we're thought to be over in the profession which for twenty years
rat had given him q decent city living, and that was about all.

men. Business would grow about the energetic enterprise Of . man
going up there with intelligent capacity to handle both the city end
and the country end"
The undeveloped opportunities for prosperity, il not wealth,
living about in "shiftess" rural neighborhoods are astonishing when
looked over with a practical eye. The reason why these neighbor-
mods arc shiftless is that Ill the energetic young men, and most Of
the drones as we'll, have been drawn away by the specous but false
promises Of the city.
This farm business idea offers no get-rich.quick inducements,
nor does it point the way 10 the promised land Of incidence and case.
II does assure a hcalthful, nstursl. and Independent existence, and !,
a permanency. A man never becomes superannusted at it.
