In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, David Buffum, a practical New England farmer, writes an interesting article entitled “Can Poor Men Become Farmers?” He goes on to show how the man with a little capital can get started in agriculture much easier than the man with no capital—precisely as in the case of other business. He does not absolutely discourage men taking up agriculture without any capital, however. His article is filled with practical advice founded on experience. In the following passage he shows how on the farm it is necessary for a man to work harder than anywhere in the world:

“The new farmer should refrain, at first, from hiring much help. He should plan to do most of the work himself. And he must work hard—harder probably, at times, than he ever worked before. For although there are ‘slack times’on the farm—as in winter, when the farmer’s work is easy and his hours short, or in the early autumn which is proverbially the farmer’s holiday—it is not so in ‘the busy season.’ His plowing, planting and harvesting must be begun and finished each in its proper season or result in loss; and nature, with whom he is working in collaboration, takes no account of the eight hour law whether he is tired or short-handed. There are times when he must rise before he is properly rested, and begin his day’s work tired and sore, nor can he, as when a wage earner, leave his work behind him on Saturday noon with no thought of it again until Monday morning. T have laid the more emphasis upon the exacting nature of the farmer’s work because so many city dwellers see in farming an easy way of getting a living, and, from being long accustomed to a taskmaster, forget that a man who is working for himself, if earnest and resolute and determined to succeed, may find in the demands of his farm a harder taskmaster than he ever worked for before.
