why II Does Not Pay as Well as SO-Called
General Purpose Agriculture.
In some places farmers run to corn;
in others, brOOm-corn; and again in
others, to flax. etc. but, If you have
observed closely, you will not fail to
notice that whore one made a success
of this speciality farming, there were
ten who failed. a farmer, to be one
in every sense of the word, should be
able to plant a reasonable acreage of
the various crops. as they can be plant
ell in their season without interfering
with the cultivation or the planting of
other crops His time should be so
divided with his various paintings that
no overtaxing of his working abilities
will occur at any one season OF the
wear, and idleness result at anothes.

labors are so various, his duties sc

is rest; and he is his own judge the
