His wish to become 4 farmer was now
realized. Mr.. Dent, his father-in'law,
gave his wife a farm about nine miles
from St. Louis, in Missouri, and l
stocked it. Grant farmed it for about
four wears, at the end of which he was
not so well off pecuniarily as when he
began. At the end of four
years of unremitting labor, finding that
farming didn't pay, Grant concluded to
quit it, and moved into St. Louis, and
went into the real estate business with
man named Boggs. After trying this
a few months, he saw that the profits
were not sufficient to support two fam
lilies. and he told his partner, lyon may

Horses the Leading Passion Of His Life
Early Life of General Grant by his Father,
n. Y. Ledger March I.
The leading passion of Ulysses, almost
from the time he could go alone, was
for horses. He used to harness
horses when he had to get up in the
manger to put the bride and collar on,
and then turn the half-bushel over and
stand on that to throw the harness on.
At eight and half years of age he had
become q regular driver. AT about
ten years OF age he used to drive a pair
of horses alone, from Georgetown, where
we lived, forty miles, to Cincinnati, and
bring back load of passengers.
Ulysses had the habit of riding our
horses to water, standing upon their
bare backs. He began this practice
when about five years old. lie al
ways broke his own horses. He
had q most wonderful faculty for break
ing horses to pace; it became known Ill
the neighborhood, and people used to
apply to him to break their horses to
pace.
