If piece of land cost 800, and pro.
duces crops that yield net return, after
paying all cost of labor and fertilization,
of $40, it is paying ten per cent on the
investment, just as much as if 800 had
been loaned at the rate of ten per cent
interest. Now, there isno man who would
think of living on the interest of 800
loaned at even this high rate, but in
stances are not rare of men making good
living for themselves and their families
from the careful cultivation of ten acres
of land. We mention this fact to prove
that the too frequent expression that
farming does not pay" is not in accord
ance with fact. If man invests 81 900
in 100 acres of land, and makes only ten of
them, or 800 worth, available, he cannot
expect to derive profit from the other
ninety acres, any more than he could ex-
poet any interest upon 81 900, when he
had only 800 of it invested. Land well
cultivated pays better interest on the
money invested than any other venture.

On one occasion, travelling with guide

the guide that his employers sad state be-

in this solution. He suggested that to all

nounce the quarreling, profanity, intoxi-
cation, dice throwing, and pool selling
which usually accompany, either publicly
or privately, horse racing and trotting
meetings. But we have said, and say
now that our State Agricultural Society
has not in the past and does not now offer
sufficient premiums or encouragement for
the breeding of desirable class of work
or draft horses. They have only encour-
aged the breeding of small, nervous,
speed horses by large prizes for trotting,
and given but small encouragement for
the breeding or importation of farm or
city work or draft horses. The very week
of the state fair at Lewiston there were
work horses on the streets of that city
which were purchased only ten days be-
fore in Canada by an agent of that city
sent 10 Canada for the purpose; and there
was no class in the premium list for the
elegant English mares of the celebrated
carthorse breed just imported by Messrs.
Bodwell & Burleigh, simply because they
were not stations In these things we
say the state society is greatly at fault.
"Now let the trustees of our state So
ciety confine their purses to Maine bred
and Maine owned horses in the future.
God help us, Brother Thompson, that
your son or mine never comes under the
foul, corrupting, debasing influence of the
pool room and the bar, as young men did
in Lewiston whom we saw by the score,
betting and drinking, and the booksellers
urging and inviting these handsome young
men down to ruin. And not at Lewiston
alone, but all over the state wherever the
trotting mania is found, there is drunken
ness, gambling and ruin. How has it
been this season at Unity, Skowhegan and
other places, where young men, led away
and influenced by corrupt horsemen have
brought bankruptcy and disgrace upon
honored families In this fight we desire
never to be found on the fence, but to be
outspoken and fearless in waging warfare
against every form of evil which follows
in the wake of the race course"
In our opinion the time has come when
the state should be called upon to legis-
late effectively to prohibit horse gambling,
as it has already prohibited the lottery
and other forms of this vice. If the men
do not move in this matter, why will not
the women, the mothers, sisters and wives,
so deeply interested, petition the legisla-
ture to stop this demoralizing vice

Among the Rocks and Hills.

Brother Cheever of the Nep England
Farmer lately visited the farm of William
Chaplin of Middlesex, VT, man who
has "made farming pay" and gives Mr..
Chapin's opinion upon the subject as
follows:
Having for many years been one of the
assessors, besides being often called to
represent the town in other directions,
Mr.. Chaplin is doubtless well qualified to
form correct judgment as to the relative
condition of farmers and others in his
vicinity and elsewhere, and he gave it as
his opinion that the farmers in this billy,
rocky town, who attend to their business
as business men have to who are success
full in life, are doing as well on the aver
age as those who have left for the villages,
or for other occupations. He also fluids
that farm boys do better than the aver
age boy brought up in the village. He
believes the average farmer in Middlesex
has been adding to his capital at the rate
of about two hundred dollars per annum,
beside supporting his family and educat-
ing his children. The present year with
its drought, and frosts, and low prices,
has been unusually unfavorable, but the
farmers will not run behind, though they
may not have much to lay by. The Yer.
mont savings banks pay only from three
to four per cent interest on deposits, which
is all they can afford to pay, but he has
proved repeatedly that capital invested in
farm and timber lands which discon.
tented owners are anxious to sell, will p y
after allowing for taxes and all reasonable
risks, much better rate of interest than
savings banks can.

Sound Talk.

We wish that all agricultural editors
would write as firmly and forcibly upon
the subject of horse.gambling as does our
friend Boardman of the Home Farm. He
says, replying to an attack upon him in
the Horse Breeders Monthly:
ave have never been on the fence,
either in our position on the "horse ques-
tion," or the gambling question. Turn
back through eighteen volumes of the
Maine Farmer, the six volumes of the
Agriculture of Maine, 1S73-177S, and the
three volumes of the Home Farm, and

back on Maine horses, or failed to de-

American Gambling.

The New Hampshire Mirror and Far
mer has an excellent article on Gamer.
lean Gambling" in which it severely con-
dennis card gambling, faro gambling,
lotteries and gambling in stocks, but,
strangely enough, says not word about
horse gambling, the meanest, most ruff
fianly, and every way the vilest Of all, as
well as the most enticing and harmful to
farmers and farmers sons. We give a
few extracts from the Mirrors article:
"Next to the card table come the lot
teries, beginning with those which control
some of the southern state governments,
and openly defy the laws of the United
States, and ending with the cheap copies
by which pious people "whip the devil
round a stump" at church and charity
fairs. Some of these are cheats of the
worst description, and some, perhaps, are
managed squarely; but they are all Or
ganized for the purpose of appealing to
mems passion for gambling, and con.
Quoted 70 get money without returning an
equivalent. They all rob their patrons,
and, in nine cases out of ten, gather their
receipts from the ignorant and the poor,
who have no money to spare.
A.
Still worse is the mania for gambling
in stocks which corrodes the conscience,
freuzies the brain and petrifes the hearts
of the men and women who constitute
the spectators of Wall and State streets.
This is an eminently respectable curse
which attacks all classes. 1t haunts the
parlor as well as the bar-room, roosts over
the doors of our strongest banks, occu-
pies front seat and often-times the pull
pit at church, and makes paupers and
thieves out of the most gifted and the
most trusted in the community. 1t is
recognized as legitimate occupation,
and the man engaged in it loses neither
caste, nor his seat at the communion
table as long as he succeeds.
And so it is all along the line, and in
all conditions of life. A frantic struggle
to get money without working for it-a
reckless trusting to luck. deliberate
stalking of everything upon the honor of
professional sharpers, tricksters and cheats.
And the worst of it is there is little or
no attempt to check this mad rush to de-
struction. We have no end of reform or.
CARNATIONS for the suppression of intern.
perance, no lack of preaching to correct
the evils that grow out of our divorce
system, and as often as we care to be, we
are lectured upon the necessity of reform
in our dress and manners but this wide
spread and many-shaped gambling curse
exists and extends in the silence that
gives consent, provoking scarcely pro
test anywhere, and an earnest movement
for the suppression nowhere"

Luther as q Preacher.

"For moving eloquence in the pulpit
no one excelled Luther. He not only
knew how to preach, but he could tell
the secret to others. One defect, he OBJ
serves, may eclipse numerous gifts in q
preacher. 'Dr. Justus Jonas has all the
good virtues and qualities man may
have yet merely because he huns and
splits, the people cannot bear that good
and honest man. Let preacher stick to
his text, and not ramble. "A preacher
that will speak everything that comes in
his mind is like maid that goes to
market, and, meeting another maid,
makes stand, and they hold goose
market He despised the hunger for sp-
plause: Ambition is the rankest poison
to the church, when it possesses preach
ers.' Cursed are all preachers that in
the church aim at high and loud things,
and, neglecting the saving health of the
poor, unlearned people, seek their own
honor and praise, and Herewith to please
one or two ambitious persons. When
preach, sink myself deep down. l re-
gard neither doctors nor magistrates, of
whom are here in this church above
forty but have an eye to the multitude
of young people, children and servants,
of whom are more than two thousand. !
preach to these, directing myself to them
that have need thereof. Will not the rest
hear me? The door stands open unto
them they may begone.' An upright
godly, and true preacher should direct
his preaching to the poor, simple sort OF
people like mother that stills her child
handles and plays with it, etc. when
they come to me, to Melancthon, to DR.
Pommer, etc., let them show their com
ing how learned they are they shall be
we'll put to their trumps. But to sprinkle
out Hebrew, Greek and Latin in theil
public sermons savors merely of show,

THOUGH unable to attend the meetings
of either body, we are notified that the
WAToHMAN's agricultural editor was
made one of the vice-presidents of the
American Pathological Society at its re-
cent meeting in Philadelphia, and that he
was also chosen to like position by the
American association of nurserymen,
florists and seedsmen, at its meeting held
in st. Louis. Such unsought and unex-
pected distinction at the hands of the
members of these great national societies
is, we confess, extremely gratifying, and
we shall certainly endeavor to give, in &C.
acknowledgement, as faithful service in the
mutual work as our ability will permit.

NEW YORK, August %. AT this morn.
ing's session Of the Federation Of Organized
Trade and Labor Unions OF the United
States and Canada the Legislative commit
tee appointed last year at the Cleveland
convention reported that encouraging pro.
gress had been IN ade in the formation OF
local unions and increasing the
memberships Of unions previ-
ously formed. The report reviews
the history OF the labor agitation Of The
past year and the efforts made TO obtain
legislation favorable to the workingmen.
It was recommended that prize OF $50 be
offered for the best essay on trades unions
and strikes. 1t was also suggested that
steps be taken to secure harmony and unan-
unity among all the trades and labor organ
iZations OF the country.
