Besides all this, you are in error

Causes Of Improbable Farming
[C0r Prairie Farmer.l


The most vital question afecting
the 'armer is how to make farming
profitable. Especially is this felt in
the depressed condition of our market,
at the present time, when produce OF
all kinds does not pay the cost OF pro-
duction. Below we give condensed
summary of the more prominent causes
affecting the condition of the agricul-
tural class. We do not propose to
present to the readers Of the Prairie
Farmer all the causes effecting the
successful outcome of the farm, but
rather to point out the more nnpor-
tant ones. We call particular atten-
ton to the following: u.s.,
!. The enormous loss which MANY
farmers sustain from the neglected
condition Of The manure piles
.. From the exposure OF farm ma
einery to the inclemcncies of the
weather.
3, From the loss which is sustained
in keeping more animals than the
owners can properly provide food and
shelter for.
4. From raising scrubby and indif-
terent nimals when good ones conld
be raised at the same cost and twice
the profit.
3. Filling more land than can be
properly cultivated, thereby raising
on two acres that which might be
more proitably raised on one.
g. Making specialtics of certain
crops to the ultimate exhaustion of the
soil.
I. From di.posing Of the crops in
the condition in which they are raised
instead OF converting them into beef,
pork or mutton.
8. In neglecting to properly attend
to the little details of the farm.
y. In not keeping strict account of
the transactions Of the farm.
III. In not using proper judgment.
ii. Purchasing provisions which
should be raised at home.
II. In not having machinery
enough to properly harvest and save
the crop
IL. We believe that failure to MAKE
farming profitable may be traceabble
to one or several of the above causes
which little study aud forethought
will successfully obviate.
1t will be apparent to every one
who gives the above causes due con-
sideration, that the remedy Tor I'M
profitable farming lies with the far

Physiognomy.

Popularity, this means the art OF
reading character by the means of its
signs in the face, although it has a
more extended meaning Units original
sense. There are many people who
believe heartily in Physiognomy who
do not understand and therefore do not
appreciate in full the claims of Phre.
nology In fact, there are few who do
not claim to receive some strong and
very correct impressiC ms from the
general appearance Of persons they
meet. To all such, the large and com
plete work called "New physiogno-
N.Y." by Samuel r. Wells, will be
specially interesting. This work con
tains nearly 500 pages, with more than
thousand portraits, including the
widest possible range, from the best
and most gifted OF persons to the most
dcbased and lowest grades of humanity
The whole ground OF character-reading
is covered fully, including the genera
principles of Physiognomy. together
with pictures and illustrations of the
general forms of faces" For Instance,
we have discussions on the chin. and
what it indicates; of the nose, with
upwards of seventy illustrations OF
this one feature; all about the eyes,
their language, color, and character;
the checks and complexion; the fore
head; the hair; ws and teeth; neck
and ears; tile hands and feet; and a
most interesting chapter is that devoted
to the Signs of Character in the
actions, wlk, and voice. The physi-
ognomy of the insane, and the exer-
cises in expression, are both interest
Ing and important. The physiognomy
of different classes is illustrated by
groups Of portal sof divilies, pugiists,
warriors, surgeons, inventors, states
men, actors, poets, etc. A chapter OF
special interest 10 many is that of love
signs in the lips, chin, eyes. If the
suggestions given here were needed,
many disappnintments in life might be
avoided. Comparative Physiognomy
is also well illustrated. The book con
cludes with an extended chapter on
Character Reading, containing por.
traits of many men of the day, with
brief sketches Of character, as indicated
in their physiognomies, together with
a few words biographical concerning
each.
This work must be of interest to the
general reader, and i, is well worth the
price asked for it, S., and it is sent by
mail, post paid, on receipt OF price by
the fdAliyhers; and it is also Offered as
a special premium in connection with
their well'known and popular mag.
azine, the chronological journal. Il

whether the money value Of that land went
up or DOWN. II would only do so, as rule,
with the rise or fall in the price Of products,
so that his future payments would be regu-
lated by the times, and according to existing
values. There would be no hard-and-fast
contract as now, unjust on rising market
to the seller, and on falling market unjust
and ruinous to the buyer He could not be
deprived of the ownership Of the portion for
which he had paid under any circumstances
whatever. And he could always buy as
much land with hundred bushels Of wheat
or thousand pounds of butter at one time
as another, for the price of land would be
regulated by the price of products No time
contracts would be legal The price must
be set at the time of purchase, and title pass
only in proportion to payment. Thus every
advantage would be on the side of the in
dustrious and skillful worker. A decline in
prices would not bring him ruin and despair.
He would be at all times free man, and not
the bond slave of his creditor. Consequently
he would live longer and be happier. Pros
perity would be assured to him in exact pro-
portion to his skill and industry.
In our next article we shall try to show
the effect of free credit system upon other
kinds of business, and especially upon bank
ing, railroading, and corporations generally.
