Farming ia { He North.

The Eau Claire Leader says
that the farmers are going into
tobacco culture, as the soil and
climate are suited and the crop
pay S well, And this way up
north, more than 200 miles north
Of Rock county. Who shall say
that the new north is not a great
country? But let US talk to
these northern farmers little,
particularly to those who have
lived there some time. Those
who go there now to farm, go
with different notions from those
who have graduated from the
numbering.
Farming is a science, or so
akin to it that it must be studied.
Tits a pursuit which requires
foresight and steady application.
Tt is an exclusive mistress; it can
divide interests with nothing
else. The graduate woOdsman
has had his periods Of strenuous
and then time Of ease and
spending. His work was in the
winter, his ease in the summer.
He has to reverse this so far as
there is any difference. The
farmer has work every day; he
cannot run off for a week unless
he is forehanded enough to sup
ply his place at home. Unlike the
woodsman, be has no large sum
at any time to spend; he must
see ahead and save. He must
look years ahead. His contract
does not expire when the logs
are out.
The farmer must know what
his soils will produce that is
marketable. He must under
stand that soil wears out and
know what to do to preserve
their richness. The new north
especially, is not crop country.
Itcannot be farmed as prairie
in Rock county. But shiftless-
ness is just as fatal; good work,
true work only, will pay above all
things, debt is to be avoided.
The farmer musthave untouched
resources to draw upon. If he
has timber on his land, be in no
haste cut it off; cut no more than
can be cleaned up, so that every
foot Of land will be productive.
Land bare of timber and unculti-
waited is a waste, to be reduced
with the utmost speed.
Tobacco is an exausting crop;
