The MosT INDEPENDENT MAN-There is no
man more independent than the owner of we'll cul-
tivated farm. He is less beholden to popular SEN
timent than any other calling He has always a
sure support before him without consulting the
opinions or relying upon the custom of any one
There is constant market for all the surplus he
can produce, and he obtains for it the current
price without any one demanding to know of him
his religious or political faith.
