THE CASE OF MIR. JONES.
An Example of Man Who Farms for
Failure.

Mr. Jones, whom Profitable Farm
ing Magazine, st. Joseph, Mo-, knows,
is an old man who went back to the
farm after he had played out at his
trade. He is more than sixty years
old, he bought two acres of farm
land alongside an interurban-and
he put it in corn!
There are three in the Jones fam
lily and they keep a horse. The two
acres, which isn't all paid for, cost at
least $1,000. 1t is low and ove,-
flows occasionally. Figure a bit and
see where Mr.. Jones is at. His
groceries and other necessities for
three must at least cost $40 a month,
and certainly $40 a month ought to
be paid on the debt. If his whole
place is in corn, not counting out
