We have often wished that with the
experience accumulated since we could
try the experiment once more Of open
ing up new farm ON the frontier We
did it once years ago and can now real
lie just what a lot Of blunders and mis-
takes were made; for instance, it was
fifty miles to a railroad and a grain
market and just because everybody
else did so we broke up acres ana acres
Of land and raised wheat to haul fifty
miles to sell, when if we had had any
sense at all nothing but live stock
would have been produced on the farm,
buyers for which would come to the
farm. The mania to raise grain, wheat
particularly, seems to be inseparable
from the first settlement OF amy new
country, when II man would simply
raise what he needed for his own use
and turn hts attention wholly to cattle
be could make q living ten times as
easy and Al / much smaller expense.
The fact should BE remembered by any
man loeatins IN a new farm far a.
moved froi1 railway facilities. We

The Example OF Pagan,pt.

A story is told Of how Paganini once
came into the concert room, took the
violin and touched the strings. First
one string broke, and smile went
round the room; then another string
broke. and there was more audible ex-
preston of mockery. When a third
string broke, many people laughed out.

mini stood forth with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the PEG
pie ceased to smile, but listened spell

THE TEN ACRE FAnM.

Any man who knows how can make
q vastly better living of a ten acre
farm situated lear some good town
than he can to work at any Of the ordi-
nary trades which win bring him In a
daily income of from 50 to SO per day.
You see, when man is so fixed that
he can keep COW, two or three pigs
seventy-five hens, have first class
garden and small fruit plantation he
has got more than half Of the living
for his family in sight right on his
place, saying nothing about what he
may be able to sell from it In the way
Of surplus products. "a good deal Of
money can be extracted from small
piece Of land when one goes the right
way to work For instance, each
square rod Of well kept asparagus
bed will give return of not less than
$4, while hundred lunches Of celery
can be raised on the square rod of
ground which would sell In any mar
ket for nearly as much. The hens
should pay the grocery bill, the COW
furnish all the milk and butter needed,
while the pigs will fill the lard jar
and the meat barrel. We often won
der why so many smart men are con-
tent to work all their lives long for
some other man, using about all their
wages up In living expenses, when
they might be Independent, be their
own boss and live on the top shelf by
working ten acre farm.
