'^^' PRACTICAL "DON'TS" 



didly uncomfortable as even the worst Philistine 

 could desire. But while you are earning your 

 fortune, be comfortable. It pays. 



Don't think you must throw up your job and 

 rush into farming for a living, unless you have 

 had some experience, or have a snug little bank 

 account to depend upon while you are learning. 

 Get your experience on a small piece of land 

 first, while still holding down your present job. 

 Be sure you like the work and that you are 

 willing to give all necessary time and attention 

 to it. 



Don't think that this list exhausts all the 

 "don'ts," practical or otherwise. There are 

 dozens of others. But it is well to leave some- 

 thing to the imagination and to experience. 

 You'll learn them for yourself and remember 

 them better for it. Nevertheless, it will do no 

 harm to attach the rules for farm buying 

 submitted to the American Jewish Association. 

 They run as follows : 



Don't think about buying a farm if your wife 

 won't live in the country. 



Don't believe in agents when they tell you 

 gold-brick stories. 



Don't chase after big farms. 



Don't buy a farm unless you have money 

 enough left to buy a cow.
