Farming "A Profitable Ru.,n...

Whether farming as a business is a. profit,
able as some other bra inches of industry i a
question admitting of some 5oubl. but tina;
it is fairly remunerarlva besides being less
subject 10 those fluctuations which bring dis
astrous results in other Callings, has lone
been settled beyond a doubt. OF course we
are not al this time taking into consideration
those regions liable 20 severe droughts or to
be overrun By noxioUs insects, but the better
portions OF the country where agriculture Is
s stable and well established pursuit
The principal cause Of complaint among
our farmers Is the small amount in money
they are able 70 obtain from the sale of pro
duets of their labor. in other words. the
amount o: cash they have he pleasure OF

handling during the year. They frequently
point to the mechanics y! our cities, or even
the clerks in stores and various Offices,
whose salaries appear 70 be entirely out OF
proportion to the work performed or talents
required, as proof OF UNI just Discrimination
made in remuncrating labor casual

to- believe that the former was really unnec.
essarily high, or the latter ridiculously low
1t is this seeming difference which makes so
many young men and women in the country
strive to get into the cities; it also makes
their parents feel that they, too, are cheated
ost of their rights in selling the products oil
their farm at less than city retail prices
There are, however, two sides to this question,
and it is well not to decide hastily in regard
to which is the most favorable without Know
ing something OF both
If wages are higher in the city than in the
country, the cost of living is in proportion
and there is no way of escaping It, II may
sound very well for carpenter or mason TO
receive four dollars day, but II he has TO
pay two of it for house rent he is no better
off than the country mechanic who receives
only three and pays one for an equally good
and perhaps better house. Then, again,
where rents are high other necessaries of life
are usually IN proportion; consequently 1t is
not the amount Of money men receives for
his labor, but what he can save, which brings
a competency Now, if we take the mass Of
trades people, mechanics and other iaborers
Of our cities, and the poorer class OF farmers
and inquire infinitely into the circumstances
of each, the latter will be found far the more
independent OF the two. A farmer who can
save one or two hundred dollars per annum
after providing for the support of his family
is doing better than nlne-tenths OF the resi-
dents of our cities who have an income OF
from three to five thousand dollars per an
mum. Then, again, farmer who works up
on his own land is constantly accommodating
wealth, even is he cannot show a balance IN
cash at the end Of the year, because every
tree planted, ditch dug, fence built or field
cleared enhances the value OF his real estate
These are so much capital laid aside for the
future, which, If rightfully managed, will
bring as good interests as though invested in
government bonds.
We have only to take the proportions of
men both city and country who are really in
independent circumstances, that is, capable
of supporting themselves and their families
without the fear Of want staring them in the
face should anything happen to prevent th0m
from laboring or attending to business in or
der to see how much superior farming is to
other ordinary occupations. II is not pur-
suit provocative OF riotous living but one
that is safe from disastrous fluctuations caus-
ed by panics in monetary affairs 1t is said
that about per cent. OF those who attempt
business in cities succeed but it is doubtful
if there are five farmers in hundred who fail
to make good living provided they are Intel
ligent and industriOus.-N. 7. Sun.

has set in motion the springs. goers, and
rev the roads will be busy. The baggage
masters will have no idle time, and room
clerks will have to study how TO please, aod
guests as patiently how to be pleased. Inc
virtue of concession and the indispensable
necessity of compromise will betully proved
at the springs. But under all circumstances
| there can be no question that the air, Inc
temperature, the scenes, and the mineral Wa
tiers of the mountains will prove indescrba-
bly pleasant to all who have the time and
the means to enjoy them. We should not
omit the Understanding Influences OF
cheerful society and new and pleasant .ac-
quaintances upon TIE physical and mental
constitutions. Those who have enjoyed these
things would be like prisoners at home at this
painting season.
Internationally the summer custom OF
fashionable conventions at the springs has
fine effect upon communities, while it does
good in distributing wealth through the
country. The common carriers" prom
largely by it, and they best study their own
interests when sffordng every facility which
comfortable and cheap means can give to
travel. In this way they increase the
number of passengers immensely, and
thus, by reducing the individual cost TO
the traveller, increase the aggregate amount
on account of passenger fares. A very sa'u"
tary effect of this-one gratifying to the be-
nevoent-is that lessening the cost OF travel
enables mipy to erIog new scenes and at
mospheres who would else stay at home,
and among these are many ihValids who
would thus find " balm in Gilead" which
would heal their sufferings.
In Virginia We might have better arrange

this matter a little. They might at least do
