stock Will insist that breeding animals

shall be free from tuberculosis infec-
ton. If the owner is not willing 10

A LIVING FROM ONE ACRE.

The statement is frequently made
that n family, industrious and econom-
fcal. can secure a good living off four
or five acres Of land. a recent issue
OF an eastern periodical tells a story
better than this-how woman sup
ported herself and two children on the
proceeds of one acre. While the case
may be exceptional. It is at the same
time interesting and suggests solu.
tion for much OF the worst type OF
poverty from which folks I'm the con
gested districts I'm the large cities are
suffering. The woman I'm question
went In debt for the acre OF ground.
the only profit giving fixtures thereon
being twelve currant bushes and thir-
~ stands of bees. With borrowed
money she secured FIVE ducks and one
drake. setting OF Wyandotte eggs
and six pairs of pigeons She has
lived on the place four years, and last
year from n quarter OF an acre de-
voted TO poultry over 1000 ducks were
sold at two and three months old and
400 pounds OF feathers. On the rest
of the acre there are now GOO currant
bushes. 30 raspberry bushes. 100
White Wyandotte chickens. 81 White
Holland turkeys. co pairs of pigeons
and 30 stands OF bees. The bees were
the Increase from the original stands
secured with the place, the currants
from cuttings taken from the FIRST
bushes and the chickens from the first
setting OF eggs. From the pigeons
400 squads were sold, besides the stock
left ON hand. The case related simply
shows what can be done where de-
termination is coupled with purpose
TO make the most OF ones opportuni
ties. 1t also furnishes proof OF the
TACT that in the vast majority OF cases
OF poverty and restitution the root OF
the difficulty lies not so much in the
environment and opportunity as I'm the
individual himself and his wasteful or
