Tel me something about yourself" we

successes, and how you are fixed today"
We'll. l haven't much to tell, and 1 do
not feel that 1 have accomplished much,
certainly no more than lots OF my neigh
bors have; but my beginning was poor
enough. OF course the first thing 1 did
was to prospect the country q bit and then
buy a farm. l got 100 acres, although 1
ave added to II since an eighty. 1 broke
some land, put in some crop on a small
scale and then went in debt to get a little
start in the cattle business. l hadn't lived
here a year, before l made up my mind
that this was one Of the best stock coun-
tries in the world and after that 1 paid less
attention to farming and more attention to
stock raising. 1 raised cattle, hogs, horses
and poultry, and that is what 1 am doing
now. 1t isn't such hard work as blowing
and sowing and reaping and l think it is
a great deal more profitable"
but you do raise grain, corn and other
crops"
oh, yes, 1 raised 100 bushels OF corn
last year. Come out here and l will show
you now l cribbed it,"
We went with him to an adjoining field
in the rear OF a large shed, and following

ing hogs which were roofing and feeding

That Is the way l sell corn-put it in
pork"
DO you mind telling me how much you
made from your farm last year?'
Not in the least, My books show that
/ made something over $500. The big fel-
lows make a good deal more, OF course,
but I'm one of the small ones-such as you
find scores of. 1 cleared about $500 on my
cattle, $500 on my hogs, 500 on horses, Sl5C
on eggs and poultry, and sold nearly W.
bushels Of wheat and 800 bushels of oats.
am entirely out OF debt, have a pretty
good bank account, have built hat house
yonder, and these sheds and barns, and
think 1 can manage to get along the rest
OF my life even II 1 don't rustic a bit"
