The same plan is suggested for use

purposes, a tighter chamber is required
than is needed for smoking meat. This
tightness can be secured by wrapping
cloth about the point of union of the

There should lie Farming as Wen as
Commercial Firms.

There should Be Farming as Wen as
Commercial Firms
The business OF farming. when we
stop TO think OF il, is seen 10 be carried
on almost exclusively by individuals.
To recognize this fact is sufficient to
induce more thinking-a good deal
more. Here is a condition novel and
peculiar. In all other important lines
CT business men combine together. But
the firm of Farmer & Co., is hardly ever
heard of. Why should there not be
farming firms as well as firms of manu-
facturers, brokers. lawyers or mer-
chants? Farmers are modest and take
back seats, although theirs is the oldest
and greatest industry, the most i'm
portant business of all. How much
they might do that now falls short of
accomplishment. if they would join
hands more and shun each other less.
A farmer owns large farm, but has
hardly any working capital. His next
neighbor has very little land, but plen-
~ of money. There is \ chance for
partnership by which both may profit.
\ farmer has a good farm aud knows
well by experience how to manage il,
but is unable to do the hard work. He
knows a man who has no practical
knowledge of farming, but he has
health and strength. is anxious 10 learn
and willing TO labor. These two men
should be able to come to an agreement
10 run the farm together. a farmer has
more land than he can take care of. His
boy, having reached his majority, is
about to leave-he doesn't know when
or for what. Why doesn't the father
take the boy into partnership and keep
him at home? a farmer is growing old
and cannot carry on his farm himself.
Hiring help is unsatisfactory. He will
sell or rent the old farm. and he and
his wife, With sorrowful hearts. will
fairly retreat into city. Better take as
partner on the farm an honest man
with youth and strength. Then he and
his wife might spend their declining
years where they could take comfort.
Aside from farming on shares, it is a
remarkable fact that scarcely anything
like partnership exists in general farm
ing. In land where many are always
unemployed, this ought not TO be, for
labor is great factor in farming. In
the farm firm, not only land, stock. ma
chinery and money, but honesty. youth.
health, strength and enthusiasm count
