A CONTEMPORARY says "There is
no reason why farming may not be
made to pay much oftencr than it
does Very few have learned TO
regard it as a business. 1t is a sort OF
chance work all around. Most men
look on it as a sort of a real estate trans
action They hope one day to sell out
at bic figure, hence are afraid to i'm
prove their farms with view to agri-
cultural operations, for fear that who
ever buys the land will not care foI
these little things. We have often
heard some improving farmer ridiculed
for his expenditures by some knowing
ones, who were very sure so-and-sc
would get no more for his place than il
he had thrown his money in the dirt.
