of the country, many of whom have large and in
creasing families to support have been the chief snf
erers from the great financial pressure under which
we have labored for the last few years. Diminished
wages have not been attended by a corresponding
dmnution in price of everything which the working
man needs. Rents fuel food, and clothing, are
cheaper but these do not constitute all his necessities

Profitable Farming.

1t is q frequent remark that there is no money in
farming, that there are very few farms that will pay
over three four per cent &c While this may be so
in respect to much of our land that is suffering for the
need Of skilltul treatment, there are many farms
that are proving to the owners most profitable in
vestment. We could name anumber of such, but we
propose in this item to only parculariZe one--the
farm of John c. Bailey near Bethel NJ. L. Church.
Mr.. Baily bought this farm some ten years ago when
land ruled at much higher figure than now. 1t is
tract of over 200 acres in ordinary condition and
he proceeded at once to fertlZe clear up low places
tile &c., and when he had completed his improve
mens it stood him in $50 per acre. OF course he put
out peach trees, (every farmer then did that but he
also planted apples pears grapes and several acres Of
latter until the last year two have brought in good
returns but the main products of the farm have been
wheat corn, hay and, when there bearing years

has paid him an interest high the rate of 500
per acre and for the past six years has not but

farm was to put it in good state of fertility. The
rest very naturally followed In 4 walk few days
