You want to sell your farm
Let me tell you how to 20 at it
First, 90 out in the road and
imagine you are wanting to pur.
chase this particular farm; look
at it with the buyers eye. See
how the bushes have grown up ia
the fence corners; how dingy the
house looks; how badly it needs
repainting. Notice how bare the
pasture looks, and see how the
hills are washed.
The orchard needs trimming
badly; and that line of fence sure
" is in bad shape. The hen
house roof is looking bad, too; in
fact the whole farm is run down.
OF course those bushes will
have to be grubbed; the house
painted; that pasture will have
to be reseeded and those washes
filed; the orchard must be
trimmed; the fence mended, sand
the roof fixed. No one would
want such a looking farm.
And by the time all this is done
you Il need a rest. Go out in the
road, and take another look at the
farm and no doubt you'll want
to keep it yourself, it will look s.
good to you.-The Progressive
Farmer.
