"These farmers they don't farm anything, Tliey ure nil looking for snJiiftbiiiK big mid they won't bother themselves with fruit mid vegetables Hint butter. They put in crops by guess mid they don't know whether they are making money or not, for i they don't keep books. It U more ini- jKirtant for u man to use business methods and good judgment on the l'u i in than in business. In business tliere is only on" line of -work to be looked after; on tlio farm there uic twenty." Fin titer questioning and in "-ligation of tho grounds brought out sev eral reasons why the axerage Kuro- pean inriner or gardener will wring sustenance or wealth from a tract of laud upon which inany Americans would starve or which they would Ktuno or which they would abandon in dUiist. locs Ills l'ar niiioil Work. First Ihere is tho luuniug iufdinet, coupled with mi inbred line ot the offered more than it is worth. it did not tempt him for the tho charge of Mr, H. W, Wators one place was more than money. How many American tanner wouldn't dis pose of their place in a jiffy if there was a profit in Hght. Again tliere is u dogged persistence and patience thnt compels the soil to respond. The average westerner is too restless too impatient to wuit for results from n slow process. Again, there is a capacity for detail that is unknown to too many Americans-. "If u man is to make money from bis-ground, he must know what j largo a tract of land can bo irrigated each crop is doini'. just us a dairy- j from a well. Care in distributing the out tlio nutriment, making tho soil more difficult to work, nnd in tlm ense of fruits, impairs tho quality.

Everything must piiy or it goes dii'r. He "keeps tab" on income and expen-e, and ut the end of every' season van tell by iis books how much be bus made, nnd which crop bus paid him the best. Works liy a Si stem. , Again, the man of thu Alps works' by a .system a .system by which lie! eomels his soil to do double duty,! mid yet udds to fertility intend of robbing it. A series of early spring crops U first taken off and marketed. Then a second series of lute summer j crops is hurried m. When this is ma tured, tbu soil i once more stirrel up and a crop of winter onions, turnips and such things is set to work. Aud through nil the series the work of fertuliring and soil building is never neglected. Kvery season sees more going into the soil than was taken out. Hence, every season the re sults aro obtained with hs labor. This nbieo also illustrates how wnier counts lor more than quan tity of water.
