WILL if PAY?
But will it pay to use more capital in tann
ing? If we could calculate on getting present
prices, there can be no doubt that it would
pay well. And, at ail evants, you cannot
have good farming without the U- s e ( 1 ■ a larg
working capital, or of liberal credit, and it is
yuite certain that, if good fanning will not
pay, poor farming will not. And as uc icul
ture is the main business of the nation, farui
iog will pay iu the long run, if anything pays.
This question, so often asked, and so s< 1
dom answered, " Does farming pay "
very absurd one. Of course fanning pays.
Farmers do got a living, atid it i > rare that
one of them fails. 1 have three neighbois.
One came from the eastern part of the State,
when the country was new. lie took up It.O
acres of laud, cleared it, fenced it. lived pro
bably, at first in a log house, worked lard,
but eiyovcd himself. He is a capitai ;■ •n> r,
up early in the morning, aito wis to hit
always has his crops sown in . 1 n.
treats his laud liberally, uud ;•• : e re
turns. He commenced wish I: :!c. I si night
up a large family, given t< •i a first oiu>
education, aud be is pro rally Ur-' .• v nth
$25,000 to SBO,OOO. True, it has taken hiui
•10 years to accumulate thisSinoutit o( proper
ty and nearly all of it has hi n derived from
the advance of real estate. Still he has had a
good living, has enjoyed life, is an intt ligent,
public-spirited, energetic, and generous-mind
ed gentleman, and enjoys the respects of all
his neighbors. lam sure such farming pays.
1 have another neighbor who Has a farm of
equally good land. He is a well educated
man, and seems to work hard, but he is al
ways behind with his work. He occasionally
gets a good crop, but the genera! j add is hard
ly ,'ulScient to pay even for the litile labor
bestowed iu preparing the laitd. He is in
debt, and seeins to depend more on chopping
aud selling wood to meet Lis payments than
on raising crops. His fences ate out ofrepair,
aud the laud is full of weeds. Still he gets a
living for himself and a large family, and, 1
suppose, even in this case, we must conclude
that " farming pays." I have another neigh
bor, whose land is low, but would be very pro
ductive if attention was paid to surface drain
age. The same ctcek runs through the south
end of my farm. It is chocked up with old
logs, branches, and fallen trees, 'ihe water
sets back in the spring, and floods hi land.
But he mokes no effort to clean out the creek.
I offered to do it for him, if he would give me
the wood, but no, he intended to do it him
self. I presume he has been intending to do
it for years. A good portion of his land dot 3
not produce enough to puy the. taxes, and tne
dryer portions are not half worked, and yield
the most, meagre returns. I passed his house
this morning. He was cutting some coarse
hay on the low land. His oats were harvest
ed, but nearly half of them were still lying on
the ground among the clods, aud his wife was
thrashing the other half in the bam with a
flail. Now this is rather poor farming, but
as the family gets a living, I suppose it
" pays."
But huw much does it pay? Docs he make
as much as he would it his son and himself
worked as .hard for some other farmers as they
do for themselves, to say nothing of the wife?
I do not believe they make half as mnch, and
certainly their land is not improving, though
they probably persuade themselves that, ow
ing to the improvements of others.it is in
creasing in value.
Now. f have no doubt that an intelligent,
enterprising man, with the necessary capital,
could take this farm, and increase its pro
dnctiveness fourfold. But such a man cannot
live in the style of its present occupant, and
his wife would not want to thrash in the barn.
And so the real question is whether farming
will afford sufficient profits to enable an
educated man to live in a style suited to his
necessities. I think it trill, but there are
those who contend that it will not.
Can an educated tnan get a suitable living
by making boots? Can he make much more
than the illiterate inan who sit 3 on the ad
joining bench? Can an educated farmer dig
more potatoes in a day than a good staiwart
Irishman? Can he chop more wood than a
French Canadian, or plow better than a
Scotchman? Can General Grant fight in the
ranks any better than Patrick O' Flunnagan V
The educated shoemaker, as soon as he had
learned the trade, would have others helping
him, and by aud by, if made of the right i:>d
of stuff, he would be the proprietor of a large
boot and shoe factory, and call to his aid all
the contrivances for saving labor that modern
science aud invention cun afford.
'•This is all very well. I seethe poinf.
But you cannot make money by farming, un
less you work yourself."' Very true. I never
supposed you could. Neither can the educa
ted shoemaker. He probably works harder
than any mau in the establishment, although
he does not wax his own strings, or hammer
out the lapis. He knows how to do all these
things. And so must a fanner be acquainted
with all the details of his business, and must
give them his undivided attention. But must
he necessarily do bis own plowing, dig his own
ditches, and husk his own coin? iVork he
nttisf, and so must a manufacturer and a pro
fessional man. But what work shall he do?
If he has men husking coru by the bushel, he
should see that they husk clean, and tie upthe
stalks well, and make the bundles into stocks
that will shed rain, and not blow down in the
first wind. He must see that he is not cheat
ed in measuring the corn, and that it is
properly sorted. He can make more by at
tending to such things than by husking him
self. Aud so it is in nearly all the operations
of the farm. Especially must he see to his
stock. He will find ten men that caij dig po
tatoes, husk corn, hoe, plow, cultivate, and
even build a stack, anddigundcrdrains, to one
that cau be entrusted to feed pigs or take care
of the cows. To neglect to feed prop rly—
to starve this week and surfeit the next, will
cost you half the feed.
_ But lam wearying you. lam satisfied, how
ever, that this subject must receive the atten
tion of farmers. Those who intend to make
agriculture their business should study it
thoroughly, and make themselves masters'of
every detail. They must kuow how to do alj
kinds of farm work, and should study espe
cially how to direct others. It is frequently
easier to do the werk one's self than to show
another how to do it, but it is better, in the
end, to bear with a bur.gler, than to let him
stand idle while you do the work. John John
son is employing contrabands on his farm, and
likes them well, though he says, "'they cannot
set themselves to work." That is precisely
my idea. A man with a large farm must know
how to set others to work, and see that they
do it properly, and he will find that this will
give him enough to do without going into the
field to plow himself. Nearly all the labor
we can now command is unskilled, and this
state of things will continue. There are now
thousands of Chinese at work on the Pacific
Railroad, and when we think that wine-third
the population of the globe is in the Chinese
Kmpire, it will not be surprising if the high
wages paid in this country, should induce
hundreds of thousands to emigrate to Snn
Franciaeo, and from there over the Pacific
Rail road to the mines of Colorado and the
prairies of the Great West. They will not be
able to "get themselves to work," and the
young farmers of the country should educate
themselves for the task. There is not one
farmers son in a hundred that eould do it at
present. They have not been trained to di
rect others, and it is time this part of a farm
er's education received attention. — American

"1 wonder where the clouds are going?'
sighed Flora, pensively, as she pointed with

"So you are going to keep a school," said a
young lady to her aunt, "well, for my part
-ooner than to do that, I would marry a
widower with nine children."
"1 should prefer that myself," was the

A young lady refused to go into the Water

GOING AHBAD.- —An Englishman and a
Yankee were disputing, when the former
sneeringly remarked—
"Fortunately the Americans can go no far
ther than the Pacific shore."
The Yankee scratched his politic head for
an instant, and thus replied—
"Why, good gracious! They ;.re already
leveling the Rocky Mountains and carting the
dirt out West. I had a letter last week from
rny cousin, who is living two hundred miles
west of the Pacific shore, on made land?"
A GOOD REASON FOR LACGHTEB.— M. de
Balzac was once lying awake in bed, when he
saw a man enter his room cautiously, arid at
tempt to pici the lock of his writing-desk.
The rogue was not a little disconcerted at
hearing a loud laugh from the occupant of
the apartment, whom he supposed asleep.
"Why do you laugh?" asked the thief. "1
am 'laughing my good fellow." said M. de
Balzac, "to think what pains you are taking,
and what risk -ou run, in hope of finding
money by night in a desk where the lawful
owner can never find any by day." The thief
"evacuated Flanders" at once.
A LONG KICK.—Two Irishmen engaged in
peddling linen, bought an old mule to aid in
carrying the burden. One would fide for a
while, then the other, carrying the bales of
linen on the mule. One day, the Irishman
who was on foot got close ou his mules hip,
when he received a kick on one of his shins,
i o be revenged, he picked up a stone and
burled it at the mule, but by accident struck
his companion on the back of the head. See
ing what he had done, he stooped down and
began to groan and rub his shin. The one on
the mule turned and asked what was the mat
lr.
"The cratur's kicked me," was the reply.
"Bejabers," said the other, "he's did the
same thing to me on the back of the head !"

slightest unnecessary pain, and carefully adapted
