Under God, it is on himself he must depend for future success.
And here is the proper place to speak of the class of persons whom we can confidently invite to our Catholic colonies—
FARMERS ALONE.
Not necessarily those who have heretofore been engaged altogether in agricultural pursuits, but persons who come to settle on farms, and who are able and willing to hold the plow. The poor man to succeed on a farm in Minnesota, must hold his own plow, and do his own chores; and, above all, have courage and strength to depend upon himself.
If he has a good, healthy, cheerful, wife, who prefers the prattle of her children to the gossip of the street, why, all the better—let him come along, and we will put him on the road to
PROSPERITY.
He has made more than half the journey already, when he has secured a good wife.
