Prosper Kvery farmer wants to pros per, though many arc far from it. Now and then outside cir cumstances prevent success, but in most cases the real cause of half or total failure is found in the methods employed. When this is the case the man has it in his power to become successful. He has but to in form himself as to better farm methods; and then work indus triously. wait patiently and hope fully. He should by all mean: keep up hope, not become dis couraged; stay in the fight. No one is whipped till he gives up. (ircat success may not come in a year, but if ont gels on the rur ht road ho nerd n«»t u-m-r, i( Memphis, Jackson. Vicksburg •tn«l other large cities of tho*e states. In addition to these, upward of three hundred Ital ian families were located in the same territory during the same period. He has also just completed a manuscript for an illustrated one hundred and twenty-five page pamphlet concerning The Ya/oo-Mississippi Valley, which ihc noted corrcsj»ondent, Wil liam 10. Curtis, declares is the richest valley on this hemis phere.

All he will have to do to arrive at the desired point is to keep moving. Success in farm ing is not arrived at by leaps or bounds, but by going steadily forward in a methodical way. All who fail to be successful should first of all firmly resolve to succeed. This requires that hope shall be kept alive and strong. Most of the unsuccess ful should also resolve that their method!* will be improved as soon as they learn how. Study will be needed. Reading will have to be done, but the helpful suggestions of successful farm ers that can be got in every neighborhood should not be de spised. Don’t go to the unsuc cessful to learn. Tho*e who succeed arc the ones to seek in formation from. Any Southern farmer who is capable of resolv ing to succeed and of working resolutely and with ordinary in telligence will win out.
