was because the foreigner demands
something little fancier than the

reason is that the citizens of Germany,
where most of the envelopes are
made. are conservationists. The Ger.
man double envelope is only half as
heavy as the American envelope Of
equal size. The paper is very thin.
And this is used primarily to cut down

FARMING IS GREAT SCIENCE
Golden Rule VIII Prevail In Spite Of
AlI-Land Owner Must Feed His
Land to Keep Tenant.

There is a science, and art and a
business Of farming. Science tells this
man t. 1t he should buy feeds to balance
up the COW ration, but the business
end of his operation indicates he thinks
that he had better not do so.
This short-lease system is a bad
habit, and must be overcome, but you
will never get the long-term lease sys-
tenn by abusing the landlord and his
farm. The man who takes best care
of the farm he rents stays the longest
and makes the most money. To spend
our time on half-bred cattle and half.
led acres Is acme of foolishness. and
40 man who does any thinking will
10 1t.
II a land owner is not willing IN
feed his acres well no sensible man
will rent his farm. and Just as no
land owner with any buiness ability
will rent his farm to a man who viii
not feeu his cattle well and intelli-
gently. There are people on both
sides who do these things, but they are
both losers in the long run, and are
the violent kickers.
