some Compensation in Farm Life.

The conversations of farm life taking
a financial view, should be something more
than good living and the actual cost OF
production. II the family enjoy fairly
good health, and the head of the house
has love for his profession, there should
be no difficulty in keeping little ahead
at least. The mistakes of last year must
be guarded against in the future. for we
all realize when we are doing fairly well
there is more happiness in store for all
reverses and some partial failures Of crops
which we are quite sure at times to real
lie. But the wealth we may gather Is not
all. or even half of the compensations
of farm life. Our life is what we make
IL. If man and his companion do not
enjoy the farm, they have missed their
calling and had better change their bust
ness. The sooner they do this the better
for one can get no enjoyment II the work
Is distasteful. But the average farmer
likes his work. and can make his plans
and execute them IN season 20 that he
will have plenty OF time TO visit other
scenes and mingle with men of other
trades.
