Jjvi Kelloggji Great Crop ol 
$960 FROM AN ACRE. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE is promising to become as famous for its big yields of strawberries as it is for its graniti.- 
hills. Francis A. Badger of Belmont, N. H., raised $30 worth of Thoroughbred strawberries on one-six- 
teenth of an acre in 1905, which is at the rate of $960 an acre, and writes us that ne-tt year he will have a real 
commercial garden, as he had "set 3,0JJ Kellogg plants this year and only lost 1 per cent in the hardest season 
for setting I ever knew. " 
gous growth and many weed seeds. Immediately 
after tiie burning a bar sliear or common break- 
ing plow is used to throw a furrow from each 
side of the row into the center, cutting the row 
down to about five or six inches wide; follow- 
ing this is a common harrow, going in the same 
direction as the plow, crossing it the next time. 
This draws fine soil over the crowns, which is 
to assist them in starting the new root system; 
these roots are formed just above the old ones 
at the base of crown and give the plants a vig- 
orous start into a new life. Soon we have rich, 
green rows across the field and right now is the 
time to go over them with hoes, cutting out all 
weeds and any weak plants, leaving the best 
hills about sixteen inches apart. 
St&rtinit a Berry Farm on Little Capital 
IF a young man waits until he earns enough 
money to start a business of his own with- 
out going into debt, it is quite likely the best 
part of his life will be spent in working for 
others. About all of the large business con- 
cerns in this country have grown up from almost 
nothing; this is due to the fact that some men 
having a good ideii also possess the grit to use 
their own judgment in working it out, regard- 
less of debt or any other obstacle which lies in 
man's power to overcome. The starting poini 
in life is to decide on what you want to do and — 
do it. If you have decided to go into the- berry 
business and your capital is not sufficient to 
start with at once, then go to some one who 
owns land, tell him your exact circumstances 
and what you want to do, and arrange 
with him to sell or lease you a few acres on 
easy terms. Most any land owner will do this 
with an honest man; in fact, honesty is the best 
capital one can have. Without it, no one can 
win success. Honesty and truthfulness will do 
more toward building up a business than mone\'. 
Be up to date and progress with the times; 
prove to the person who furnishes the land that 
you are going to be the leader on the market. 
Every dollar should be deposited in some bank, 
and your bills paid by check. This will give 
you a credit there and small sums can be bor- 
rowed if it becomes necessary. Be prompt in 
meeting all your obligations; if a note becomes 
due before you are in a position to take it up.
