Hard times should strike the fatmer lighter than almost any other class of the community, as crops are seldom ever so bad but he nas enough for himâ€" self and stock. ~But the large majority of Farmers in this district carry a load of lia bilities, and it is this that beanrs so hard upon them im times of depression,. mm Now â€" when times are good,money plentiful and everything booming, there is a great temptation to buy more land, build fine houses and barns, get the latest improved mach.nery, and generâ€" allyâ€" meur turther liavilities. _ To me this seems to be a mist ike, _ To the man who is prepared for hard times, hbard times will neyer come. _ It is then the duty of every farmer in times of prosâ€" perity to prepare for times of adversity He should use every effort to get rid of his liabilities, for it is these that keep ® * him down. Interest} does not depreciate in value as every o h r commodity does, and besides, in times of depression, we can buy land cheaper, build cheaper and get almost everything else cheaper than .n times of expansion. _ It is therefore economy to wait till then if possible before he make a purchase, and hbe will at the same time assist in easing up the depression, Now when times are good it should be the aim of every farmer to get himâ€" self on an independent footing. Let him cultivate his land intelligently and thoroughly, so that it will produce the best. Keep good stock iand feed ihem properly, take care of his implements, and here is where lots of money is wasted, â€" The farmers of this country spend thousands of dollars upon imâ€" plements, and large numbers of these machines do not liyve out half &eir life for want of proper care. _ What folly it is to spend large sums upon machinery, and then deliberately throw the half of it away, 61 else give it away to some vily tongued implement agent, who can persuade us to buy a new one at a long }n'ice and three years to pay for it. Take care of your machinery, and take alt the work out of them that is in them. Buy nothing you can do without, esâ€" pecially if you have not the money to pay for it, and aboye everything avoid a store account, it isa most ruinous way of doing business. _ Put every dollar you can get inlné'mn' indebtedness and get that load off your shoalders and then you will be independent of the times whether good or bad. _ If every farmer in these Townships were in this position. they would never feel a time of depression. Not only so, but every one eYse in our town and villages would be in the same bappy condition, for if farmers are prosperons all the rest of the community will be progpell;ous also. But the pendulum still swings, exâ€" pansion at one extreme and depression at the other, and we have no reason to belieye that in the future it will be otherwise,. _ We will just haye to accept the facts, and of them make the best we can. Then without any apparent reason everything will change, prices go down, business slow, â€" factories closed, men idle, no money to be had, capital afraid, property of all kinds depreciate in yalue, everything is flat and dead, and we say times are bad. _ Political econâ€" omists have not yet arrived at a sati«factory conclusion as to the causes of these returning changes. Each theorist looks upon the teaching of his particular school as the one and only remedy for the evils of times of deâ€" pression. Under the existing order of things, times of expansion and times of deâ€" pression occuar periodically,. _ For a few years the prices of commodities will range high, business is brisk, manuâ€" factures of all kinds are running full time, with a full complement of men, wages are good, plenty of money in circulation, plenty of capital ready to develope anything that seems of a promising nature, â€" value of property will expand, everything is booming, and we say that times are good. The evening session was also well attended. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Magwood, Rev. Mr. Millerand Rev. Mr. Humphries of Priceville. _ ‘The greatest ot interest was manifested both by Sabbath School workers and parents, and we hope that a deeper interest will be taken in Sabbath school work throughâ€" out the township.
