a farmer makes only small profit. but

cause Of the employment secured by
him on the farm. For that reason
small farm or a small flock or herd will
always pay more than larger areas or

point from which all profits must be-
estimated. Expenses are reduced when
the yields are Increased because In
many Instances II requires but little
moro labor to secure a large yield than
a email one. Labor cannot alone make
q crop, Tho soil must be lifted to de-
rive the largest possible product by the
proper use OF plant food. which permits
the application OF labor 20 the best ad-
vantage. Small farms can be made to
largely Increase their yields more easily
and rapidly than large areas
The pron,n and receipts from farm

soils Is lasting and the beneficial effects
Of some fertilizers are more apparent

necessary labor. Profits on the farm
arc consequently much greater when
the averages for several years are
compared as each year must bear rs

secure profit this year may not be a

The best mode OF reducing expenses is
10 cultivate no more land than can be
