FARM PROFIT.

The profit is that left over after all ex-
penss are paid, which includes ret or in
terest on land and buildings. capital in
vested in stock, labor and TOOLS but the
opportunity offered the farmer of selling
his own labor in the form of some product
must be considered as one OF the advanta-
ges. Where a farmer makes only a small
profit, but has derived fair sum for the
labor he personally bestowed, his gain is
greater than the actual profit On the
farm the item of labor must be considered
according to its actual cost as an expendi-
ture. Though the labor of the farmer him
self, AID it really is profit because of the
employment secured by him on the farm.
For that reason Il small farm, or small

Closer application given and the economy

on the farm, therefore, is the heaviest OF all
expenses and ii is the principal stand
point from which all profits must be csti-
mated.
Expenses arc reduced when the Yields

And. behold. he left him a year.
Then, following the woman in hot
haste, he came up with her as she sat
upon stone By the wayside, weeping.
For why didst thou leave him? -
asked Time, gently.

answered, who came TO me threaten

him feasting and rejoicing. And round
about him were beautiful women, and
one there was more beautiful than all
the others who rested her head upon
his shoulder and upon whom he gazed
affectionately.
