The man that makes farming his business ; his first and last 

 business ! 



This character becomes of some importance when we re- 

 member that the question of success in farming, as to whether 

 farming is profitable or unprofitable, depends entirely upon 

 the man and not upon the business or its accidents, for it is 

 true of agricultural pursuits, as it is of all others, that the 

 right man in the right place is a success always and ever, for 

 in God's great plan of this our universe and all that pertains 

 to it, there is a place for everything, and a thing for every 

 place. Every drop of water that trembles in the sunlight, 

 every grain of sand on the seashore, every atom in the uni- 

 verse, has its place or sphere in which to move, and the suc- 

 cess or failure of any agent or thing, depends upon its being 

 and moving in its proper orbit or place. Most of the failures 

 that occur in this our world, are the result of the violation 

 of this law of creation, either from ignorance of their true 

 position in society, or an unwillingness to take the place 

 where God intended they should move. This is pre-eminently 

 true of the professions so called, and, sometimes, painfully 

 true. 



Take the Medical Fraternity, and how apparent is this fact. 

 Not one in a thousand of them has any real genuine skill in 

 detecting or describing the ailments of our bodies, or in cur- 

 ing them, either. Not one in a thousand of them that has 

 any natural fitness or adaptation for their difficult and respon- 

 sible work, or any real love for the beautiful science they at- 

 tempt to practise. Hence quacks increase and diseases mul- 

 tiply in an exact ratio to the increase of these second rate 

 practitioners.
