The first necessity In nature study Is
to become acquainted with some local
ity, say with a farm. it does not mat

near the city-the nearer the better,
provided there are trees, water, fences
and some seclusion. II your own cab
In a be in the middle Of such a spot,
that is ideal. for there Is no make be-
lleve when you buy a field OF a piece
of woods and settle down there to stay.
Nature respects you. You have taken
her into your confidence. She will take
you into hers, and In the course Of a
few seasons II you will limit the size
of your garden, you will begin to dis
cover what a multitude Of interesting
things come with the place that were
not mentioned in the deed. Owning a
farm. OF course, Is not necessary.
Sometimes I am quite convinced that
for pure and lasting Joy In nature one
should not possess an acre. Once you
have looked upon land of your own,
once you have trodden upon earth
that belongs to you. all your Sundays
will be spent looking and walking
there. The man In the Scriptures who
bought q field and lost his interest In
other pleasant things had a real case.-
