ARBITRATION BEST FOR FARMERS.
Arbitration is almost invariably
preferable to litigation. 1t is not
only the easiest, quickest and cheap
est way to settle disagreements, but
saves much vexation and subsequent
dissention. Were individuals, cor
porations and nations, to arrange
their disputes by arbitration, instead
of resorting to litigation and warfare,
the people would be saved millions
Of treasure, and the world spared
much shedding of blood. A peace
full settlement of difficulties is usual
ly followed by prosperity, while go
ing to law" or war, usually results
in loss and suffering to both contest
ants. Indeed litigation and war
fare, are twin relics of the dark ages,
and so long as they continne in
vogue, we may look in vain for har-
bingers of the promised millennium
OF all classes, farmers should so far
as possible avoid entering into liti-
cation, for whether they win or lose,
they are proverbially worsted, the
lawyers usually taking the cream,
and leaving only the slSim-milk to
the winning contestant. Truly,
there is neither glory, nor honor,
profit nor pleasure, in litigation, and
the less people who profess to live
ION the square," and according to
the Commandments have to do
Herewith, the better it will be for
both their present and future peace
and prosperity. Even in the most
aggravatng cases Of trespass, and
the like, no good citizen should re-
sort to the law. until all amicable
attempts at settlement have failed.
Indeed, and finally, whatever may
be the provocation, don't get mad,
and impulsively prosecute your
neighbor, but keep your temper and
-arbitrate.
