When Farming Pays.

There is a great deal said these days
about back to the land and back to the
farm, and all that sort of thing
Very many books, pamphlets, maya
zines and Newspaper articles are writ
ten about it, forming an endless
variety of the grave, gay and grotes
que. This published matter makes it
look very attractive, and the city
forgets that all hills are green far
away. 1t is unquestionably true that
life in the country has not only its
charms and attractions in purely
ornamental and pleasurable way, but
that as we'll it affords the opportunity
to get a good living, which many
would find more satisfactory than
living in the city with its crowded
quarters, high prices, discomforts and
inconvenience. to say nothing of the
healthfulness Of outdoor life. There
are thousands of men in the city who
would be q great deal better off if
they went out into the country and
took a little land and titled it. It
would be better for them and fol- their
families. 1t does not follow, however,
that this is true in every case
It requires just as much industry
and ability to run a farm successfully
as it does to be clerk in the store or
to occupy any Of the subordinate
/ positions in great city Very CON
siderable danger lies in the alIuring
statements printed and widely circu
lated about the beauty and the advan
tages Of life in the country. The
beauties may be there all right
enough. but the advantages are only
for those who know how to avail
themselves of the opportunities. Big
crops do not come to those who plant
the seeds in the wrong place and who
cultivate incorrectly. The soil yields
a living only to those who know how
to handle it. A great deal can be
learned from books on these subjects
and the agricultural schools and
colleges springing up all over this
country and Canada are doing a good
work, but theory must be supplement-
ed by practice If it is to prove profit
able. Poultry raising for example,
looks easy There is always a market
for these products and yet thousands
have tried it and failed. On the
other hand there are many who have
made success of it, because they
have gone about it intelligently, and
have given it devoted time and
attention. Everything is easy to
those who know how, but the difficulty
is to acquire this information in
working quantities. The country
offers fine field for endeavor, and for
profit, too, and gardening and farming
are an art, science and a business just
as much as any other vocation. =
