A GOOD TIP.
I have known farmers whose reapers were never housed, whose tools were left where last used, whose yards were carpeted with the manure that had rotted for years; whose cattle were sheltered from the wintry blasts only by knawing holes in straw stacks; whose front yards were ornamented, not with lawn and shade trees, but with pig troughs and cobs. Perhaps these sturdy sons of the soil attributed their bad luck to the tariff ; to some bloated monopoly ; or the contraction of currency; or to high rates of interest ; never dreaming that the same waste and carelessness manifested by them would bring to poverty the men engaged in other businesses.
