(Signed) Sufferin’ ? i u want ‘em for full dress or as “slip- overs” for the barn summer plaything, whether you intend to live on it the year 'mn@ and expect it to support you. Or whether your tastes and inten- tions run towards chickens or potatoes or hay or dairying or any ione of the other two dozen varieties of farming. Or whether you plan to do your own farm work or to hire it done for you. Or whether you're a husky young feliow with plenty of muscle. Or whether you've got hoys coming on to help you out. Or anything else on which to base even a suggestion of & hint. To begin with, my dear fellow, if, as you say, you have na “practical knowledze of farming” what makes vou want to buy any sert of farm? Right there, you see, we're up against our first stump. If you've got plenty of capital, if you want a place to play with in pleasant summer seasons, if you don't care what you do or how much it costs you, why, then, you can't make a mistake in ‘buying any old farm you take a notion to. One's as good as another, and size is of no con- sideration. The bigger the acreage, the more different sorts of experiments you can try. But, if you're like another city man whom I know, who aspires to get to- gether emough “to buy a little place just outside the city where I can raise chickens,” then the situation is differ- ent. This latter man, though, has al- ready had experience with chickens He once lived where he could keep a hundred or so; had fine luck with them, and actualld enjoyed taking care of them. He already has some “practical experience.” You have had none. If you'rs like him, however, in your desire to go into chickens, then you'll have to excuse me from offering any sort of advice whatever. The world There’s so much of it, of so many kinds, that the would-be chicken fan- cier is already enveloped in a veritable fog of advice so thick that even the strongest sunlight of common sense cant’ always pierce it. To add to the density of this fog-bank would be futile—and worse. Because, if you've got the real hen bee in your bonnet, you've got a huzzer good to out-buzz all the advice all the sages of all the poultry yarde could give you. In that case you don’t want advice; you want encour- agement. But if you are simply a tired city man, with a hankering for a freer life in the open air and a belief that the country is the right place to live— if you haven't any capital to waste— if you have got to make your farm pay expenses and give you a living—and if, as you say, you are totally ignorant of the practical details of farm work— | then my ownvgpinion is that youd is plum full and running over with | advice about raising chickens already. ! better not buy any farm of aay size till you've previously given farming a tryout and make up your mind, first, whether you're physically fit for the work and, second, ‘what particular phase of farming you want to tackle. Don’t jump even out of the frying- pan till you're sure you won't land in a hotter place. you could rent a farm. The papers are full of advertisements re- garding such Certainly you could get man” 'most anywhere or scaree help. 't make the ends meet on a rented farm, the first year, you may confidently infer'that you wouldn’t get rich on one of your own. If you ean’t stand the hard work that falls to a hired man’s lot, then you may conclude with fair certainty that you'd never be able to go through the harder work of the boss. If, however, your first year's experience showe you that you've, got the stamina to do farm work, and the managing capacity to get farm results, it will also have suggested to you the exaet sort of farm work you will find it wise to take up. No one year, in any situation, will suffice to ‘teach you all the practical details of farming. But, if you're in- dustrious and energetic and economical and foresighted, a year may see you through your A. B, C's, and into easy words of one syllable. It will ,at least, have given you a “huneh” whether you want to go into dairying er poultry or hay growing or orcharding or potato producing or what-not. You will have won't have to go it blind. Then again, it makes a great differ- ience what sort of a chap you are yourself. I dow’'t know you from Adam. You don't tell me anything about vour persomal idiosyncracies. You may be a quiet, modest, retiring man, with a tendency to “putter” and a dislike of notoriety. You may have a knack for ‘handling small fruits or vegetables which will tend to make yu successful with them. Or you may be a “slambanger”—one of those chaps who can’t turn ’round on less than'a hundred acres, and can't be satisfied unless he is able to teil vou that hes' got “the biggest field of potatoes in town,” or the biggest silo, or the biggest something else. In the former case, very likely you'd find “ten acres emough.” 1 know a gardener who is now intensively culti- vating seven acres and a half and get- i ting more off it, gross or net, than he ever got when he tried to work a hundred-acre farm. In the latter case, you would need two or three hundred acres,.in order to feel that vou had rcom enoush to plunge in days when the steam was sizzling in your boilers and the goose hung altitudinously elevated. But, for heaven’s sake, don't buy any sort of farm unless you are first sure that you are really farm-minded. linr is a constant struggle merely to i #Byo things come out even. If you |can think farm and talk farm and dream farm and work farm and BE farm, then the chances are perhaps even that, after you have learned the practical details of farming, you may earn vour salt at it. But, if you've got the idea that all you have to do is to buy a farm, plow up some of it, sow some seed, and then bank the profits, my sincere advice to vou is exactly the same as Punch's famous “Advice to Those about to Marry—DON'T.” THE FARMER. WESTERLY Even before the war ends officially there is agitation in Westerly for a snitable memoerigl to the roldiers and sailors of Westerly and Pawcatuck who lost or risked their lives in the great war. It was years after the close of the Civil war when movement ‘was started for a coldiers’ and sailors mon- ument in memory of thos» who gave up their lives for the preservation of the Union, and a tribute to all who participated in that war. A monument of granite was proposed and there was much agitation at time. A final re- sult was the erection of the Memorial and Library bullding, as is denoted on a bronze tablet; which is given place in the second story of the build- ing, and readls as follows: “Erected to commemovate the no- ble deeds of the volupiorr soldiers and sailors ¢f Westerly and vieinity n m; inirg the Union, 1861-1865." “Till the mountains are worn out and the rivers forget to flow shall their namps ba kept fresh with rever- ed honors which are inscribed upon the books National Remombrance.” —Henry Ward Beecher. The lasting memorial, fully endow- ed, is the result of the murificence of Stephen Wiicox. There was quite a confiict as to the location of the pro- posed granitc monute, long hefore any meney of consequence wis raised for the purpose. There was strong op- position to crecting the monument in Dixon souare in the smal!l enclosure around the old liherty polc then there. | Some favored the location on the site of the present post office. then a va- cant lot. This plan was ended when the owner erected a small brick bufld- ing thereon which w: subsequently used as post office, until replaced by the presen marble foderal huilding. While this disagreeing ugitatjon was at its hdight Mr. Wileox advised a halt in the granite shaft iine memori- al, and the present fittin memorial to those who participated in the Civil war from Waesterly and vicinity is the { pleasing result. It has been suggested that even a monument of native granite be npt ad- vocated in the proposed Furopean war memorial, but one similar to that erected in horor of the Civil war sol- diers and saiiors be substituted, West- erly is in need of an hospital and some believe a Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memo- rial hospital would he more fitting than a-—useless shaft of granite. As in the case of the Memorial bullding to the Civil War men, there is already a nucleus of $10,000 for haspital pur- poses; that could be used in this con- nection and not detract from the wish- es of the donor, the late Mrs. Willlam Hoxie. The seventh annual exiibition of the South Country Poultry and Fet Stock association opened in the State Armo- ry THanksgiving day. ‘There were many visitors, no admission fee being charged. | The coops have been well arranged by Supt.
