No Pay Day in Farming.

Chicago. who is yearning to get onto
the farm. Her husband isxan engineer
on the Michigan Central railway and
they have five children. The Wife is
80 years old, and the husband a few
years older. The writer Of the letter
adds that she was boFn and raised on
q Virginia farm and that, as she looks
back. those were the happiest days Of
her life.
In replying to this letter. Mr.. quick
says, among other things:
How can /, how a anyone, plan
out a way for these people to get q
a railway engineer, which is a pretty
good income for working, people. Could
they ever save enough to buy a farm
by going into the country and working
for wages? I wish I could say they
could, but / dare not.
I'm the first place. it takes more than

but other things are also essential.
