average net income is $500 a year. He
has very comfortable house. To rent
such house in the city and live as
well there as he and his family do on

TWO OF THE MARES THAT HELPED TO PAY
FOR A FARM.
would all sell for 500 an acre. Add
to this his cattle and horses and ma
chinery and few incidentals, such as
bank stock and the like. and he has
a fortune approximating $4,000,O00.
This has all been made in farming.
Corn has been his speciality, and it has
always been marketed in the form of
cattle. he has always used the most
modern machinery and the best equip
ment that money can buy. It has been
the same with help. His foremen are
men who can get results. He furnishes
them with automobiles to take them
from farm to farm because he has
found that it pays in the. time saved.
He attributes his success to close per-
sonal attention and the application of
business methods to farming.
Another man who has made millions
I'm farming is Colonel James M. Smith
of Georgia. Colonel Smith started
raising corn aQd cotton on a rundown
quarter section in Oglethorpe county
soon after the war. The first year he
lost $500. Last year his net profits
were 100000. In the meantime his
farm has increased to $4,000 acres
Colonel Smith was one Of the first men
to build .cottonseed oil mills and make
profit from what formerly had been
waste product. His farm was TWEEN.
ty-five miles from the nearest railroad,
but he solved the problem by building
a railroad Of his own. He has always
been a personal friend of all his men.
white and black alike. He has pro-
vided well equipped schools for both
the negro and the white children of his
employees. Unlike David Rankin, who
never had even common school edu-
cation, Colonel Smith Is college grad
uate. He learned to handle men in
the army. and he applied the same Or
ganization to his farm work with
great results. -
Colonel Smiths success has demon
strated what can be done on the farm
land of the south. One Of his 200
acre farms year ago yielded 1890
bushels of wheat and 200 bales Of cot
ton. The wheat sold for 81 a bushel
and the cotton for $50 bale. making
a total income from the farm Of $14.-
800. After taking out the expenses
there was a net profit of $51 an acre.
This might we'll make even Missts-
sippi valley farmer envious.
The west has been heralded as the
land OF opportunity. In the early days,
when land could be had almost for the
asking and the cattle business was at
/ its best, a young man Of the name Of
. Henry Miller started out TO make q
+ fortune In the ranch business. Today
he is worth $20OOO,0OO. He once an.
nounced that he hoped some day to
own the whole state Of California. In
this he did not succeed. although his
holdings in California amount to COO.
900 acres. j He also has large tracts
Of land IN Nevada and Oregon. nd :
The ranch business Is on the decline
IN the west. and what was once one
mans cattle ranch Is now being cut
up to- make farms for the hundreds
OF thousands Of land hungry settlers
who are pouring into what Is still
'the land Of opportunity" About
kwenty years ago an Iowa farmer sold
half section Of land, paid his debts
and. with seven or, eight Thousand
dollars in cash. a wife and four chill
dren. started for Arizona. He located
In the Salt river valley, bought q.

on Lady Day, the A~nnunciation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
While the residence has been some
what E~2oderGized BY the building Of
a veranda and other minor changes,
the structure retains many reminders
of the perilous times. The hand-hewn
timbers are visible, and there is pre-.
served the strong door which opened
into the south end Of the house,
against the casing of which a British
officer stood when a Yankee from the
hill on the south bank Of White Creek
picked him off with his gun. The
door is in a good start of preservation,
and on it is the massive old lock
which in early days would have prov
en- an obstruction to a person seeking
to unlawfully enter the building, but
TO the modern house breaker it would
be as a toy. The lock is ten inches
long by FIVE and a half inches wide
and one and a half inches thick. The
original brass key, six inches in
length, is still In position to shoot the
bolt.
In the days which tried mems
souls" the building was used as a
postofice, and an inn, before 1t be-
came the headquarters for the Brit
ish officers under Colonel Baum. In
those days each inn and tavern keep
er was required to enter into recogni-
zance to the people of the state of
New York in the sum of $50, not to
keep a d~isorderly house or suffer any
cock-ighting, gaming or playing with
cards or dice, or keep any billiard
table or other gaming table or shuttle
board within it. In regard to the sell.

made for the sale Of metheglin, cur

by the inn-keepers. At each tavern
