SINAI PLACE
orsat Successes Of -Four Acre Farm
Managed By . Woman.


Successful women farmers are mol
I longer 9 novelty, numbers Of them
being found In all sections of the coun-
try. Possibly the smallest farm that|
has provided living for its owner is
carried on by Mrs Jane g. Barrow oil
Connecticut. This energetic lady has
succeeded in obtaining a living for
herself and two children on the profits
of four acre farm, sending the chill
dren to school meanwhile.
r The enterprise was started without
capital seven years ago, Mrs. Barrowl
being forced to incur debt to pay for
groceries and supplies until the farm
returns began to come in. Bees, small
fruits and poultry were the founda-
ton. Only one acre of the four was
suitable for planting, and this acre has
really brought in most of the income
by means of a system of intensive
farming which is remarkable, to say
the least. One fourth of this one acre
was devoted to poultry, and last year
1000 ducks were raised and sold at
weight of four pounds each when be-
tween three and four months old. The
feather crop alone amounted to 400
pounds. .".
On this acre of t1llable land, besides
the ducks, We're 100 fowls, "a turkeys,
go pairs Of pigeons and Is stands of
bees. Pigeons were a profitable spe-
cialty, about 400 pairs Of squads hav-
ing been sold. Ducks, however, are
considered more profitable than pi-
geons, and Mrs. Barrow thinks of dis
posing Of the pigeons and increasing
the duck area. The turkeys also pay
We'll. The white variety Is kept be-
cause the feathers are more valuable.
The birds are sold during the holiday
season and, being especially we'll fat
tened, bring the very highest prices.
The bees are an excellent Investment,
and Mrs. Barrow considers the work
pleasant and suitable for woman.
Bees pick up their living in the sum-
mer, but receive some extra feeding In
winter.
OF course the large supplies Of food
needed for the poultry are not raised
on the farm. They are bought outside
at considerable expense. Mrs. Barrow
hesitates to buy more land, having
made such success on a small area.
She Is firmly Of the opinion that cona-
mon mistake made by women who
take up farming is to begin on too
large scale.

OF the wild fruits few are more de-
l1cious than elderberries. Our fore
mothers, who had to depend upon the
Wild fruits alone when the country
was new, learned many arts that seem
almost forgotten In these later days.
and one Of them was the use of elder
berries They gathered them, stem
med, washed and packed them in deep
earthen jars until within three inches
Of the top and then filed the jar with
Orleans mo]asses. The berries kept in
this way, too, and made delicious pies
through the long, bleak winter, when
good things were scarce. Another way
which some Of us remember, was to
dry them in the sun, and this. too. gave
many an appetizing dish that other
wise would have been forever lacking |
