritans called in
Massasoit and ninety other savages Rich in
blessings and reverend in years. may good
old Thanksgiving last with the continent,
knitting closer the ties of family and friend
ship; it's cheerfulness beaming like the smile
of patriarch; its charity burning like cen
trail fire, warming all the year and lighting
up every dark day of care and sorrow.
