Young Men and the Farm.

Before asking Farmers Son" few ques-
tons that may be OF use to himself and others,
let me beg Of him to get rid of the idea of men
and women being slaves. God intended that
all should earn their bread by the sweat OF
their brow This he will find to be the case II
he would succeed in any occupation. His COM
plant Of want Of time for study is admirably
answered by the remark of late traveller and
missionary in Africa who has attracted much
notice in Europe lately. He says that until he
was II he had to work in cotton-mill 10 assist
his mother and educate himself, and that while
at work he studied Latin, &c, &C., proving
thereby in such cases as "Farmer's Son" re-
fers to, that "where there is a will there is
way"
Now to the que tons, --Iov many acres are
in the farm : how many are cultivated how
far are you from the market9 how many sons
are there 10 cultivate the farmi have you ever
thought or looked about you to see in what
way you could make your fathers farm (old
mans farm is too grossly disrespectfuD yield
twice as much as 1t does now have you ever
thought that If you can make one COW yield
so dellars per annum, you get the interest
without any risk, Of $1,000, and If your farm
will support 20 cows, you have more than an
average income on $4,000 cash and no risk :
II the hive is too small you must swarm. !
know Of no business so likely to succeed, or Is
at this moment more wanted, than good far
mers; IL they are honest, careful of their tools
and thoroughly understand their business, they
viii not be like most young men who leave the
farm for cities, ruined or broken hearted for
want Of employment Should they take wife
with them, who thoroughly understands the
work Of farm, is cleanly and willing, they
will be all the more welcome.
