WHAT FARMING IS! BUSINESS (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) A corresnondent who knows that I sometime ago gave up what is called “zeneral farmiing” for gardening aske which I censider the more profitable. Dear me! That's 2 lttle liko ask- ing whether cranges are a better crop than apples. ¢ 21l depende. 5 * the climate of Florida, say, is ore conductive Lo orange groves than le opchards, it would seem simple sense to @o in for oranges there. one wouid hesitate Jong before ad- ieing a MMaine avnle grower to sub- e orange groves for his orchards. too near the North Pole.

Of course ompeiition from such sources cuts averely imto the pro ave to earn or worl fits of any who wages for like pay Furthermore, it may very well hap- pen,—often does happen, that the mere distance from market may be a bar to saceessful trucking. Last spring. nad a rather wi uite nice lead letiuce. There was more of it than my local market could 1se. I tried the jobbers in the near- e8t two city markets, and got their prices. T féund that they would pay me-only zbout a quarter of what T was setting rezalarly, per head théugh the retail price of lettuce to the consumers ¥ _Both those cities was miora than ouble what I was charging my ' jocal ustbmers.

Now, there may be psople willing s #mise head-lettuce for -1 ¢ n ent a head. But I own up that the ition was not attractive to me.

With eazgs at twenty-five cents a dozen, I think that was the most sensible way to use it. 1f one likes to work a garden and hag discovered in himself Ly past tests the abllity to raise a little bettsr on a | little earlier truck than his neighBors; jand if there ape enough of those neighbors to take what he raises; and if they are willing to pay a fair price and pay cash; and if he has a few acres of good garden soil or of ground {that can cheaply be made into such,— Iwhy, then, I should eay that there is rather more money in raising garden- truck than in raising general fleld erops. { But there's no use of a man under- |taking it unless Lie feels a genuine lcall that way. In the courgse of my life Tve had two farm laborers at ardens. They were both biz farm. They wers they were sober; they were fully up to the average in intelligence. But all their experience had been on big fleld work, and I had to watch 'em as 2 cat watches a mouse almost ev- ery minute to see that they didn’t slur over something. Not that they meant to slight any needed work, but they had their eves and hands trained to sez and do ¢nly the big things. Now gardening is a constant suc- c m of little things, and attention to what seem to some trifling details. Also, | should hesitate to advise any inexperienced hand to go imto it, no matter how much he liked it, unless he felt some assurance of a good handy direct market, where he could sell his produce direct to his custom- ers and thus nut into his own pocket | all that was fairly coming to him. Of course, there are gardeners who raise immense quantities of truck and seil it By the carload to wholesalers. But, in most cases, I suspect you'll find that these are oid hands who have rown into it gradually and have de- veloped at once a science of economy in production and a trick of shrewd- nesg in sellin~ which beginners are not likely to attain. Above all T should not think it safe Jto undertake to sell truck except for cash. The little char~e book which it is =0 easy to carry and jot down sales in is the trucker's sure passport to the pooraouse. Really, the least important item 1 the sofl.
