DOES FARMING PAY?

Some are complaining that farming
does not pay. Allow me to ask, what &C.
cupation does pay sufficient to satisfy us
in this fast ages contend that it does
give the observing and attentive farmer
good living aud fair margin of profit.
am informed upon good authority of
wide awake farmer who bought farm in
our county but few years since and went
in debt for quite considerable of the pur-
chase money, and today he has his farm
clear and in much better state of fertility
,han when he purchased ii and during
all this time the farm kept him and his
family in all the good things produced by
Mother Earth. III my travels through
the different sections notice the farmer
who ungears FROM his implements when
done with for the season and let's them
remain out of doors until he wants to use
them again, is the one to complains most
about farming not paying. InJmy opin.
ion, there are many leaks for us, the
farmer, to look after, and am willing to
believe that many do not look around
until too late. You may say this is an
old question, and l answer by saying
am an old time farmer and am aware it is
an old question, but consider it a very
important one, and am persuaded
to believe if we as farmers would look
after the small things more closely we
would not complain so much ofhard times.
We cannot expect something for nothing,

If it wasn't contemplate it would be
amusing to hear the bank trust papers
roar against trusts and at the same time
rage like madmen against free coinage Of
silver, and try to squelch into silence all
discussion of the money question in the
Presidential campaign.
The bank paper money trust is the
greatest of all trusts aud free coinage Of
silver would be the most fatal blow that
could be delivered against that trust
They want to discuss everything else but
the money question. The people mus
be kept in ignorance on that subject il

In the campaign of 1900 the Repub-

been false to every principle to which at
one time he has given endorsement, who
has been constant only in his inconsist-

"plain duty" only Immediately to follow
the path of plain per6dy; whose public
utterances have been platitudes, and plat
