What an Old Farmer Says.

This is the advice OF an old farmer who till
ed the soil for forty years:
I am an old man upwards OF three score
years, during two score Of which have been
a tiller of the soil. l cannot say that am
now, but have been rich and have all that
need, do not owe dollar, have given my
children q good education, and when am
called away will leave enough TO keep the
wolf from the door. Ny experience taught
me that; .u
One acre Of land we'll prepared and well
cultivated produced more than two which re-
ceiyed only the same amount used on one.
One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog well fed
is more profitable than two kept on the same
amount necessary to keep one well.
One acre OF clover or grass is worth TWO ol
cotton where no clover or grass is raised.
No farmer who buys oats, corn or Wheat
fodder and hay, as a rule, for ten years, can
keep the sheriff away from his door IN the
end.
The farmer who neve reads the papers
sneers at book farming and Improvements
always has leaky roof, poor STOCK, broken
down fence, and complains OF bad season.
The farmer who is above his business ano
entrusts 1t to another to manage, soon has nc
business to attend to.
