REAPING THE PROFITS.

A certain man who has mado a great fortune will at times in confidential mood reveal the secret of his art of wealth-getting (sayi tie Breeders' Gazette.") He says: "Never slip 'a chance to make a profit. Do not hold a tiling for nioro profit when there is already a good safe profit m sight. Do not speculate. Lot the other man have it. to speculate with. iiny the thing that\ the other man is sick of, when it is low. Manage it wisely, and when others sen its worth and offer'you a good price let them have it. Do not worry if now and then the thing you have sold for a good prico goes higher." These wero his maxims, and ho acted ■. on them. , He owned cattle, sheep, mines, farms', city property. Whenever any of these things appreciated he quietly relinquished his hold and let it go at a,good safe profit. , Hβ Had' taith always that'tilings good for mankind would be in demand; and with serene confidence he hought them when they were low and other men had the "blues." Then ho "cashed m' as soon as the other man recovered and sought strenuously to possess once morfe; '" ; Wo suggest that this .is. a fairly good prm» ciple for the farmer. When he has a safe profit in sight cash in,.. When other men' despair and offer stock for less than it is worth, take hold.' The" main; thing is to take the profits as they Come along. There is nothing sensational iir doing this,: but there is safe and sure profit, and fortune in the long run. . — .
