Mr. Wiltse moved from near Brockyline to his farm in Tuckerentith, nearly thirty-six years ago, and he still resides on it and worke it. He is 75 years of age, but is still bale and hearty, and he say's hej intends, to remain onethe farm as long as he can ashe is not in. • .arty person's way there, and ,he al- ways feels better when both body and 1 mind are employed.. In this Mr. Wiltse is wise. We think many farm - ere make a mistake when they eell e their farms and go to reside M a town or village. They drop out all . at fence of active life and assume ' new conditioner and surroundings and , have little that is congenial to oc- cupy either body or mind, while they are tose old to take kindly to 'new ways and we 'entirely different mode of lite in what they have been so long aceustomed. But they do not find out .their mistake until it is too late to remedy it. If they can not make more than a bare living on the farm they are wive who stick to it.
