The small farm to be profitable must be 

 located near a market. The amount of produce 

 to be sold at any one time is small and so it is 

 unwise to make any large investment for delivery. 



There is considerable profit in the raising of 

 flowers if you are near a town. Cut flowers sell 

 well in any location. Those that can be grown in 

 the garden are especially profitable. One woman 

 has made a nice income hy growing daffodils. She 

 takes such good care of them that the blossoms 

 appear early, and although she lives 50 miles from 

 market, she makes good profit by shipping them to 

 dealers in the city. There is a good profit too in 

 raising bulbs and seeds. Even if only a small 

 quantity of bulbs or seeds is produced they may 

 be sold to neighbors and friends at a good profit. 



Poultry raised on a small place is usually 

 profitable. If modern methods are employed quite 

 a large number of birds can be handled on a small 

 place without any difficulty. The caring for them 

 on a small tract is really less than where they are 

 scattered over a larger farm. Although the hens 

 do not produce profitably for more than two or 

 three years, they can be replaced economically. 

 The white leghorn has been found to be well 

 adapted to this sort of treatment and is a very 

 prolific producer of eggs.
