I t frequently becomes desirable to
have the pasture so arranged as to

In the future small farms will be the
rule. More and better products will be
raised on 00 acres than are now on 120
acre«. There are farmers to-day who
plant a 40-acre field In corn who could
take the same amount of manure they
used and put It on a 20-acre field, and
get a greater yield and o f better qual­
ity. Besides this, it wlU take only half
the time to plow and cultivate the 20-
acre field, which would further add to
the profits. What a lesson the market
gardeners are constantly giving to os
farmers. Why, some o f them use more

some farmers do on 120 acres.
