In the factory and store.
The farmers now are rapidly dividing
themselves into corn-gr0wers, wheat
growers, stockholders, fruit-growers,
poultrymen, florists, etc.
The result is rapid improvement in

man must needs confine himself to
some few specialties and depend on
others for the remaining necessities

gives range for the use of more of the
