Fines and Fines.

Years ago in Franklin, KY, the
farmers. coming In from the country.
used to insist on tying their teams to
the picket fence round the public
square. The horses nibbled the fenc-
ing and put the town to much expense.
So to break up the habit the town trus-
tees affixed large placard to the fence
with the following warning inscribed
thereon: "Fine to Hitch Here"
Some weeks later German tobacco
buyer, making contracts for his gov
eminent. drove into Franklin from a
nearby town He read the sign. but
nevertheless tied his horse to the fence.
A constable arrested him and took him
before magistrate. and he was as
scssed $40 and costs for violating a
town ordinance.
"Vot rotten language!' said the
German as he paid over the amount.

THE. LITTLE
PAY
By C. c. BOWSFIELD

With cows or poultry as the basis Of
a business, furnishing regular In
come, additional money is to be made
from a variety Of products, including
potatoes, onions, berries and large
fruits. The farmer. needs to give at
tention to details. He should know
which articles pay best and which dis
tribute the labor of his men most even
~. There must be q we'll balanced
program. 1t is Of the greatest impor-
lance to- learn how reasonably large
profits may be gained on a moderate
investment of capital and labor. The
: farmer ought to get out Of the rut, If
he is in one, and familiarize himself
with the conditions which govern his
business.
If one asks farmer which crop pays
him best it probably will turn out that
he does not know. AS matter of fact
crop Of apples, potatoes, onions or
grain does not always pay satisfac-
tory profit, although at times any one
of them makes big return. There are
few farmers who will deny that the
apple orchard is the most profitable
acreage on the farm. but even here the
profit might be doubled If the farmer
would give more attention to the man.
agement of his orchard, keeping the
soil cultivated, pruning and spraying
the trees, adding fertility to the sell
and selling to the best advantage.
A farm cannot be profitable unless It
pays interest on its cost, pays for all
work done, whether by the farmer
himself or by his sons or hired men.
and in addition a sum for the farmers
benefit, depending upon the season and
the business capacity Of the owner.
Where the farm Is very small or the
labor question is difficult to handle 1t
will be best to drop the cows and sub
stitute less laborious kind of agri
culture. If all the work Is to be per
formed by members of the family
poultry, fruit. vegetables and flowers
are the best products.
If the tract is not more than twenty
acres it will hardly pay to undertake
anything in the line of dairying, but q
place Of ten acres is ample for quite a
large poultry plant, a garden and nm
orchard.
