HAD A CAPITAL OF MOO

In Six Years He Was Well Off An Alberta farmer, who had borrowed from a loan company, in remitting to them the last payment on his mortgage, decided to give them the history of his experience, on a Manitoba farm. It was that of many another farmer, and for the benefit of those who contemplate a change the liberty is taken of reproducing it. “I will give you here a brief summary of my experience since coming here six years sgo. 'I was a new hand at trade being meat-cut-ting and butchering. My capital was $400,-which was a first payment on my quarter section (ICO acres). Most of'my stock, harness, Implements, etc., were bought at sales, all “on time,” necessarily. The buildings on the place were about as good as nothing and had either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely. There were 26. acres broken, and very badly farmed, bringing poor returns the'first year.”’ After mentioning a number of mischances, he says: “In spite of all these drawbacks, I have done well.. I consider my farm worth $3,500 to $4,000. I have four head of horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred Buff Orpington'chickens and 125 turkeys, besides implements, harness, etc,, to run my place. I have a well 170 feet deep with an inexhaustible supply of water. The well with pump cost me S4OO. I have built a $125 chicken house and put. up nearly SSO worth of poultry fencing; have built root cellars to hold-over 3.00 Q bushels of potatoes and other vegetables. As to income, I raise about ten acres of garden -and roots annually which net from S6OO to SI,OOO total. I generally sell from 20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings from $6 to sl4 per ton. My grain is most all used on the farm except a few hundred bushels sold to the neighbors for seed. My four milk cows bring in from SSO to SBO each (counting calf). Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs which averaged more than 25 cents a dozen (I always work for winter egg production). The surplus hens were sold tn spring, dressed at $1 each. My turkeys average $2.50 each in fall. By having vegetables to feed my young cattie, the two-year-old steers bring $75 each in spring.”—Advertisement

Supplies Cut Off. “How did you come out withyour garden last year?” ' _ “It got us into trouble,” replied Mr. Cflosslots. “I bragged so much about our sweet corn and tomatoes we were raising that our vegetable man took offense and didn’t come around for nearly two weeks.” GREEN’S AUGUST FLOWER ■ * Few persons can be sick who us® Green's August Flower, IL has been used for all ailments that are-caused by a disordered stomach and inactive liver, such as sick headache, constipation, sour stomach, nervous indigestion, fermentationfpf food, palpitation of the heart from gases created in the stomach, pains in the stomach, and many other organic disturbances.
