FARMING FOR PROFIT.

The problem Of how to get rich by
farming mas been successfully worked
out by Francis Sesticr of Des Moines
| Ia
| The young man has made $1S.OUt
| worth of improvements on Il thirty-tW.
acre farm in the last seven years anC
paid for it from the products Of the
soil.
Sestier's father. Il stonecutter, Went
construction Of the state capitol build
ing He purchased the thirty-two
acres within sight of the golden dome
Of the statchouse he had helped to con
struct
The elder Sestier worked along to
make living and pay for his acres
Seven years ago he died, and the young
man took charge.
Today Francis Sestier has what is
claimed to be the best improved truck
farm west of the Mississippi.
Among the permanent Improvements
made since 1891 are an $1,000 resi-.
dence with a modern cold storage plant
in the basement and steanr pump
ing plant that draws water from the
Des Moines river, half a mile away,
and lifts 1t 14J feet into an immense
reservoir. He has also built eight
greenhouses
The water may be used for irriga-
ton If needed.
The statement that Mr. Sestier has
made his farm yield Il gross income of
$500 to $500 per acre reads like the
advertisement Of land agent in ex-
plotting the regions that are alleged
to flow with milk and honey, but it is
true
1t goes without saying that he is an
unusual manager
One of his favOrite crops is toma-
toes. He introduced the method of
raising tomatoes on poles. He plants
about 5000 vines to the acre and gets
a yield of $50 bushels Of fine fruit that
commands the highest market price
In one year Mr.. Sestier has made as
much as $500 on lettuce alone.
This young man has never attended
an agricultural college or taken
course in farming, but he reads agri-
cultural papers closely.
OF course he has had the advantage
of a near market for his produce and
during all the seven years he has paid
out only 50 cents per acre for fertili-
zers-i. e., SIG in seven years. The soil
Is almost as rich now as when it was
virgin
1t pays to farm--if you know how.
The Kentucky farm on which Lin
coin was born is known as the farm
that raised man. That is distinc-
ton enough. It never raised much in
the way of crops.
Successful farming means rich soil,
Intensive methods rotation Of crops
and the raising of high priced stuff.

New England Is Never LOST

Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Vir-
ginia says bitter things about New Eng
land in the tariff controversy, and openly
declares that this section controls the
government. Not the first time, surely

could set New England down in the
midst of the Middle West and she would
be lost" All, senator, there is where
you begin your trip, New England has
been set down in the midst of the Middle
West many and many time since the
days when the Middle West was simply a
range for Indians and a wallowng place
for buffaloes, and she has never been
lost yet. She has been set down there in
the persons of her children and her chill
dren's children to the third generation
and she was not lost. She made the Mid
die West, senator, and set it up in bust
ness. She sent specimens of her best
brains and blood and Drawn there for
years and years and they developed the
country and transplanted for its foundg-
tons the grand old principles of civil
liberty and high minded ideals of society
that were learned back in the old New
England town meeting. With the gift of
some magic that is only possessed by The
good things that must not be permitted
to perish, old Mother New England has
multiplied herself many times in her
children, and there is more and better
left than has ever yet been weaned.
You cannot set New England down
anywhere and lose her, senator. You
can set her down and run away. Bnt
every place where she is set down she
makes her own and you will all be glad
to wander back to see her and feast on
her bounties, material and political on
Thanksgiving day. If New England con.
trolls the government, it is because she
has the brains to do it with. No, it is
not New England that is "lost," senator.
