•, LEAVING :AN ESTATE
The life insurance. companies are.
fond of gathering figures regarding`
'the turcertairity of life, especially with
:i•eferenc'e to, the , accuintilation of
wealth. It is well that these companies
do this for it brings to us a realization
of what the life history. of the average
individual is. The one who gets:inter
ested in. these figures becomes more
cautious in the inangenient of his fi-
nances, ;,and endeavors to plan ahead.
These statistics show that only
three mei:', out of every hundred leave
estaOes of $10,000 or over; fifteen .oth-
ers leave between $'a,000 and $ro,000,
while eighty-two of every hundred
leave no income producing estates at
all. In other words, tli.e chances are
better than four to one that you and
.' will die poor; we won't leave the
world with any more than we enter-
ed it.
These figures ,almost scare a`fel-
low,` but the.farmer need not take
fright as much as .the city fellow. The
farrier wlio owns a .farm, • has an es-
tate to leave; it is .an `income-produc-
ing 'estate at 'that; at 'least 'it should
'be.' If that fanner sells .otit and goes
to the, city the,chances ;are that his
• an:oney will get away 'from him, and.
lie will be numbered ansong+the eigh-
;ty-two who die, poor.
So. from the standpoint of :having
something in old age: and of -being in
..a position to leave relatives at',least"a.
little remembrance,'it` seems :a wise.
thing for"' , a :fellow to hold onto the
farm. Apparently a good- farm is
