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 country, 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 ch'cumstances, " the best man wins." The farmer whose fields are well cultivated, whose 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 the one who suffers least from unfavorable weather, from insect pests, and from unfavorable 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 produce or stock until he 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.
