SOME EEFLECTIONS 



)USINESS is nothing more than being in- 

 dustriously engaged in the affairs of some 

 occupation from which we derive our sup- 

 port. 



>AKMING is our biggest business. It feeds 

 the nations of the world and is the basis of 

 all prosperity and happiness, and therefore 

 should receive our biggest consideration, and be 

 safeguarded by our best brains and legislation. 



pioneer days when farming implements 

 and machinery were of the crudest kind, re- 

 quiring muscle to use them, brawn, more 

 than brains, was needed in the business of farm- 

 ing, in order to rescue soils from the wilderness 

 of timber and prairie growth. 



these days of worn and worn-out soils and 

 the abandoned farm, with the most improved 

 labor-saving farm machinery, the business 

 of farming needs brains more than brawn, that 

 our soils may be rescued from the wilderness of 

 wasted fertility that has stifled them. 



jLTHOUGH the business of farming requires 

 in its operations constant industry and the 

 exercise of thought and study in its every 

 detail, in order to make it successful, yet it af- 

 fords greater opportunities for the best and right 

 living, and the achievement of happiness, than 

 any other business.
