224 HAPPY HOLLOW FARM 



herd will not be large. I'll break no records 

 with the number of animals handled. But 

 every beast in the herd will be handled at a 

 real profit, and there will be no losses to set 

 off against the profits at the season's end. 



I'm going farther than that with the pig 

 business. Two years from now I shan't be 

 selling a live pig off the place save as I have 

 one now and then that will bring a fancy price 

 for breeding purposes. Two years from now 

 every pig that's bred and grown and finished 

 on the farm will be converted right here into 

 fancy hams and bacon and sausage, and these 

 products will find their way straight to con- 

 sumers who are able to know a good thing 

 when they get it. We've tried this in a small 

 way, and we know it will work. Every penny 

 of profit that's made in that business we'll be 

 able to keep for ourselves. The danger of loss 

 will be practically wiped away. I want to say 

 something more about that before I'm done 

 with the story.
