HOW MucH MAY HE oo IN pEsra

not a simple one. as a whole lot de-
pends on the land he proposes to buy,
what his previous experience with
farm work has been, hut more than all
else upon the kind OF fellow this young
man is and the stu6 he's made Of. II
he has the right qualities-including
industry thrift, perseverance, and good
health-and has a strong and sensible
wife, who is willing 20 share with him
the hard work and economies incident
to carving out farm home. it would
seem not beyond reasoD4 for him 20
assume an Indebtedness OF from $4,000
to $4,000. In one case which cam,

today be owns a hne 200 acre farm
free from incumbraDce. This success
did not come by chance. II was the
result Of hard work. an exercise OF
thrift and brains, and It goes without
saying that during haying and harvest
he didn't spend his time loadng around
pool rooms and saloone. Another in
stance Of which we read the other day
was Of q young fellow who went into
debt $4,000 on the purchase Of 100
acres He is following the safest pos,
Eible course to pay for his farm By
going into the dairy business. a spe-
cialty being made Of a milk route. This
man is a German by birth. a hard
worker, pleasant and agreeable IN
manner and calculates that he win
have his farm paid for in about ten
year. provided no unforeseen trouble
overtakes him. Many a young man
would not be justified in assuming as
large an Indebtedness as this. but he
could tackle smaller proposition. give
il intensive cultivation and secure al
most as large returns. Land cannot
be bought so cheaply today as twenty
or ten years ago. but this IS far from
saying that there are not lots Of fine
chances along the line OF securing a
farm OF onSs own for the man who
has perseverance and will 10 succeed.
