The following Is t;ikon from (he current Issue of Kami and .Fireside: "One of the greatest drawbacks to A Merry Christmas To You Ail, Merry May It Be! We hope that many more limy come, Which yon will live lo sec; Wo hope that each recurring date Remember 25th, Will llnd you in n merry state Itself--A ChristmasGif t OREGON BAKERY BiUYcsful farming Is a lack of work ing capital, i am trot writing of the men who simply ratse grain and sell it, as this class require little capital to start with and seldom have any to finish with, nor am 1 writing of the nun who acquired their land years ai:o for next to nothing and have raised a goodly family to do the la bor. This class, now fast passing, retire to town and pose aB successful farmers. i- "I write of the man who buys lnnd nuw at from $100 to l!00 an acre and has to make It pay. The great mistake this man makes is putting nearly all Ms capital Into land and leaving little or nothing to run It with, because on this high-priced lnnd the basis of his success muBt be live stock and leguminous crops, and, as these do not give the quick returns rain-raising does, he must have more capital, and hence must buy less land. There is not a farmer in the stale of Iowa owning one hund red and sixty acres of - land who would not be belter off In every way If he sold forty acres nnd used the proceeds to buiul up the remaining one hundred anil twenty acres. I "1 often sit on a hill on my farm and feel sick at the awful waste as 1 realize what could he and how slowly I am doing it, and as 1 sit there and see the whole farm before me; with 1 my pencil and notebook, 1 can figure out that three hundred acres are net- I ting me $L'0 an acre and two hundred acres only $S an acre. What's the trouble? Too much land. I'm not eettinc out of the land what Is In it, I keep and feed hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs, and yet 1 can see my j income would be Increased if 1 sold i two hundred acres built more silos. kept more live slock and raised i heavier crops from the extra man ure."

He Is known to the Village Loafer and to tho Small Boy, but Bradstreet Knows him not, nor does tho Hunker Speak Affably to him. Ho e generally an Honest Old Plug, a sort of Human Dobbin, but ho never gts far up the Ladder of Succoss till the One Suspender Duets. Once he proposed lo a Wise Girl, but ehe lot htm down easy; "I'd ho afraid to travel In Double Har ness with a Plug with only one trace." So he Married a girl who hltchod up Her Skirt with Plus. Finally he Broke Into Business and directly Broke Out Again. When the Sheriff took Invoice ho found sevoral Letterheads Noatly Printed with a Rubber Stamp. When the Stock was Advertised for the First Time, One Man bought the Whole Works. MORAL: Don't be a One-Suspendered Man. Use Review Ads. tT IICII. F. F. PATTERSON AM) IIKIl
