David Rankin has the credit of being
the most extensive individual farmer
In the United States. He owns four
teen farms in Missouri which contain
about 22,0OO acres of land in all. He
personally superyiscs the operations ON

summer he employs as many as 700
hands in the field and uses from poe to
$50 horses for the various divisions of
farm work He raises corn by thou
sand acre patches and In "A single year
has sold 5000 hogs and 1900 cattle of

In the vicinity Of his farm property.
He writes to Leslic's Weekly:

1t remains true NOW, rs II always has

districts are those in which we are
surest to find the old American spirit,
the old American habits Of thought
and ways of living. Conditions have
changed in the country far less than
they have changed In the cities, and
In consequence there has been little
breaking away from the methods of
life which hive produced the great ma
Jority of the leaders of the republic In
the past. Almost nil of our great pres
idcnts have been brought up in the
country, and most of them worked
hard on the farms In their youth ana
got their early mental training In the
healthy democracy of fnrm life

are those corporations pouring their

for? When railroad stutfs a judges

what they expect don't you? You
know they expect something in return
Ghey expect friendly disposition on
the part of the judge, and very fire.
quently ii is quite friendly. Laugh
