Do you believe that the farmer is getiing his share of the profits on his products? Look at the difference in the way e the average farmer lives and the luxury the man enjoys th't looks af ter the farmer. No! Labor is not too high or scarce! It is your method of farming that is to low and the Ick of brains in your work%that makes things bad. If man sweat comes too high, use more horse sweat and improved im plements in the man's place. There is more than four times the amount of moisture and fertilizer re 'taining power in land plowed twelve inches deep than in land plowed only three inches deep. Fall plowing forwards spring work and pulverizes the soil while spring plowing often makes clods and is often too wet to plow. Pile three acres of land on top of each other by plowing deep in the fall, this, will save two thirds of the man labor and cultivation of the crop. TEACHE WANTE.
