WAYS TO RUIN
AN ENGLISH OPINION Ten avenues to tho poorhouso are given in an English farming exchange. They are : Grow only one crop. Keep no live stock. Regard chickens and a garden as nuisances. Take everything from the soil and retu'i'n notnifig. ' . '."• Don't stop gullies or grow cover crops —let the top soil wash away, then you will haye "bottom" land. Don't plan your farm operations—it's hard work thinking, trust to luck. Regard your woodland as you would a coal mine—cut every tree and sell the timber and wear: the cleared land out cultivating it'in corn. Hold fast to the idea that the methods of farming employed by your grandfather are good enough for you. Be independent—don't join with your neighbours in any form'of co-operation. Mortgage the farm for every dollar it will stand'to buy things you would have cash to buy if you followed a good sys tern of fanning.
