WHAT A FARMER SHOULD BE.

Somebody lays down the rule what
every farmer should be as follows:
"Not only an accomplished tiller
of the soil, but also an excellent me-
chanic, a fair harness maker, and
member of shoes, a tolerable carpen-
ter, a pretty good blacksmith Or ma
chinist, and also a wide-awake, thor
ough judge and breeder of stock,
knowing how, and caring for their
ailments-not only horses and cattle
but sheep, hogs, mules, poultry, or
anything that money can be made
out of. With all this he should be a
civil engineer, acquainted with levels
and hydraulics, and repairs of pumps
and, if in addition to these require
ments, he understands laying stone
ard brick and putting or plastering,
as well as mixing and applying paints
he viii find plenty to do, to say moth
ing Of what he ought to know about
grain and milling it."
This same somebody pictures the
good housewife, but we forbear just
now.

by each member, thus enabling him
to guarantee his family against want.
3. The adoption of such secret
work and means of recognition as
will insure the protection of its men,
bers wherever the order may exist.
4. To hold lectures, read ess. ys,
