security will be better every day, and fight for 

 easy terms and for a long mortgage. You can

Buy your land— don't rent it; it does not 

 pay to put your work into another man's land. 



Every improvement in the condition of the 

 earth — agricultural, mechanical, ethical, edu- 

 cational, political or even religious must go 

 eventually and mainly to the benefit of the 

 owners of the earth; therefore get hold of a bit 

 of the earth, so that everyone who does good 

 wiU do that good for you. 



Get a small bit of land near the market rather 

 than a big bit away from it, because the more 

 people there are near you the better you can 

 Uve and the more money you can make. Be- 

 sides it is much pleasanter and better for the 

 wife and children, as well as for yourself, to be 

 near schools, libraries, proper company, stores, 

 than to be away out among stumps. A grow- 

 ing town will make you rich when it grows out
