One of the robbers, with the design of
cheating his fellows, returned to the

four miles distant, and proceeded about

Making Money by Farming.

A shrewd writer has given two rules,
heretofore mentioned occasionally in these
columns, by following which, any one
may acquire more or less wealth, namely
1. Cut short your .losses;;"' and 2, !: Let
your profits run on.'' There d. no kind
of business where the adoption of these
rules is more. needed, than in farming;
but there are many cultivators who do not
know when they are losing and when they
are gaining, The great requisite for
success, therefore, is to determine this
vital point. We know the owner of a
small farmland, doubtless. every reader
may know Of an additional Sone who
thought he was gradually adding TO his
property. But he kept no accounts with
his farm, and did notebook over his nS4
creditors. Before he was prepared for it,
his creditors came upon him with claims
which he could not, meet, and days were
consumed In examining his whereabouts.
He discovered that had, gone to sea
without compass Or log book. Some of
his operations or crops had been prUftai
BILE, and others had been losses or failures:
Leaving allte gaess-wofk, he forgot the
losses and remembered the profits. Had
he known precisely how to discrimihate
one from the other, he could have adopted
the comp fekehsive rules Just cited, to cut
short his,loeses, and let his pfofitsrun On.

been open already exceed the whole mum
Der Of pay admissions to the Vienna

number than z, 229, 1926.
For the other Exhibitions, unfortunate
ly, we have not the same data to make
comparisons. But the whole number of
hibition of 1851 was 6,O39, 195 in al days.
Our Exhibition already exceeds that by
more than q million. The aggregate adj
missions of all kinds to the Paris Exhibi-
ton of 1855 was 5,162, $50 in 200 days.
Our admissions already exceed that by
nearly two millions. The aggregate num-
bers of all kinds attending the London
Exhibition of 1862 were 6,211 ,1O3 in III

in less than half a million Of those figures
now, and our aggregate exceeds it by near

At the Paris Exhibition of 1857 the
whole number of admissions of all kinds
was reported at 8, 500, 800, during q period
of 217 days. The Centennial admissions
for 1876 days are 1855 or, of which, as
before stated, 5,722, 448 were OF paying
visitors. There seems to be no reasonable
room for doubt that the returns for the %
remaining exhibition days after Oct. IA
will add million and three quarters to
the aggregate of paying visitors, and q
quarter of q million to the others, thus
making over nine millions in all for 1853

when he gets in very tight place, he
