it considered hardly worth
clearing off the brush (not Umber). I
was surprised to find so many neai
little places ranging In site from 20

have replaced the log cabin and straw
shed of a few years ago. ine oiu
brush fence is replaced by good woven
wire. Some of these farms are about
all hills, others about all hollows. Now
whom do you suppose lives in these
little houses? Landlords, every one of
them; God-loving and God-fearing
men.
These men have been hired men
and tenants and at last are owners of
farms. The best part of it is they
are happy, are making a comfortable
living and laying aside a dollar for
the "rainy day" It occurred to me
these men have been very sensible
