and plOWpd twelve acres of new land
the first season and got the work done
in the fail. and had it all ready for
spring. He planted it to corn after
working il up good and the frost got
the corn. The second year he put the
twelve acres into oats and seeded it
down Too much rain fell so he got
few oats bur his clover came along fine
and he got part OF Il crop of hay that
fall from it, Since then for five years
until he sold the farm he cut big hay
crops from this land every year and
made good profit on it. After these
two years of failure Of crops on new
finished acres he changed his plan and
began to brush. burn and seed. and fol
lowed that practice until he sold. and
his experience along with dozens of
other successful settlers combined. is

county land clearing plan for new
acres. Anyone SPltlulS mere can Save

Mr. DUcllloW says he has found that
clover and root crops are sure in this
country and he lays his success to
those crops and the keeping Of good
cows. He says that when Il man is
growing cash crops on the finished
acres he has little time TO work out.

1t is Il very difficult problem to try
TO tell anyone how to farm so as to
make success Of it on unimprOved
land. I0u never find two farmers
farming the same. Each has his own
opinion Of certain problems and he will
follow them in spite Of advice from 9th
erS. SO it all depends on your method
of farming as to whether you'll succeed
or not.
Purchase as much land as YOU are
able to pay for. 1t is not Il very good
plan to have debt on the land unless
you are able to get good terms with
easy payments. Remember that you
will have no income to speak of for the
first few years. and that Il debt with
large payments will hinder your prog

if there are any on the land. This will
keep expenses down. After you have
the farm improved SO as to have an
income. it will be an easy matter to
erect modern up-to-date buildings.
The next thing 10 do is TO clear a
garden spot large enough to supply the
family with vegetables for the sum
mer and winter. The wild berries arc

ginning There is moi enough work for
them to do to pay for the amount of
feed needed to keep them. 1t is much
cheaper to hire Il team from your
neighbor. YOU can pay him back by
working for him. This will help to
keep your expenses low.
Now you have the clearing Of the
land to do The first thing to do is to
burn it over and seed all or at least
part Of it to clover and timothy so as
to have IL pasture for your COWS and
plenty of hay TO keep them over win
ter The hay will have to be made by
hand. but YOU will not need much to
If you are financially able it is Il

much easier and YOU still have an in
come from them.
Burn the land over as many times as
possible. as this is the cheapest and
best way to get rid of the brush 1t
also does away with quite Il few of
the stumps.
You will always find good market
for wood and sometimes you can make
wood enough to pay for the greatest
part Of your farm The timber. if
there is any. should be sawed up and
used later in building the new build

After YOU have pasture large
enough. and plenty Of hay ground to
insure IL good crop. buy a bunch of good

1t is not necessary to remove all the
