10 ell large cities are many families VITO

tbst are seeking places 10 the country In
which to spend a vaestion. The people

OF cookery aud bed furnishing. Bat not

The farmer who caters 10 the city trade
in this line must expect to foreeo not

Independent" farmer can advise no
farmer Ct Maine or elsewhere TO attempt
keeping summer boarders without o good
deal Of previous calculation aud prepare

trade, snd the business 10 something TO
grow into ss are most other vocstions.
There can rarely be any profit from one
or Two bosrdtrs, because SO many changes
are required 10 the mode oil living. The
comfort and tastes OF the guests must be
kept constantly in mind. 1t must be
pretty large farmhouse that can comforta
bly, accommodate double the usual number
Of occupants. City bo.rders sre not go
ing to stay long where they must sleep in
the attic OF low, one story house. nor in
an unfinished loft over the woodshed or
carriage house. Neither will summer
boarders 90 the second time to O place

To make q success in this line ore
should have large two story house With
plenty Of cool, airy sleeping rooms that

rounding should be shady, clean end ut
rsctive by the presence Of green swsrd

vegetable and fruit garden should con

be table supplies. Some glass for forcing

Milk and cream should be as free as wat
