Then he goes to work and breaks up, we will say, 50 acres of land. He has to live sixteen months before his principal crop comes in, but he can have his potatoes and corn, planted on the sod, within a few months, to help him out in his living; that is, when he breaks his land the first year, he will plant a portion of it under corn, potatoes, and other vegetables, sufficient for his own use, and for feed for his cattle.
WHAT IT WILL COST HIM TO LIVE.
| For a family of four, 30 bushels of wheat, ground into flour, at $1, a bushel | $30 00 |
| Groceries | 15 00 |
| 1 cow for milk | 25 00 |
| Fuel | 30 00 |
| Total | $100 00 |
He has besides, vegetables, and corn sufficient, that he raised on his breaking, and two hogs that he raised and fattened on the corn, and for which we should have charged him two or three dollars. In the fall, his hogs weigh 200 lbs. each, and he can sell them or eat them; we recommend the latter course.
