pand into fuller proportions again. Indeed, it is
the larger mauufactursrs who have really made
any important accumulation OF stock, and the
smaller consumers cannot well stay out, SO that
the latter are likely to keep trade running until
tho more important buyers are compelled to
come in again. Furthermore, there is q pretty
general admission that the attractive clip at
least is smaller than last year, and with even
present rates by no means extreme there ia lit

The Farmers Possibilities.
j. NJ. Conner, in Concord Patriot.

Amid tina wall that is constantly going up from
so many farmers that farming don't pay and
that other vocations hold out better Inducements
for our young men, and in view Of the fact that
so many farmers sons accept this as true and
the old bomesteads are being left desolate in
consequence of the prevailing opinion upon this
point, ] am induced TO spread before your read
ers some facts, showing the possibilities that lie
in our pathway. and if possible 10 set a counter
sentiment at work that shall uproot the pre-
jpdice which exists mainly through the cis-
coura cement of aclass who could never succeed
in any business, without . radical change In
methods.
Again, if twenty-five years ago one should
have said es good butter could have been made
during the six months that cows are Ia the barn,
as during the other six months, and that. all
things considered, the former was the most
profitable portion OF the year. not one in o hun
dred but wonld have declared it rank nonsense,
AID we hardly think that q majority will accept
10 to-day, although there has been q remarka-
BILE revolution in sentiment. and there 10 yet
to be a still greater, not only as to this branch
OF farm work, but In many other lines on the
farm.
present these figures, not In a spirit Of boast
ing-uot but that | could far exceed 1t On future
trial, and not but that others have done as well,
and | am sure that Others may DO 1t who now
lack confidence in our noble calling, and who
ought TO be nun bersd with those who believe ~
l do, that there is money in farming.
We will conine this showing TO three sources
of income. viz. dairying, pork and hens, taking
the reckoning from the first day OF January TO
the first of May.
wintered twelve cows; two came to milk 10
April. some became dry during this period, max
ing on an average ten cows Ia milk during the
four months. The most OF my cows come 10 In
midsummer aod early in the fall. The product
from these cows during the four months WAS 973
pounds of butter, three veal calves sold for
500 62, besides cream sold to the value Of s.. /
had six shosis that on the lat Of January were
three months old. and would weigh from seven
ty-ive to eiehty-fve pounds each alive. On the
LIST OF May / slaughtered two OF them. and on
the l4th Of May the remaining four. The six
dressed l,173 pounds, bringing Sl33. They were
fed from the LIST of January, thirty-nine bags of
meal, costing S50.3I. and all the milk they could
consume. Some ssventy-ive hens laid very
poorly yet VIC got Ito dozen of eggs which sold
for $50.
Admitting that circumstances enabled me TO
realize from this butter moro than many could,
yet, le, the reader fix his own figures. and We
submit that the result Is a good showing. Call
ing the butter at a low figure OF % cents per
