Advantages of small rarms.

Too much land is expensive If II is
not kept in good condition, as the taxes
thereon will be an expense which must
always be met. But few farms are
well supplied with manure. and the re-
suit is that the land is not adequately
furnished with plant food Nothing
is gained by spreading the manure
necessary for five acres over ten times
that area. for the smaller the yield
the greater the expense of growing
a crop in proportion to receipts. The
largest yields are on small farms, and
the profits are greater because less la
