The farms at Belvidere are not for

bought for $50 per acre. The settlers
have made homes in which they are
contented and happy. They enjoy
health and the comforts, and many of
the luxuries of life. What more can

teaching the American farmers that
thrift is better than great wealth,
with all it's cares and temptations, and
that contentment and industry, with
good morals, are the most precious
Jewels of this life.
On the other hand, the old cotton
planters are often times in dire fnan-

Like an old hack upon tread-wheel,
their course is always uphill, but they
never progress. Year by year they
have drawn upon the fertility of their
farms by growing single product

of improvement. Gullies were stop

clover was sown, rotation of crops was
was gradually increased, and within
the space of six years the soil was so
improved that twenty bushels OF
wheat and forty bushels of corn were
grown on places where not one fourth
of this yield could be obtained when
the colonists bought the land. In the
meantime, orchards were planted and
meadows and pastures sown. Large
stock barns were erected and cosy
comfortable dwellings, built. The old
fields, whose only products had been
broomsedge, are now growing luxuri-
antly the hay and pasture grasses
which furnish food for large herds OF
cattle. A creamery has been erected,
which supplies the year round mar

there is now a harmonious flow OF

Their style of farming has made it
live the next. The increasing depth
of the gullies, and the broadening
rims around their valley lands look
like inevitable fate creeping upon
them. The yields of cotton mas di-
minished year by year, and the prices
which are paid for it have been far
from remunerative. Houses are fall
ing to decay, with no means in pros
pect to repair them. The belt OF
briars, broomsedge and bushes thai
envelopes the fences and covers the
undulating surface widens into great
er proportions every year. And yet
so alluring are the promises which
cotton holds out that many of the
planters have mortgaged their farms,
with the hopes that these golden Wis
ions, these mirages of an agricultural
|distemper, these deceitful phantons of
the brain may soon be realized. The
visions of one year have been re-
placed by those of another until pros
tration and poverty are upon hem,
and they are awakening to the realiza-
ton of the fact that ship in the ever
diminishing circles of the maelstrcm
is not more fated to destruction than
they are to financial ruin under the
existing system of employing labor.
To save themselves from bankruptcy
the old planters, or their descendants
are offering many Of these lands for
sale at prices that will enable immi-
grants to work out high degree of
prosperity within few years by pur-
suing new methods of farming.
Such planters have no homes in the
true sense of the word. They cling to
their plantations not because it is a
home, but because they hope to make
money enough to make home some
where else.
An atmosphere of Indifference and
