A BETTER Glass or LABoR NEEDED on
THE FARM---We are sorry TO see 30
many farmers sons leaving the farm
and accepting some inferior place in city
or village, under the impression that
farm work is low business, fit only for
an ignorant and low class OF laborers,
reckless, shiftless, aud OF no care or
thought in farm management and econ
omy.
In England, Scotland aud Ireland,
, there are a large number Of young men
farmers sons, brought up TO understand
thoroughly the business OF farming in
all its departments. They go out an
farm managers, but few Of them come
to this country. There ~ demand
here for men. We have constant in
quiries for farm managers, men who can
take charge OF farm, who understand
oil its details and are TO be trusted. -
, The salary offered is often considerable
but they are not easily found. Could
wo raise farmingto to profession, and in
duce our young men to engage in it,,
as science, great advantages would
result to them and the country at large,
We have an example of this in Prussia;
she has recently startled tho world by
springing to the first rank among the
t continental powers OF Europe. In coun-
: ting upon the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of Prus-
: sia, the States she has annexed, and tho
Q number OF men she can put under arms,
D people forget the real force and true
y grandeur OF n nation. Taking the ad-
/; vantage Of an uninterrupted peace OF fif-
0 ty years, Prussia has developed her ag-
8 rlculture, drained her marshes, brought
: vast tracts OF fertile lane under cultiva.
