There Is Money in Farming.

Farmers claim that there is no mon
ey in farming" Compared with other
occupations, it is as certain as any of
them. There is not merchant in this
country or manufacturer who does not
meet difficulties in his business. The
farmer makes more money in proper
ton to capital and labor invested than
is derived in many other enterprises.
All classes of business men must rely
on the cost of raw materials and the
future demands of the markets, and it
may be added, that, like the farmer,
their profits or losses depend largely
ON the weather also.
