The first Book of Chronicles.
knew some half dozen farmers, who lived
in sparsely settled part of the West who
farmed in the good old way, with grubbing-
hoe and spade. Farmer N-k, who set
tied on a very pleasant place, the soil thin and
dry, by economy and industry, soon became
wealthy. Farmer S-y, who settled on
very hard stoney place. had some very good
advantages, and be worked for some time in
the same way, but lived principally from those
who called to see him. Farmer F.-t set
tied in one of the most fertile vallies in the
west, and on the banks of PLEASANT river,
who's waters, flowing gently along the valley,
mingled with the great waters, and was suti-
cient for carrying off all the grain that he
could raise on his productive farm. Farmers
P--g and Ne, settled on noble
river, who's waters, they said, were sufficient
to watt the largest class of Steam boats, but
soon became jealous of each other, for fear
one might get some advantage over the other.
Farmer To lived down this noble river,
and had a great many ups and downs, in con-
sequence of the many names his neighbors
called him and the fact that he was some
what in their way.
Now farmer s., who had lived for a long
time by digging with his hoe and spade, come
20 the conclusion that he would buy himself a
team to farm with. At first he bought ve-
nv cheap team, for he had little more enter
prise than his neighbors, WHO told him that i
he run in debt for team to plow with, he
could not pay for it in his lifetime. But he
said he would try the experiment, and he has
found it very profitable; for he has grown rich,
while his neighbors have remained poor. He
has sold off small parcels of his farm to stran-
gers, and is now farming on a larger scale
and has some hundred teams.
Now farmer T., after seeing how his neigh
Dor S, was going ahead in his way of farm
ing, he said to himself that he would try the
same thing. He done so, and has become as
rich as s, and gone far ahead Of P. and NJ
And now neighbor F. has some notion Of
going into farming in like manner, but farmer
S. has become very jealous of F., for fear that
he will bring some goods into market that will
reduce his trade, and is telling the children OF
F., that if their father goes into their mode Of
farming, that they-the children of F.-will
be run into debt so deep that it will ruin them
and their children. And neighbor P. is very
much alarmed for the welfare of the children
Off. and they are shedding CrOckOdile tears,
over the downfall of F.
Now farmer T. has been very prosperous,
and done full better than farmer S. Now
farmer T says to farmer F., you will try to
buy yourself team, and farm with US, we will
change works with you and help you along
with your heavy blowing, until you can farm
in the same way that am doing Now far
mer N. says to his neighbors F. and T. if you
will agree and let me take hold with you.
we will buy a team that will plow for all the
new corners, and carry them from neighbor to
neighbor, until the whole country is in good
state of cultivation, Now farmers N, F. aud
