A young man from the country wants my advice as to whether he should go in for general or special purpose farming. I 'say go in for both, if you are fit or it. Only i the other day Walter Lynch emanstrated in his own humorous fashion t at his favor- ite Shorthorns could he made a success rilong either line if you only knew how and staid in the business long enough. A young inan can adapt himself rather more easily to the situation, because his facilities are oaly in the gristle stage. It takes time and fame to turn gristle into solid b6ne.. But there are unfortunately, in farming as well as in other callings, specimens of the jelly fish order, almost, if not entirely destitute of back bone or the stuff it is made of, who do very little thinking of their wn, and want outside help in the formatio of their plans. I am a strong believer in lans, but a still stronger believer in purpos . If my young friend has " git" an " it," his will make his mark in any fi Id.
