national farm weekly will be mailed to your address for 25 cts. 
Start Farming 
In Your Back Yard 
And make it pay while you are getting ready to move into the country. 
There are contentment, happiness and profit in learning to farm, if you 
begin in a small way on a small plot of land. 
The hotbed will supply your table with fresh vegetables and lead you 
into truck gardening. 
The window box will beautify your home and show you how to grow 
flowers for market. 
A dozen hens will supply you with fresh eggs and train you to start a 
commercial egg farm. 
A single hive of bees will give you honey for all the year and teach you 
how to make a living from an apiary. 
A few trees will fill your cans with fruit and lead you into the fascinating 
field of orcharding. 
Learn the fundamentals on a small scale and you can easily adapt them to 
the big farm. 
Women Manage Farms 
The farm housewife usually does the reading, thinking and a lot of the planning, while 
the man does the heavy field work. But she needs an adviser to tell her what to do step 
by step each week. Our personal service is as valuable to the women as to the men — in 
fact, of the thousands of letters received by us each month fully 25 per cent are written 
by women. More than one hundred experts in every line of farm endeavor — indoors and 
out—are at our call, and your question will be answered personally and promptly by mail, 
without charge to you.
