SUCCESS OF A WOMAN
MADE COMFORTABLE LIVING ON
A SMALL PLACE.
Great Secret ls to Start With Poultry,
Garden and Berry Fruits, Gradu-
ally Increasing Stock and
Crop Operations.

tBy KATE ST. MAUR- Copyright. 1s14)
Can family make a comfortable
living on a small farm?
Yes, most emphatically yes, II they
possess ordinary common sense and
industry. My own personal expert
ence is an undeniable demonstration
Of that fact. started on a rented
place with really no capital, as busi-
ness disaster had swallowed up all
our savings, so that l know what 1t
is to commence at the very bottom of
the ladder.
The place we found was an old
fashioned homestead There were two
large barns. corncrib, Toulouse and
several odd sheds. 1t was really a
farm of $50 acres, but the owner let
us have the house and twelve acres,
including the orchard, for SIS month.
on a three years lease. with the privi-
lege of taking over the additional 16S
acres at any time during our tenancy
for an additional $S a month, with the
option of purchase.
Stock had to be bought in small lots,
as l saved money from our living ex-
penses at fret. So | bought few
old hens-broody ladies that wanted to
set-and raised 1iS chickens the first
summer. The old hens had cost $40;
extra eggs for setting, $5; feed, 81.
And on the credit side there were 80
chickens sold as broilers, which
brought s22. IS young pullets kept
for stock and all the eggs we wanted
for our own table. From a trio Of
ducks bought early In the spring l
sold 16 young ones when nine weeks
old for $792. In November of the
same year 80 more were sold and IL
exact cost of feeding because no sep
arate account was kept, but certainly
$40 would cover 1t. The old birds
cost $3.50, 80 the profit on the invest
ment amounted to nearly $50.
The apple orchard was in very
realized $3.50 from sales in the fall,
and our vegetable garden had supplied
our own needs and furnished boun-
tiful supply for pickling. preserving
and canning for winter. Having bal
ance on the right side Of the ledger.
we built a new chicken house and
bought COW. The place was entirely
self-supporting by the eighteenth
month. and from that time on stock
grew SO rapidly that 1t seemed ad
visable to take on the rest of the land
and raise all our own feed for the
, stock.
The great secret in starting on a
small place is, | think. to commence
with poultry. garden and berry fruits
and gradually increase stock and crop

rience. makes growth feasible.

MOT to be quite out of the scheme OF
~ things In the world Of styles para
soils have added unto themselves
decorations OF ribbon and furbelows Of
chiffon and flowers as we'll.
Plain white silk parasols are deco
rated with flowered Dresden ribbons
put on In a number Of different ways.
Strips Of 1t are applied to the silk
lengthwise and trimmed of to fit In
about the top. This arrangement is
managed usually by applying the rib
bon before the cover is stretched on
the frame. But separate cover may
be made Of light weight figured rib
bon and placed over the plain silk
cover. In this case the ribbon Is
caught down to the cover with hand
sewing.
The most popular method OF ap-
plying fancy ribbons to parasols ia
that shown in the picture presented
here. The ribbon is applied in the
form Of ruffie with no extra fullness
at the lower edge. 1t is tackled to the
ribs with tied stitches that are care.

upper edge is gathered with an over

stitches to the covering.
Black velvet ribbon is great IA

on as a plain border or with some
fullness as a rufie. like that which
