Kansas Farming Pays.

/
name of man in all the state who has
gence and industry, raised a diversity
of crops, along with some live stock,
avoided going into debt for andy specu-
lative purposes, and stuck to it, who is
not forehanded and comfortable. For
myself, have unbounded faith in the
real Kansas farmer; IvtGow him well,
and he gets along; he acquires COM
Portable home; he helps to build up the
| school, the church and the state, and
believes in them all; he rears his sons
and daughters in morality and sobriety,
sends them to high-grade schools and
they become worthy successors of a
sturdy ancestry further and living
demonstration that Kansas farming
does pay"
