FARMERS' LIFE INDEPENDENT.
To Insure Success n City Mnn Must
Hnro Soino Capital.
Farming as a new occupation for
a city man Is, of course, surrounded
with perils but If these can bo
successfully surmounted, and ho and
his family becomo satisfied with what
they learn to know of tho luro of tho
land, ho . is sure of tho future both
for himself and those near him.
Ownership of a tract of land largo
enough to support a family, and
knowledgo how to get that support
out of the land, frees a man com
pletely from tho dangers and ap
prehensions which Industrial and
commercial life Involve. Ho Is Inde
pendent. Whatever may happen to
others, he knows that In his acres
are ample food and clothing. Drouth
sometimes depletes his crops, but so
rarely Is there a drouth to bereave
him entirely that it Is not worth re
garding. The great majority of farmers are
not profit-takers from their lands, or
money Bavers, any more than the
great majority of wage earners in
towns and cities. 7hey do not know
how, and are not particularly anx
ious to learn. Until the remunera
tion of the farm laborer shall be
higher than it is now, through high
er recompense of the farmer, It is
not worth while to say anything
about the prospects ofthe farm labor
er. Ho hasntt any more than the
ordinary laborer in any other field
of work, unless he is a man of un
usual force of character, determined
to work himself up to something
higher. It is still less feasible for a
city man to become a farm tenant
unless he knows at tho outset how
to farm how to get out of the Boil
the money with which to pay his
rent. To go onto a farm without
capital and without knowledge of
farming would not be a sensible thing
to do.
If thero is some capital to start
with, the move to a farm can be
made with prospect of success, pro
vided thero is determination to work
in order to win. This was tho case
with a farmer who took tho prize
In the 1909 Iowa state fair for tho
championship ear of corn, which was
sold at auction for ?160. Ho had
driven a laundry wagon in Des
Moines for years before he finally
concluded to try his luck with land,
of which he knew little or nothing.
But he was a man of ability and grit,
and if ho had stayed in Des Moines
he would have Anally won out In the
city there just as he did In the
country. He had the qualities that
spell success.
The advice of W. J. Spillman, ex-
pert of tho national department of
agriculture, Is that any man going to
the land for the first time as a means
of making a living should, If possi
ble, take a preparatory course in
some school of agriculture. A good
opening for him is to become a gard
ener In the suburbs. If he can raise
a surplus he is sure of a good mar
ket. And, anyhow, he can likely
keep his family and acquire experi
ence until qualified for broader work
Mrmy men have made the transition
in this way from city to country life.
Others havo become dairymen in a
small way, or poulterers, or fruit
growers. All tho knowledge thus
secured Is essential to the successful
management of even a small farm
wnere attention is given to more
details than If one were relying ex
clusively upon the land.
It might as well be understood at
the outset that It is practically 1m
possible now to break into farm
ing without some capital to begin
with. A generation ago, or less,
there was plenty of land to be home-
steaded. Especially. In tho middle
west, where most of this land was
available, tho soil was rich and its
fertility needed no attention. Here
It did not take long for tho beginner
to learn how to farm successfully.
When good land was thus so plenti
fully available for tho mere asking,
thousands of farm homes were es
tablished by men who had no previ
ous knowledge of the business.
"At the present time," says tho de
partment of agriculture, there is
practically no desirable land loft for
homesteads."
Ho who wishes to own a farm now
must buy the land. And it is often
tho case that the land In the loca
tion where he would purchase has
been worn out by slipshod methods of
cultivation. While thl3 of course re
duces Its value. It puts tho buyer to
the labor and oxpenso of a resuscita
tion that may require years of ap
plication. Ho who has had no ex
perience as a farmer goes on tho
land usually with a full appreciation
of his ignorance and under tho cir
cumstances this Is an advantage, for
he Is anxious and willing to learn.
Moreover, ho Is not hemmed in by
traditions and hallucinations in con
nection with land service which of
ten are detrimental to men who havo
been raised on the soil.
There is a wonderful amount of
valuable literature now available
about farming from state and feder
al sources, and tho now farmer who
would do tho right thing need not do
tho wrong thing if ho will but seek
tho many uuthorltatlvo sources of In
formation open to him moreiy ior
the asking. But In these days a man
cannot go to farming without money
to start with auy moro than ho can
engago in merchandising.
How much does ho need? This
dopends on tho prlco of the land and
the magnitude of his enterprise. Ho
may beglu with an acre or with a
hundred acres. Success Is possible
with either, but moro likely with tho
Bluglo aero thim with tho hundred,
If thero is no prior experience by
either, unless tho bigger farmer has
monoy with which to hire a farm
manager.
The usual wealthy city man with
a country homo has a placo that
costs him a good deal moro than ho
Is getting out of It. Ho is a farmer
in a sense, but not in tho sonso un
der consideration here. Ho does not
have to rely on his land for his llv
Ing. It is simply his fad, which is
all right. But ho should not bo held
up as an enviable examplo of what
a man Is ablo to make out of tho
soil. On tho contrary, he is a shin
Ing examplo of what a man Is ablo
to put into tho soil.
But with all tho obstacles and per
ils in thq way of an Inexperienced
man entering upon a now life as a
larmer, u ho shall master It ho will
una that bo has come Into many nd
vantages. Ho no longor need fear
being displaced as to a means of
livolluood. His tlmo is his own his
life Is completely Independent. Ho
may produco practically all tho food
required by his family. His actual
money expense need bo very small
whllo at the samo time his stand
ard of living, from tho standpoint of
ioou, may do very much higher than
among quite well-to-do people In
town or city. If ho wants morn tlinn
this off his farm ho can got It, If
ho knows how. If ho doesn't know
hpw tho fault Is his and It is up to
mm 10 team now. Nature provides
tho land, but tho tiller must do tho
rest. Pittsburg Gazotte-Timea.
A Tip on Oats.
According to tho Saturday Evening
Post, a man who had a country place
on Long Island came to New York
ono morning to do a llttlo speculating.
He waa a great believer In tips.
On tho ferryboat It camo to him
that ho had had somehow n tip On
oats. Ho couldn't remember Just -what
It waa, but somebody had told him to
buy oats. So when he reached his
broker's office ho looked into oats a bit
nnd bought some. Oats were active.
Ho pyramided skillfully and hy tho
closo of the market was 87.0TO ahead,
Of course such luck as that had to
bo celebrated, and it was. As the cele
bration went on tho oats buyer told tho
story several times and each tlmo took
on lmportanco in tho recital as an oats
buyer until ho Anally became tho oats
king. He reached his railroad station
somewBrat late and found the -stable
man waiting for him with a trap.
"By tho way," said tho stableman,
"did you remember to order that five-
bushels of oats I asked you to buy this
morning?"
Not 8afe.
The negro on occasions displays n
Ane discrimination in tho choice of
words.
"Who's tho best whltewashcr In
town?" Inquired tho now resident
"Ale Hall am a bo'nd a'tlst with a
whitewash brush, sah," answered the
colored patriarch eloquently.
"Well, tell him to como and white
wash my chicken house tomorrow."
Uncle Jacob shook his head dubious
"Ah don't believe, sah, Ah'd engage
Ale Hall to whitewash a chicken
house, sah."
"Why, didn't you say ho was a good
whltewasher?"
"Yob, sah, a powo'fnl good white
washer, sah, but mighty queer about a
chicken house, sah, mighty queerf

If we proposo to abandon any Indus
tries we had better not Jet It bo tho
agricultural Industries. Between tho
Atlantic nnd PnclAc stretch vast re
gions still unfilled. Tho next victory
of protection should bo thero.
Onr system of protection Is not for
manufacturers alone. It is for farm
ers also. Whoever deprives our farm
ers of all tho American market they
can occupy Is false to his principles
and must meet with defeat, or tho sys
tem must be surrendered which pro
claims that American markets are first
of all for American citizens, who are
engaged In developing tho country wo
already havo.
Protection rests upon principle or It
does not. If it does not, then it Is a
mere bestowal of bounty nnd Is no
part of tho business of government If
It rests upon principle, then that prin
ciple must bo that tho American mar
kets belong to tho Americans, You
cannot maintain your system and sac
rifice anything to which It Is appli
cable. 'Just think a moment what wages
are. They aro tho dovourers of con
sumable wealth. In order to havo
more consumable wealth you must
have an lncentlvo for Its creation.
Wealth will never bo mado unless a
consumer stands ready. More con
sumable wealth, therefore, depends

in this country we have both.
Where two nations have equal skill
and equal uppllauccs and a market ol
nearly equal size and one of thmu can
hire labor at one-half less, nothing but
n tariff can maintain tho higher wages,
nnd that wo can provo.
Wo aro the only rival that Euglnnd

ders tho population and tho wages, the
raw material and within ourselves ilia

most Improved machinery, Our con
stant power to Increase our wages In

you wish us to follow the example -England,
I say yes, with all my hent t.

Lot us keep protection, ns she did, un
til no rival dares to Invade our terri
tory, and then wo may take our

on tho Republican side.
It would bo an Interesting chapter
In economic history If wo could have
In figures tho abatement of foreign
prices which hnvo followed every In
crcaso of tho tariff, for it would show
what enormous profits havo been made
out of us by these pco'plo when no pro
tection existed.
Tho history of protection has bee!
most remarkable. Fifty years ago thi
question seemed to bo closed. Great
Britain had adopted free trade, the
United States had started In the same
direction, and the wholo world seemed
about to follow. Today tho entire sit
uation seems to bo reversed. The,
wholo civilized world, except Greut
Britain, has become protectionist, and
tho very year last passed has wltneau
ed tho desertion of English principles
by tho last English colony which held
out This has been done In defiance of
tho opinions of every political econo
mist in England who wrote prior to
1850 and of most of those who have
written since.
After thirty years of protection, nn
disturbed by any serious menaco of
free trade, up to tho very year now
last past this country was tho great
est and most flourishing nation on the
fee of this earth. Loud applause on
tho Republican side. Moreover, with
the shadow of this unjustifiable bill
resting cold upon It, with mills closed,
with hundreds of thousands of men
unemployed. Industry at a standstill
and prospects before It more gloomy
than ever marked Its history except
once this country Is still tho greatest
and the richest that tho sun shines on
or ever did shine on. Reno wed np
plause, Shorter hours of labor wero scorned
not only by Cobden and Bright, but
by 07ery political economist of Eng
land even down to 1883, when Bonamy
Price denounced shorter hours of la
bor as a "repudiation of tho great
doctrine of free- trade." Tho sole idea
of tho political economist of that class
has always been as low wages as pos
sible, as long hours as could bo and a
product of as cheap a price as possible.
