I V Agricultural
From Laborer to Landowner
?How to Rise--By Raising
Home Supplies.
Southern Cultivator.
1 have been thinking of writ
ing to your paper lor sotn ? t me
on the subject of how 1 have
risen from lab nor to landowner.
In 1804, 1 le t homo to work for
myself, with something less than
if5,00 iu ruy peek?!. The salary
1 received was something loss
than $100 or ub lit that amount
I worked tor ahont tin ee]y ears
fo- wages, saving my money each
year; at the etui ol ilie third year
1 married and commenced to
work on shares ; I only ran one
plow. 1 continued to work tha'
way for two years; during those
two years we cot vary little tor
what we made ; 1 made on my
one-horse I arm each year on an
average of 11 V bales weighing
150 pouiidv, bolides corn suliicion!
for my mule. Wo got for
%
our cotton from I V in oV cents
pi r pound, I decided to ion!
the next voir; 1 borrowed
tho money to b ty my mul.? with;
that fall 1 tmulo good crops ; I
paid for my mule and also b ?ught
another, piying t??r tl; cotton was
selling from 7 to 8 cents that
fall; nine bales of cotton to the
plow and corn enough to teed
two utiles is what I made that
year I then began to run two
plows; I made very good crops,
running two plows for two years.
I managed to save some money,
I decided that the rent 1 was giving,
which wis S00 pounds o'
lint cotton to the plow, would
be better investment to be pay.
ing ou a piece ot land for myself
The year 1 decided that, cotton
was selling for ton cools, which
made my rent bo worth $ 1G0.
1 bought a piece of land containiiiii
84 acres, for the sum of IhO'h
paying one-third cash with two
yours to pay tor the rest at 8 per
cent interest. At the end of two
years 1 was clear of debt with
some cash left. Today I can sol!
my place for $3,000.
I have a nice farm, couven
itntly located. 1 wish to say
that from the lime 1 iett honu
until the time I bad bought my
farm was eight years; two o
those eight years we go- nothiu*:
much for what we mule. l)ur
iug all of tlmso eight years 1 dul
not buy leu bushe s of corn or
very lute of any thins; else that
I needed on the farm. 1 soon
f un d out that the secret ot success
depended on a farmer raising
his supplies at home; it habeen
three years since I hav?
owned my home, aud no one bui
he who has earned it by tin
sweat of his brow can reahz<
how thankful I am that I do uo
have to move from place to place
Wishing the Cultivstor uiuct
success. W. A. i*.
