YOUNG FARMERS.

The hope of improvement in agri-
cultural development in this country,
depends on the young farmers, who
have taken hold of the business as a
means of making a livelihood. With
the intelligence and activity that are
inerent qualities of the progeny of
the successful planters Of the olden
time, these energetic young men are
exhibiting remarkably fine traits and
qualities that assure success. To
those who propose engaging in the
business, there is world of wisdom
in the following remarks of a con-
temporary, the writer of which has
evidently been a close observer. He
says, young men, if you are going to
be a farmer, he good one. Be the
chief worker yourself. It is the first
wins esteem and respect. Study,
observe and listen, and gather in
formation pertaining to your busi-
ness from every source, and you can
soon know as any one. Let no day
pass without some increase of know
ledge. Whatever you cultivate, dc
it we'll. Whatever fruit you have
lit be good, and take good care of it
and improve it as fast as your means
will admit. Whatever fruit you
have let it be choice, and study how
to improve it, how to market SO as
to get the highest price. Ifyou have
a garden, let it be the first in the
neishborbood. Be at the head OF
the class, not third or fourth, or al
the foot.-Planters' Journal.

WORRYING.

Every mortal has burdens and
discomforts. By picking the bur-
den up fifty times day and weigh
ing it, it becomes no lighter, but
rather produces an increased sense
of heaviness. By worrying over the
discomforts they become none the
more comfortable, but are harder
to endure and give cause for more
and more worry and complaint. To
ignore them may be impossible.
We are not called upon do that.
But by turning the sunlight upon
them and greeting them with the
merriest laugh we can raise, we
tighten them, and melt them as
cakes of ice are melted in the noon
day sun, so that when we look for
them we find that they are gone and
wonder who has carried them away.
Blessed be the sunshine that comes
with its benediction to the weary
and lightens the burden Of the heavy
heart.-Ec.

Man must have an occupation or
be miserable. Toll is the price of
sleep and appetite, of health and
enjoyment. The very necessity
which Overcomes our natural slOtll
is a blessing. The world does not
contain a briar or a thorn than
Divine mercy could have spared.
We are happier with the sterility
which can be overcome by industry,
than we could be with the most
spontaneous and unbounded pro
fusion. The body and the mind are
improved by the toll that fatigues
them; that toll is a thousand times
rewarded by the pleasure it bestows,
Its enjoyments are peculiar; ne
wealth can purchase them, no inso-
lence can touch them. They only
flow from the exertions which they

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.

Agriculturally considered,anoth
generation of the Southern people
will find that the South has been
blessed by the extirpation of negro
slavery. AS to manufactures, the
South. under the institution of
slavery. would never have made any
respectable progress in that direc-
ton, whereas, with her cheap free
labor, with her immense mines of
iron and coal in close neighborhood,
with her boundless forests, with her
soft, salubrious climate for uninter-
rupted work throughout the year,
and with her big rivers and her
broad harbors, she is now every day
and every hour rising into compe-
tItlon with the north and with Eng
land which all rejecting men must
see promises at no very distant day
to make the old slave States the
most prosperous manufacturing re-
gion of the world. We rejoice to
contemplate this golden outlook for
the South; we do not rejoice to con-
template at the same time a decline
OF the manufacturing interests of
the North. We are not of those,
indeed, who believe that as the South
goes forward the North will go back
ward in prosperity, We believe
that millions Of Northern capital,
invested in manufactures, will be
transferred from the North to the
South, but we do not believe the
time will ever come when manufac-
tories will cease to be profitable in
the North because they have
become profitable in the South
too. Nor do we desire to see i
so. Those States and these State,
constitute the United States, an(
1 both here and there the welfar'
of each is involved in the welfare O
all.-Induarial South.

SHAKESPEARE.

There has been mnch excitement
over the proposition to open chak-
speare's grave at Stratford, as it
was generally understood that the
Vicar and the town authorities would
not object. The intention is to COM
pare the skull with the well-known
Stratford bust. But the design will
not be carried out, the Mayor having
published the determination of the
Common Council to throw any one
attempting the act into the river
Avon.
We would call the attention of the
editor of the Lawrenceburg Press to
the following facts relative to mis-
tatements made in an article in the
issue of September 5:
Shakespeare died on his birthday,
April 23rd, 1916, aged 50 years, and
was inferred on the north side of
the chancel in the great Church
of Strayord-o -on-Avon, Warwickshire,
England.
The inscription on the gravestone
in the pavement is as follows:
"Good friend, for Jesus sake, forbear
To dig the dust incosed here:
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst he he that moves my bones"
The name is spelt several ways.
In the bard's will it is spelt Shak-
speare, which is probably the correct
rendering Of it.

The price of apples, dried in
evaporators and bleached,is so much
higher than that of the best dried by
the old process, that the latter can
not be proftably followed. In some
large fruit-growing localities nearly
every farmer has an evaporator, and
there should be at least one in every
neighborhood. The "evaporated
fruit" commands double the price OF
the sun-dried.
