WHAT A FARMERS BOY
CAN Do
Remarkable Accomplishments of
Young Arnold Amen in
Raising Calves.

Starting in the calf business with a
capital Of only s11 and increasing his
capital to a yearling heifer worth $40
and s27 in cash in two years is the
accomplishment of Arnold Amen, the
7-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. d.
Amen, living southwest of town, and
demonstrates what real live, ener-
getic boy can do.
Young Amen was only five years
old when he started in the calf busi-
ness. He bought a calf with the
money May 25, 1915. In October of
that year he sold it for s25. With his
increased capital he bought another
calf Last May he sold out for S45.
Then he bought heifer for $40 and
in March of this year sold it for s67.
A few weeks ago ne invested
$40 in a yearling heifer, which he
still owns and has s27 in cash to the
good.
OF course, Arnold had the benefit
of the experience and advice Of his
father, who is a mighty good judge Of
q COW or a horse, but even at that, 1t
is not every boy that has the grit and
determination to invest his savings
in such a manner and stay with it.
The success of Arnold has aroused
the desire of his younger brother TO
get into the calf business, and is max
ing his fathers life miserable with
his coaxing, but Mr.. Amen shakes his
head and declares the boys would
soon have so many calves that there
would be no room on the place for
his own if he agreed to turn both boys
loose.
