ECONOMY CREATED
 GREATEST FARM
nAvrD RANKIN OF TARKIo, MO
 OWNS AND MANAGES 22,oOo : ACRES OF LAND.
Economical Farmer Who Started With Nothing Has Cleared
 S1OO, GOO Year.

The State of Missouri has the distlnc- tion of having within her borders as citizen the most extensive indiViduaI farmer in the United States, if not in the ci1,ilized world, He is David Rankin or Tarkio, Mo- the owner of fourteen ranches, including more than 22'OOO acres of as fine black soil as the sun ever shone on. ~
 MT, Rankin is the largest stock feeder in the world. He buys more corn than any other farmer in the United States and most of it is fed to stock on his farms Besides the extensive farming operations Mir Rankin is interested in many other enterprises. In appearance he is typl- cal farmer. He is six feet two inches tall and weighs 1SO pounds. Each day he rides over his farms and gives orders 10 his foreman. He frequently stops on the way to assist in pulling q steer out of mudhole or to build q shed to protect a fat porker from the rays of the hot sun. He is as familiar with the men employed on his farms as housewife is with her domestic duties.
 To the person who has never visited tEe Rankin farms the problem of carrying on the work seems to be a great task, but the system Is so thorough and complete that the management is easy.
 Mir. Rankin owns about 2200o acres of land besides this he leases considerable land adjoining him. It takes about 700 teams and 20 men to do his work during the busy months of summer, while the crops are being put in, cultivated and har- vested. Each ranch has foreman who has full charge of the work on tho one ranch under his supervision; he is re- quired to make out a monthly report, ill., ing out printed blank, giving in detail the amount. expended and taken in during the month. This report Is submitted to Mir. Rankin on the 5th of each month.
 The examination of the final statements of the year 1902 showed that a total of | ,539 head of cattle had been sold. They brought the sum of $l72,52O. The number
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-31

of hogs sold was S.249. for which the sum of S1l1, ,S46.14 was received
 The total clearance of his operations during 1900 was more than SloO,0O0. This was his most prosperous year. During the month of July the teams and men cultivate an average of a thousand acres of corn, day. They use the double TOW riding cultivator. This blow is disk con- cern so arranged as to blow the ground on both sides Of a row of corn. One man can blow from twenty to twenty-five acres day with one of them. They are easy on both man and beast.
 MT. Rankin gave as a donation S.O''eV to tfa United Presbyterian College at Tar kio. This is one of the leading colleges ol the State. He is d believer in higher edu- cation of the masses and that chufches and schools arc tho two potent factors which have brought the American people up to the high standard which they nave attained.
 The following tabulated statement of his operations during the last year SHOWS some astonishing figures: o, Number of acres farmed ......... ZS.lSl Expense per acre.. ......''.:''' Sf.t. Amount corn bought in bushels. sSs: '4S Amount paid for corn.............%i .%i"'''f''o'

Cultivate Your Wife's Friendship.

There are few men 50 ignorant of the
chances and turns i'll human life as not
L. realize that one of the most avail
able assets of success is Friendship.
Many a man has gone to the top through
the countless little shoyes upward he has
received from friend here and Il friend
there, hardly noticeable at the time. Yet
many of these successful men are un-
happy from the mere fact that. while
having made hundreds and perhaps thou

make friend of his wife.
If man has good wife he has the
best friend it is possible to have. "A
mans best friend, says Bulwer LyttOn,
is a wife of good sense and good heart,
whom he loves. and who loves him. In
woman there is at once a subtle deli
cacy of tact and Il plain suundneSs of
judgment which are rarely combined 10
an equal degree in 4 man. A woman, #
she be really your friend. will have 4
sensitive regard for your character, hon
or, repute. She will seldom counsel you
10 do shabby thing, for a woman al
ways desires to be proud of you. At the
same time. her constitutional timiditT
makes her more cautious than your male
friend. She. therefore, seldom counsels
y0u to do an imprudent deed"

clipping off from her husbands moral
