Plenty Of Fruit in Sight.

The boys have made arrangements also
to pick red raspberries on shares, and
the country is full of blackberries. which
may be had for the picking. Our dam
son and pear trees are well loaded with
fruit, and there promises to be fair
crop of sooseberries and currants. Later
on there will be many bushels of apples
from our own trees for making apple
butter. and the owner of an orchard has
offered her as many bushels more as she
wants at a merely nominal price. on
condition that we haul them from the
orchard. The apples are not quite of a
quality for shipping, but will make
good apple butter.
1t will be seen, therefore. that Jane
will be able to keep her home cannery
quantity of vegetables have to turn over
to her. 1t looks as if ] will be able
to sell all surplus vegetables to the
basket trade. But she Will experiment
with a few cans Of each. and If the
operation is success next year I'll
make a bigger garden and grow both
for the basket trade and for canning.
The more experience ! gain the more
convinced / become that l could make a
living on my eight acres. but caution
whispers that | had better hang on 10 my
government salary. With certain kinds
of intensive farming eight acres is as
much as one man can handle to ad-
vantage. but for the kind of farming
would want to do more land is necessary.
In order to make a small acreage pro-
duce an income equal to a government
salary a man would need be all expert
market gardener. and market gardening.
I reckon, is just about the hardest sort
of farm work there is. 1t means fierce
drive. up before daylight and to bed at
dark during the growing season, with
almost nothing to do the rest of the year
I'd rather string the work out through
the year. and not have it rush me so
when the sun is hot.

Still Afraid of Chickens.

OF course, there are chickens. Eight
acres is enough ground for any one-man
poultry farm. but l can't quite see my
way clear to putting all my eggs into an
egg basket. The magazine articles you
read and the literature put out by people
who have incubators and breeding stock
and Matching eggs for sale paint beauti-
ful pictures Of an easy road to wealth.
but il it is all as easy and certain as they
picture 1t, why do SO many people fail
in the poultry business and why does
the price of poultry and eggs continue to
climb skyward? / said when We first
discussed the project Of raising chickens
on commercial scale that / believed
there was an Ethiopian somewhere in
the poultry woodpile. and am more con-
WINGED thans ever that the dusky gentle
man is lurking there. I don't say that
have definitely found him, but since
March 1 last we certainly have discovered
evidences of his presence.
No doubt a good many Of our expen-
sive failures were due to inexperience,
but we are people of average intelh-
gence and we followed as closely as we
could the directions set forth by ex-
perts who are supposed to know tho
business from A to 2. We may do bet
ter next year, but 1t is certain II we had
attempted to go into the poultry business
on a large scale with limited capital We
would have gone broke months before
we had any income to speak o.. Ny ad-
