I advise yon to pay your money for flour and polk, and lot the paper slide.” • l of worse you cm do us you like. I tbink that no titan on a farm can afford to 1* without a reliable agricultural paper. Some men get rich hy farming whilst others i’etpoor*: the principal cause of this is that Hinjo understand their business and others do not. By mean aof this paper you can learn how successful farmers' have succeed ed and how unsuccessful oues have failed: — vou can profit by tho experience of both, voucau also keep posted with regard to Various improvements constantly affecting tillage—this, l consider very important.” ••Well, well, there's my cows in the oats and 1 must get 'em out.” This conversation took place between William Smith and Peter Jones, on the oc casion of the former calling on tho latter to try w induce him to subscribe for a pa per for which Smith was forming a club. Thcac men were at this time in about equal circumstances in regard to worldly goods. Previous industry and economy hud’ furnish ed each with means enough to buy n small Farm. Each had been doing business for himself about two years, and so far their sneeess had been about equal. Being al most entirely without experience in an oc cupation which they had probably chosen because they knew nothing about it, so fat neither had done so well as to excite ro mark, still, a carefnl observer would notice that they bad widely divergent ideas with respect to the proper way of doing their business. Whilst Smith believed that ho could do ranch toward learning a correct theory yf {arming from books and papers, Jones considered such things entirely un less, Ins theory being that success only came of hard knocks and economy, and this he lived up to with scrupulous exact ness. As time passed away the difference of tlicir opinions kept working on their surround ings, nntil their farm, buildings, stock, etc., hardly presented even n Temote similarity. Jones kept all tire time hard at work, and never expended a cent unless to supply some manifest, bodily want. Sunday was his only holiday; this he usually spent the greater part of in lied, resting himself as be expressed it. Nature had kindly fur nished him a hardy frame, and as he was perfectly temperate in his eating and drink ing his health remained almost perfect, and be. as well as his neighbors, thought him self doing very well. Smith, in the mean time, had expended nearly all the profits of his farm in improv ing h:s stock, buying manures, getting his luiees into proper order, improving his ntiildings.jbuying necessary farm machinery, and in doing a thousand and one tilings that appeared to him would eventually be remunerative. In making innovations lie sae more ahead of his neighbors than Jones was behind them, and as he spent considerable time, as they considered to no purpose, he received a smaller share of their approbation. At the expiration of six years from the commencement of their farming experience Jones had quite a snug sum at interest, and his farm lacked much of being m a had condition. True, his buildings, *ere none the better for the length of time they had been in use and the scanty repairs IT had received ; still, they were not so mod) worse than his neighbors as to attract attention. Ilia stock was of the most pmuativc description ; the pigs in bis pen wing direct descendants of an old sow that r «»l »I> the grass in his grand tfther s door yard, fifty years before; and "none conld toll him anything about the pc igrce of his cattle or horses.

Among the stock ho wished to dispose of was a very fine two years oM durltam hull. Three years licforo lie had paid #250 for tho bulls father, besides expending #25 more in getting him homo; still, ho eonsidered this a good in vestment, and thought that some one could afford to pay him near that for the one he had to turn’off. lie and Jones, in spite of their difference of opinion, had always been on vorv friend ly terms, and now ho concluded that if he could sell this bull to Jones for S2OO, it would be an excellent bargain for both ; mid ho determined to make a special effort to accomplish it. Goiug to that individuals houso the next evening, he found himself and wife engaged paring apples by baud, to dry. After a few common place remarks, Smith made known his business. “That’s a very lino critter,” said Jones, “how much do you want for him ?” “About three years ago, Baid Smith, “1 paid $250 for one no better, and it cost me considerable, both time and money, to got him home, I think this one should bring me $200." “Two hundred dollars !’’ Jones vocifer ated, “two hundred dollars, why man he you crazy or do you think I’m a fool; be cause you’ve swindled away your money at that rate it is no sign that any one else will. 1 heard that you’d been asking outlandish prices for your critters, hut 1 nevor thought you'd try me on. Why I’ve got a pair as big and nice as this one yon want to sell, though they're four year old, and you may have ’em both for one hundred.” “Well, Mr. Jones, .if you think my price so far out of the wav, I should like to know what you think him worth.” “As I told yon before,” said Jones, ail the while bitisily at work on his flinty little apples, lie’s a good one, and I’ll give you forty dollArs for him " "How much do you call your heat two year old worth ?” “I wouldn't take a cent less then $25 for that hrindlc heifer. You must have noticed her," “Yea, sho is very good. 1 suppose it has cost as much to raise her as it has the ani mal l wish to sell you.” “1 shouldn't wonder if it had ; she al ways oat a heap.” “Now,” said Smith, yon are willing to pay me sls more for mine than you ask for yours ; from this I conclude that 1 have received sls more for the same amount of feed than you have." “I don't know about flint,” and Jones quitted knife and apples and began to scratch his head. Ilis neighbor’s talk ovi - dently annoyed him, but he was a man that words could not materially discompose and he continued “there’s no use talking, I'll give you just what I said, and not a cent more ; that's settled.’’ “But according to y our own showing the extra blood of my animal makes him worth more than that.” “O, all blood is alike. How is your ap ple crop this year, Mr. Smith ?" "J had nearly ali of my trees grafted fmtr years ago, as you remember, and they don’t bear very ranch yet •, still, what I have are very"line.” “Here’s more of your extra blood, going without apples four years; you’re welcome to it.” Smith soon went homo, and finally con cluded to sell whatever animals lie had to dispose of, for what they were really worth as individuals, and he satisfied with the handsome profits they would yield him. Ilis crops increased to such an extent, that it was unnecessary to have them all con sumed on the farm to keep it m condition, and what he had to dispose ol was the source of a considerable income. His neighbors were soon willing to give him an extra price for the fruit from his ‘ grafted'’ orchard, and his superior grains of all kinds were always ready sale at the very highest prices. Jones had already reached tho summit of his prosperity. His increased family consumed all that he could compel his farm to produce; at times they would encroach on the amount he had so carefully hoarded, lie continued to work hard as ever, and his slightly bout frame and unelastic step, but too plainly indicated that lie had passed that point beyond which the strongest, man must fail. Ilis mind was like an unused room, wherein ail sorts of useless rubbish accumulates; still it contained nothing useful or agreeable to contemplate. In tho future lie could see hut a dismal pathway, strewn with thorns, its roses he had care fully destroyed years before. Smith continued to prosper, and when, in a few years, debts and shattered health compelled Jones to sell out, he had the means at hand to not only buy his farm, hut to fence it ami to put it in proper re pairs generally.
