There are evening joys at Kuhnville.
The colony has two canoes, the Half Close
Your Eyes and the Duck. Every evening
they carry artists up and down the Hacken-

lanterns are lighted and the artists sit
around and make merry. Every Sunday
there are several girl students from New
York to add soprano to the songs.

less your nearest neighbor is at least
half mile away. 1t doesn't pay to set
out nice young orchard and then let
it grow up to grass and weeds and then
turn in the stock to eat the grass. 1t
doesn't pay to grow the same crop on the
same land year after year; the natural
law is rotation or ruin. 1t doesn't pay to
hold a farm product for higher prices
when it will sell for enough to pay first
cost and reasonable profit. 1t doesn't
pay to be land poor-have more acres
than can be prof1tably used. 1t doesn't
pay to treat hired man as an inferior
or try to squeeze out Of him more than
is fair and right, for hired men have
souls and long memories. 1t doesn't pay
to keep rough, profane, vulgar hired
man around the place If you have
young boys; better boil your acres and
your business down and get along with
out hired man. 1t doesn't pay to be
indifferently content to do as well as
your grandfather did and do things his
old ways; the world has moved on. It
doesn't pay to try to make grainfield
out of meadow until you first get 1t
properly drained. It doesn't pay to keep
more stock than you can properly feed
and shelter. 1t doesn't pay to raise scrub
stock when it costs no more to raise

to be contented with smaller farm
