Dignity of Farming.

1 The tread mill has long been the standard o1 tiresome labor, simply because of it's dull mo-
 notony. And so some minimizing people 1 speak of the farmers life as a very tread mil
 full of dull monotonous and never finished
 labor. But let in little thought and how the 1 picture brightens! How full of interest, yari- 1 ety and pleasure becomes the life ofthe think
 ing farmer, Closer than any other is his alli- ance to nature and his reliance on natures l God. The sun, moon and stars are his allies the winds and the rains, the dews and frosts
 and snows, are his agents. To others these elements may be beautiful or grand or terri ble, they may bring pleasure or annoyance, comfort or suffering, but to him they bring life and health, give food and rainent and minister to his wants, his comforts his pleas
 ures and his profits. His toll honors the earth and it yields him grateful reward. Ma ture puts the drops that fall from the moisten- ed brow to the same use with the dews that fall from the sky. What fellowshpi What alliance. Think of it you sun-tanned farmer as you sit al nightfall resting from your daily toll. Think of it and bless the kind Provi- dence that has so blessed and lonored you and your calling. Think of it and never de- spond. Never think thateyours is dull life.
 The sun has it's work-producng, graduating
 and regulating all those revolutions which give u9 tho S01SVho NoJ HiAu iiiSHts oSeu tiiic anu
 harvest. Grand and mighty results, in com parison with which the slow turning of the furrow is as nothing. But the revolutions of the ploughshare around the farmers field,
 turning it's foot-wide furrow, is as essential
 an agent in the life and happiness of men as is
 either the sun, the moon or the stars. What though all these shine and the seasons come
 and go--the winds blow and gentle showers
 fall, the partnership is not complete until the
 farmers toll has turned the clements into use
 and accepted the gifts of Providence. Think
 of these things, farmers. Think of them, pa
 rents, and teach your children that man can
 find no broader field, or more useful pursuit
 for healthy development and innocent exer- else of highest and best gifts of mind and
 body. Such reflections will do you goodwill strengthen you in the long, weary days when
 the burden is heavy and is hardest to bear. and should stimulate you to more careful cul-
 ture and thoughtful care of your farm.
