 THRBE KINDS OP FARMERS. 



BY A. G. COMINGS. 



It has been said that there are three kinds of min- 

 isters in the church, namely, those whom God 

 has made such, those that man has made, and 

 those who were never made at all. 



It is possible that there are three kinds of phy- 

 sicians, who may be known by classing as fol- 

 lows:— The physician who heals, the physician 

 who kills, and the physician who lets his patientg 

 live or dfe as they will, without hindrance. 



There may be three kinds of lawyers in the 

 world, answering to the idea of the lawyer who 

 serves his client, the lawyer who serves himself, 

 and the lawyer who is of service to nobody. 



These three make up the trio of" The learned 

 professions." As we belong, just now, to the un- 

 learned profession, the profession of a farmer, in 

 which it is the privilege of the student to admit, 

 whether others do or do not allege, that he is 

 " an ignoramus," we will presume to say that in 

 our profession there are also three classes, inclu- 

 ding the farmer who is a farmer, the farmer who 

 is 710 farmer, and the farmer who cannot make a 

 farmer. 



As in a great many matters it is, that the last 

 thing spoken of is the first thing to be considered, 

 so we will have it in this, and take a little look at 

 the man who can never become a farmer. 



When we see a man who now has or has had 

 some other way of making or of getting money,
