The Farmer Solves Farm Problem with 1,000 Acres; 14 Children and Plenty Profit. "In Marshall County, Miss., a few miles from Holly Springs, there lives a Negro farmer, intelligent and fairly well educated. This former owns 1,000 acres of land, of which a substantial part is creek bottom land, and on which he does n’t owe a dollar, and all taxes are paid. "He has 14 living children by his first and present wife. Eight of these are out in the world on their own and all are educated, some having been sent through north ern colleges. They are teachers, trained nurses and occupy other gainful occupations. “The home is a rambling farm house, consisting of seven rooms, including a sizeable and clean bath and toilet room. It is lighted by electricity supplied by a small light plant, and the water supply is pumped from a deep well into a reservoir, and from that into the house. “His wife, an intelligent, educated woman, keeps the house as neat as a pin, looking after the smaller children and doing the cooking. Her storeroom is filled with preserves, jelly, jam, pickles and all kinds of canned vegetables, which she put up herself. There are also many home-cured hams, side-meat and breakfast bacon in this store room. An underground cellar holds several hundred bushels of sweet and Irish potatoes, turnips and other vegetables. "The wife also raises several hundred chickens, guineas, geese, turkeys and other fowls. Many cords of fire wood are stacked near the house for winter use. The fanner has about 30 Duroc pigs in his pen and a dozen or more sheep in his pasture. He has a dozen milk cows and a number of other cattle. His bams are overflowing with corn, hay and other feedstuff. He has 50 or more bales of cotton under his she! ' i the rear of his house, and has bank accounts in two different banks, and owes not a cent to factor, banker or any one else. He owns all his own work stock and farm implements. He holds the respect of the people of his community. "This farmer is a native of Mar shall County, Miss., and by thrift, attention to his business and by exercising intelligence, is not only independent, but seems to have solved the problem of wise living ind has demonstrated in a practi • ------ --- - - cal way that by living on the farm and off its produce , independency, and even a competency, can be se cured. He has pursued the philoso phy that the farm is a place on which to make a comfortable liv ing and to rear a family, and by keeping down unnecessary home and opera ng expenses, the profits or cash returns take care of them selves in \ roper proportion with the commodi.' V prices and the boun tifulness of nature. What he has accomplished is not in the nature of a miracle, but is the result of living up to his philosophy of liv ing.” ENGLISH Words Often Misused Do not say, "What will you take?” Say, "What will "ou have?” Words Often Misspelled Article; not cal.
