Running a Farm at a Profit.

ers in the country. He has also been
governor of the state, but these public
duties have not prevented his running
his farm, and at a profit. In recent
address he said the trouble with most
farmers was that they were not ven
turesome enough. \ vast number of
men have a wrong idea of economy,
says he. They think it consists in
spending as little as possible, whereas
it consists in spending all you can,
providing Won spend it wisely. l know
hundreds of farmers who think the
true way is to get all they can out
of the farm, give as little back as
possible, and save up money to loan on
notes, mortgages, at 6 per cent. Urge
them to loan the farm the surplus
money in needed improvements to
make it efficient and more profitable
more certain, and they viii refuse even
though the interest the farm viii pay
would be 20 per cent. Is that a good
understanding of farm economies
