THE FARMERS TIME.
Tne value of the farmers I'M de-
pends much upon the farmer. There
are some whose time is worth much
less than that of their hands, either
because of their poor management or
from a lack Of industry. Many are
such poor managers that the profits Of
the farm are much decreased because
their plans are carried out. lfa far
mer is really skilful in management,
he ought to be entitled to an extra val
uation upon his time. Almost any
body can be farmer. but not all can
be successful farmers. The success
full modern farmer is entitled to pre-
MUM on his time. and of course he
receives it.
