Of interest TO al tllers ofthe land who have an
easy and cheap transmission TO markets i is, Of
course, the existence Of such markets. There
must be markets There must ke markets Of
sale, Of consumption Why will man tod to

Of bis own family, unless somebody will
buy the surplus which he has 10 eel, and BY
which, therefore, he may be able 10 buy else
| where what lie cannot raise or bis own farm

is paramount object to al agriculturalist who
cultivate rich soils, beneath kindly skies and a
warming sun. and who raise m0re than neoes-
sary IN order to the snstenaiion Of life. Il IS
absolutely indispensable. DO not say that i
