THE SIZE OF THE FARM.
A Small Farm, Free From Debt, Bets
ter than q Large One Loaded
With . Mortgage.

Many farmers, who would otherwise
have homes of their own, continue to
rent and move and rent again and
move again, because they can not buy
as much land as they want at pre-
vailing prices. There is distinct adj
vantage in owning large farm. just
as there is in owning large
bank deposit or a large amotfnt
of valuable property of any kind. But,
because we can't have what we want,
shall we refuse to have what we can?
People in the southwest have been
brought up under a cheap land and
large farm system, and have been ac-
customed to spreading their crops
thinly over as many acres as possible,
and calling it farming, and now that
land is so dear they can not practice
that system, they know not how to
shape their course. Recently Collin
county farmer'wanted to know where
he could go to find good land cheap,
as he could not afford to buy as much
as he needed at Collin county prices;
and with rueful countenance, add
ed: II have only 100 acres, and you
know a man can't accumulate any
thing farming on that amount of
land" There is no better farming
land than this mans 100 acres. Not
an acre on it that will not produce.
with good cultivation, 500 pounds OF
cotton, IS bushels of corn, 25 BUSH
els of wheat, so bushels of oats, and
all needed food and forage crops,
fruits and vegetables, in similar
abundance. The question of large
| or small farm, at least, resolves itself
| into an alternatives small farm or
none, and the farmer takes his choice.
| A farmer who has not the ability to
get more than four or five dollars
per acre from a fertile soil, should
have a large farm or go out of the
business; but for one who can farm
land to something near its capacity,
a small farm may be better that
large one; or, he may accumulate
enough in few years to add to his
holding all the land he can handle
A large farm affords more room for
expansion, for growing crops and live
stock on a large scale, and for max
ing larger profits with less physical
labor, and is adapted to the views and
ability of many farmers. But there
is higher consideration connected
with the possession of farm home
}, A man with a family of children
. should avoid, above all things, bring
J ing them up to life of yagabondage
and the best security against such {
, contingency is a home-a real home
! however small or humble. A small
home with independence is bette

EDUCATION ON THE FARM.
The Most Successful Farmer IL the
One who Has the Best
Education.

The general opinion that education
Is not needed on the farm is great
mistake. Nowhere is it more needed
and nowhere does it pay better. OF
course this is said in speaking OF such
education as our sons get in the usual
way. General classical and literary
instruction is the kind referred to. In
other words, there is prevailing
opinion that regular graduate from.
our colleges and universities makes
a mistake if he selects farming as his
calling or avocation.
We do not agree with those who
advocate this idea. On the contrary,
our experience and observation con-
vince us that there is no better avoca-
ton for an educated man than farm
ing. And we say without fear OF
successful contradiction. that no cali
ing needs the educated more than
agriculture.
The want is mutual and tie .adapta-
ton also. An educated man can Ind
use for all his education on the farm
And the farm needs all his knowledge
and brain power. The study of soils
and soil adaptation of plants and
plant possibilities will give ample play
to all his powers. Nature keeps heI
richest storehouse on the farm, and
science finds her highest possibilitie:
in solving the beginnings and devel
opment OF. plant and animal life
Many of Gods most wonderful and
beautiful laws are found in fun pla,
here. To learn how to conform ou1
practice to these laws requires skill
and knowledge, and gives the high

and searches for truth will find her

DOES ADVERTISING PAY2

IAN advertisement in the paper adds

pt otherwise possess. A stranger.
EHeking up the paper, Immediately
looks through the advertising columns.
His inevitable conclusion is that the
firms doing the most advertising arc
the ones tranSacting the bulk of thr
business.
Many people imagine that advertfs-
Ng does not pay because their custom
Srs do not always say Il saw your al
n the paper" We will admit that
pine kind of advertising does not pay
! proportion to the amount expended
# you plant an unattractive advertise
ment in paper with no circulation
and never change it, it does not pay
But If you have something to sell, and
will write out an attractive advertise
ment, have it properly displayed and
inserted in a paper circulating among
1le class of people you want to reach.
you Will find that adver. Sing pays.
4 II you wish 10 reach mechanics anu
Sa,sOring men, don't advertise in a
fashion sheet. Then if you are after
he fashionable set, don't Use a sport
ing paper, or if you wish to sell sport
ing goods, a religious paper will be q
poor advertising medium. You must
study the wants of your customers, and
best how to reach ,uem.
An ad in a daily paper with not tCy
exceed circulation of 500 will not be
ls valuable as one in a weekly with
1000 circulation. And an advertise
fment in a semi-weekly with a eircula-
{ ton of not over SIX or seven hundred
will not do as much good as one in :.
et@eekly of 1000 circulation.
Again, an Old-estabiished family
newspaper has a prestige not enjoyed
ISby one just started. 1t reaches more
people, and is therefore a better ad-
veTtisi9g medium. Men who make a
| buSlTc2& Of advertising always prefer
the OlA-o"taElished paper, and do NOT

2 Rrominent Business Men Talk About
Capital City Needs.

The people of Tallahassee are begin
ning to discuss public improvements.
This is very hopeful sign, and it may
be that an era of progress and pros
perity will soon dawn on the capital
city.
Mr.. T. B. Byrd, one of our leading
merchants, in a recent conversation
with the TallahasSeean, remarked that
the great need of Leon county is good
roads. I'VE want first class highways
reaching out from Tallahassee in every
direction, and extending to the county
line," he said.
. This would do more towards de-
YelOping the resources of the county
and building up the city than any one
thing | know of. 1t would not only en-
able the farmers to market their pro-
duce at all seasons of the year, at a
great saving in the wear and tear to
horses, harness and vehicles, but would
cause OCher people to locate here. With
such highways constructed it would be
but few years until we would have a
perfect network of good roads, reach
ing every nook and corner in the cOun-
ty.
This would enhance the value of
farm lands one hundred per cent, to
say nothing of the added convenience
and comfort to those who travel. More
buggies and wagons would be sold.
better horses would be brought here,
and everybody would be benefited"

highways, and any other improve

only way we can secure anything of
the kind is by boonding the town and
county.
mo place ever amounted to any
thing that was afraid to venture. True,
the taxes will be increased slightly.
The increase will be nothing, however,
| to the benefits that will accrue. We
can issue bonds for public improve
ment, payable in twenty-five or thirty
years, and in that time the property
will be more than trebled in value.
Tallahassee also needs more fac
