The Farmer and His Money.

The farmers who "lifted"the mort
cages from their farms during the
flush times caused by the war were
the fortunate ones; while those who
went into debt have generally failed.
In view of the prosperity of the farm
ing class during the past year. it is
well to remember this experience
A combination Of causes has produc-
ed fair prices, in conjunction with an
immense crop. But the Rural World
reminds the farmers that "tho Euro
pcan war will not last always; that
next year perhaps there will be = lar
ger crop in Great Britain than has
been produced in fifty years; that
but very small portion of our crops
may be wanted abroad, and that in
consequence the very lowest prices
may prevail for all our farm crops"
To be forewarncd is to be forearmed.
Farmers, therefore, who take in mon
ey for their crops this year had bet
ter pay their debts. Instead of in
curing new debts, pay Off the old
ones Get in an Independent condi-
ton. The farm will always make the
industrious farmer good living
Resolve to owe no man a cent. Pay
as you go, and peace of mind that the
debtor cannot enjoy will be yours.
