The Burred Plymouth Bock, tbe most

and which makes It almost essential

The wise selection of a farm Is vital
to the success and satisfaction of farm
life. Choosing u furtn often means
choosing a place In which to live and
work for a lifetime. It Is Important,
o f course, to decide wisely In buy ing for
tnvestment. Buys the United Stutes De
partment of Agriculture, but In making
a selection for a home It Is doubly
Important to consider various features
that may have a decided bearing on
the farm business or that may make
the home life attractive.
I Home and Business Inseparable.
' The home side of the question must
always be kept In mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are In
separable. Tbe desirable farm from a
business standpoint many times Is
found undesirable If It lias no social
or community advantages. On the
other hand, desirable living conditions
are of little or no advantage unless
Supplemented by a successful farm
business.
In selecting a farm It should be
borne In mind that It requires a farm
business of considerable size to pro
vide an Income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms thun for large ones. A farm
must he o f such a size as to furnish
d o st o f the supplies needed In the
funner'» living, such as garden and
fruit, and enough Income to pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless,
however, there Is a margin above these
annual maintenance charges no prog
ress can be made toward accumulat
ing a surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see to Is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost o f production.
Soils o f low fertility are handicapped—
some are found to be u positive liability
If It Is necessary to farm them. It Is
•well to Inquire thoroughly Into crop
yields, not only those that have been
obtulued on the farm Itself for a period
of years but those reullzed on adjucent
farms.
Equally essential to the success of
the form business Is high quality of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock so It will pay for feed, care,
and labor U more than a mere matter
of management, for It Is dependent

not only on c lie n t roughage, pasture,

the animals kept.
Crop land, In Itself, Is o f little value
unless It Is so situated tliut It can be
made to yield profitable returns
through
the use of
labor and
machinery.

valued ut $100 an acre, may tie a much
better purchase If practically all of

use. than another farm o f 100 acres,

are practically useless, owing to
streams, and swnrnps that cannot lie
drained, or rough stony tracts poorly

Another factor Is euse o f cultivation.

Is not practicable to use Improve.I

harvest the crqps and remove them
from the land by the usual methods.
This Is particularly true tn loudlng buy
and grain on steep hills.
The experienced farmer In selecting
a farm generally looks llrst to the
source and dependability of the water
supply. He knows that a fmm without
and adequate supply of water Is moat
undesirable. Atteutlon should be di
rected to the quality of the water,
the question o f whether the supply Is
dependable at all seasons o f the year,
and to the coat of obtaining It. The

experts o f the United States and

such related subjects as hlghwny
beautification and automobile design
met In Chicago recently to consider
the finally developed plans for the con
struction and embellishment o f the
"Ideal section” o f the Lincoln high

The Lincoln Highway association,
after a careful reconnolsunce o f the
possibilities along the entire trans
continental route, has determined upon
the construction of this model stretch
of road In Lake county, Indiana, about
thirty-seven miles south of Chicago.
Detailed surveys between Dyer and
Schermerville have been made and
final plans applicable to the location
and following the general specifica
tions o f the committee have been pre
pared.
The plans call for a section approxi
mately one and three-quarters miles

adequate to Impress the lessons the
association and the committee have
endeavored to embody In the design.
