THE TRAINING OF FARMERS 



and a great deal of hard labor, I think a person 

 of average ability, who enjoys farming and tak- 

 ing care of and studying characteristics of 

 domestic animals, will be a more independent 

 and useful man if he sticks to the farm than if 

 he follows any other business. 



11 Perhaps there would be more money in 

 some other line of work. Money is not all of 

 life; so I will go back to the farm/' 



(18) "a. I like the work. 



"~b. The farmer is the most independent man 

 that lives. 



"c. It is healthful work. 



"d. It is a good place for a happy home. 



"e. There is profit in it, and it is gaining 

 headway every day." 



(19) "I am going back to the farm because 

 it is the most healthful business I have ever 

 known and I like it as a business from start to 

 finish. The cattle alone are enough to call any 

 one back to the farm." 



(20) "a. Because agriculture seems to offer 

 one of the greatest opportunities financially. 



"b. Because I see in agriculture the most 

 pleasant and agreeable occupation. 



"c. Because I love nature, and may be 

 brought into more intimate relations with it 

 by this profession than by any other.
