Mr. Editor, you would be astonished if you saw the crops raised by this iiii-uiis of tilling the ground. Breaking is usually done in June, or should be. It is considered vory hard work for the animals but easy tor men. Then the backsetting is done aftor harvest aud the ground is ready for crop next year. It is rather a novel sight iu see a span of horses and one large ox hitched up together on a self binder, or one yoke of oxen and one horse, or, if you please, three oxen harujjsjed, bits in their mouth and lines on. Tin; driver mounts the binder with a long whip and gives the word, "Get up," Jack, Bill. Jim, etc.. and 1 tell you thy get, every tiinu. The largest portion of the work ia done by oxen. Mostly all farmers not been a success. They went ahead too fust aud now tind them- selves under heavy mortgages, while the mon who ciimc here wilh scarcely enough money to pay for a week's board, as a general rule, are getting on well, have their one quarter suc- tion of land free of all encumbrance, have a nice litlle stock of animals, and are on a fair way to independence-. were care- ful, economical, worked at anything they could get to do, got good wages aud lived within their income. That is the kind of persons who will aud must succeed. Dudes, and parsons who think themselves too awfully nice to work are of no use here. We are not without distinguished visitors in this part of the world.
