dance in Rural Districts.

churches, as well, should be conserved
and familiar with the problems of the
farmer. Reasons for this are given in
the report of survey just completed
by c. ]. Galpin, secretary of the Wis.
consin Country Life conference.
This survey was made for the pur.
pose of finding ways of improving and
meeting the needs of the rural and
small town church. The churches of
a representative denomination in every
state in the union were canvassed and
it is believed that the results obtained
will aid materially in meeting the
needs of country parishes.
The surveyors found that in the
country parishes ninety-five out of ev
cry 100 members of the churches and
congregations came from farm homes
In the churches or hamlets, little cen
tiers of from fifty to $50 population
with only one church, seventy-fve out
of hundred are farmers.

continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work

up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set NJ

that homesteading as moneymaking
proposition was better than farming
] did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
of fact l had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept US
in groceries and more, we had now
four mich cows, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain.

not see all that; had the moving
fever and decided to SELL
set the price on the land at $4,000
cash. / could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so came
down until finally sold for $1,4O0.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have a homestead in Mon.
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about s50e
worth of honest debts.
True, we have a half section in
place of quarter. but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work 1t.
In summarizing 1t all up see where
made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as we were before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplat-
ing change Of location is to think
twice before you act, and il your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick 1t
clean. '"-Advertisement.
