LIFE ON THE FARM.

penses, including the wages of one
man, grain purchased, taxes, running
expenses, also interest on an invest
ment Of $1,000, amount to $I,Ioo
This leaves a net cash income above
all expenses of nearly $500 from the
farm.
This amount on the farm is more
than equal to twice the amount in the
village or city, and on the farm it is
sufficient for a very nice living. | do
not think this farmer is working to
earn and save money SO much as to
make the most of the privileges Of
farm life He lives in a good modern
house. The buildings are all first
class. The barn would be a better
place in which to live than many
houses I have seen. 1t is sided with
good pine and very nicely painted.
There is a perfectly tight floor in
the stable made of brick and cement.
There are water buckets in the stable,
and these are filled from a reservoir
that is filled by a windmill that pumps
the water from a spring into it. He
uses the very best modern tools, and
believes in having the best of every
thing. He grows all the large and
small fruits, SO there is large supply
for home use, and the vegetable gar
den is large, which, with the fruit,
milk, butter, cream and eggs from
the farm furnishes better living than
many city men can buy. He takes,
and think reads, the best of the lead
ing agricultural papers. He has the
advantages of free rural mail delivery,
telephone and railroad station near
by, also stores, schools and churches.
There is a little farming settlement OF
intelligent people here and good So
cial privileges. Here it would seem
is an opportunity of living an almost
ideal life if one is in a condition of
mind and body to rightly use and
make the most of these opportunities.
Surely life on a farm like this should
be more desirable than the strenuous
city life, and especially to the man
who has SO much of the right spirit
that he can get the most out of it.

es are simply toilers, through rain
or shine. and die with little left for
their families
My advice would be to this young
man, and all others like him, to take
a short course in agriculture at your
state college. Then get yourself to
the farm. Take off your coat and
get down to business, putting your
brains as we'll as muscle into it, and
you are, barring sickness or accident,
sure of success. If you study veteri-
nary science it means a lot of study,
attended with much outlay Of cash
for books and instruments. The col
-lege course is much like an excursion
on railroad to an exposition
The expenses when you get there are
greater than the passage money. Yes,
the veterinary is needed in many
places; but sometimes the pay for
his service does not come SO freely
The veterinarians pay, like that of
the physician, always has to come
from those who are suffering loss
by reason of sickness and death Your
employer is not always in financial
condition to meet your BILL and you
may have to wait, I can't say how
long All [ know is [ have person
ally had to wait, and in some cases I
am still waiting, after a quarter of
century has elapsed, and may have
to wait another quarter; yet the mon
ey was often earned at the midnight
hour, after several miles of travel on
dark night and over bad roads. 1t
is not, my boy, all gold that gilt
ters in veterinarians life. It is
work, work, work, as no farmer ever
works, or no success will follow, as
rule. Now do as you please 1t is
you who must decide for yourself.

Choosing a Profession.

A young man thinks he likes farm
ing, Of which he has some knowledge
and experience, but is advised to be
veterinarian.
A young man writes to the Trl-
bune Farmer, from Ohio, asking ad-
vice about choosing a profession
The editor Of the Veterinary depart
ment, DR.. c. D. ~Smead, answers it.
You will see that he calls farming a
profession, which is the same ground
which we have taken for years back
The article says:

Some of these thoughts come to the
government engineers as they ran
their lines of levels in the valley of
Salt river in Arizona, and it seemed
to them a proper task for the great
est nation on earth to restore once
more the oases Of verdure which the
desert had long ago obliterated.
During the last quarter of CEN
tury a crop producing area Of 1o,-
100000 acres, or another State of
Massachusetts, has been wrested
from the desert Irrigation canals
long enough to span the earth twice,
and representing an outlay of $780,
100000, have been built. Every year
this area returns a harvest valued at
more than $I5o,ooo,ooo and 2,ooo,-
900 people dwell in prosperity and
contentment where only short time
ago the wilderness reigned.
Uncle Sam is today the largest
owner of the great American desert,
no doubt because it was not consid-
cred worth stealing For many years
the sentiment has been growing
that the. government should make
habitable this vast empire which is
SO great potentially.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-02
Making Hay.

A correspondent, writing from Al
lamont to the South Florida Senti-
mel, says:
The farmers are all busy making
hay, and the present indications are
that there will be no Northern hay
shipped to this section of Orange
county during the next year. When
your correspondent settled at Alta
monte twenty three years ago he ask
ed the settlers why they did not make
their own hay instead of shipping it
in from the North. He received the
reply that stock would starve on hay
made from Our grasses (crab and
spur grass); that the sandspurs would
get under the tongues of the animals
and rot them out of their mouths
| doubted the statement and resolved
to try the experiment. The next
year [ had a crop of fine crab grass,
which I cut and cured, being fortu-
nate in having fine weather for the
purpose I filled my little barn full
of as bright and sweet hay as I ever
saw 1t soon became known what
| had done, and the farmers from
miles around came to see for them
selves the result of my experience
and went away convinced that hay
making in Florida could be made
a success. The result was that within
two years from that time there was
not sold in A1tamonte one bale of
imported hay where a thousand had
been used before.
1t was also said that other crops
and vegetables could not be success
fully raised; that the citrus fruits
were the only crop that would pay
and the result was that the farmers
devoted their entire time and energy
to building up the most beautiful or
ange groves in the world But one
night Jack Frost paid the State an
unwelcome visit which convinced the
farmers that single crop farming was
not safe investments that was
the beginning of Florida's adversity-
and also prosperity, as statistics will
show.
While the orange industry was not
abandoned throughout the State
far from it, as the estimated crop for
this year is about 100000 boxes,
and this is an off year All this is but
drop in the bucket as compared
with the immense field crops and
vegetable crops now being raised, and
it has been practically demonstrated
by experience and results that the
poor sandy land of Florida is far
more valuable for raising diversified
crops than the rich prairie lands of
the West, acre for acre. 1t is not the
poor sandy land alone that produces
such enormous results. 1t is the de-
lightful climate which makes it pos
sible for the farmers to produce re-
suits, and, last but by no means least,
it is the man behind the hoe and who
has the know-how.
