I know an enterprising woman who

money I know another who hns

widow with five children sad small
peach farm covered well with good
healthy mortgage. put her strength
and good sense to this cherries out

are in their own homes, and she stils

Quality rather than quantity to-day
plays an important part In the sue
cess and profit of market gardening.
as one can command a better price
for a perfect product attractively pre-
sented than great quantity which
does not leave one time carefully to
prepare for market, and so must be
sold at the lowest price.
This, too, Is another point in which
women are more apt to succeed than
men as market gardeners-the appre-
citation of necessity Of attractiveness
of ones produce. First, cleanliness
is very important; then II the vege-
tables are of uniform size and punched
or tied In bundles OF careful exactness
and put into baskets or boxes In reg

practical business ideas or must post
herself fully on the actual value Of
labor, machinery and materials and
necessary expenses of carrying on the
work of farm; for regret to say
that men are apt to presume upon
her ignorance in such matters and
her purse pays the penalty
Then, too, no woman will succeed
In farming who undertakes the work
solely from a sense of duty or as a
last resort. She must have certain
love or taste for the life or its bur-
dens will prove most irksome and the
result be very unsatisfactory. With
love Of nature, of animals and free
dom of outdoor life, with determine
ton and perseverance and willing
ness to study agriculture with the
same thoroughness one would any
other study, there is every chance for
women to achieve a pronounced and
enviable success as farmers and have
opened to them the greatest blessings
and pleasures God has put into life.
