What the Northern Farmer Who Has
Formed In the South Says.
Well, here's winter coming again.
What a change from the old days up
North. Winter comes, but I no
longer dread it. It's always pleasant
and never stops my work. It only
makes a change from one kind
of outdoor work to another. Clear¬
ing, plowing and planting can go
right along. How the folks like it !
Mother and the girls are not shut up
in the house by bad weather half the
winter. All of us are healthier and
happier than ever before. I don’t
have to spend in winter all I make in
summer. This is a money making
country for the farmer all the year
round.
