FARM SELECTION PERPLExlNG
Study Of Several Intricate Points
Called For-Knowledge of Basic
Principles Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of ~Agriculture.)
In choosing a farm n has the op-
lions of buying with the intention of
operating the place as his entire BUSH
ness, buying a small farm and renting
enough additional land to meet his
needs, or renting a farm either on the
share or cash basis. Ones choice in
The matter is usually determined by
the funds available.
If one has. only a small amount of
capital and wishes to undertake farm
ing as a business from which to de-
rive his entire income, he should. in
nearly all cases, begin as a renter.
However, if lie wishes to buy a farm
on which to live, deriving & part of his
income from other sources, then. pos
sibly, purchasing is desirable. ever if
capital is 1imired.
Whatever course is followed, it is
highly desirable that enc thoroughly
understand the basic principles gov
erning the farm business before de-
Gliding some of the finer points. A dis
regard Of these basic principles is re
sponsible for a large proportion of
farm failures.
A man may unconsciously work all
his life against some economic barrier
when success would have been com.
p~aratiyely easy if he had selected q
farm where the economic principle
would old him ioStoa1 of yuorly;nc
against him.

ROTTEN EGG is UNDESIRABLE
Many Farmers Do Not Seem to Care
or Bother About Clean Nests for
the Layers.

No one likes a rotten egg, ms
quently no n is going to buy one

farmers do not care whether their hens
steal their nests or not and do not
bother to hunt for the eggs until mar
ket day comes around. Once a week
is sometimes as often as eggs are
looked for. Any eggs that have come
from an old nest or that in any way
look suspicious should he candled at

Quite a number Of Langdon resi-
dents are complaining of a seepage
of surface water into their placements
aed cellars this spring as the snow
goes off. 1t is partly due to the i'm
perfection of the city's system of
drainage and in quite a number of
cases caused by the excavations made
when waterworks and sewerage was
put in last fall not having been pro
perly filled.
