A poor man with family, who moves

his living out of the soil, will be con.

his main occupation will be feeding

mouths to feed, the more his occupa-
ton. But if he has the hustle and the
selfdenial, in a few years, he Will have
something to feed besides children's
mouths. He will have bunch of cat
tie providing milk, cheese, butter and
cream. A flock of hens that pay the
grocery bill. A piece of fortified

size and variety than in the older
states. At the end of five years, he
