We need not ask you to point

grafton has gone beyond those
estates. Land is too high there
for large profits, and men with
moderate means cannot buy at
all. They have pushed across the

there are fewer such croakers

The desire of most men is to
better their condition financially
and tot build for themselves a
home where they can spend their
declining days in comfort. With
this comes a desire to help. in a
measure, those who are a part of
the household, and to be able to
see them start on life's journey
in way that comfort and sue
cess will follow.
Now the question comes, How
can | accomplish this?" BY what
occupation or plan can | get the
most pleasure in Iife''and at the
same time accumulate property,
have plenty for advanced years
and provide for my family? If
you will carefully look into the
occupation of men, study the sur
roundings of each, you will at
once conclude, and wisely, too,
that the landowner, the farmer,
is the most independent, and ac-
cording to statistics, shows the
least percentage Of failures.
