Does Farming Pay:

A Young man who had tried ranching
IN sIip-shod, go-easy way. remarked tn
us few evenings since, that farming would
not paw This is doubtless true in his own
case, but it does not follow that others
will have similar experience. This
branch Of industry has always been a los
ing business to some. while it has richly
rewarded others. We hold in memory
two men who once engaged in farming.
One owned large tract Of land the other
was ..renter" from this same owner.
In few seasons the latter bought a small
tract from the former. A. each successive
season came round he continued to pur-
chase Of this same owner. until in about
ten years the relations Of the two
men were reversed. The former own
er became the tenan. and the tenant be-
came the proprietor Of the whole estate.
Here one made the tilIage Of the soil
profitable pursuit, while the other was
constant loser. Hence we see the proper
solution OF the question depends upon the
man. If good Judgment is employed in
selecting suitable location, followed up
by the necessary skill and energy, farm
ing paws; otherwise ii is sure to be more
or less a failure.

AFTER the publication of Lieut.. Greene's
official figures, showing conclusively that the
recent flood in Washington was due TO the
Long Bridge causeway, it wonld seem that
there could be neither doubt nor delay about
the duty of Congress. The Long Bridge
nuisance, which after running navigation
threatens periodically to lay the city under
water for a greater or less extent, exists
solely at the behest of the Government and
the railway corporation which it has created.
A four-f0ot inundation over expensive Gov
ernment parks and gardens, and onr still
more expensive private property, would seem
to be little too much of good thing for
even the most submissive people. The Long
Bridge beyond any question is responsible
for the disgrace of turning this Arctic deluge
over thickly inhabited portion of great
city, the water all the time tending to run
off TO the lower levels beyond, and subsiding
quickly after the ice gorge had rdded us OF
part of the obstruction. new bridge with
long spans on stone or iron piers is EN-
phatically the first harbor improvement de-
manded by the Potomac.
