LESSONS FOR FARMERS.
Mr. EpIroR,
The following is founded on fact and
with little variation is literally true.
Mr.. A. and Mr.. B. are Two farmers
living only eIghiy rods dis ant from each
olner.-Their farms each contain about
one hundred and twenty acres Of land,
being OF equal value.
Mr. A. manages his farm to sum mer
and winter twenty head Of cattle, and keep
them WE'LL and always has "a ton or two
OF good hay left in the spring. He rails
es about two hundred bushels of corn
il year, and about the same quantity of
English grain.
He and his two sons, the one twenty
and the other fourteen years Of age, per-
form all the work on the farm, as they
hold it fundamental principle not To
, hire any LABOR, uness something special
and unforeseen should render it absolute
ly necessary. Tins work is always done
in ,easan, and much time is gained,
which is spent in building stone walls
and making other valuable improve
me1,s on the farm. He never max es
any bluster about bis business, but al
way keeps steady course, beginning
early IN the morning, and finishing his
work in season at night. He says he
chooses to do his own work rather than
hire it done, for if he does il himself it
will he done as he wishes to have it, but
if he hires il done it will have to he paid
for; and there is the expense OF board
ing, which is something.
He says he is obliged to study econo-
my that he may keep along and gain a
little. He will not run in debt unless
necessity compels him SO to do, as he
thinks it is better for him to do without
thinas that would be convenient, but can
be dispensed with, than to buy them on
trust, and by and by be under the necessi-
ty of selling yoke Of oxen, or piece
Of land to pay his debts. He and his
sons drink no ardent splri, on any occa-
sion whatever, for they have learned by
experience that they can perform more
work and be more robust and hearty
without spirit than with il, and by alb
staining from the use Of it they save
enough at least 10 pay their taxes, be-
side the hazard Of consequences arising
from the force OF habit. Thus by pru.
dence and economy he is able TO nee,
all his demands, contribute literally To
the various benevolent objectsof,he day,
and add something to his permanent
fund beside.

political atmosphere Of Illinois, and be-
gins to dispe' the horrid nocturnal shades

solution OF almost all that is near and
