FOR'SALE BY 69 King St, BO)WMANVILLE. BOWMÂNY ILLE, Nov. 2:2, 1893. THE FARMER'S POSITION. The long evenings are here agail and as this journal circulatea largelyiy oong farmers aho wiil now have more time for reading, we take delight in consideririg maâtters of special concern to them. They iili flot think us presuînptuous in aittempting to persuade themi to a higher appreciation of farm tIf e. J ust n ,w we ,.Vaut teo oltr a worc of encouragement to farmers. Yo-u are feeling the stress of bard ilimes more than fur some years and you are feeling disgusted with your eall- ingl and threatening te ruake a change. Nouw, don't be too hasty ini making a c-hange until you are sure that yý.u can better your position. But you tell us farming ton't pay. Well, granted that it dloes fot yiiitd as larLxe returns for labor as itlias donce in the past, but caui you nèt make such changes in y our systema of carrying on your business as ivili mater- iaily reducoeyou expexditue while your returus iv Il not be Jlessened? Do a littie home-work, as w'e cai the rehool tasks the chiîdren perform atlihome. If mer- chants and tradesmn c rried on their work in the hep hazard fashioix of many farmers they w, nid soon go) to the wvail.

Durincg these seasons cf euforced idleness the saviugs of the seasons cf work arc rapidly dissip- atcd, Timnes cf enforced îdieness are as disegreoable to employers as toeteîployed. Net only are they cf cm idle tfliselves, but their capital is Iyiug idle and their "4plants" are rnsting or rotting. They as well as tiîeir workmeu regard it as a de- cided advantage of farming that it always provides profitable empîcymoInt. Ah, yen farmers inever thought cf this be 'fore, but it's truc, isi'tit ?
