WHY FARM so MUCH.
Carroll Record.

putting out their crops, in season, and in saw
ing them at the harvest time, prompts the
ouestion-why farm so much land? or course,
there are dozens of answers read, the most Of
which centre around the idea that it is neces-
sarv to farm extensively in order to make ends
meet, and little besides.
We admit unfamilarity with the details Of
farming operations, but we very much doubt
whether it is necessary to farm large acreage
and raise big crops, in order to make money;
and we very much doubt whether those who
are making money by following this plan can
really afford to do it, considering bodily health.
Having before us the undoubted success OF the
average small farmer who owns his farm, we
are of the opinion that his example is worth
following. It not the large number of acres,
bushels or tons, which stand for profit at the
end of the year, but the balance of cash on
hand after expenses are paid, and the physical
strain on the farmer himself must be consid-
ered In other words, 1.-The general results
are what. count, and the same IS true OF any
kind of business. Some people work, worry
and slave, in order to do big bus mess and
handle lots of stuff, but at the end they are
not whit better off than those who do great
deal less.
or corn when it is sure thing that it will be
a difficult matter to save the whole crop, con-
sidering the scarcity of help? Why not reduce
expense risk and work-farm less acres-and
aim to do the smaller amount OF work betterf
Why not turn certain fields into grass and let
them alone-or, better still, sell them and in
vest the money? No doubt these suggestions
are all wrong, according to settled customs, but
some customs must change, with changed con-
ditions. -
The small farm is bound to come, and the
wise landowner will meet the change more
than halfway. He had better cut up his big
| farm and sell it in small tracts, taking mort
cages for security, if necessary. If it does not
pay to continue the tenant and shares system
| with small farms and if big farms can no
| longer be successfully managed to produce
nroft. what is the use to continue trying to
| change impossibilities This is plain business
| sense whether one knows anything about the
science of farming or not.
TIE MORMON who was fined $500 for having
a forty-third child by his fifth wife must be q
remarkable financier. He took the cash right
out of the family exchequer and paid up.
