Maybe you can't make money so fast

Village Tyrant Brought To Book.
Our neighbor will buy two or
three trees or even one on a place.
and cut down forty. If the owner de-
tects his, he alleges that he is cut
| ting down the three trees he bought
and maintains that the stumps about
him were left by some party unknown
and unheard of before. That drops Of
Fsap and pitch are forming os the fresh
white wood, does not disturb him He
maintains that he found them cut
when he came there. 1t is twenty-five
| years since anyone has had authority
to cut trees on our land, yet where We
| impinge upon his denuded demesne,
there are nothing but saplings in our
woodland. Where there ought to be
trees fifty years old, none less than
twenty-five, a wealth OF bean poles
meets the gaze. The whole country
side has endured this sort of thing at
SINNERS hands, and we. too, would
have done so, if he had not gone too
far. After We had lost cords of wood
last summer that we had cut down
and prepared for market. we notified
him to close two breaches in the divid
ing wall illegally opened by him. He
had no honest errands on our land,
He was very angry at this first object
ion to any of his proceedings and we
received personal visitation of " hat
the district expects of men like him ana
Hen. He perpetrated an act of saw
age and ingenious cruelty such as is
expected only of Indians and to avenge
cur poor animal retainer and in self
protection we have landed on him for
all his torts, for either through nat
ural recklessness, or because of long
immunity, he made is easy for us TO
get hold of him.
Great Majority Are Good Folks.
/ The great majority of the people
are good folks, sturdy folks. The far
'mers OF northern New England are
llumbermen as much as they are far
mers. 1t takes strength and endur-
ance to be lumberman, strong con
stitution to work all day in the deep
snow In the woods. The weak have
either emigrated or been killed. 1t is
healthy climate in New England,
kills you pretty promptly if you are
not healthy. The great majority OF
the people are intelligent, ready OF wit,
ready of speech. The Yankees have
few apologies to make. The New Eng
land States need fear no comparisons
with sister States on the score of de-
cency, a liberal mind, and a kindly
heart.
Can Money Be Made?
A consideration of the profits of New
England agriculture as have found
them, must be carefully made. Even
here, where so many failures abound,
man is not 50 lost to hope as not to
talk Of profits, 10 speak of lucrative
opportunities Even here, they talk 81
big money in this and big money In
that. Of a man who made a thousand
in an acre Of horseradish and another
who made a thousand in a small area
Of onions, a feeble faring Of the lures
that blaze so brightly in the prospect
uses Of the immigration bureaus 81
western and southern railways. The
thousand dollar onion man Of this dis
trdct does get one thousand. but he
hires two men from spring TO fall ana
works himself, and the horseradish
man, who al % exists, does get one
thousand from an acre, but he keeps
a wife and three children grating
roots ali the time and their united
wages u some mill would bring one
thousand When all Is said and DON
the farmer seldom gets more Than the
wages OF his labor. He sells labor in
the. form Of turnips, cabbages He
gets his money back for his seeds, fer
tiIizer, interest on horses and machIa-
cry, for his hired help, but the residue
10 zeldom more than his own wages
would amount 20. IN one western
state, the agricultural experiment sta
ton has figured out that on one hun.
bred dollars an acre land the farmer
clears his own wages and three per
cent on the cost OF the land.
