Those SO ready to say that farming
does not pay. should try another calling
for season or two and then foot up the
result. The cities of the northwest are
full of men who left farms a few years
ago to try city life; most Of them brought
q little property with them, who now, too
poor to get back te farming. are living
from hand to mouth by day labor or team
work, dependent upon others. and not
knowing where the next weeks supply
of food and fnel will come from. If far
ming does not pay. it is easier to to put
enough brain work into it to to make it
pay, than to enter upon the fierce strug-
gle for life that is going on in all the cit
les, There are nine chances to win on a
farm to one in city.
