Farm Ownership.

1t does not require the compilation of
figures to show that there Is a change
gradually working itself through the
ownership Of farm lands. 1t is a fact
open to general observation that the
farms OF the country are gradually
dropping into the hands of tenants, and
In our opinion 1t Is that much worse
Tor the country. No one will dispute
that the farmer has many advantages in
working land owned by himself that
can never accrue TO him while the land
Is owned by another. One of the lead
ing causes to be assigned for this state
of things is the fact of a desire to over
reach ones self in the possession OF
lands. To make use of a significant
Western expression, 1t ome of biting
of more than n can "chaw." We
have long advocated as the best policy
for farmers to pursue in this matter
that OF cutting down their possessions
in lands, rather than that of extending
them. When the farmer makes up his
mind to this order OF things 1t will be
some time before the sheriff closes him
out. In the course of the next ten years
we look for a stronger pressure than
ever before brought to bear upon this
matter Of reducing the size Of the farm.
A new style Of farming is gradually to
come into vogue that will necessitate
it. The extensions of irr., alton systems
and the growth and expansion of the
subsoiling idea are destined to lead
in the direction Of intensive farming In
the West. We are aware that it used
to be fashionable to spread ones self
out over a large area in his farming
operations with n view Of reducing the
cost Of production Of crops. This day
has passed. Things have changed and
II the farmer of today expects to con-
tinue to own his own land he must give
more attention to each individual acre
and see that it does its share.-Nebras-
ka Farmer.

Hice's Surprise Party will inaueurate a
reign of merriment next Monday evening ut
