AGRICULTURE


The United States owe their great prin-
cipIes OF power and duration to that spirit
OF honest industry and that God reverence
ing feeling which filed and elevated their
iorelalhers. They came from the old world
to this new one-.-to plow, harrow, and hoe
it.--looking to God alone for his blessing
upon their endeavors 10 obey his great
command, Of earning their living by the
sweat OF their brow.
Spain sent out Cortp2 and Pizarro to ga
ther the go1 of Peru end Mexico. They
did gather it. Spain dropped her spade,
her pIow, and her hoe. She reveed IN the
pride which thirty millions Of American
dollars year for ericd did sustain. She
lost the will, and OF course the power 10
continue that beautiful culture Of the spIen-
did peninsula in which her lot was cast
The Hdalgo was too proud 10 wolk---Gra-
NADIA ceased to he what it once was-.-he-
fore the voyage OF Columbus paradise in its
gardens---Spain has for forty years past al
most ceased TO be heard OF except in her
misiortunes. In that period OF time, by
the sweat OF her brow, this Union has more
than doubled the population Of poor Spain,
and grown SO rich thatthe gold of the mines
Of Peru gathered lortwenty years, will not
pay for the produce Of our industry in one
year---nor for that of England Of last year
lor ar months, for by the Parliamentary re-
turns, the product Of British agriculture in
1914, was three ihouSnad millions Of doiturs!
There is no lesson in all history like that
Of the great fountain OF Roman power.---
Cato said, "meet the arduous labor Of the
farm as YOU would the enemies Of your couR.
try in battle. Summon all your forces, and
tile earth wilreward you with all her gifts.
Neglect her and you perish"
Such was the enthusiasm which gave
that powerful people the first stand among
the nations. When they became rich,
built cities, hurded in luxurious masses,
crowded their amphilheatres, Ioungcd a
bout their magnificent baths, trying TO al

what's the news! what's the newsl they
tell wretched prey before the Goth and
the Vandal, who lived hardy life.
The people Of our country seem 10 us,
more than all others, to have drank deeply
of the precious instruction afforded by his.
tory Iii hardly practicable to find, be-
tween the AroostOok and the Rio Grand, a
sound man who idles his years away. All
are impelled by the spirit of industry which
old Cato 0oaId clap his hands TO behold
Onward! onwardl Is the national heartfelt
cry. Labor with intncible perseverance.
No disappointment can check its progress.
The axe prostrates the forest Of ages---on
comes the pow-s-and then the cradle which
gathers in the glorious grain to feed all ours
and half another nation besides, if neces.
sary. In the eagerness of cultivation, we
have not yet had time to think Of the ne'
cessary exhaustion Of our vexed fields --'
