THE FARMERS.

A call for meeting of farmers in
the Odd Fellows Hall on Saturday last,
which was published in The WIG on
that and the previous Saturday, did
not, as far as we can ascertain, receive
a single response. Not farmer seemed
to have sufficient interest in plans TO
better his condition in the future, to
even attend the meeting and see what
would be proposed. If call was pub
lished for every farmer within a radius
of five miles of Elkton, to come in on a
certain day and receive S., the Hall
would be filed to overlooking in ten
minutes after the hour named had ar
rived. Now the call we refer to was a
call for every farmer to come and receive
what would be virtually many times
the value of s. to him. 1t was an
invitation to form union bv which the
experience of every man would benefit
his neighbor. 1t contemplated move
ment and closer union, which in the
future would add strength to the farm
ers as class, and dignity in their own
and the eyes of the community; and
the providing of a means of mutual
protection from the numerous frauds
and populations which the farmer is

KEEP ACCOUNTS.

At the commencement of the year is
the best time to open an account book.
Every man and woman, too. who con-
duets business, even though it be only
a small one, would feel the benefit of
keeping memorandum account of daily
transactions. The habit of keeping a
kind of account journal tends to create
system in business, and by the aid of
system any man or woman can double
the amount of effective work performed
in year, over slip-shod mode of pro-
cedure. We have heard farmers remark
that they, at some time in their lives,
had attempted to keep an account of
everything they received and all their
OUTLAWS on the farm, but the showing
was SO discouraging that they soon gave
it up, contented rather to plod along in
the dark, then facing their difficulties
learn how to mend them. We suspect
that much of this dissatisfaction was
the result of imperfect book keeping.
They were ready enough to charge
everything in full to the farm, but for
got to credit it with many gains and
advantages which, had they been school
ed by life in town or city, they would
have discovered required the outlay of
a considerable sum to purchase.
A properly kept journal aud account
or memorandum book, would be of more
real benefit to a farmer than man in
almost any other business. The trans
actions on farm are unlike the occur
rences in other kind of business. They
are not of daily routine, but the same
processes are to be repeated but once in
a whole year, and then they are subject
to many variations and changes, caused
by time and the infrequency of occur
renee in similar classes of transactions.
If minnie of last years business was
convenient to refer to- many difficulty
would be got over with much greater
ease, and many small expenses avoided
which, in the aggregate, amount to con-
siderable sum. Let every man who has
the control of any business keep care
full account book, which will show every
transaction. A few minutes every day
or every other day will suffice, and the
advantage at the years end, as well as
the satisfaction, will be rich remunera-
ton for the trouble

EDUCATION.

On our first page we publish most
interesting article on education, which
we recommend to the careful perusal of
every reader of THE WING Apropos,
while on the subject of education, we
will quote what a Melbourne cores
pondent says about educated folks on
the Pacific continent, who despise labor
ing with their hands.
"The inclination to push boys into
higher positions than their fathers filled
is as strong here as anywhere, and is
more easily gratiied than in England.
We make our own lawyers and doctors
very cheaply, and every year sees for
midable addition to their numbers
Men who can write good hand and do
nothing else are always drug in the
market, and continually drift to Mel
bourne, hoping that work will be found
for them, and are miserably disappoint-
ed Those who are ready, but not ac-
customed, to work with their hands, and
willing to be hired as servants if need
be, will not be long before they carr
good wages, but persons too delicate or
too fastidious for any but genteel en-
ployment may get none if they have
no special knowledge and nothing but
their responsibility to recommend them"
The United States might be substi-
tuted for Australia and any of our large
cities for Melbourne, and the picture
could not be recognized as other than
home view Of genteel work and false
education. While there is profitable
work waiting for tens of thousands to
do, where competency and even fortunes
could be had by frugal saving, thous-
ands go hungry and wretcbed through
life, because they are educated in false
notions of what constitutes gentility.
1t is putting MIND into honest labor
which makes it respectable. This fact
is suddenly lost sight of under our false
system of society, and tens of thous-
ands of victims are suffering through
this gigantic wrong. When will our
philanthropists be able to overcome this
great evil, and give every department
of labor the benefit of educated minds
to direct trained hands? The attempt
to live in fashion considered genteel,
which is to live without honest work,
except of certain specified kinds, such as
clerkships, professions" driving sew
ing machines, etc.,-which departments
are over-crowded-has filled the country
with every grade of thieves. Those
who live by their Wits" as it is famil-
iarly termed, which is constant schem-
ing to getsomething for nothing, are vir-
tually thieves, let the world and society
estimate them as they may, by the false
standards of morality set up and follow
ed SO universally at the present time :;
and the philosophy which divides honest
labor into classes of high and low degree,
or genteel and not respectable, is false
and ruinous teacher.

subject to in his business 1t had in
contemplation the elevation Of the tone
Of society ameng the farming classes,
which would foster pride for the
independent and honorable pursuit they
are employed in, and substitute content
ment for repinng and dissatisfaction
cultivated manners for boorishness and
ignorance, which their isolated condition
engenders to such deplorable extent.
Such gains as these, which, to be sure,
would require effort and time to accom-
piish, but which would be sure to follow
such an organization properly conducted
and encouraged would be worth in hard
cash many times s., besides the many
other solid advantages which would
flow from the cultivation of business
and social relations among the farmers
CASH IN ADvANCE.-We notice by our
exchanges and printers publications, that
the fashion is growing throughout the coun-
try for newspapers to exact cash in advance
for subscriptions. 1t is a great advantage
to publishers, to whom many small sums
make large aggregate, and it is no hard
ship to any subscriber to pay in advance,
the sum for a single subscription is so very
small. Advanced payment for subscrip-
tions is both advantageous to publisher and
the honest subscriber The publisher gets
clear of dead beats who devour his sub
stance, and is enabled by having his cash
in hand to purchase his materials at the
lowest price and devote all of his time to
the work of improving the paper, in place
of wasting it looking after delinquent sub
scribers. Every subscriber, by moments
reflection, will see that it is an advantage
all round 10 pay in advance, and yet num-
bers of honest subscribers evince a great
deal of reluctance to do SO, and wish their
paper to run year or two before paying
up; and then they are careful to pay only
up to the date of tho paper. How is it
that as business men they reject the funda-
mental principles of business? The less
credit is used in all retail business, the
more advantageous it will prove to both
parties concerned. Owing to the neglect
of this little business maxim, more than
half the distress so complained of is fairly
attributable.

The Iron BUSINESS LOOKING UP.-
Business shows signs of improvement that
hold out a fair promise for the ensuing
season. Railroad securities at the West
seem 10 be advancing in price; there is an
extensive inquiry there for steel rails; the
money rates are declining, tho amount of
unemployed capital increasing, while the
trade reports show a fair business for the
year. The New England mills ale more
active, and the iron trade is reported to be
looking up in Ohio and Indiana. From
the general terror of the reports we infer
that the railroads have now held off So
long with their purchases of iron and steel
rails and rolling stock, on account of the
embarrassments incident to the revulsion.
that necessity is now compelling a resump-
ton of their orders, an item of sufficient
magnitude to give general impulse to the
trade throughout the country. We infer
this from the activity of the rolling mills
at the West. The confident tone of bust
ness of all kinds at Chicago, st. Louis and
other leading points, is calculated to induce
a belief that the Western railroad move
ment is about to take a fresh start of some
kind during the ensuing season. The open
ing Of new iron works indicates firmness
and general confidence in the future of the
trade.-N0rth american and United stat

ABATEMENT IN THE SCARLET FEVER
EPIDEMIC. We have the authority of one
of our physicians who has an extended
practice in the statement that the scarlet
fever epidemic among the children is now
abating. There has been visible decline
in the old cases, and but few new ones are
reported. AT one time, however, it is be-
heved that there We're several hundreds of
cases i'll the city. Our informant alone had
twenty seven patients, and he is of the
opinion that others had equally as many if
not more. Another physician had ten
cases in single house in !Iedgeville. But
notwithstanding the prevalence Of the dis
ease there have been comparatively few
fatal cases, and it is a cause for thankful
ness that the abatement has begun before
the epidemic assumed a virulcnt form.
