The Huron Expositor, 1889-04-19, Page 60 F '.• v•I • Nothing V'enture,11 Nothing " The tendency of all articles writ for The Farmer on debt, is to &mu age young men just starting in life fro venturing a single point beyond ca payment. I think no young' man Wi the necessary energy andsmbition, ne fear tomake is reasonable venture, good business principles. Of course, young man should not go into debt for whole farm and expect the farm to p for itself. But if a reasonable debt incurred, each as good business judgment - would advise, taking everything into * consideration, it will be a good thing for • the young man. It will stimulate hint to greater exertion and eoonomy, and start him (Ain life on the -right track. Some men, in making investments of thhe kind, and gating posteision, of the property, suddenly feel themselves rich and relax their efforts to accumu- late. As Josh Billings describes it, ther " set themselves down on a stun in the middle of a 'ten-acce lot, and wait for Sum- oow to come along .end back heraelf up to be milked." Let me give mute personal experience by way of illustration, fort have bought two or three farms, and paid for them, although making a.very small payment down ba either case. The greatest mis- take I ever made Was in paying so much down as to cripple myself. I have learned that* reasonable debt was bet- ter than too heavy a 4drain, upon work- ing resources. I say, emphatically, that no venture made upon sound calouia- tion and reasonable business expects - gob, need fail from any other cause titan neglect or incompetency -Upon the • part of the buyer. Let the young man who makes such a venture( keep no - more stock than he can keep well. If by chance he should become overstock- ed he should not "scrimp," but feed well until he can sell profitably,. 13e sure to know what a "paying" price is. - Don't get exoited because the market does-, and Donolude that priceawill never eease to advanee. Take a good price when you can get it, and. let the fool , wait for the larger -one. Don't.sell- a good colt, sheep, hog or cow, that you .need yourself, boo- ause some one offers you a good price. Don't use a cheap male to save a dollar. " It- is "penny wise and pound foolish," even though you are in debt. Because wheat jumps alp to a high price, don't sow the entire - farm. It may be low in price next year. •. Don't drop all other' branches of farm- ing and go it blind on hogs when pork is high. No -other kind of stock is so prolific and can so soon overstock the market. Nothing_ will eat a man poor sa-noon as a lot of poorly -fed swine at 3 cents& pound. Use judgment; be careful; be economical; • be energetic; be intelligent. Any reasonable debt on l• and can be paid, with these attributes to help.—W. D. Croat, in Ohio Farmer. - ten r- sh th ed on a a, o ay next friend.—Harper's IVe,ekly. be How a 'Fault -Finding Woman Made Herself Extremely I - Ridicsulous.. ! People who have formed the habit of finding -fault with every thing and on all occasions, not only render. themselves disagreeable to those with whom they come in _Contact, but frequently place themselves in very awkward Positions. This, says the Young:People's .Week1y, was the experience of a young lady w o, while attending service in a church in Providenoe Rhode Island, not long since, forgot that it is better to worship God than to spend- the time in criticis- ing_ the Keacher. The minister in question was a :young man, scarcely twenty-one years of age,- and was widely known as the boy- preachtfr. ,On this particular Sabbath helacija-trohanged with one of the city clergymen and his wlfe, who. looked • older thin her husband, accompanied him. She was ushered into the clergy- man's pew, while the minister 'passed through the vestry and thence intothe • pulpit bya privatestaircase. There Were many persons in the con- gregatitht who had never seen the young minister, and there was a noticeable buzz of purprise when the boyish figure mmante&the pulpit steps. 13y chance, a strangelady was seated by the side of the prea her's wife, and she began the following dialogue: .1" Is that young thing pastor of this church ?", "No, thatRev. Rev-. Mr. D " QoodnessOne 1 I don't want to hear him preach: Why, he's Ibilething but a boy." \ . After a really eloquent sermon, which, if it had no other effect, changed the opinion of the strange lady, she turned to her neighbor and said: "Pretty good sermon, wa'n't it? I like_ him,: don't you ?" As the "boy" descended from the pulpit and came to where his Wife was standing, she quietly took his arm,, and turning to the astonished stranger, re- plied, with a smile. "Of cotirrie . I ought to, for he is my husband !" about this person now that the place once filled is vacant. But if We had said a tenth of it all when it might have been heard by the living person, of how !pooh more worth it had been ! What joy and tiatisfaction it might have given! The subject of it all might have felt as if iatisfiddLto leave life with such appreci- ation. But it was not spoken, and life wept on4the same thing over with the it: and now we regret it; and ?.-1A-4-rWal• I - - tg A Quick Courtshfp. Jacob Stravin'of Jacksonville, Illi- nois, was during his life time the larg- . est farmer in Illinois, and a very eccen- tric man. The circumstances of his - marriage were as follows : Outside of Jacksonville, a couple of miles, perhaps, there lived quite a re- spectable family. This family employed & servant girl. Graceful and neat in the extreine, and possessing a fair share a intelligence, this girl was a match for -. whomsoever might take her unto him- self. Jacob saw this flower, and deter- mined to possess it; One clay he rode – up to the door of the residence of the fair maid, alighted from his horse and knocked with the butt end of his whip. The lady of the house answered . his summons, and immediately upon ,her making her appearance, Jacob asked for the servant girl. The *orient girl came. Jacob said: "1 want **lie and. 'I have picked.you out as the mast proper person for that position I ban possibly find. I've nevir Spoken to you before, but then that makes no difference. give you one week -to decide." • • The girl blushed and was dumfound- ed. Jacob mounted his horse and rode away. - The girl inquired into- Mr. Strawn's character and standing, and was advised by those with whom She lived to &leapt the offer of his hand, Punctually, a week later, 'Jacob rode up to the do -or and knocked again with his whigand asked: "Xs it no or yes ?" Blushingly the girl answered in a.low tone, but quite distinctly: Yes." - "Welly" said Jhoob, "let's See; we'll get married the day after to -morrow, Wednesday. . Here's some money to buy a wedding outfit." and he threw her a purse containing a thousand dollars. The couple did getmarried on Wed- • nesdayr, and, no haPiiier pair, during their life time, was to be met with in the State of Illinois. Aimm;ommmd.in.118••••••• Why Not be. Sind to the - Living? It is an odd thing that no sooner has death defined our friends for his own than we begin to say and do a multi- tude of things of little use at all then in conaparison to that which they *might- - have been had they come in advance of deAth. Then out of hand we flock to the . • house-3vith offers of assistance and prof- fers of friendship; we rob our gardens and our hot -houses and send cut flowers .in profusion' and funeral wreath's and crosses andpillows and anchors And Stars to encumbrance, and do all we can, though late, to hide And disguise and sweeten fate.- But if we had flocked to • the house while the dead could have been aware of it how much pleasure and excitement and relief from monotonous or lonesome hours our sick friends might have enjoyed when all was a - tiresome round of day &rid night and medicine and solitude, when a bunch of flowers brought in would have brought a light to the dull eyes of: joy both over the gift and the giver, joy which n� broken 'col-, nmns of tuberoses and ivies, costing small fortunes, can bring to the eyes of • the dead! Even could we not have been admitted to the sick -room itself, we could have brought there the murmur of the outside world by the mere knowledge given to the patient that we were within thaates, some break, some cheer, some, Then, too, how profuse we are with our good words after the ears are stopped with dust. We do not hesitate to say all that is true or even more than is true in praise of the departed. It is as if we, had suddenly discovered in the sand a jewel fit for kings to wear; we make an *outcry and hold. it ug to the light and turn it this way and that, and exclaim 'and -marvel and admire and call others to do likewise. There is nothing to say Sorry -They Spoke,' "Thins twice before• you speak once" is an old adage that has been a thnusand . times justified. It is the thoyghtleso speaker him siva Mr. J dote of breakfast coffee. ' ,. "I never take sugar unless the -.coffee is very, very bad indeed, you -know," said he. 'Presently he added„ after tasting the coffee. "May 1 trouble you for the sugar ?" - On a. par with this blunder is the story of an American who was break- fasting with a friend, and to the sure• prise of his hostess, deolined coffee. "1 thought you always took it ?" said she. • "1 do at home," he said, jocosely, "but that's because my wife gives me so little to eat. When there isn't much for- breakfast I take coffee in, self- defense." _ The conversation drifted into some interesting channel, and he quite for gOt his facetious excuse. Lacer, when - the aroma of the ceffee struck him more and more temptingly, he turned to his hostess, saying • Mrs. A., I should so molt like a cup of coffee." His feelings may be imagined at the burst of laughter which followed his blundering remark.—Golden- Days. The Credit -due the Farm. hose tongue continually leads • 1 mes T.

Say- you have $8,000 in_ a two hundred acre f farm ,and another $1,000 in stock and toot& rhit at sixper cent. represents} $540. If you sell the farm and live on your iniome, you must make the $540 do it all. Suppose you have a family of two or three children; and these with yourself and wife must be fed and _clothed out of the interest on the $9,000, In addition to this must come house rent, fuel, horse keeping or livery hire. - If I mistake not it must be stated in this way,for.if we mean six per cent. net above all these expenses, we are asking too mubh of the $9,000, ,as money is usually prudently loaned. My point is this: Giv the 200 acre or $9,000 farm credit for.. house rent, fuel, horse hire„. everything - eaten or fed out that you would have to•buy if you didn't- own the _farm before you charge it with six.

You will find a different balance to your books if you give the farm a fair show on the credit as well as .the debit side. e ' 4 off the farm it would take the $540 to carry youthrough theyear, the farm pays just so much over six per cent. as you pay out for labor and necessary ex- penses, besides quite a thrifty shilling in the pocket, or in grain, etc, waiting to be sold.} In these} depressed times there are multitudes of one hundred acre farms givingfain lies a good living, and a little more, that would not •sell for $3,000. What sane man would undertake to sup- port an average familyon the six per cent. interetit st on the price of the farm? The trouble is, we don't give the farm the &edit that belongs to it. We ask it to -pay family expenses hired help, taxes, and I then quarrel with it because we fail to "net" a certain per cent. on the capital invested. . We talk ?about farming as a _ failure, when in fact it is the most substantial business on the globe. The 0very per cent we are talking about is a prniel.- Witty only because the farmers- as _ta- class are prosperous. They are com- •.1 H F H CRON EXPOSITOR.
