II is the only way in prospect. too.
In going into a new life of produc-
duction. as. for instance. from general
farming TO gardening. il would be well
TO begin OF a reasonably small scale.
1t is said that there are 75, 900 900

legitimate business.
Radishes require very porus and
very rich soil to do best. A mixture
of sand and leaf mold makes them
mature very rapidly. They should not
be allowed to lack for water.
A writer says that an apple tree in

overcome, but planting an orchard of
poor trees on unsuitable land is not

and then give it proper care than to !
plant 100 sickly trees on poor land to |
be neglected later on.
As a rue we cultivate more acres
than is profitable. Instead of putting
twenty acres in to potatoes, put all of /
The fertilizer on the ten acres and grow
the double crop, letting the rest go to /
grass, thus saving the labor. Cultivate /
fewer acres and keep more stock. Feed /
ing the cattle you will feed the soil.
and it will bring forth the crop that I
will feed the pocket-book.
