 FARMING DON'T PAY
 A farmer drove to town the other day ia wagon from which the paint had cleaved in spots as the result of exposure to sun and rain, with harness cracked and broken and with evidences of slack ness about various parts of the outfit He remarked that somehow or other farming don't pay any more, things don't last as they used to, COWS don't give winter milk enough to ray for the feed and he guesses he would welcome chance to go into some other business. When this man completed his dlsser- tation on the struggles of the farmer, climbed into his rattling vehicle and started for home, his neighbor who had heard his plaint, said, No, farming don't pay him and probably never will. Should you visit his place to-day you would find his horse rake, his moving machine, his reaper and other farm tools standing out of doors, his barn doors hanging by one hinge and everything else in slip-shod condition. He spoke about his feed bills exceeding his milk receipts in the winter. And no won- der. The boards have shrunk apart and the stable is little better than an open she'd The feed the cows eat is required to maintain animal heat and there IS but little available for the formation of milk. ".s And this man Is only one of a large class with the reader is familiar. He fails to make farming pay because he is shiftless, because he expects large returns for small exertion and because he don't take the most ordinary care of his equipment. But would he succeed any better in any other line of business:
