I am 45 years of age, have a wife and five children;
the youngest is five and the oldest is 18 years.
I was
born on a farm, but have been working as a baker since I was 14 years old, except about a year and a half
handling a
team of horses, making sidewalk, cutting
some hay and raising a few acres of potatoes for my uncle.
Now my eyes are failing me, working on the oven, and I wish to go on a farm.
As vou see I have
not much practical experience, but have been reading ThE R. N.-Y.
for about 15 years, and think now by
applying that which I have been reading, I ought to make good.
I have the intention of buying a 300-acre farm in
Delaware Co., N.
• Y. with 75 head of cattle, for $16,000,
on which I could pay down $5,000, which is all I have, and the rest on I need to run mortare?
