Redmond. Jan. 31.-One evening four
or Ave years ago a wealthy land owner
and stockman living in northern
Iowa town hitched up his best team
and drove to the station Of one OF the
railways that run thru the place. Thru
an apparent coincidence the section
foreman who had charge of that portion
Of the line was about to start for his
homo and the driver invited him to
get in and ride. AS they travelled along
the owner Of the horses said. HOW
would you like to drive a team like
this?" Now the section man was
German and there was no doubt OF the
kind of answer he would make of
course ne would very much like to drive
such splendid team WELL" said the
other, "there is a chance for you to
drive this very team every day In the
year." Then he explained that he want
ed a man and family to take charge OF
one Of his stock farms ION shares" one
to furnish the land and capital. the
other the necessary labor After some
preliminaries the section boss gave up
his railroad job and turned to farming.
According to the statement OF his part
ner his capital at the outset consisted
Of zone COW. fifteen chickens. and some
store debts" It is all different, how
ever, now, and unless indications are all
wrong 1t will not be many years more
until the ex-section foreman Will be
in position to buy farm Of his own.
In the same town, and few years
earlier than the time specified at the
beginning Of the article. a man was
conducting 10-cent delivery In q vain
effort to support in comfort wife and
rather numerous collection of boys and
girls. Finally he gave up and tried
clerl<ing in a store. That proving unsat-

raising corn and oats. Crops were pool'
in that section for the next season or
two and 1t is easy to imagine what
happened TO the man on his low, I'M

the tenant was called upon TO pay but

months ago he made substantial

on that stock farm. also some strict
economy and good management but
then It Is a long reach too. from several
hundred dollars of debt to the owner
ship of good Iowa farm.
Yet one other case of this kind that
occurred in the same locality is worthy
of general notice. A man lived with
his wife and two children in little
home in the town. He worked at most
anything that came along until thresh-
ing season, then he threshed. Made
considerable money but never had
any left when threshing time arrived.
The children grew up and the father
and mother grew older and older. Fin
ally it was decided to try the farm. and
at the age of 50 years that man rented
farm on the same plan as the two al
ready mentioned, tho from a different
landlord. He worked all alone and he
worked hard. Aat the end of seven
years he made public sale and return
ed to town. His share Of the sale pro-
ceeds was about $4,000. He had saved
something besides, and his income add
ed to what he picks up from an occas-
ional job of light work. enables him to
live In comfort
The account of these cases OF sue
cessful farming ventures is in no par
ticular exaggerated. One OF the in
terested men did not wish his name to
appear, and so all are withheld. 1t Is
possible that many instances OF failure
in like attempts might be cited from
the same locality. but these illustrate
what can be accomplished in this line
when the job is undertaken in the right
manner: and it doesn't seem to make
any difference so far as earlier exper-
fence is concerned; the section boss.
clerk and thresher won out in spite OF
previous conditions of servitude.'
