REPLY TO H. E. PLUMB, FARMER
BY j. W. DREW, MECHANIC.

Dear Sir: 70 farm successfully at he
present time requires better talent in
every particular than is possessed by
the preside Of the United States or
am Of his cabinet. or the managers Of
the great railroad systems, viz. New
York Central. Pennsylvania railroad.
New York. New Haven & Hart ford
railroad, Boston and Maine or any
manufacturing plant, for all these Ell
terpriSeS have a host of subordinate S
who know the business us well or bet
ter than the principals. Now a farmer
must have all qualities Of all these
companies of men and. more. He has
got to be an extra good executive
buyer seller. planner. doctor. chemist.
engineer. bonkkecper and carpenter.
He has got to have experience and
good judgement and the inclination
and ability to go ahead and say "Comc
on boys" We now call your attention
to some of your fellow tOWnSinen:
Henry Edwards. Ben jamin IIurd. Fred
Wheeler, Birdseye Sherman. Seth Hill
Of Trunlbu!l and would say these men
are getting in spot cash, more money
in 4 year than amy poSseSSOr Of the
farms they are on took in in 10 years.
and this Will hold good for the three
general ions preceding them. It must
be patent t. any reader that the man
ufact urCS require an immense poDula-
Iation and they are all consumers and
that three -fUurths Of the cost Of goods
| is for labor. 1t does not matter how
the railroads. bring farm products
from othcr parts. the freight has IL
be paid and that is HIgond margin to
the farmers here. We would now say
these men named have no difficulty in
producing crops that would paralNzc
any Of the former owners. simply be
cause they never had the stock. ui;!
not know hJW to keep it, did not
