Adaption to one’s business and the thorough knowledge of it which comes by experience, are essential conditions of success upon the farm, or elsewhere. No other one thing can cont ibute so much to the success of a dairy farm as a dairyman. No man can make a fortune at truck fa ming unless he be a truck farmer. And dairymen, gardener, and other specialists in farming are like lawyers and doctors—they are made, not born. Skill is talent, and skill comes of experience. line Therefore, when you adopt a of farming follow it up. Stand by it, Master it. Secure all that is known of it, and add to the knowledge the exercise of your own fertilized brain, “There is always room at the top” of any ladder, but you c an only reach i by climbing. You cannot sail to it, nor fly to it. Nor can you reach the top of any one by back¬ ing down after you have climbed a few rounds and starting up a new one. Ii you would succeed, climb. OUR SCHOOLS.
