How to Make Farming Pay.

II may bs that my Alliance auditor,
after reading the above heading, will as
sumo an easy position and receptive
attitude in expectation, or hoping, at
least, that he is about to learn how to
double his crops without q proportion

assuming an entirely different attitude
and be praying to be spared a series Of
plRtitudes on economy.
Well, els neither to be buoyed up by

These lines are not for him alone but for
the farmer generally. Therefore, moth.

A good degree Of Christian forbear-

So, when We find an occupation, hRv-
ing the important relations to human
interests that agriculture sustains and
with present facilities for producing 10
still not paying, We may conclude at
once there ia something for the farmer
to consider Of vastly more Importance
to himself even than 10 q knowledge Of
how he may double products, the pres
ent supply Of which 10 SO generally
without remunsrstive markets, or even
q knowledge OF how he may still further
scrimp himself In the practice Of econ
OmY on the farm.
Every farmer may find something TO
criticize regarding his mistakes Rnd
shortcomings in managing his farm.
Such would be the case were we much
nearer perfect than we really are. But
every farmer ought to know that while
he may not have always done the very
best that might have been done, it is,
nevertheless, not TO his shortcomings in
connection with farm management that
the usually depressed condition Of Rgri-
culture can be attributed.
There should be no occasion tn inquire
how TO make farming pay where every
thing connected with the farm is favor
able to success. AS quality Of soil,
proximity to market, vigorous physical
manhood, wife and children endowed
with capacity for endless work, means
to bridge partial or total failure and
with all, q disposition to ignore the
claims on one for public good and to be
satisfied az Q small consumer, that iE,
with moderate compensation.
The question should rather be
how TO overcome local adverse
conditions, where they exist, and make
farming pay, and how those more
fsyorably cirCumstsnced may secure all
to which they are entitled, namely, as
great q ministrRtion to their desires,
thst is, to az extensive remuneration as
are the favored Of any other vocation
whatever. Were it simply q question
Of greater production, our agricultural
colleges, papers, and experimental sta.
tions would have solved it long ere this,
and We had been spare d the humiliation
Of seeing agricultural interests continu-
ally tending TO worse conditions. We
may rest assured that the problem as to
how more may be produced will ever be
solved as fast as facilities are devised
for the profitable con sumption Of the re-
suits and present facilities for produc-
ing.
Consumption fingers but little behind
production before prod uotion loiters un-
Ill again overtsken. It does not follow,
however, that there is any necessity for
suspension Of labor; for, though the
capacity for consuming any one line of
products is limited, the possible lines Of
products are hmitless; besides, consum-
ing to the limit Of capacity in one line
restricts not in the least the capacity for
consuming in the other lines of prcduc.
tion. TO illustrate: In meeting ones
requirements for food his requirements
for rsimsnt are nos met, but call for o
continuation Of effort. When these
needs are supplied, there Is still de-
mRnd for shelter. When satisfaction is
met in these lines, or before, other de-
sires spring into being II the normal
