This Young Man Runs His Own
There is a young man his county,
a farmer, who has made a record during
the last five years of which he is justly
entitled to feel proud, and while we are
not at liberty to use his name there arc
a few points connected with his business
management that will be beneficial and
serviceable to the public to know.
About seven ago that young
man came into possession of what had
once been a highly improved and
able farm in the western section of this
county, but with his possession came a
heavy debt. Through several years of
bail management the farm had passed
under the tenant system which tIn-
land was cultivated, it had become vary
much impoverished and the yield was
very poor- The time had been when
there were plenty of splendid outhouses,
barns, stables and tenement houses, but
these were all dilapidated and the most
of them absolutely worthless so far as
comfort or convenience were concerned.
The farm house, a handsome structure
when first built in times,
had and the wall around it was
all rotten and gone. The ditch banks
aid hedge rows had up and here
and there all over the farm were
of the and other evidences
and neglect. In this con-
as above stated about seven years
ago he come into possession of this farm
with an it over
two thousand dollars. With no money
to make a start he was compelled to go
in debt for team and farming
and utensils and by the time he-
was ready to start his first crop it can
lie readily seen that he was in debt
very near three thousand dollars. The
first two years he made nothing to pay
upon his old debts, and so five years ago
he made a new start with a different de-
termination and different management.
Since that time he says he has stayed
at home and attended his own
Do farms entirely by the tenant
system but he has it understood in
written contracts with his tenants that
he is the business manager of the farm,
and that each crop must be cultivated
and his instructions and
that they together work for each others
mutual interests. He says that he has
no trouble with his tenants and that
each that whatever is for one
Is for the other interests. He lives ex-
at home, seldom leaving ex-

lives within twenty minutes ride
of a prosperous village but never

with the same degree of business
that he would were he engaged

days ago it was the writer's pleas-
to spend a few hours on this farm.

FIRM
So much is to be gained by
and firmness of speech as op-
posed to hysterical passion, that is
worth while every one to try to
learn how to control the tongue and
the pea so as lo obtain greatest
amount of influence over others.
Strong language is never needed to
enforce the opinion of a man who is
firm in his faith, clear in expression
logical in bis methods. It is
usually the resort bullies, those
who cannot reason, or of men who
are guided by their prejudices rather
than by logical deductions facts.
The objection to strong or ate
language is that it gives rise,
to contentious opposition. A
radical in religion or politics takes such
extreme views and urges them so
he provokes, quarrels, yet
never makes a convert. Another man,
just as firm in his convictions, mo e
moderate in expression to them
and more considerate of the opinions
of other people, can substantially
the same things without irritating those
differ with him. He does not
provoke a quarrel, but invites a calm
discussion, lie thus has the chance at
least of winning over to his
views, whereas the radical drives them
once. Moreover, the
man may remain firm because he

goes to such extremes that he is oil-
