The Profits Of Farming.

We have occasionally heard the remark
that farming is poor business, and nothing
can be made at it. This idea, perhaps, is
as prevalet among farmers themselves as
among any other class of citizens. We are
ready to admit that farming, as it is carried
on by many persons, is frequently unproIit-
able but we think this result may generally
be attributed to a want Of skill, judgment or
MEANS on the part of farmer, rather than
any fault of the business itself 1t requires
more knowledge and judgment to be first
rate farmer than it does to carry on success
fully some other kinds of business. The
merchant who should commence business
with very imperfect knowledge of the val
ue Of the articlcsiu Which he is to deal-who
should conduct his business without system,
ana Keep no account of profit or loss,
could not reasonably be expected to succeed ;
and yet there are many who conduct their
farming analogous to this and is it strange
that such should complain because greater
success does not attend them? The wonder
is that under such bad management, and
with so poor system, rather no system at
all, so few fill in farming, and that the fail
ures are no worse. The farmer who works
to disadvantage--who has hold of the short
arm of the lever--who has not the means to
purchase stock and implements thathe needs,
or to procure the manures or the labor that
he mi ght find proftable-who is obliged to
buy his supplies on credit, and sell his pro-
duce when it brings the least price--is not
fayorably situated to realize the greatestpro-
fit from any business.
Theintelligent, enterprisng, prudentfarm
er, who has sufficient capital, and who
manages his business correcly, finds farming
as safe as any other business, and reasona-
bly, profitable. We do not expect any one to
grow suddenly rich by farming; but we do
think that agriculture offers just reward to
industry, knowledge and skill, and that farm
ing may be termed a profitable business
1t will not be disputed that the best managed
farms yield good profit to their owners and
if others are rot alike profitable, the fault in
great degree, should be attributed to those
who manage them. Maine Farmer.

Book Farming.

1t is amusing to hear some wise people
talk about the popular bug bear of " Book
Farming" They would have us believe that
the farmer is the last one who is to derive
any advantage from the press, and the first
to repudiate all innovations upon the time
sanctitied customs of the past. Experience,
they tell US, is the best teacher; and they
choose to take experience as their guide,
carefully abstaining from the use of either
books or paper, lest the recorded experience
of others should disturb the equanimity of
their DIS, or cast a shade of suspicion on
the lnfallibility ofpast generations A very
intelligent friend of ours, one who is an ex-
ceptlon to the general rule, the other day con-
|ceded the fact, that those who, like himself,
have gathered wisdom from long and a
successful experience, they are bound to
they have learned. 1t is exactly So
And this lets us into the grand secret of all
his book farming. The press, in one way
and another, records the discoveries and
Experiences Of men, for the benefit of others
and he who is too wise in his own conceit,
to read has the inestimable privilege, in this
free country, offalling in the rear of that nu-
merous company who do read and are de-
termined to understand. But--and here let
us be explicit--he who reads without exerci-
sing his own judgment, will make sorry
business of farming or anything else. No
calling requires more thought than that of
the agriculturist And hence we should ad-
dress ourselves to the pleasurable task of de-
veloping the vast resources of mind, that we
may, by such instrumentalities develop the
inexhaustable riches of the soil

A Seasonable Hint.

As the cold season is at hand, and econo
my in fuel is subject ofsome importance, il
may be well tn mention a very simple way
of shutting out the cold from our dwellings
and thereby adding much to the comfort d
home. Those who are annoyed by the clat'
ter of windows when the mercury is conSid'
erably below zero, and by current Of aiI
sufficiently strong TO turn good sized wind
mill, can easily obtain re lief by attending
to the following directions. Procure shil

ness, on the outer edges; so that it will be
entirely out of sight---return the sash to its
place, and your job is done. BY this simple
process almost any room may be rendered
delightfully."- warm, and the wife and children
remarkably pleasant. Try it.

What is a year? IT'S but breath
From Times old nostrils blown,

We hear his weary moan.
IT'S like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn,
As transient as the mists of morn
Beneath the summer sun.

PAUL COLLINS
NJ OU S I AC H L.!

1t was ten O'Clock at night, and Mr.. Paul
Codlins had not vet come home He had
only gone as far as Ravensoake, to look al
some land, which was to be offered for sale
the next morning, and he expressly told
his wife that he should be back by the quar-
ter past nine train. Any one acquainted
with the locality will doubtless remember that
the village of Ravensoake is about twenty
one miles from the village of Bubbleton, and
Mr.. Paul Codins' house lies N. N. w., about
aquarter of mile from Bubbleton Station,
so that he could easily have walked home il
he had come by the quarter past nine train
and yet ten o'clocla had struck and he had
not arrived His little wife began to be
alarmed. The fact is, there had been a
slight quarrel that very morning They had
only been married four months, and it was
their first disagreement. She was almost
afraid it was their last 1t was the merest
trife to quarrel about to be sure; but that
stupidPau persisted in growing moustache,
and it made him look quite a fright; and nc
man had a right to wear a moustache unless
he was in bhe army, and Paul was not even
in the Bubbleton troop Of yeomanry. But
what made Paul so vexed was, that Mrs
Codlins expressed firm conviction, that
excepting military men, no one wore the hail
ON their upper lip except swindlers and mu
sic-sellerS, upon which Mr.. Paul, without
another word, departedt to Ravensoake; anC
the clock was actually now striking eleven
and he had not come back. t5'4 a .lfaaI
She took up a newspaper, and attempted
to read, but the first paragraph her eyes fel
on,a police case, in which u ruffianly- -lookina
fellow was charged with deserving his wife
and ten small children, and leaving then
chargeable to the parish. She laid the pa
perdown hastily; it was too horrid to think
about. Codlins was certainly not ruffianly
looking fellow, and they had not ten small
children but could he desert her, and leave
her chargeable to the parish of Bubbleton
No! he never would, she was sure. He
loved her well. He never could emgratC
without her. If she had only some one tc
speak to until Paul came home for she was
sure he would come back) perhaps it might
keep these unpleasant thoughts from hel
mind; but no one liyed within half amile
and there WIS no one butthe servants in the
houses and one of themwas deaf. $500 BOA
Twelve, onebtwo and three o'clo6k struck,
and still Paul was in absent man. she had
