Signs cfG Prosperous Farmer
i. When farmer is seen marry
ins young, it shows that Providence
help those who help themselves, and
that in future lie will have s'hclps
of more kinds than one.
,. When lights are seen burning
in his house before break of day, in
the winter especially, it shows that
the day will never break on his
"breaking' in The winter of advcr-
Sity.
3. When you see his barn larger
than his house, 1t shows that he will
have large profits and small alllic-
lions.
4. When you sec him driving-his
work, instead Of his work driving
him, it shows that he will never be
driven from good resolutions, and
that he will certainly work l.is way
toprosperty.
>. When You see in his house more
lamps for burning lard or grease, than
candlcsticks for more expensive pur-
pose, it shows that economy is light
ing his way to happiness and plenty,
with that light which should cniight-
an every farmer in the world.
8. When you always see in his
woodhouse a sufiiciency for three
days, ifnot more, it shows that he
will be more than 'ninty days Won
der in forming operations, and that
he is not sleeping in his house after
a drunken froiic.
7. When he has small house, sep
crate from the main building, pur-
poscly for ashes, and an iron or tin
vessels to transport them, it shows
that he never bllilt his dwelling to be
a funeral pile for his family, and per-
laps himself.
s. When his house is boarded in
side and out, it shows that he is ''go-
ing tue whole hog" in keeping plen-
ty inside of his house and poverty
out.
0. When his sled is housed in sum-
mcr and his farming implements COW
cred both in winter and summer, it
plainly shows that he will have
good house over his head in the sum
mCr of early life and the winter of
old age.
10. When his cattle are properly
and led in winter, it eviden-
css that he is acting according 10
the Scripture, which says that "a
merciful man is mcrciful to his
beasts"
II. When he is seen subscribing
for the newspaper, it shows that he is
speaking like book respecting the
latest Improvements in agriculture,
and that he will never get his walk
ing papers TO the land ofpoverty.
