The chief reason why milk end
butter and other products OF nearby
farms have gone up SO in price, is be.
cause the farming population steadily
decreases, but with prices as they are
now, there is no question: but that a
fair income can be earned on farm
with no more work and a greater de-
cree of independence than in the
towns and cities Farmers work hard
CT than village people for four or fye
months in the crop growing and har-
vesting season, but for five or six
months in winter they do not work
half as hard, or at least a large pro
portion Of them do not. With milk at
10 cents a quart, eggs at as to 70 cents
dozen and butter at SO cents q
pound, a farmer ought to make more
money than a man in town, who does
not earn more than from two to ioui
dollars per day.
