COoD ADVICE.

The Lawrence Journal, afser a care
ful estimate of the average success of
professional aAd business men, closes
BY saying: Looking the whole ground
ever, there Is no employment which
for the amount of capital used affords
such safe, reliable, and in the long
run remuneratiye investment as farm
ing. Ninety-nine farmers out of n
hundred who should invest the money
they have in their farms in merchan-
dising. would fail and lose every cent
of IL In less than three years. On the
other hand, let two men OF equal in
dustry and ability invest each ten
thousand dollars, the one in farming
and the other In business as q mer-
chant; let each exercise the same
shrewtlness, vigor and energy in push
ing his avocation, and at the end OF
ten years we would choose the farmers
gains every time.
So far as our knowledge of men
goes, both in this and other localities,
the above conclusion Is correct. And
it has an important lesson for many
yeung men right here in Emporia.
They have little capital, except good
health and intelligence. They cannot
get more than a mere living from one
years end to the other. They have
got their lives before them, and are
anxious TO ''get start" and become
men of property and infiuenee-or if
they are not DESTROYS of this they
ought to be- Bnt somehow or other
they don't seem to get along very
we'll, and are greatly dissatisfied with
the town, and the times, and the
scarcity of good wages, and money.
Now our advice to these young men.
is to go to farming, right here in Lyon
county. There is no better section of
the state, on the whole, for crops, for
fruit, for cattle. Land and farms now
are as cheap and easily obtained as they
viii be. No man succeeds permanently
in any avocatien without many years
OF hard work, economy, and what is
just as necessary as both, skillfnl man
agement. These three qualities, made
use of In farming, will be moro certain
to establish man on a successful f.
nancial basis, than in any other line of
business. Every able bodied man
among us-no matter how little capital
he has-can become farmer, and pay
for and own farm if he sets eut to,
works for it, and uses discretion. care
and good judgment. We say to doz-
ems OF young men in Emporia, and to
some not so young but who have got
many years of health and capacity to
work before them-go to farming, and
stick to it.
