Show Our farmecs have many troubles of their own, but they are not in it wiili the agiiculturists of Australia. A clever writer down on that island continent, which is a small woild in itself, sajs: "If the Lord loves those whom he chastenclh, then the slockraisers of Australia must stand in high favor." They are troubled with every pest under the sun and moon. They have millions of rabbits to destroy their crops, 'dingoes" to kill their sheep, ticks and warble flies to worry the cattle; in fact, there seems to be no pest known to science that isn't down in Australia working full time and never taking a vacation. Even under all these disadvantages farmers sometimes raise good ci ops and plenty of stock, and then they are so far from market that they have to sacrifice their products for ulmost nothing. Our farmers are better off than they think. Drover Journal. |
