Other things that are profitable toward a living on the back lot are 

 rabbits, bees, and goats. Each back lot should have two or 

 stands of bees, and produce the sweets for the family. Honey is 

 delicious and wholesome.. The bees cost nothing after they are 

 established, and will help fertilize the fruits and berries. Anyone can 

 soon learn to handle bees with ease. They are harmless when handled 

 right. Rabbits can be fed from the lawn and small alfalfa patch^along 

 with rolled barley, and will furnish the most nutritious and de- 

 licious meat. 



With all the vegetables from the garden, fruits and berries from 

 wall trees and trellises of vines, poultry and eggs, rabbits, honey from 

 the bees for sweets, milk from the goat, and a family will be pretty 

 independent on a good-sized town lot. An eighth of an acre will do 

 wonders toward a living. A half acre with poultry for income, and 

 rabbits, bees, fruits, berries, and vegetables intensively produced, will 

 make a living for a family of three or four. An acre with one thousand 

 hens intensively cultivated will make a good living, with money in the 

 bank for a rainy day. Back to nature, close to the soil, is the natural 

 way of living. It will insure plenty to eat, peace of mind, health, and 

 a keen appreciation.
