Condition of y&Kricul tare
In my opinion, farmers are sspros
perous as they have ever been, with
the single exception of the period
during the War, when a neighbor in
Washington county, Ohio, sold a hog
for .more money than he ever re
ceived before or since, for a. cow.
Vhat is prosperity? Is it merely
an mcrease in the bank aceount, or
s it not rather this and something
Htttore ana nigner aaaea tnereioi
Better eatiDg, better clothing, bet
ter thinking, better living in every
respect? And surely no well in
formed man will deny that Ameri
can farmers, or at least those of the
great northern States, have better
houses today than they had just be
fore the War or just after it, more
roomy, less cold and dark and smo
ky, better painted, with better cel
lars under them. They have a grta
ter variety of food, it is better cooked
there are more horses and carriages
in proportion to population, more
silk and silver in the cupboard, more
musical instruments, books and pa
pers in the house, more cooked din
ners on Sunday, less driokirg and
drunkenness id harvest and sheep
washing. And, finally, I assert
boldly, in the face of all the modern
jeremiads, that there is more money
per capita of the rural population
deposited in bank, lent out on in
terest, or invested in railroad and
other stocks than at any other pe
riod of cur history. I do not deny
the debts and mortgages, the notes
and bonds, the reckless way in which
many farmers burden themselves for
machinery which Is" a'lowed to rot
in the fetce corner. But the very
fact that firmers are able to com
mand these luxuries and waste
them too, if they please (they are
paid for sooner or later, for farmers
go bankrupt less than any other
clasp), shows that there is wealth
among the agricultural classes. They
are making money; they live well.
Which is the more prosperous,
the old farmer who, with bis wife
and large family lived all bis life in a
fcinall, co;d, dark, emoky house, with,
a cellnr so poor that it had to be
diligently calked every fait to keep
the potatoes from freezing, and man
aged to scrape together a few hun
dred dol'ars or a few thousmds, to
be invested in more land or deposit
ed in bank; or the son who builds a
commodious houfe, with all the
comforts und conveniences that a
cultnrt d wife could wish, in which
he lives like a gentleman, even tho
he has a debt over his head which it
takes him ten years to remove ?
The present generation of farmers
are more prosperous than their fa
thers, bee use they are more intelli
gent, have better appliances, better
machinery, better livestock, better
nd larger maikets, quick r trans
pottation. They make more money
because they have more to begin
with; it takts capital to begin'with; it
takes capital tocrea e capital "The

did thirty years ago. I have an ac
count book kept by my father and
grandfather, beginning in Connecti
cut in 1803, then coming to Wash
ington county, Oh:o, in 1805. In
1858 a bushel of corn would bay
two yards of calico, and a bushel of
wheat six. It took one and a half
bushels of corn to buy a plow point,
ten to buy a bushel of peaches. A
farm hand could ( am only thirty-two
or forty-four bushels of corn per
month, or two buehels by the day
(2 in haying). A month's wages in
salt port would average about 130
pounds; muslin, 11 ct.; gingham, 15
cts. Going back to 1827, I find corn
25 cts.; wheat 50 cts. A bushel of
corn would buy a ysrd of calico,
three pecks would mail a k tter,jeven
bushels would buy a pair of woman's
calf skin shoe?, three bushels would
buy fifteen grains of quinine, five
bushels a pound of tea, one biShel a
pound of coffee, ten bushels a b rrel

less than a pound of loaf sugar (28

Farmers sons generally show less
willingness than formerly to remain
on the farm, for the reason that their
fathers have more' means to give
give them an education than was the
case thirty years ago, and education
"ery often gives the young man an
elevated, ideal;zing and abstract
turn of mind which indisposes him
to a life of outdoor labor. The cli
mate of America has a tendency to
develop nerve rather than muscle,
and a nervous, brainy man is apt to
disdain the farm and turn it over to
his muscular brother fresh fiom

Utisiuess Habits.
These coLstitute a prime requisite
to business success.' They are a
trade by themselve?, and must be
learned, after which they are follow
ed, just like other habits. It is pos
sible for a man to succeed in tne
printing business, when he has ne
practical knowledge of the trade, if
he uses good judgment id calling ac
complished workmen to his aid, and
i v J j
can coutroi tumcieni patronage.
But it is utterly impossible for the
most jhorough printer to boild up a
business if he cannot add to his
technical knowledge the benefit of
busicess habits. Likewise, it is
t ue that thorough skill in tbe print
ing trade and good literary ability
are not all the requirements neces
sary for establishing and maintain
ing a newspaper. We siy it with
tecrret, but it is none the le s a fact,
that a most prolific cause of failure
or stagnation in the building up of
newspapers is the lack of considera
tion on the part of proprietors for
the plainest and best settled rules of
business.
Every dealer places a certain value
on .his good. They represent a cer

some newspaper men. They indeed
have a printed list of advertising
i ate, and it is to be hoped they be
lieve in the value of the space; but
just because the'y cannot, like the
mei-chant, fiyure the actual net coat
( f this space to themselves, they put
a yoiy nexiDie construction upon it,
and, in many cases, it is little be ter
than a mockery. If a customer of
fers the merchants fifty per cent lets
thaa cost for an article, it i: very
easy for the latter to decline the
offer. But the newspaper man, in
too many cases, cannot find the
courage to refuse any caah offer that
an advertising patron may make.
The merchant would' say, "I would
rather leave the goods on my shelves
than sell them at a loss." So the
publisher should declare, "I will fill
the columns of my paper with mis
cellaneous plates rather than degrade
my reputation by accepting ads. at a
rate that is unrernunerative. ,
As a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, so a publisher's rates
are no higher than bis lowest terms.
He may publish in b!ack figures his
advertising rates, but it is all to no
purpose if he .'.eviatts from them in
a single instance, except, f course,
to give a fair discount for, contracts
covering a long period ofvtime.
The newspaper man must know
that he is giving full value for alt
money received, and that knowledge,
will give him an independence th t
will inspire his patrons with confi
dence in the value of his paper.
He should always resent with mdig
nation the spirit that prompts a
man to say, 'Yes; I'll advrrtjse," or,
"I'll subscribe, just to help tLe pa
per along." The editor canuot af
ford to pose as a mendicant, a re
ceiver of charity, before his consti
tuency. He can better afford to con
time his hand press a year longer,
than to have a new cylinder which
waa purchased at tho expense of
his self respect. He dan better af
ford to wear a patched ! garment for
a while, if he can keep beneath 4& a
manly spirit of : independe nce that
comes from the knowledge that he
gives all men a just and equitable
return for their patronage. Newspa
per publishing i a business, that,
intelligently managed, contributes
more than any other to tbe welfare
of a community. It is a part of the
publisher's duty to convince the peo
ple of this fact, and the best way to
do it is to make them fed his power
for good, both morally and commer
cially. Printers Album.
Tbe PliUosopby ot Advcrtltiiujr,
It is surpising to note how large a
majority of newspaper publishers
are either oblivious of or indifferent
to the advantages to be ga;ned by a
systametic method of educating th ir
business constituencies upon the
principles which prove that judcious
advertising is the most remunerative
invest ment that can be made, or in
the science of advertising so as to
insure the greatest benefit to the ad
vertiser. This thortcoming is the
most inexcusable and surprising,
when we consider the means at the
editor's hand for accomplishing this
work, and the extent anddirectness
of the personel and aelfiish interest
which it is open to him to direct
thereby. The average advertiser
except, it may be, in the cities where
the attrition of compet ve forces goui
pulsorily sharpens the faculties in
this respect has no intelligent con
ception of advertising. How many
in r hauls will you, fiud wbo are
honestly skeptic .1 about the actual
fact of advertising? who think they
really advertise "to keep up the pa
per," or to promote a personal or
party interest? aud who rega d the
newspaper as their beneficiary ra ber
than as their benefactor? 1 he e ditor
may talk to such a one until doms
day about the excelence of bn "me
dium:" neither the sober truth or tbe
glittering romance regarding, "circu
lating touches his understanding.
for he has no intelligent comprehen
sion of the logical proccess by which
the advertisement is made the vhicle
of profit. When the publisher ex
tols his circulation, this merchant
may beueve mm, or ne mar not; in
either ease it goes no deeper than to
suggest to him, "This editor is after
some of my money." The fault is
the editors. Let him each week
''evote a judicious portion of Lis
own space to as partial and mt Hi
geccj elucidation of the th .ry of ad
vertisirg, on general prinj pies and
without special reference o bis own
business, proving the rule by result
in specific cases, and thus judiciously
and unconciously le ding the reason
in fir faculties of the incredulous
merchant in the right diree tion. th
latter will shortly convince himself,
by natural and conclusive mental
process, that advertising must pay,
and will heueeforth need no solicita
tion to induce him to test iff. This

"keeping everlastingly
at it." Ink
