CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Dec. M.-Iiciorc nnotler
isst1o Of THE TRIBUNE shall greet Its thousands
OF readers, the year 1877, and nil It's hopes and
aspirations. Will have bccn burictl In the past
It will do us but little good to mourn over tho
lost opportunities whtcl, 1t. at ono timc or al.
other, pscsented to us, for that viii not bring
them buck again. Nc muy, however, profit
from the Lessons 1t has taught us, aud which We
would do weli to heed. We should devote
littlo tltno In considering tho mistakes we havc
made In tho past, aud resolve never to mako
them over again. This Is proflttng by past cx-
pcriencc, which, IN most Cages, las cost us all
morc or less. The man wlU does not dcrfve
bcuc1t from his lossct BY avoiding tho like In
the future. Is but llst1c better than fool. VIC
should carefully consider wi,at has been the
MOST PROFITABLE cRof TO RAISE;
and, II there Is likely to bo q good market for
1t again, We should plant 1t another scason. It
Ia not we'll, however, to risk oil on ono crop.
Hctter ilvlde up tho farm into smaller lots,
aud plant variety. It q thing Is ,ikuly to he
oTcrdoue, don't rush into It blInliy. Dccauac
the Turko Russian war created demand for
cnrtr!dgcA, no one ntlyscs manufacturers to 20
to making them on lnrge scale In llnpcs oI fu-
md tic mauutact1.rcr would bo left With his
stock on hand. 10 It Is in growing crops on The
iartn. High prices always bring oycrpruductl0n,
and then comcs reaction OF prices. We
llavcn't doubt but that next season wheat
will bo lower than Il has been for years, unless
aouto acrident-Auch as rust, cnuch.bugs, or the
Ncsslan Ay--slould be!ail the crop oil over tf!c
whcat-producin0 region simultaneously. Thia
Is tlle result OF high prices and good erops
stimulating every farmer to put tn moFo wheat.
WITH THE NEW YEAR
VIC ought TO start of at pcnco With oil our
ne!ghtors: It Is, perhaps, Impossible to get
difficulty. Farmers, from their peculiar situa-
ton, arc more liable to little l[lfescnces than
men In any other profession. Tho ncrcr-scttlcd
questions which aro nfways arising over roatls,
schools, fences, deprodations OF tsock, etc., arg
prolt1c sources OF aCgravatlon, and cannot well
bc avoided; hut wc may do much to prevent
their recurrence. Whcru difficulties arlsc. in
stead Of rushing away to Justico~oi-ihc' pcace
or . lawyer to 6cRtn lawsat, We should eall
IN tho offender and try to udjust the difficulty
aInicably. ii that caa.,ot bo done, count well
tho cost before you beg'u lawsuit. We hayo
