Another reason:

We're disorganized and individuals tic to the extreme. There's no ten dency towards socialism among farm CTS. It would be a good thing if there were more of it; that is, more of a trend towards sane and safe habit of combination and mutual co-opera- ton. The business world is all or ganized, and comes at us with forty million batteringram power at every blow. We can't hope to sustain it's at tacks, singly and each one for himself. The whole situation reminds me of the eternal warfare of the seashore. There are the pebbles and the sand grains of the beach necessarily being pound- ed by the waves. Every wave is made up of innumerable separate drops of water, but they gather themselves to- gether by tens and by thousands and by millions into one great massive roller whiCk thunders up the beach and whirls the pebbles and sand every which way,-and a few other ways,

There is more Catarh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it Sncurable Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F J. Che ney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio. is the only constitutional cure on the market It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful It acts di- rectly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system.

too. It's only when Nature has fused and pressed and baked, in her under ground laboratory, the sand and the pebbles into rock, and then slowly heaved a great cliff up on the shore line that the wave meets something 1t oant batter about.
 We farmers are the incoherent, un- organized tumble and huddle of sand grains on the beach: big business is the great tons-heavy comber that comes crashing upon us, with all the weight of its uncountable drops com bined Into one smashing blow.

Another reason:-

About thirty COWS in every hundred are not paying for their keep. They are not returning in milk or butter or cheese as much money to their owners as those owners spend on them in feed, etc. Expert observers declare it doubtful if half the cows in the state bring in as much profit as their cost would return, if put into the savings bank.
 That Is to say, we're keeping a whole lot of improbable stock just for the sake of keeping it. This may be fun,- but 1t isn't farming.

THE REASONS WHY FARMING
 DOESN'T PAY

farm products as a whole, it seems to be clearly demonstrated that about sixty cents of every consumers dollar goes into the bank accounts of the middlemen and only about forty cents into the farmers pockets.
 That is to say, the consumer pays forty cents for his dinner and sixty cents tip" to the waiter for bringing it to him. It is one of the mysteries how a people, most of whom, indi- vidually have brains in their heads, should endure this incredibly rapacious outrage for a single year.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15
Another reason:

We're,-too many of us,-half ashamed of our business, down in the bottom of our hearts We're ashamed of our old work clothes, and our coarse shoes ,and our roughened hands, and the grime of the onion-bed under our finger mails (which won't come out, scrub as we may). We look upon our work as drudgery, to be done because we must; not as a high vocation, to be followed with joy
 And no good thing will ever come out of any such mentally obfuscated Naza- reth as that,
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15
Another reason:

We're spending shoals of wealth in city schools to teach city children free-hand drawing and music and bank discounts, but mighty little on country schools to teach country children the elements of success and happiness in country life.
 We're shove1ling out millions to make fancy roads for automobiles to speed over, and almost nothing com. paratively speaking, on roads to haul hay and potatoes.

If you'll accept those as some of the reasons why "Farmin' don't pay" it ought to be possible to see few of the things to do in order to make it pay. When one has found out what disease he has, he Is more likely to know what medicine to take for it.

beg to suggest just a few of tn,

T Ueg 10 sUyY6sI IUSE IHW UI lIs reasons.
 One is that we are raising about forty bushels of corn to the acre, when we might raise a hundred: that we are cutting about a ton and half of hay to the acre, when we might cut three or four tons; that we are digging ninety-five bushels of potatoes to the acre, when we might dig two hundred and fifty and three hundred.
 That is to say, we are not producing half what we ought to produce on the same land with the same labor,-if only land and labor were more wisely used.

ACKNOWLEDGE IT
Norwich Has to Bow to the Inevitable
 Scores of Citizens Prove 1t.

After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Nor wich given below. you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago. which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same work in other cases. Read this:
 Mrs. c. Bennett, 46 Palmer St. Nor wich, Conn, says: Some years ago a member of my family suffered from backache. Every cold he contracted settled on his kidneys and aggravated the trouble. His kidney were dis ordered as was shown by the kidney secretions which were irregular in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills. pro- cured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store, brought prompt relief (State- ment given August 27. 19oS.)
 LASTING EFFECT.
 On July 21, 1911. Mrs. Bennett said: 'Doan's Kidney Pills cured member of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no re- currence of 1t. l willingly confirm my former public endorsement of this remedy"

Another reason:

Boys and girls are still leaving the farms for factories and shops and stores, and the dwindling supply of available farm labor makes it's cost almost prohibitive. Just as long as money is plentier and easier in the city, just so long this will continue. And money will always be plentier and easier in the towns, while those towns take sixty cents out of every farmers s dollar for themselves, letting only forty made it all.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15

if, for example, we should make up our minds to move into the hundred bushel class-and stay there,-we should certainly step up one notch.
 If we should take the trouble to find out which cows are paying us and which we are not paying and sell off the last, we should certainly save a few pennies,-every one of which would be two pennies earned.
 If we should plant ourselves solidly on the demand that the country, which is the ultimate product of all wealth, should have spent on its roads and schools a ratable proportion of tue wealth it produces, the young folks and the old 'uns ,too,-might find the country better worth staying in.
 If we would only organize our pro- ducing business, as the handling and transporting businesses are organized, we might sometime find ourselves get ting sixty cents on the dollar, instead of the forty we're now put off with.

That leaves us Actual Farming, as 1t is, and Intelligent Farming, as it might be.-to think about. They are quite different things. even though you and I who are actual farmers may think ourselves and may really be highly intelligent individuals.
 And it must be admitted that the sort of farming you and l do,-we representing the great majority,-does not pay. in any financial sense. Mind you I'm not admitting that it doesn't "pay" in some other senses. We've talked that over before, and l take back nothing about the value of the intangible rewards which farm life brings But. considering money in come only. Farming as it is done does not pay. Not so well as coal mining, or bricklaying, or working at present wages by the day.

Most important of all, if we could all brace up a little in our mental at titude,-square off the shoulders of our minds, you know,-get up a little more enthusiasm, absorb a little more progressiveness, put a little more hope into our eye-water and a little more zeal into our morning coffee, we'd soon find that things would show a change.

v-zitten Specially for The Bulletin9 There are reasons, plenty as black berries in August, why "Farmin' don't pay.
 That is, Farmin as it is Earned.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15

berrfeS Tn August, why dhAAh uoh pay.
 That is, Farmin' as it is Earned.
 For there are tbree vastly different so~ts of Farming. There is first, Farm ing as it is: second, Farming asit Ing as 1t is: second, Farming as it might be. Or. to phrase the thing diff ferently, there is Actual Farming; and Ideal Farming: and Intelligent Farm ing
 In any practical consideration of the general subject, 1t is safe to leave the second sort out of sight. Ideal Farm ing won't happen till we have an ideal world of ideal people with ideal wealth CT. When that ideal state arrives we shall all be farmers, to the last man Jack; all as chipper and cheerful as erickets: and we shall all live happy ever afterwards.
 But such a thing won't be in your day or mine.
