ACRES TOO MANY FOR AVERAGE
MAN.

l believe the hardest lesson we
American farmers find TO learn is
that Of cultivating less land and do
ing ut better. writes N. E. T. in Farm
Progress. And dt is not only the hard
est to learn but It is the most impor-
tant that We should learn.
The lure of the broad acresn is
so strong that not one of us in a thou
sand has "the nerve" to saw right off
and start a new plan. We are not
persuaded to try the little farm well
0lNed- " even though we know Of cas-
es where men seem to be running
farms not much larger than a CAMDEN
and making larger profits when men
on big farms are losing.
| like to read accounts of men who
ane making money cultivat1ng small
acres and to tell others about it. 1t
Is the most important lesson thai 80
cut cf 100 can learn. and no man who
has ever tried both the extensive"
and the intensive" plan is apt to
change back to it. unless he just grad.
ually grows into bigger operations,
because he finds that he is in a posi-
ton to add a little to the work he
can do.
Almost all of US know of some who
are making a big success on the little
farm plan, but we mostly lack the
nerve to try 1T ourselves. Here Dis a
case have JUS read about that oughl

A man named Jones. in Illinois. five
yeans ago, began the Intensive" plan

winter he put in twenty-five large
loads of Stable manure on the land,

Back With Mew MIN, a life in the
big farmhouse, sun.
shiny in summer and secure In win
ter. Then she thought of her life
with her uncle in a dark apartment
In the streets Of the city. She knew
that, in a way, 1t was a false idea of
duty that would take her back. Yet
she had to go, some force that was
IN her seemed impelling her.
The wind blew in great blasts
against the little house, the snow had
drifted up to the window stills, and
white lines Of 1t pointed across the
window pane like ghostly fingers.
Dragging footsteps came up the path.
Nell listened. It was not Jack Nor
ton; these were the steps of an old
man. From the door voice Quavered:
Are you there, Nell?"
Uncle" she said, fearfully, "how
did you come here?"
II met young man down the
road" he said. 81 wanted him to
guide me to the McGregors. He told
me you were here.
You didn't answer my letter" the
old man went on, when she had made
him sit down.
Are you going back with me?"
Now that she was face to face with
his meanness, it seemed to Nell that
she could never go with him.
II don't know" she faltered.
Here's a grateful girl" the old
man stormed, and just then the
sleighbells jingled and, in another
moment Jack Norton was in the
room, his arms full of bundles, his
eyes beaming.
$50 this is your uncle" he said
Il thought so when l directed him
here. You'll stay and have supper
with US, won't you, sir? We are go
ing. to see the old year out and the
new year in" :.
who are your the old man
growled.
"I?" Jacks eyes flashed from Nells
covering figure to the grimness of
the uncle. Then suddenly he took
things in his own hands.
I'm the man your niece is going
to marry" he said.
What" the old man shouted.
I'm the man your niece is going
to marry" he said securely. He had
seen the Joy in Nell's face.
But she is going home With me-"
Jack shook his head. mo, she is
going home with me. You can come
whenever you wish, sir. The old
house is big enough for twenty

They piled 1t up to here.
1t must have taken awful long
To count Just once a year.
They tell me when go to bed
The last December night,
I'll have to go without a meal
Until the next years light.
Some people think they're avfui
smart,
But know what they mean;
The next year has to be next day.
There's nothing in between.
A New Years days happy time !
For almost every one
It seems a sort Of start of thiner .
With nothing quite begun,
And everybody's feeling young
And spry. just like a boy,
hope your happy New Year win
Be spilling-full Of Joy.

The snow began to fall softly as
she left the house, and by the time

lighted one, and when the warmth
began to steal into the room, she

hearth and in the peaceful loneliness

But she was not to remain in peace
long. There was a sound of sleigh
bells without, heavy steps on the
threshold, and she looked up to see
the burly form Of young farmer in
