WE FARM FOR A HOBBY 



And Make It Pay 



"As this is written we are close on to Thanksgiving. In \Xe barn 

 are two milch cows yielding a superabundance o r tuberculin- and 

 blood-tested whole raw milk. Beside them are two ored heifers and 

 two female calves. In the next twelve months we can count on four 

 more calves, at least one of which will be a vealer (its mother tossed 

 her cap, not over the windmill but over the party-line fence) . Along- 

 side these are three sheep that will turn into lamb, and when I say 

 lamb I mean lamb. . . . There are nineteen pigs, four of which will 

 go to the butcher before Christmas, while three will stay at home 

 to provide us with ham, bacon, lard, sparerib, sausage, scrapple, and 

 souse. There are one hundred and ten hens producing more eggs 

 than we can eat. Before next spring we shall have culled out thirty 

 or forty of the low producers and salvaged them in potpies. These, 

 with the twenty ducks in excess of the brood flock, will supply us 

 with fowl twice a week for the next six months. Currently, until the 

 end of the gunning season, they give place to rabbit and squirrel, 

 pheasant and quail. 



"Overhead in the hayloft are fifteen to twenty tons of hay and corn 

 fodder, while out in the corn crib are some six tons of corn with 

 which to feed the livestock through the winter. And although the 

 year's growing season is supposed to be over, the garden still pro- 

 duces lettuce, celery, leeks, broccoli, spinach and cauliflower; while 

 in the cellar or outdoor pits are carrots, beets, cabbages, turnips, 

 potatoes, apples, and pears. And two hundred and fifty quarts of 

 canned fruits and vegetables in the red-room closet!" 



". . . To start home-use farming, at today's prices, it takes about 

 five hundred dollars' worth of livestock, nursery stock, and manu 

 factured equipment." 

 AND- 



"In 1932, our budget for food and farm was at least $40.20 per 



week In the first nine months of 1937 the net weekly budget was 



exactly $23, even though the part of our budget which went for 

 boughten food had risen to an average of $5.90 per week. . . ."
