Farmers inform us that a flock of twenty sheep is a profits-hie one. but when this number is increased to fifty or sixty, disease develops and there is loss instead of profit. Similarly a flock of twenty or thir- ty hens returns a. very considerable not profit while in the flock of a hundred the opposite‘ is the case. And so, it is argued. it goes through all human activity.

ls this the case? think so!

We donut 1n the case of the acre of land as compared with the ten. the trouble is that we depended up- on one crop only; we put "all our 855s in one llrasket." biixed farm- ing would have yielded a corres- ponding profit on- the ten acres.

1f we undertake to herd twenty‘ cattle in a space large enough for only two or three; ii‘ we try to raise sixty sheep or a hundred hens where there is room for only a fraction of these we invite disease and disaster. There is no reason why twenty head of cattle, a hun- dred sheep or a -shollld not yield n

thousand hens proportionate profit provided thoy had as good a chance as tho single animal or the smaller flock. Our limitations are largely due to the fact that in our inordinate am- bition We overestimate our capac- ity. Within our capacity there are no limitations. -—-—-<oc-_.

um. i...“ On Cuba Lotteries

General Crowder, American en- voy to Cuba. has been summoned to Washington to discuss the Cub- an lottery, question. Washington

is said to regard the lottery as a violation of the economic pact be-

tween Cuba and the United States. Cuba regards it as one of its most cherished institutions. Not only is it approved by practically all Gub- ans. but it constitutes a most inl- portant source of government rev- enue. To abolish it as the United States desires, wmlld be to deprive the government of several milllvlls of dollars s year. It is true that these millions would remain in the pockets of the Cubans, but it doc-s not follow that they would n5 cheerfully contribute them for the
