Farmers as Bausrupts.

An Eastern exchange says that,
financially, the farmer is the safest
man ia the country. OF eleven hun-
bred and twelve bankrupts in Massa-
chusetts, only fourteen were farmers,
and yet the farming community num-
Der full half The population The
people must live, and while the use
Of luxuries may be diminished by
hard times, there will always be a
call for the produce of the farm"
This statement would not be true OF
western farmers. The proportion Of
farmers among those who take the
benefit of the bankrupt act would
average certainly, more than ten per
cent. in the central Western States.
Twenty per cent. would probably be
nearer correct. The reason why our
farmers are more in debt than their
Eastern brethren is found in their
greater opportunities to speculate aud
buy land. Not one in twenty Of the
many who are irretrieFably in debt,
involved themselves in carrying on
their legitimate business. Their mis-
fortunes have come upon them in
consequence Of speculation. and more
usually in gratifying an insane desire
for more land-land which they were
unable to improve, and which, there
fore, remains unproductiye, and q
constant burden upon them, in the
way of taxes and interest with no re-
turn Indiana Farmer.

arose from a discussion as to tie

about three quarters Of az inch. 1t
is not clear how to utilize a moral

force it down with a wooden mallet.
We use q very narrow screw-driver

keeping the bark intact. We make q
shoulder as far up as the scion is

bark of both scion aud stock must
meet or cross. Set the scion at a
slight angle spreading from each 9TH

only one scion inserted, place a piece
Of wood on the opposite side. If the

rand,boy for four gentlemen who do
business there. One day the gentle
men were chatting him a little abopt

men can do"
