Future Farms Small Ones.

-
The eastern farmer %cultivating thor
oughly his ten acres of fertile soil won.
ders how it is that in the west Il man
can q expect TO make "a living of a
farm that contains less than several
hundred acres. A great many eastern
people have been deferred from enter
ing upon farming in the west because
they have been taught that one must
own a large farm, and have lots of ar
ricultural machinery TO make n success,
and their limited means would hardly
permit OF all this. \ prominent eastern
journal goes so far rs 10 say, The poor
nan or the man with Il moderate
amount Of money can not hope to Sc
cure n farm any where in the west
large enough to make it worth Whit to
spend the best part of his life in cult
yating it,
just at present The average eastern
farmer, including market gardeners.
dairyman, fruit-growers, aud all mixed
farmers, is probably better Oft on hi.
ter and twenty acres than his western
brothers on their hundred-acre farms,
and he is making a better living. Now
the conditions betM cen the two are
somewhat different, and one must study
hem carefully if he would get at n
proper understanding of the question
here p~ropUunded.
The eastern farmer is betier Off. be-
cause be has founl ont from experience
that ten acres are often quite enough
for n man TO farm, and that when a
farm OF this size IS properly run it pays
4 good living. His whole life is a
slealy Que, aud not q Speculative one.

makes % neat sum-, but il weather j
against him he probably loses all and
brings a mortgage upon the place. A
few successive bad seasons breaks him
up completely. There is the same
fererish excitement about this kind of
farming as there is about stock specula-
ton in Wall street. Il is the everlast-
ing fever to strike il rich" to make
lots of money in a short time.
This has been the great trouble with
western farming in the past, and the
west is just realizing that it needs farm
ers now, and not farming spectators.
There il nc such chance 10 make any
big prof; in the east, and the dairymen
Of New York and Pennsylvania. inc
fruit growers of New Jersey and the
Hudson river and the general market
gardeners Of Massachusetts, settle down
quietly to their small farms and make
them pay because it is a steady job and
a sure one if properly worked.
There are plenty of indications that
small farms are spreading through the
west, especially in the dairy districts.
Genuine farmers are now taking up the
land that the spectators failed with,
and they will do considerable in the
next dozen years TO raise mortgages.
Young farmers who understand their
business do not require large estates in
the west, rs they have been taught tc
believe. They will do much better TO
buy one-tenth the mount OF land, and
put the rest of the money in the bank
or improvements. In the end it viii
pay u better rate Of in..:rest.

The Latest Fad.

Nannette is just the dearest girl:
To her l vow my love and duty;
From slipper-tip TO shining curl
She's my ideal OF dainty beauty.
She's all "a hancee should be:
No words are fond enough TO praise her
But life has lost Its charm for me
Since Nan became "A crystal-gazer.
The passing fad OF each new day
Has caught and held her fckic fancy:
IL nearly tool my breath away
When she went In for chlromancy.
She studied p%sychical research.
And hypnofism didn't faze her;
But now she IL a crystal-gazer.
Some OF her fads i rather liked.
Her cult of Ibscn or of Browning,
Her swagger costume when she biked,
Her dress-reform and Delsartc gowninR
] liked II when she tried TO cook
Crabs a la Newburg In her blazer;
But life takes on a different look
Since Nan became q cr~ystni-gazer.
Her frigid gaze she concentrates
That crystal ball her constant focus:
She ardently invokes the Fates
And all her mystic hocus-pocus.
With muscles tense. and head erect,
Until the cleaning crystal sways her
I've known II To have that effect,
Though l am not a crystal-gnzer.l
OF course / / know fits bet a freak,
The very latest London notion:
She may forget II in a week,
. And find some other new devotion.
But with my heart too long she's played
wonder IL IL would amaze her
II l should WOO another maid
While Nan remains a crystal-gazer,
