At the present time, when trade, com

The time was when farmers were tie

They knew not the burden OF deot. and

but every year witnessed some improve
ment. Barns were filled in Autumn with
fair harvests, and In Winter with stock.
The gain from these afforded comforta-
bic living. Although the work was hard.
it was healihful. There was little of the
wearing. anxious care and wild excite
ment which fill the days and nights OF the
modern man OF business. II wealth was
lot gained, comfort and plenty was.
II would almost seem that these occa-
sional seasons OF hard TIMES, are ordered
Tor the purpose OF sending back to the
country from crowded town and city, and
the over-full ranks of profession and trade,
the many failures and wrecks which strew
the paths OF city life.
The present seems a favorable oppOr-
tunity for every man out of business, 10
turn his attention to the farm. IL is the
best and most profitable business done.
The indications are that Tor mouths, to
come, all bread-stuh> and products of the
farm will be in demand and bring renum-
erative prices. The rumors of war have
already caused an advance, and If war
should come in the East. there can be no
doubt that provisions will rule high for
months to come.
Let every man therefore for his own in
terest. in this promising year for bountiful
harvests pay more attention than ever be-
fore 10 his farm.
