STICK TO YOUR FARMS.

The life of farmer is not an easy one.
but when we look around and see the
wrecks of fortune made on every hand
by men engaged in other pursuits, the
farmer has cause to be thankful if lie
can support his family and give his
children a good common education. 1t
has been stated that during the last half
century only four merchants, in the city
of New York, out of every hundred have
succeeded in making their business
profitable. The unsuccessful ones have
managed, in many cases, to continue in
business for years after they had become
bankrupt according to their books; but,
of course, finally had to succumb to
their fate. These men, while living in
good style, and many luxuriousIy, have
carried continually a load of care that
no farmer ever experienced; and when
the time came that their business must
be wound up, their condition generally
has been of poverty, and utterly broken
down in spirits. A few recover and
resume business again; but the majority
are pushed aside to make room for
Others, eventually to follow in their
footsteps and end their lives in misery
and despair
Farmers, be contented. You may not
be able to lay up money; but if you can
pay for your farms and live comfortably.
envy not the condition of those engaged
in other pursuits. To thos@ farmers who
are out of debt, and own good farms,
need | say that the apparently wealthy
bankers of Wall street might well envy
your lot. Nearly every week some one
of these firms. owing millions ofdollars,
explodes. and its members sink into pow
erty and obscurity; but the farmer who
is out of debt owns a bank that can |
never fail, inasinuch as seedtime and
harvest are promised unto the end of
time.
A word to farmers sons: If~your |
fathers own good farms which are not |
mortgaged, don't all abandon your
homes. One of you, at least, should re-
main to carry on the farm when your
fathers lease of life has expired. You
might possibly do better in some other
business, but you had better not risk a
change-N Y Observer.
