A FAULT.

An error in farming is constant
desire for change. The farm should
be thought of as home for life, and
of then being left to the heirs. 1t
ought to be worked with that idea.
And there is too much changing
with the Crops-tirSt one thing and
then another-the result OF which is a
constant and proftless shifting.
For time sheep-raising is made
the leading feature of the place; it is
followed by the rearing of breed OF
cattle, or the cultivation of cotton, to,
bacco or hops.
There ought to be plan, subject
only to those changes that an improve
ment in agricultural methods suggests,
OF course the process required in
rotating crops ought to be part OF
every plan of farming, That is very
different from change made as part OF
no regular plan.
The thought that we would have pre-
vail here is that the work of farming
should 60 on regularly from year to
year so that even in midwinter there
requires to be scheme Tor the opera,
tons.
The man who is always trying to sell
his farm has his heart in some other
locality or business, and he is almost
sure to be of the sort wishing to give
his energies to a new crop or breed
OF livestock.
