The second principle is that all tlt : ngs

The average earnings of a man and
his wife tor cne year will ensbla them,
with the greatest economy, to lay up
about $3 month —the average farm
belonging to one family is but one and

rent, and upon the balance tie farmer
has to support him)elf and his family.
