American Farmers.

The Artisan says: We hazard the assertion that no class of equal average means live so well as American farmers. One of these, possessing a farm and buildings worth say ten thousand dollars, will gather about him and enjoy more real comfort than could be obtained from the income of a hundred thousand dollars in New York. He may live in a more commodious dwelling than a metropolitan citizen having ten thousand dollars annual income. He may have his carriage and horses. His table may be supplied with everything fresh in its season. His labor is less wearing than the toil of counting-rooms and offices, and he has more leisure.—Nature and Science, Scribner's for October.
