farm. The farm Offers him the oppor-
sunity to exercise his executive ability
By managing broad acres and herds
that number In the thousands II bis
taste runs to quality rather than guam
tiy Il offers him chances In the pure
bred stock business Tor the broadest
use Of bin money and talents. There II
no occupation more fascinating than
the molding Of living animals to make
them conform to an ideal Of perfec~
ton There b opportunity for long
continued study Of blood tines: there
are months and years Of anxious wait
ing TO rec the results of the union Of
certain families; there are moments Of
disappointment when an animal fails
to develop a. well as expected But
greatest Of all Is the JOY of success
when the breeders efforts are crowned
with an animal little nearer perfec-
tion than has been produced before.
The man who can see such an animal
march out of a crowded show ring
with the purple ribbon without feel
ing that At least In q measure be has
achieved success has ambitions that
are indeed hard TO satisfy. The pure
bred business has some pitfalls, but to
the man who enters II with good judg-
ment and an ambition TO succeed 1t
effers financial returns that can be ex-
ecetled In few other occupations.
To the young man starting without
capital the farm offers unequaled op-
poFtunities. The young man with 4
few friends and reputation for In
dustry and honesty tipds II easy to

Of course. But what Is risk to q
young man with strength and ambi-

to the young farmer they are an incen-

matter Of but few years. Buying the
farm itself is by no means impossible,
even in the most fertile sections of the
corn belt.
Hundreds Of farmers are looking for
managers for farms that vary In size
and equipment to suit the fancy Of
any one This line offers some OF the
creates, opportunities to the young
man without capital The salaries ut
first may seem small as compared with
some Of those offered In the city. Usu-
ally they include board and inciden-
tails. however There Is a better
chance TO lay up money on the farm
Al $50 month than in the city at
twice that amount For the man who
can make good the frst years salary

follow Most landowners are willing
to advance the salary a. fast W the
manager shows his ability. Better yet
they are willing TO intrust more Of the
responsibility to his hands and to give
him more capital 80 that he can
achieve greater results. In most cases
after q man has shown what he Is
worth 1t Is easy for him to get share
Of the net profits 10 addition 10 his
salary. In many cases It Is easy to get
in on . partnership basis In either
case the manager is a. independent as

for financial success are nearly as
