Waiting For The End.
(Texas Farm and Ranch.)

One of the advantages OF farm
life that is not fully appreciated IS
that it furnishes a home when old
ago and infirmity renders one in
competent ITO earn his bread by
the sweat of his brow" When the
shadows of old are closing around
u. and the ambitious OF youth have
taken their fight, there is con-
ISOLATION to know that ono has a
home and a competence on the
farm.
There is a feeling of security IN
owning a good farm. Financial
panics have little terror for the
man who produces his living at
home. He may not bscome veal

management with fortune, but
he feels the security Of his invest
ment in good farming lands and

equipment and continue ITO reap
as he has sown."
The manager who must give ur
active operations because of i'll
health or declining years can re-
tain his home among his friend.
