When 7 come within sight of my

that no other feeling can equal. |
amnt home on my, own land These
are nv own acres, which the combin-
IS ed power, of the country has guaran-
teed TO me. IT, is mine, and my
heirs forever. Here is the security.
If there is any thing more, stable in
81 the, world this is it. My frcside
therefore is builded upon sure foun-
dation. and my children are safe
We are not intruded upon; no one
has right to do this; the strong arm
ofthe law is ever ready to defend us.
Here have my worship undisturbed.

In word | am at h1me. And when
my acres wave with grain, that grain
and those acres are mine. own
them and feel them. They are
a part ofmyself My cattle, not the
cattle of thousand hills are mine: |

one, as | know my household-"Boss"

in it--honest old face l could not
do well without it.
This is the farmers privilege; and
if he does not make the most of it,
he is not worthy to be a farmer.
If he does, no state in life is equal

of in nature. No such rains as his
fragrant showers. So are the winds
which are always there easily rails

the fields with tho blue skies over
them and birds as musicians. The
earliest birds Of spring whose arrival
is so interesting, are only enjoyed

Inconstant Farming.

1t has seemed to US that much has
been lost by many of our farmers
by what may properly be styled Gin
constant farming" At certain time
eOme one product pays largely, then
all rush into it to secure the large
profits. In few years change of
circumstances renders that, product
less profita bic, or, perhaps, unprofts
able, then all are anxious to get out
of it.
Take sheep for instance. A few
years ago wool sold for one dollar a
pound, sheep were in consequence
very profitable and commanded high
prices. The rush was then for sheep.
No man could get enough of them.
Farms were mortgaged and every
resource strained to raise money
With which to, buy sheep, at big fig.
ures, on the assumption, of course,
that wool growing was to continue
thus profitable, But it does not thus
continue. wool is down to less than.
half old time prices, and no one
wants sheep. All who have them
are anxious to sell, and, of course,
they are very low. Those who sell
at present prices, sheep which they
bought when high, make big thing,
on the wrong side This buying at
high prices and selling at low is gen
orally a losing business. The oppo-
site is safer operation. When wool
is low and sheep drug is the time
10 buy sheep. You viii be quite
sure soon be able to sell at profit.
When wool is high and sheep in de-
mand is the time to SELL You will
bo quite sure soon to be able to buy
again at less rate, and Sace a profit.
This same reasoning holds in refer
encc to stock hogs, or anything else.
Another policy, and we believe even
better one, is to decide what shall
be the leading crops or stock and
then steadily pursue the plan marked
out, through thick and thin. This
seems to US the safer and better way
to secure generally satisfactory re-
suits. We hear farmers say this
year, at don't pay to put corn in
to pork this season. wish l had no
hogs to feed If this was the only
year of his farming, perhaps that
idea would be correct; but if he is
following it as regular, constant
business, we feel sure it is not correct.
Corn this year is unusually high, be-
cause unusually scarce. If farmer
has hogs to eat it they may uot res
turn him so much money as the corn
would, if sold in market; but if he
has no hogs to eat it this year, he will
have none next, when corn may not
be worth haulng'to market, and the
farmer may be glad to make fire
wood, of it, to get it out of his way.
. The true purpose of growing corn in
this State is for feed. We are too
far from market to grow it for ship
ping. An exceptional year now and
then should not lead farmer to feel ti at
he is losing money by so feeding it. 1t
is the true use to make of it as a general
rale. Instead, therefore, of wishing 70
be rid Of his hogs or cattle be cause corn
will sell this year for more in market the
farmer should rather be improving his
breeds and preparing to make them more
profitable IN future feeding If sheep
can be grown any where in the north to
a profit they can be in Iowa Any farm
er who is properly situated for it, can
make. money from sheep, provided he
