rent issue OF Farm and Nreside:

ures. tills a farm of 1873 acres and has
an average investment of s6,44S. OF
this investment his buildings repre-
sent 1894; his implements and ma.

per cent. His gross income Is s9S0.55,
and out Of this he pays an average ex
pense account OF s340.15. His interest
on the mortgage averages siO2.50, so
that his income after all charges are
