Farming for Pleasure.

Chicago Times.
Is there any other kind of business
in which men may engage in simply
"for the fun of the thing?" Rich men
do not engage in mining or manufactur.
ing simply for the pleasure. No one,
perhaps, ever heard of man who had
an abundance of this worlds goods en-.
gagged in running train of cars, ham,
mering at an anvil, tending saw mill,
laying brick, or quarrying stone for
pleasure. They do not expect to obtain
enjoyment in any of these occupations.
They leave them to persons who are
obliged to engage in them for the pur>
pose of supporting themselves and their
families. They engage IN agriculture,
horticulture and stock raising with ex>
pectations of having a good time, and,
from their own accounts, are seldom
disappointed.
