THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IN HARD TIMES.
An English agricultural journal makes a pertinent remark to the effect that, “ if a careful enquiry were made, it would be found that the farmers who are most successfully weathering the storm of adversity in that countiy are those who have kept their farms up to a high state of fertility, and those who are sinking are chiefly the poor farmers ” It is so in every industry, and in all circumstances “ the best man wins.” The farmer whoso fields are best cultivated, whoso cattle are well selected and well kept, whose costly machines are carefully used and protected, whose tools are always in good working order, whose system is one of order and regularity, and whose habits are economical and frugal, is tlie one who sufters least from unfavourable weather, from insect pests, and from unfavourable markets. Having produce of good quality, and being in the market in season, he sells at the best prices, or being forehanded he is able to hold his pro luce until be is willing to sell. Moreover, he is not in the hands of the usurer, and has not to pay 10 or 12 per cent, per annum upon borrowed moneys.
