Peddler to Peach King.

Down in the State of Georgia they
have peach orchards where one can
walk a mile in a straight line and not
get beyond the end of a row of peach
trees. After the Civil War any n
could go through the same country
and see nothing 'but cornfields. Now
more peaches are produced on the
Georgia soil than in any other portion
of the United States, with the possible
exception of California. This revolu-
ton in horticulture was bro%ughtabout
by a Connecticut Yankee. J. H. Hale
as a boy began his start in life by
carrying fruit and truck in baskets to
Hartford, Conn.,, and selling it from
house to house. He finally accumu-
lated enough money to plant a little
orchard Of his OWE in the suburbs Of
Hartford on ground that people said
was unfit for any crop. Hale thought
differently. and when his orchard
grew from an acre to over a hundred
acres ana his income from the
peaches to thousands of dollars a
year, they realized that they. had
been observation-disclosures.

vate myself. It is not hard work; 1t
just gives one good outdoor exercise.
Sometimes I go to. other farms and
cook during harvest, clearing $50,
and again I spend a couple of weeks
in the hop fields, which gives me a
little change, and adds from $40 to
$50 to my earnings.
At the end Of eight years I had
$500 in money, and a fine worth
more than 500. Last fall I leased
a $50 acre farm for five years at a
rental of $3.50 q year cash, and L
bought 1877 head of sheep, which I
added to the t~hirty-three I already
owned, and put them on the place.
1 have a man running the farm on
shares. T will get one-third of all the
grain and hay raised on seventy acres,
but the sheep I will look after myself.
At the end of five years I expect to
have $4,000 in my own right and to
do very little work myself. I think
any country girl who will save like
this in the beginning and strike out
ION Independent lines can make a
good, honest living, and not work al
the time, either.--C. E. B., in Wom-
