All of these could be produced on the farm for seventy-five per cent, less money, and this money could be kept on the farm. It might help, at least, to keep the intrest paid up. There is a great talk about beef combiues, but if there were more smoke houses and corned beef barrels around the farm bouses, the beef combines would not keep the firm hold they have.
