CAN THE CITY WOMAN WORKER
BE A FARMER? YES

ties that make for success, namely patience and
application for intensive methods and the ability to
practice small economies

her living in town will be able to produce farm
products; she has her choice of growing garden
stuff, fruit poultry, or bees.
"Most of these things can be done, like cooking by
recipe combined with hard work, and unlike city
work the woman farmer finds in these tasks that
she has Mother Nature for partner, who does her

Specialize!


One paramount idea transcribed the
whole meeting. Whatever one heard
II was the same. to wit: that in
farming, as In almost every other
pursuit of n livelihood these days.
one must specialize. Or II you do go
in for general farming you must util-
ize every blessed thing on the place
and do as many different thiags as
your strength and tho land vX al
low, 1t IN, therefore, obviouslVko More
economical of energy and time and
thought and expenditures to limit
yourself. for instance, to raising A
round OF Injuries that grow in n
succession of seasons--like straw
berries, asparagus, melons and mush .
rooms--or TO specialize In chickens or
pigs Cby the way, most every one is
going in for pigs these days: they
show their gratitude for good care
and attention with far better returns
than poultry or cows. in spite OF the
high price of eggs and milk, or
honey, or mushrooms, or violets, etc.

President Wilson is known as an
advocate OF thrift. In fact it will
be found that all successful men
have the instinct OF thrift in ono
way or another. Many Of the men
who are serving in the United
States Senate, Congress or the
Cabinet, are scif-made men. They
were poor, but they were thrifty
and poverty cannot keep thrifty
man down. Champ Clark, at the age
of ten years. went to live with a
farmer and paid for his board by
feeding live stoci: and cutting wood.

Given the same instinct of thrift
