HOW TO BE RICH WITH A LIT- 

 TLE LAND. 



I am going to tell about Caleb Jones. 



He has the best-paying garden within a 

 day's journey, and Mrs. Jones has the prettiest 

 flowers. The farm is a good one, well tilled 

 and kept up ; but so are a good many others. 

 His land, if you see it after the crops are off, 

 is about the same as that of other prosperous 

 farmers ; but he always takes the first prize at 

 the County Fair for pumpkins and cabbages — 

 Mrs. Jones for pansies and marigolds. 



They live within four miles of the village, 

 where several hundred people buy their every- 

 day fruits and vegetables. One taste of Jones' 

 sweet corn is enough to secure a customer — 

 beans and peas the same. You see what a 

 hold he has on the market. 



At home they live like lords. ^ American 

 farmers have good things to eat, compared 

 with the rest of the world ; but not one in a 

 hundred lives like Caleb and Mrs. Jones and 

 the little Joneses. 



When two merr set out to do the same thing, 

 and one succeeds while the other fails, there is 

 apt to be a reason for it. So, when most of 

 our people have plenty of wants and some 

 have money to lend, there's a reason for that. 

 What is it ?
