Mr.. Buckley, though city raised, is fast learning
the ways of the country and the secrets of how to
farm successfully. He was kind enough to show US
around his premises and also told us much about
his preparations for field planting.
When you look around on a busy afternoon at
Avalon Farm CHATS the name Mr.. Buckley has
given his place. you can easily imagine you are
viewing portion of the agricultural, live stock
and machinery departments of big country fair.
And things here are different It is not that Mr..
Buckley has tried to make them different, but that
he is well up with Improvements in agricultural inn
plements and other machinery that are calculated
to make farming easier and also greatly increase
profits We do not know how to tell you all about
it. You would have to see his farm to appreciate
its MANY conveniences and rapid growth as a
money maker.
There are horses, cows, sheep, hogs, chickens,
and nearly everything else to be found on a farm,
and all stock is cared for in a systematic way.
Nothing suffers for want of exercise, pure water
and good pasture. Also, nearly everything around
the house is done by power. A gasoline engine
saws the wood, grinds all the feed stuff, shells his
peas, pumps the water and, in fact, does nearly
everything but call the COWS home at night. It's a
big show to see that little engine hustle around
| Mi. Buckley has MADE Avalon Farm MS nome
for about five years. He explained that the first
three years were devoted to improving the place
and making crop experiments only. Last year he
tried to farm some. He did it. From 100 acres in
cultivation he cleared $1,000, and this after deduct
| ing all expenses, even taxes and interest This
isn't bad for hill land and st. Louis man. He is
! learning how to farm and directs his labor in an
intelligent way That's all there is to it. To-day
if Avalon Farm was isolated from the world Mr.
Bulkley and family could still easily live year in
and year out solely on its products-the same they
are enjoying every day.
