It is hard to tell whatis the reason for this, but itis easy to see that the farmer is the loser in dollars and cents. The young man who- works hard all summer asa hired man, then takes his wages and blows them in in a ten days’ blow-out generally lives to real- ize that he has been several kinds of a fool.
