THB AGRICULTURAL LAHOURIR AS A
TARIM.

Mr. J. J. Meal, in the Mark Lase Rxpros, writes
flees ie one clays of mall farmer to cc001..1
example to evEry larzo or smell I Wean the
agricultural labourer, who purchases • .m.ll pig for a
pound. Iced', it for a Vine in sa,tlen nod bourn referee,
and then (strong it with throe sack, of barley•meol,
thus hierrasing its vale from LI to Li. or more. In
feet, cube probably only holds shoat 20 red• of ground
—ono-eight of en awe, more or less—lie thee mak%
£2l worth ..f mat per acre, and works a eacitol in
live steak of £32 per sere. As he Out, makes stout
eight times a. much meat es tbe average of farmers.
he ben tight times no much maser*, and, iherefors•
aided by his deep spack.eultivation, produees great,
frrgnet t, and varlous crop... We moue of no keep
scough lire stock fed on something not the growth
of our land. The cottager sells his pig (keeling the
ff al for himself), sod then rays for the bsrley-meal
which be gets from the miller no ',Wit.. Ask him,
and he will toll you 'hat hii object is to bane manure
for his garden, for without it, he cannot expect ir
get abundant and profitable crops. 1 ern decidedly
of opinion that • firm eon iietreely be too large or
too small where from £5 to LIO worth of meat is
med. annulilly per nore, cod where • tenant capitol
of £2.0 or more per sere is invested."

THE PHILOSOPHY OF GETTING MONEY.
Writing to the Pall Mall Gaulle, Mr. John Rudd'
nay. MIMI it one., with your permission, solemnly
deny the insidiosity of my question, " Where dere the
rich man get Lis means of living!' I don't myself sae
how a more straightforward question onuld he pmt! So
crsightferward, ineeed. that I particularly dislike
making • msrtyr of myself in answering it, as I moat,
this bleared day—a martyr, at least. in the way of
witness. Well, forth, point in gelation ttsitn, as to
teems@ of Uric:: t the most exemplary manner of answer
I. simply to state how I got my own, or rather how
my father got th.tm for me. He sod his partet•
entered into what your correagoodent aselliflnualy styl. a
"• mutually Itenefioent psrtnerebip " with cartuia
Isbouters in Eosin. The.e labourers produced front
the earth annually • esrtain number of bottles of wine.
These Foductione were cold by my father and hie
partner., who kept ninatertbs, or thereabouts, of ths
price themselves, and gave onatcoth or thereabouts,
to the labourer.. In which state of "mutual borne-
oenee" my father end his parteers naturally became
rich, and the labourers as naturslly remained pr.
Then my good father gave all his matey to
ass (who never did a s'roke of work in my If, worth
my melt, not to mention my dinner), and so far
from finding his money "grow" in my bands. I never
try to bly anything with it but peopls tell to. "mousy
Isn't what it was in your father's time ; evorything is
so mush dearer." I should be heartily glad to learn
from your oorrespendent as much peanuts,' botany as
will enable me to sot my moony agrowing; and in the
meantime, as I have thus given • quite indubitable
keenest of my notions of the way money is made, will
he be so kind at ts give no • living example of &rich
gentleman who kas made hie money by saving an
equal pulion of profits; in some mutually beneficent
partnership with ills labourers.
