THE SOUTHERN FARMER.

1t Is common comment Of the press
throughout the country that the south.
elm farmer is better off than bis broth
ers in any other section Of the country.
And why shouldn't lie be! There is
every reason why the Southern farmer
and his family should live better, enjoy
more luxnries than any other class Of
people. He has verything that na-
tnre could bestow upon country to
help him produce it. He can by little
labor produce more luxuries for his
table at less expense than anybody.
He can grow almost every fIuit and
vegetable that the earth produces, and
grow them eally and late. He can
raise more poultry, hogs, cattle and
horses, and do it cheaper than any
one. He should have very little to
buy and geat deal to sell. Every
Southern farmer should be a prince on
his own d0main.-Ex.

was very devoted to him in spite Of his.
fault finding disposition. His suffer

some times as she sat b. his bedside.
