Thousands of factory employees are
counting The years, if not the weeks, of
their confn ng labors, and t, Ike up what to
them is an ideal existence, upon farm
we'll titled, and possess barns well filled,
Many of these tired and weary ones will
never see their hopes realized. but some
of them are year by year taking up farm
life, al d many of them with gratifying re-
suits. The movement mentioned at the
opening of this article would seem 10
show that the number is on the increase,
and we'll it is, we believe OF course
every dissatisfied factory employe will not
make successful agricuturist, for success
on New England farm today calls for a
combination of zeal and tact that not all
possess. First, man must have a love
for any occupation to make a success of it,
and this is pre.eminently true of conduct
ing farm pro6tably. To love for the
work must be added a knowledge of
modem farm operations, much tact and a
tremendous capacity for hard work
With these requirements in stock we have
no doubt of The success of any one, if he
chooses a good piece of ground, no
matter how rough and unsightly it may
