PROFITS OF FARMING. /.

Al an agricultural meeting in Massachusetts,
recently some remarks were made by MIR. CAL
Hovs, Of Springfield, on the profits Of farming as
compared with other pursuits. The conclusion
arrived at was that farmers On the average suc-
ceeded better than merchants I that if by way Of
experiment, one hundred men should 20 into a city
and trade, and one hundred goeto farming, at the
end oftwenty years the one hundred farmers would
be worth the most money Mr.. Calhoun referred
to some facts statistical and other. u. show the
risks of mercantile busibess, and added, With re.
gard to agriculture: Z
Here is foundation that may be built on with
more certainty than any other. Yet Young men
are rushing into cities 10 make their fortunes
Il Is allimportant that the facts which have here
been stated, now and at former meetings, should
be deeply impressed on young minds Mr.. Brooks
SAYS 10 per cent. may be made On capital by any
diilgentand systematic.farmer. The Hon. John
Lowell said Is per cent Alllihis may be done
BY farming intelligently. He had wondered that
farmers generally could get along 50 well as they
actually do in their careless mode Of farming
For himself, be had regained his own health By
farming. The fresh open air had restored him.
He repeated his pleasure on hearing the numer-
Gus statements Of the profits that may be made in
this business. One more consideration should
heve much weight. II had been truly stated by
his venerable friend from Framngham. Major
w heeler5 that this business naturally leads the
mind % contemplation, and to gratitude to the Ru-
Ier Of the Universe, to whom farmers feel OBLIGED
70 look for = blessing on their hbors. No occu-
patton so directly leads the mind t. reflection on
the works Of creation All that We -, 1-:.t -
