Little Farms. Many farmers spread their labors over too large an area of land, doing nothing well and being always hurried and behind witii their work, with 110 tune for rest or recreation,says a writer in the Kpitomist. By attempting to cover too much ground, the work is only half accomplished, with the result that the yield is much lessened ami tho quality of an inferior grade, so that the returns from the large farm in many instances will not cover cost of production ; while if there should be a surplup, large taxes and cost of repairs will swallow it up, so that the hard-worked farmer lias nothing to show at the end of the year for his long season of labor. 1 if ?...? ?? v/i tuumo iiitiin ni e suiue men poHHesued with capital and exceptional bufline68 talout who are making large farms pay all expenses and yield a handsome profit besides; but the majority t)f farmers will secure better results and obtain more real enjoyment for themselves and families by adopting a system of intensive farming.
