iiuiiHxumiug and iiiiIiouhII'iiI, only
laughed when I told him it had been
claimed that a man couldn't make a
decent living off from five acres r
land in this .-.eetimi. 'lt can be done,
and it is being done, by lots of people

n matter of gutting tho right soil ami

right 4ytcm in cultivation."
Not Heal l-'ariiici-x.
Ho laughed again, disgustedly,
vJicii we spoke of farmers buying
supplies for their tables and their
slock,' in (Irnnlh Pass.
"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.

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.

Lthing, sooner or later .something will
cheat him out of a profiu.'' This man
doesn't allow any square yard of bis
laud to client him. 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. "Too many fanners
nnd fruit men don't Know bow to ue
