Why not let well enough

this world with every toe up;
and we will do it unless some
of them are cut of by a dslin-
quent subscriber in trying To
settle a just debt. But it is said
that the little toe must 60. Some
one has found out that in this
rapid age we are improving SO
fast that we are getting to a
point where we can apply the
higher criticism to nature and
point out the instances in which
she has been unworkmanlike
in making cur bodies. Not to
speak Of that much abused por-
ton of our internal economy,
the vermiform appendix, there
is the little toe, which we are
told is entirely superfuous and
which could be amputated with
an improvement to our lecomo-
ton. And furthermore, the
doctors in in some far-off place
say that nature itself has real
lied the defect, and even If de-
toeing persons after the man

The Lynchburg News says:
Il is generally contended by
farmers that they cannot make
money at their occupation, and
in fact many Of them complain
that they are generally losing
money almost every year. There
is, perhaps, more imagination
or fear in this than realty,
though we have no doubt that
many farmers toll all the year
round and do net make more
than a close living. The most
Of such cases, however, of fail
nre, are no doubt to be attribu-
ted more to imperfect farming |
Dr. bad management than to any
real deficiency or failure in the |
profession itself. Where q bad |
farmer fails a good one most
frequently succeeds on the very |
same sort Of land and with the
least fertilizers. at all events
we are p eased to see that the |
Warrenton Record undertakes
10 controvent the whole theory
of farming being a failure; and |
boldly asserts that "a man can
make more money on the capital
invested in farming than in al
most any other legitimate bust
ness. |"
