THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY.
The Kind of Farming Done by
 the Haflick Brothers.

The old idea that has prevail
 ed among the people who have followed farming in the old easy going way in this country that there is only living to be ob- tained by the avenues open to farm life is going out and it is beginning to dawn upon many that there is not only a good living offered our industrious farmers, but there is money to be made at the business.
 Sunday afternoon last was spent very pleasantly and profit ably by our scribe at the home of Clarence and Charles HafliclS, one and a half miles east of'town, and no flattery at all is intended when we remark that this vicinity was largely the gainer when these two industrious gentlemen de- cided to locate among us.
 Although they moved here but a little more than half year ago and took charge of one of the worst neglected places to be found in the whole country, there IS now scarcely a farm to be found that presents more evidence of contentment and prosperity than theirs.
 In addition to building up many waste portions of their farm, they have thoroughly remodled their residence and put everything in order for a delightful country home.
 But this is only small part of what they have accomplished. The gentle grunt of about forty healthy pigs may be heard about the place, pair of sleek colts may be seen gambling in the pasture, three good brood mares are lending them double service in producing both a crop of feed and crop ofcolts; two or three oood cows furnish them surplus of milk for the pigs and butter for the market, while the calves are growing into money that practically costs nothing.
 While their crop of feed, consisting of the usual amount of corn and oats, is coming on with promise of abundant yield, they have gone the old-timer three or four better by planting a good acreage of sorghum cane for hay, a big lot of peas and kaffir corn and sundry other things that are indispensable to the successful stock raiser.
 Instead of setting down and finding fault with the country and it's people, the Haflick boys have gone to work and done something, and there is nothing on earth that can keep them from getting rich if they keep bending their ener- gies in the direction they have started. They have not taken up the mode of farming they have employed at random, but have profited by many sugges- tions they have read in their home papers of which they are substantial patrons. In addi- ton to these upon their reading table may be found four or five of the best agricultural and hor- ticultural papers published; and thus they are enabled to direct their efforts upon lines recom- mended by scientific experience, making success assured.
 As soon as they have properly prepared their land the Hafllcks will begin planting an orchard and will go about fruit raising in the latest approved style; but they will hold fast to farming and stock raising also, for the actual dollars they have already in sight by their work since they have come to the country, has con- vinced them thoroughly that there is money in this sort of bus mess.
 In addition to finding farming pleasant and profitable here, the 3 Haflicks also find good health fo 4Lo,ooolvoC op6 fo,piliaC and f
