THE CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS IN AGRICULTURAL
PURSUITS.
From the Country Gentleman.


From the Country Gentleman.
-, WISCONSIN, JAN. IL, 1861.
My DEAR SIR am afraid my friend -
has unwittingy led you astray on the subject of
my success as a farmer. 1t is true have a
farm, and have at different periods carried it
on, but have never lived on it. My mill is on
my farm, and in connection with my mill have
raised crops for fatting cattle and hogs, and
have raised flax to some extent for the seed
alone. making the seed into linseed oil in my
mill This l have done, hiring all my labor,
and furnishing teams and materials. But of
the real hard work, and watchful care, and self
denial, together with the untiring industry that
Of necessity belongs to the successful farmer l
am almost entirely ignorant. Except when a
farm is large and capital at command, consider
farming the most lahorious and the least profit
able of almost any branch of labor. If could
cultivate 1000 or 5000 acres of wheat, and
raise enough other crops for my own consump-
ton, and that of the farms then | might like
farming. But the man who makes his living
from 100 acres of land by cultivatng it as a
farm, of necessity lives hard life. 1t is hard
for the farmer, for he must make his profits by
his own labor, and be up early and late, leaving
no bioken rails in his fence for unruly cattle and
whatever is on hand at the end of the year, in
the shape of surplus from receipts over ex-
penses, will be found to have accrued by saw
ING-literal self-denial. 1t is hard for the wife
she too must labor, and she will see her de-
licious butter and savory cream gulped down
by unappreciative farm laborers, and sigh for
the poetry Of life which was so visible in the
distance before SHE tried farming. Don't think
of it! The life of the mechanic-the clerk, or
the day-laboring man is above and preferable
to it. Ispeak from what have seen and known.
Here in cur country town have seen it tried
by dozens who have been brought up and edu-
Gated to other means of living, but in no in
stance can | point to contented successful
farmer who was not educated from his yhood
to that most slayish of all lives, and who toll
from early dawn to dewy eve" and makes la
Dor his pleasure and sleep his only recreation.

The operations of the Ohio Generals are
not of that brilliant description.4if we ex-
cept calculated to asfonish
world. General Schenck has iinmortalized
himself by dumping his men out of railroad
cars into a masked battery and getting
them out of the scrape by marching up and
down the Ines with sword drawn, repeat
ing, with tragic air, "0hio, expects every
man to do his duty" General Cox, on the
KanaWha,. appears to be conducting affairs
on similar scale of grandson. Re has
succeeded, by a system of brilliant maneu-
vers, in sacrificing several men beforesa
masked battery, and In losing q let of Coll
onels, Captains, and Lieutenants, who prob
ably have been captured by the enemy or
killed
Indiana, hitherto has had only one Bri-
gadier in the field, but beis WORTH dozens of
such uafedged, Officers as Cox and Schenck
have proved themselves to be. Brigadier
General Morris has done more work than
any officer in the field, and has committed
no blunders. All of his operations have
been conducted with foresight, prudence,
and dispatch which are irresistible. The
surprise at PhiIippi, the march to Laurel
Hill, and the pursuit and capture of Garpett's
army, all stamp him as a first class military
officer, and he will undoubtedly take rank
with the very best Of orr American Gem
erals. Governor Morton; in placing Gener-
al Morris at the head of the Indiana volun-
teers, manifested judgment for which the
people of the State will give him great
credit.
We feel confident that Gen. Reynolds, the
newly appointed Brigadier General, will
also prove the right man in thesright place.
Educated at West Point, cool and thought
full, Gen. Reynolds will not be guilty of any
Great Bethel OF Vienna mistakes.
AS Indianians, we feel prond Of our troops,
and, as a general thing, proud OF our officers,
Indiana had better, we thipk. contract
with President Lincoln to crush the rebel
lion and close the war within = reasonable
length ef' time. At any rate, if he win
give Indiana apd Illinois the job of opening
the Mississippi to its mouth, and ehastising
the rebels in Memphis, Yicksburg, and New
Orleans, we guarantee that it will be done
quickly and completely With such men
as Indiana now has in the field, Gen. Free
mont would open navigation on the Father
of Waters in q very few months.
