the best thing he could do with his
money was to put it safely away
somewhere for at least two years;
and meanwhile to remember that
social and sporting life must be con-
sidered purely as play and never
allowed to interfere with work, and
that he had his whole profession to
learn.
Therefore. the wise thing for him
to do was to go out on some farm
kept by some real farmer and ask to

AT the risk of seeming to preach,

want to lay stress on two things
especially.
I'm the first place. the similarity
in so many respects of your con
ditions here to what l saw in the
west nearly u generation ago. This
is especially true of your failures
and Of the effect every failure pro-
.duces upon the prophets Of evil and
the men of little faith. In a new
country like this you have to try
experiments. and that means you
have to make occasional failures.
Thirty years ago, out west, in a
certain very large tract of land-a
tract larger than all Britain saw
settlers come swarming in utterly
unprepared to cope with the
peculiarities of the climate and yet
certain that a golden future lay i'm
mediatcly ahead of them and would
come of it's own accord
Boom towns were built where
there was nothing whatever to sup
port them. and men who knew moth
ing Of farming or else knew only
about farming in countries of regu-
lar and abundant rainfall, started to
farm in every dir ction on every
kind OF soil.
live years later the towns were
deserted or had shrunk to a house
or two each; and the immense ma
jority of the farms had been aban-
doned. A decade passed, and men
who knew the conditions and were
willing and able to work hard, who
knew about dry-farming and irriga-
ton. came there; and now the land
Again, | once saw a whole region
condemned from the standpoint Of
the sheep-man, because a company
without much money, but with more
money than experience, had tried
various fatuous experiments in sheep
farming which, in my own imme-
date neighborhood, included the at
tempt to run a good sized flock with
an extelegraph operator as shep-
herd and two Newfoundland dogs in
place of collies. Nevertheless, sheep
are a source of profit in that coun-
| try at this moment. Don't, there
fore. get discouraged if there are
some failures; and remember that,
on examination, the pessimist will
usually be found not to be a very
competent creature.

tied in Virginia. for years things
were so bad that they started clear
ing out, and they had to get their
provisions from abroad. Mortality
occurred sufficient to cause a panic
in any colony. The history of these
colonies was checkered with disaS-
ters. considerably more than this pro
Electorate will ever have to face.
The second thing ! want to say
is to the individual settler himself.
| The Government can do much, in
various directions. but the one ali.
| important factor in the success Of
each individual settler must be that
| individuals own character and ca
pacity. If there is any point as to
which he can make the Government
better and more responsive to the
needs of the settlers, it is his duty
to work for the achievement Of these
ends. But he can set it down as an
absolute certainty that a pound of
complaint won't help him as much
as an ounce of real effort to do his
own business we'll. What he has to
face is the need for genuine hard
wordsworth that needs special train
ing and capacity.
1T is the farmer, the man who
grows wheat or cotton, breeds sheep
or cattle-which ever it may be
the man who makes his profit out of
the wool or the meat, or a dairy or
fruit or some other product of the
soil, upon whose success thefperman.
ent success of this country must de-
pend. The discovery of paving min
eral deposits would be a good thing
but with much stress on the good
but it would be Of no consequence
from the standpoint of your perma-
nent Well-being when compared to
the welfare of the farmer; for a sud-
den boom, and a few great fortunes,
in no shape or way take the place OF
steady and permanent growth among
those who come to take possession
of the soil. and to leave it as an
inheritance to their children who
are to grow up in this country.
Now, a farmers business Is just
as much a science as any others.
| Nobody would think that a farmer
could over night turn bookkeeper or
lawyer. Yet, in every new country,
many people drift in who seem to
think that bookkeepers and lawyers,
and men who have never done a
stroke of real work for a living at
all, can suddenly become successful
farmers. A quarter of a century ago
l met any number of such men in
the west. They We're generally
young fellows from the Eastern
States or from England, who perhaps
had never done any work at all, or
who had perhaps not been oversize
cessful as clerks or in some other
sedentary occupation.
They would come out there with
a small capital which they would
proceed to invest without any knowl-
edge; they would half-heartedly and
feebly try to work at something
