The Agricultural Hermit.

Live Stock Journal.
We wish to speak Of the Agricultu-
raj Hermit. He is so common that he
hardly needs a mention, yet at the risk
of repeating "Twice Told Tale" we
shall describe him.
We may divide him into two classes.
The man who knows as little as he can
about agriculture and don't want to
know any more, and the man who
knows great deal about it and is too
mean to tell his neighbors how he
makes his farm profitable.
The hermits of the first class are the
most numerous, but those of the second
are the most dangerous. First-class
hermits are harmless enough in their
way. They are simply passive. They
will never throw the great science of
agriculture out of joint. We never
look to them for new ideas, nor would
we get any if we did, We always ex-
pect to see them in a broken down old
house, on a run down farm, with poor
stock and poorer crops, Why? Be-
cause they are hermits. They stick to
their old methods. They shun all new
ideas and have neither the wit, cour-
age or ambition to look around and see
what other people are doing. They
can talk about the weather or the pc.
litical situation, but successful farming
is not in their line at all. They are
not valuable citizens.
The second.class hermit is different
person entirely. He makes more mon
ey off his farm than any man in the
neighborhood. He is sharp at bust.
ness, and keen in observation. He ha;
all the new theories worked out, and
in fact, develops new plans of his own
But he keeps all his knowledge under
lock and key, No man can learn the
secret of his success if he can possibly
help it. He will refuse to tell how he
runs his plantation, or even make {
false statement. He might do grea
good in the world if he would only tel
the secret of his success, or give plair
figures and practical results. But HI
will not do it. He will not do it. HI
is a hermit.
We believe these hermits can be par
tally cured. 1t will be a hard task
perhaps, but we are bound to try it
We propose to drum the music of di
versied farming into the ears of first
class hermits, till they shall chang
their system simply to make us stop
We propose to study the plans ant
methods of second Gloss hermits, an,
publish the results.
